Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Exnation! I didn’t do it on purpose!


    “You… how are you—” Discarding the few pearls just picked up, Cam Walker tried to step forward to check, but a sudden figure violently brushed her off!


    Baron Stuart had just entered the living room when he witnessed such a scene, and a surge of anger rose rapidly from within him.


    “Emily?” His voice tinged with tension, he looked at the child in his arms, his eyes filled with a hint of distress.


    Fortunately, the staircase wasn’t very tall; Emily had been thrown into a dizzying tumble, her forehead sporting a big bump, with a trace of blood faintly visible.


    “Emily, you… are you alright?” Ang Reid was also in a state of desperate concern, worried about how badly she might have fallen.


    Emily touched her forehead, taking a little while to regain her bearings after being stunned by the fall.

    Shaking her head, she said, “I’m fine, it’s just that my forehead hurts a bit.


    “What on earth happened? How could you have just tumbled down the stairs like that?” Ang Reid was still bewildered, looking at her for answers.


    Emily tried to stand up and looked at the staircase. She wasn’t very clear about how she fell down, only remembering that it seemed like she had stepped on something.


    “It seems like I stepped on something, and then… I fell down…” Trying to recollect, she remembered that just now Cam Walker had cautioned her ‘be careful’!


    Hearing this, Baron Stuart and Ang Reid both directed their sight toward the staircase, only then noticing the numerous small beads scattered on it.


    Why would there be pearls on the staircase?


    It wasn’t just Baron Stuart who was puzzled; even Ang Reid was unclear, as the servants at home always kept things very clean. With so many pearls, it was impossible they hadn’t noticed them.


    “Why are there beads on the stairs…” she muttered, confused.


    At this moment, Cam Walker lifted her head, and she looked at Baron Stuart with fear in her heart.


    But with the situationid bare before her, could she really escape being implicated?


    “It was me. I did it,” she said, raising her eyes to her mother.


    Ang Reid, hearing this, was even more astonished, her eyes widening.


    Yet, she firmly believed that Cam Walker wouldn’t harm Emily again.


    “I identally broke the pearl ne just now.” She still wanted to exin what she needed to.


    The pearls were indeed identally spilt by her, but she truly had no intention of harming Emily.


    Baron Stuart, upon hearing her candid admission, had eyes that turned blood-red with rage, as if a fire was burning within them.


    Staring at the woman before him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Cam Walker’s neck, his eyes bloodthirsty, “Do you think I really won’t kill you?”


    Cam Walker gasped for air, caught in his tight grasp, her brows furrowing in difort, feeling as if she were on the verge of suffocation.


    Desperately pping at his gripping arm, she tried to exin, “I didn’t… I, cough cough… I didn’t mean to!”


    She had finally gotten the chance to live; why would she carelessly risk it all again?


    Leaving aside her currentck of will to do anything to Emily, even if she wanted to, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to make a move within this household!


    Seeing Baron Stuart’s actions, Ang Reid was terrified, as if her soul had scattered. Baron Stuart’s demeanor was downright murderous, intent on taking Cam Walker’s life!


    “Baron Stuart… this, this might be a misunderstanding…”


    But Baron Stuart didn’t see it that way.


    If every single one of her actions was a misunderstanding, then how many times would Emily have died at her hands!


    Ignoring Ang Reid’s words, Baron Stuart increased the pressure of his fingers.
