Fortunately, Raegan placed her hands on the ground for support.

His body did not hit the ground.

Before he could get up, an ancient voice rang from afar.

"Are you Mitchel's wife?"

Raegan raised her head and saw an elderly woman in her sixties sitting on the couch. She was dressed luxuriously, but her face was cold.

Raegan was about to say something when she suddenly felt a rush of wind on her face.

Crisp slaps followed.

It turned out that Raegan was slapped twice before she could react.

They were brutal slaps, hard and ferocious.

Obviously, the person who slapped her had exerted a lot of force.

In an instant, both sides of Raegan's face were red and swollen.

«How dare you ignore my grandmother's question! Of course, you are a humble redneck. “You have no manners at all.”

It was Tessa who spoke. He had a sinister smile on his face as he blew on his hand complacently. She was the one who slapped Raegan.

Anger immediately filled Raegan's eyes. He stood up, wanting to return the favor.

But before she could do anything, the maid behind her suddenly raised a foot to make her stumble.

Raegan wasn't prepared, so she lunged forward. Fortunately, he did not fall to the ground.

Then something fell to the ground with a crash.

It turned out that an exquisite porcelain vase on the bench fell to the ground and shattered.

"My God!" Tessa shouted in shock. He pointed at Raegan and scolded her: “Bitch! "How dare you break my grandmother's favorite vase."

Raegan frowned.

«Why do you blame me? It's not my fault. "It was an accident."

Tessa scoffed: “Isn't it your fault? We saw it and we can attest to it.

Do you still deny it?

Raegan straightened her back, pointed to the maid next to her, and said calmly, “If she hadn't tripped me, I wouldn't have fallen and knocked over the vase. "As I said, it was an accident."

I had a hunch that Tessa had come prepared. So now he had to stay calm. He couldn't get into trouble.

Of course, the maid would deny it. She pointed at Raegan and pretended to be surprised.

«Hey, miss! Please don't incriminate me. I don't even know her. I saw it with my own eyes. “You wanted to attack Miss Lloyd just now and you tripped.”

«Yes, it is true. “I saw it too,” another maid echoed.

Tessa scoffed, “Raegan, you're really amazing. "How dare you lie with so many people watching." Then he turned to the maids and ordered, "Hold her down and teach her a lesson until she admits it."

As soon as he said this, the two maids stepped forward to restrain Raegan.

Raegan didn't know if she was just imagining things. But he always had the feeling that Tessa had been looking at his belly while she spoke.

Did Tessa know she was pregnant? But how?

I was confused. But alas, he didn't have time to think about it now. His current situation was his biggest concern.

"Do not touch me!" Raegan screamed when she felt the maid's grip.

She vigorously shook off the maid's hands and squinted at the maids. Then she said dryly, “I'm Mitchel's wife. I am the daughter-in-law of the Dixon family. I'm one of the guests at tonight's birthday party. If something happens to me, have you thought about how to explain it to the Dixon family? Are you sure you can afford to offend them?

At that critical moment, she had no choice but to use her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Dixon family. And it seemed effective.

The two maids' hands froze and hesitated.

Seeing this, Raegan calmed down and continued, “As for the vase, I will not argue with you any further. Even though it wasn't my fault, I could pay for it. But if you dare to hurt me, you are putting yourself against the Dixon family. Are you sure you can afford the consequences?

Sure enough, Raegan's words scared the two maids. They stood stunned and looked at Tessa's grandmother, waiting for her instructions.

Sariah looked at Raegan as she played with the rosewood bracelet on her hand. There was no trace of kindness on his face. He said slowly, “Young lady, you are a bit rude.” No wonder Mitchel had never introduced you, not even after being married for two years. Very good.

Today I will teach you a lesson in the name of Mitchel. I'm sure he'll thank me later."

After saying this, Sariah winked at the maids next to her.

These two maids were Sariah's confidants. They had done countless bad things for Sariah over the years, so they quickly understood what he meant. One of them kicked Raegan in the shin.

Raegan collapsed instantly and knelt on the ground.

The other maid swung her arm and hit Raegan in the back of the head.

It was so loud that Raegan lowered her head and her ears rang.

The maid then said, "Behave yourself."

Tessa stood behind Sariah and looked at Raegan with eyes full of disgust. Then he said, “Grandma, Mitchel doesn't like this woman at all. He was only forced to marry this bitch because she cheated on him.

