Chapter 166 

Charlie felt his head pounding. 

He slowly stood up and said, “Let’s go and have a look, Ben.” 

At this moment, Ben had a bad feeling. 

But when he didn’t hear that anything had happened to Susan, he could still keep calm. 

In the guest room, the family physician had arrived. 

When Charlie and Ben came in, the physician was checking on Penelope and Isabella. Susan stood aside in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking. 

When Charlie saw Penelope covered in blood, he couldn’t take it anymore. 

Ben quickly held him up and said, “Take grandpa out first!” 

“Wait! Grandpa, you can’t leave.” Leo suddenly stood up, his face full of grief and indignation. 

Ben frowned, his expression clouded with concern. 

Leo shouted, “Grandpa, you must take care of this!” 

“What’s going on?” Charlie rubbed his temples and asked slowly. 

“You’ll have to ask Susan then.” Leo pointed angrily at Susan. “Isabella said that it was this woman who pushed mom. Mom’s head hit the corner of the table! Not only that, but after that, Isabella went to protect mom, but she also pushed Isabella away like crazy! She’s so crazy, Grandpa, are you not going to punish her?” 

Charlie immediately turned to look at Susan. 

Ben felt his heart skip a beat and couldn’t help looking at Susan. 

Susan said slowly, her lips devoid of color, “I didn’t do it.” 

Susan had never expected that she would fall into their trap here.

Today, she was already very careful. 

During the entire birthday banquet, she was wary and did not dare to make a single mistake. 

But she didn’t expect that, the real killing move was after the banquet. 

Moreover, Isabella was actually crazy to such an extent. 

This was far beyond what Susan had imagined. 

In order to frame her, Isabella wanted to kill Penelope and the child in her own belly? 

Was she still a normal person? 

She must be a devil. 

However, Susan was at a loss for words. 

At that time, there were only three of them in the room. 

Penelope was still in a coma. 

Would the others believe that Isabella had pushed Penelope? 

Would they believe that Isabella would be so crazy? 

“How dare you quibble?” Leo said angrily, “At that time, there were only the three of you in the room. The physician said that mom’s wound was caused by multiple collisions. Did she deliberately bump into it? Isabella and I look forward to this child so much. Now that the child is about to die, could it be that Isabella also bumped into it on purpose?” 

Isabella touched her belly and cried sadly. 

Leo hurriedly comforted her in a low voice. 

Isabella wiped her tears and looked at Susan with swollen eyes. “Susan, mom had a lot of conflicts with you today. But no matter what, she doesn’t deserve to die.” 

As she spoke, Isabella fell into Leo’s embrace and cried, Leo, it’s my fault. I failed to protect mom.” 

Chapter 166 

“How can it be your fault?” Leo suddenly felt distressed. 

Isabella immediately cried even more miserably. 

Susan gritted her teeth. “Isabella, you know very well that I have never pushed her.” 

“Did I push her then?” Isabella looked at Charlie in tears. “Grandpa, mom and Susan had several conflicts today. You can check that. It was because of these conflicts that Susan suddenly attacked her. In fact, she didn’t do it on purpose when mom fell down. It was just that the two of them quarreled, and she accidentally pushed mom. Mom fainted at that time, but later, she insisted that mom pretended to faint and attacked her a few more times. She… did it on purpose!” 

Charlie was livid. 

He pressed his temples and said word by word, “Go and find out what happened today.” 

On the other side, after the physician finished the basic check–up, he immediately let the car take Penelope and Isabella to the hospital. 

Before leaving, Isabella was still crying, almost out of breath. She begged Charlie to uphold justice for them. 

Charlie kept a straight face and didn’t say anything. 

Ben looked at the bloodstains all over the ground with a thoughtful expression. 

Susan stood alone at the side, looking a little frail. 

Ben felt sorry for her and wanted to walk over. 

“Stand still!” Charlie shouted. “Let’s talk about it after the investigation results come out.” 

“Grandpa.” Ben didn’t agree. 

Susan shook her head at him. 

Charlie was in poor health, and today was a special day. 

His moods changed quickly at a drastic state. They couldn’t let anything happen to her. 

Chapter 100 

Ben looked at the livid face of Charlie and frowned without saying a word. 

Not long after. 

The so–called evidence was placed in front of Charlie. 

Evidence one. 

A security guard reported that when Susan and Carl were talking by the lake, Penelope had once walked over. Her voice was noisy, and it seemed that she had a conflict with Susan.. 

The housekeeper went to verify it with Carl. 

very ang Carl confirmed the security guard’s words. He also said that Susan was with Penelope for being unreasonable. But because of the birthday party, she could only endure 

1. it. 

Evidence two. 

The maid said that when Penelope was choosing her room, she deliberately made things difficult for Susan. 

In the end, Susan asked her to go out first. 

When the door opened again, what she saw was what everyone had seen. 

These two pieces of evidence only proved one thing. 

Penelope and Susan had a conflict. 

Moreover, it was Penelope who was being unreasonable, which made Susan very angry. 

Under such circumstances, it was very logical for Susan to accidentally push Penelope to the corner of the table when they had a conflict. 

Charlie closed his eyes wearily. 

“Grandpa,” Susan said softly, “I really didn’t do it.” 

Charlie opened his eyes and looked at her. “Go ahead. I’m listening.” 

Chapter 166 

Susan pursed her lips. “I didn’t touch Penelope at all from beginning to end. It was Isabella. 

She suddenly went crazy and pushed Penelope to the corner of the table.” 

“And then, she used her belly to hit the corner too?” Charlie asked calmly. 

Susan gritted her teeth and nodded. “That’s the truth.” 

“Do you think I’m senile?” Charlie grabbed a pen and threw it over. 

Ben raised his eyebrows and blocked it with his hand.

“What do you mean?” Charlie asked, his eyes turning a little red. “I know you Penelope, but Ben, she has been with me for so many years. Although Penelope has done all kinds of bad things, she really took care of me. Even if she has done many bad things, do you think she deserves to die for what she has done?” 

Ben slowly shook his head. 

“You know, Penelope was injured in her head in the early years! If it were anyone else, they might be fine with such a wound, but if it were Penelope, it would be fatal, Charlie said angrily. “If something happened to her, would you be at ease?” 

Ben continued to shake his head, but he still stood in front of Susan and did not move. 

“You… Very well.” Charlie rubbed his temples and became even angrier. “I’ve always been biased to you, Ben. But after all, she’s your stepmother, and Isabella is also pregnant with your brother’s child! Don’t you have any family affection at all?” 

“Grandpa, the situation isn’t clear yet. I think…” 

As Ben spoke, Charlie suddenly held his head. 

Ben felt his heart skip a beat and he rushed over. 

Susan also wanted to go over. 

However, Charlie pointed at her and said sternly, “Stay away from me first. I just scolded you. I don’t know what you will do to me!” 

At that moment, Susan was at a loss. 

Chapter 166 

Her eyes were slightly red. 

She was completely drowned in the shadows.
