Erma slammed the table. “When did you ever speak so coyly? I
told you to say it, so just say it!“Esther then said reluctantly,
“Lottie pushed Rolland down the stairs. He has been hospitalized
for a few days, and the wound on his head has yet to heal.”
Lottie was not in the mood to argue with her. He looked at Erma
and said, “Grandma, this matter has been reported to the police.
The police are still investigating.”
“Don’t try to twist the truth!”
Esther was filled with righteous indignation. As if he was
protecting his son, he said, “When Rolland was injured, you
were the only one there. Who else could it be but you? It’s been
so many days, but you haven’t gone to the hospital to see him. If
you’re not guilty, what are you?”
Lottie did not expect her to be so logical.
Erma’s sharp eyes looked at Lottie. His tone was cold and
solemn. “Lottie, is that what you said?”
“Yes, but I’m not guilty…““Done!”
Erma interrupted her and said coldly, “No matter how unhappy

you are with Esther, the child is innocent. There are many
guests today. Go to the ancestral hall and reflect on yourself for
the night.”
The Mathis familyth Ancestral Hall was dedicated to the
ancestors and also for the family law.
In the corner of the backyard, it was very quiet.
It was cold in winter and hot in summer.
Although it was not like Pollard family’s punishment of making
her kneel on the stone path, she would at least have a high fever
if she stayed in the ancestral hall for a night in this cold
winter.Lottie looked up at Nigel. Seeing that he was indifferent,
his lips twitched.
“Grandmother, although I was the only one there, I did it for-”
Just as she was about to retort, the direction of the stairs
suddenly became exceptionally lively.
When Mathis family people looked for Reputation, Lottie
realized that Lewis had arrived.
No matter where Mr. Pollard went, there was no shortage of
people surrounding him. At this moment, many celebrities
surrounded him and flattered him.
Chapte
He seemed to be in a good mood today. He did not ignore it as
usual and dealt with it casually.It was probably because he had
brought a female companion today.
Suzanne was wearing a well–tailored dress that perfectly
outlined the curves of her waist and hips. She held Lewis’s
elbow and stood beside her.
His girlfriend…
So it was Suzanne.
Gentle and intellectual, it suited him very well.
Lottie calmly looked away and heard Zhou Erma greet him with a smile. “I didn’t expect you to come personally.““I’m not coming. My sister was wronged. Who am I going to reason with?”
Chapter Lewis replied with a smile. It sounded like a joke, but it
also sounded serious.
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Ever since the two of them fell out, this was the first time Lewis
had publicly acknowledged their sibling relationship.
In the past, it was not as if no one had tried to beat around the
bush.

However, Lewis never gave a definite answer.Only Lottie was
looking down at the floor quietly, as if he did not hear anything.
She had long been unable to guess Lewis’s thoughts.
But now, with Mathis family in front and Victor behind, she
was not stupid enough to fall out with him in front of so many
people.
Zhou Erma wanted to give Lottie a look so that she could
smooth things over.
She did not even look at him. He could only glance at Esther.
Esther clenched his fists and said with an embarrassed

expression, “Mr. Pollard, I was just making some subjective
guesses just now. I didn’t mean to wrong Lottie. She’s my sister-
in–law after all.”““Ms. Berry,”
Suzanne smiled faintly. “Since you know that it’s a guess, don’t
say it next time. Otherwise, if Lottie is wronged, Mr. Pollard, as
her brother, will definitely be angry.”
“Suzanne. At the end of the day, we’re all family.”
Nigel said, “Esther was just being careless. Our Mathis family
will definitely not let Lottie suffer.”
“That’s for the best.”
Suzanne represented Lewis. She smiled and delivered the
birthday banquet to Erma. “I wish you good fortune and
longevity.“Thanks a lot.”
Erma smiled and nodded. He looked at Lewis. “It’s rare to see a
girl beside you. Is the good news coming?”
Suzanne’s face turned red. He did not say anything and waited
for Lewis to reply.
Ever since they arrived, Lottie did not even move his eyes.
She felt that she did not fit in here.
Nigel was protecting Esther.The position beside Lewis was now
someone else’s.
She didn’t even know where to look. No matter how she looked
at it, she was the extra person.