AND…"

He paused and looked up and down Raegan's tattered dress. It was like a wolf watching its prey.

Then he continued, “Grandma, look at her dress. It's a mess.

Maybe she had an affair with one of the guests at the party. It's a shame. You must discipline her for Mitchel's sake.

Sariah's wrinkled eyes narrowed. He looked at Raegan and snapped, “You're shameless! How dare you do something so embarrassing at my father-in-law's birthday party? Take her and teach her a good lesson.

At that moment another maid arrived.

He carried a long wooden stick as thick as an arm. It was stained with blood. It must have hit a lot of people.

Raegan's eyes widened.

«What are you going to do? You're crazy? "Don't you dare touch me."

She panicked. Even if she could withstand such a thick stick, the baby she was carrying couldn't. She feared for her baby.

Sariah remained silent. Tessa, for her part, couldn't wait any longer. He pointed at Raegan and shouted, “What are you waiting for?

Hit him."

Tessa had planned this plan for a long time. In fact, she was the one who convinced her great-grandfather to invite Raegan to the party.

Then she and her mother started complaining about Raegan in front of Sariah. Naturally, Sariah was partial to them and wanted to teach Raegan a lesson. So all he had to do was bring Raegan to Sariah.

She didn't expect to find out from Lauren tonight that Raegan was pregnant.

Even God was on their side!

Now, Tessa could get rid of Raegan and her baby at the same time.

His plan was perfect.

Tessa wasn't swayed by Raegan's threat at all. He didn't believe the Dixon family would hold Sariah responsible for Raegan.

At worst, he could pay the maids to take the blame.

The two maids were used to this plan. So when they heard Tessa's order, they didn't hesitate. One of them raised the stick and was going to hit Raegan.

But Raegan kicked the maid's hand and said coldly, "Do you know you can go to jail for intentional assault?"

Raegan knew that the vase and those accusations were nothing more than excuses.

Tessa and these people obviously wanted to frame her.

So no matter what he said, the result would remain the same.

However, he couldn't just give up. She had to protect the baby she was carrying in her womb. So he stared at Sariah with piercing eyes and said, “Mrs. Lloyd, if you think I've done something wrong, shouldn't you inform Mitchel first? I should let him make the decision, right?

Sariah snorted coldly.

He then threw his wooden bracelet at Raegan. It hit Raegan's forehead, causing a large bruise in an instant.

But no one took pity on Raegan. One of the maids even scolded her: “How dare you talk to our lady like that! "You must be courting death."

At this moment, Sariah's face became fierce. He snapped, "Do it now!"

Since it was Sariah who ordered it, the maids obeyed without scruple.

One held Raegan, and the other raised the stick high. It was like they really wanted to cripple Raegan with the stick.

No matter how brave Raegan pretended to be, she couldn't help but panic. He shouted: 'No, you can't touch me! I'm…"

But before Raegan could finish her words, Tessa suddenly yelled, "Seal his mouth!"

Tessa panicked too. They couldn't know that Raegan was pregnant.

Because if they knew, they wouldn't dare hurt Raegan anymore, not wanting to offend the Dixon family.

Even Sariah might change her mind.

After all, the baby in Raegan's womb was the heir to the Dixon family.

The maid followed Tessa's order. She took off her apron and tied it around Raegan's mouth.

Raegan could no longer speak, so she could only struggle hard and moan.

The maid holding the stick raised it again with a fierce look.

Tears ran down Raegan's face, and she closed her eyes in despair.

She felt sorry for her baby.

But he swore he would avenge her and her baby.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard.

Raegan opened her eyes and saw that the door had been kicked open.

Then, a cold voice ordered: "Enough!"

Raegan thought she saw hope. But unfortunately, the maid had no intention of stopping. He lowered his cane decisively.

This maid had already colluded with Tessa. No matter what happened, he had to hit Raegan with the stick.

Raegan had her hands and feet pinned, so she couldn't move to dodge. His teary eyes were filled with fear. She could only watch as the stick got closer and closer to her.

It was too late. It was all too late for her and her baby.

Her baby... Her innocent baby was involved.

Suddenly, the dull sound of the stick falling could be clearly heard.

Raegan was so scared that her whole body was shaking.
