The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 58

Chapter 58:

Georgia had always been a favored servant under Shelia's care, rarely facing real difficulties. Now, covered in manure, she trembled with disgust, voicing her complaints about the nauseating stench.

Shelia watched her coldly, her expression hardening as she saw the scruffy state of Georgia marring an otherwise surrounding environment. immaculate. Alicia's half-smile only increased Shelia's irritation, and she silently cursed Alicia's manipulative ways.

Standing up, Georgia headed to the living room to clean up. Alicia, feigning surprise, asked: Georgia, where are you going?

To shower, of course. Georgia replied.

Your room isn't across the living room. Alicia reminded him, pretending to be helpful. And Mrs. Yates is there. You won't bring the smell with you, he added, making Georgia stop and look at Shelia. Shelia's displeasure was palpable from a distance.

Shelia's annoyance was evident, a mix of disdain and frustration over Georgia's mishap. Georgia had failed to teach Alice a lesson and had instead fallen flat on her face.

Alice subtly suggested: Why don't you wash in the fountain. It might lessen the stench a little.

< p>Seeing the logic of Alicia's suggestion, Georgia headed towards the fountain without thinking further. Alicia followed her, offering: Let me help you.

You should help. This disaster is your doing. Then you will help me clean. replied Georgia, used to giving orders to Alice.

Alice nodded without protest.

When Georgia began to wash, the dirt repelled the fish in the pond, and they swam away. The tension was palpable, but the calm was short-lived when Georgia confronted Alicia.

You called me on purpose, right.

Alicia blinked, her face an innocent mask. Georgia, how can you say that?

Georgia, unfazed and visibly upset, replied: You claim you were picking flowers. That's a flimsy excuse. You set up a fall near two piles of dog excrement to lure me there, no.

Alicia pretended to be hurt. You know we're not friends, Georgia. When I hurt my ankle, I never called you. You came without being asked. Do you remember?

You... Georgia hesitated, struggling for words, before bursting out: Why did you move when I pushed you?

If you had stayed still, I wouldn't have ended up on the ground. !. Georgia's voice was tinged with anger. Alicia opened her eyes in disbelief.

Seriously, Georgia You pushed me. Why would I just stand there? You think I'm stupid. Alicia responded, leaving Georgia speechless once again.

She was surprised by Alicia's defiance. After the divorce, Alicia had become increasingly bold. In the past, no matter how harshly he treated her, Alicia had always remained silent.

When Georgia's face turned red with anger, Alicia gave her a sly smile. Relax, Georgia. It's just some dog dirt. Luckily, it didn't get into your mouth.

Alicia pointed towards the pond. Let's get you cleaned up.

The moment Alicia's hand touched the water, she gasped. Before Georgia could react, Alicia grabbed her arm and threw her into the pond.

At almost forty years old, Georgia's lack of agility and her inability to swim caused her to panic. She thrashed around in the water, struggling to stay afloat.

Alicia, feigning concern, shouted: You're okay, Georgia. You can manage

Although she seemed worried, Alicia stood with her arms crossed, watching with cold indifference as Georgia staggered.

It wasn't until Shelia and a few others arrived that they managed to pull Georgia out of the water.

Terrified, Georgia ran towards the shore, still screaming for help. Help, Mrs. Yates, help!

Shelia sharply reprimanded her: Stop being so crybaby!

Stunned by Shelia's harsh response, Georgia regained her composure and dried herself off. his face and shuddered. Mrs. Yates, I don't know how to swim! I almost drowned.

Shelia looked at her coldly. That little pond almost drowned you. Why didn't you stay there?

Georgia, still in a panic, insisted: Mr. Yates, I'm serious!

Georgia pointed towards the pond. , about to express her complaint, but stopped when she saw that Alicia was standing calmly in the water, which barely reached her knees.

Georgia was left speechless.

Someone giggled from back.

Shelia turned around, her fury increasing. It's funny

And then Shelia stopped dead. Standing a short distance away, Caden had been watching the entire spectacle, amused by the scene.

Shelia quickly softened as she recognized him. Oh, it's you, Caden. I mistook you for a servant and spoke too harshly. Please don't take this personally.

Caden, uninterested in her apology, turned his attention back to Alicia. She had just come out of the pond.

Her gaze was intense, a subtle smile played on her lips. Feeling his gaze, Alicia looked down and realized that her wet dress was clinging to her figure. Clumsily, she tried to adjust the hem of her dress.

Although the fabric was not transparent, after a few shakes, the dress loosened slightly and stuck to her body again. Dark clouds were hovering over Alice and the strong wind made her shiver and sneeze, but no one seemed to notice her discomfort.

Georgia, still upset, lamented: I don't understand what I did to upset the lady. Bennett. I asked her for help and she pushed me into the pond and made fun of me. Mrs. Yates, you have to defend me.

Shelia motioned to him. That's enough. You know what Alice is like. Why bother? You're so much older than her.

Alicia, realizing that Shelia was indirectly validating Georgia's words, spoke softly: Mrs. Yates, I was just trying to help. I didn't push Georgia.

Georgia, furious at Alicia's feigned innocence, glared at her. You're lying! You don't care about karma.

As he finished speaking, the sky suddenly split with a flash of lightning, quickly followed by thunderous applause.
