Chapter 58:

Georgia had always been a favored servant under Shelia's care, rarely facing any real hardships. Now, covered in
manure, she trembled in disgust, voicing her complaints about the nauseating stench.
Shelia regarded her coldly, her expression hardening as she saw the scruffy state of Georgia marring an
otherwise immaculate setting. Alicia's half-smile only increased Shelia's irritation, and she silently cursed Alicia's
manipulative ways.
Standing up, Georgia headed into the living room to clean up. Alicia, feeling surprised, asked, “Georgia, where
are you going?”
“To take a shower, of course,” Georgia replied.
“Isn't your room just past the living room?” Alicia reminded her, pretending to be helpful. “And Mrs. Yates is
there. Aren't you bringing the smell with you?” she added, causing Georgia to stop and look at Shelia. Shelia's
displeasure was palpable from a distance.
Shelia's annoyance was evident, a mixture of disdain and frustration at Georgia's mishap. Georgia had failed to
teach Alicia a lesson and had instead fallen flat on her face.
Alice subtly suggested, "Why don't you wash yourself in the fountain? It might lessen the stench a little."
Seeing the logic in Alice's suggestion, Georgia headed toward the fountain without further thought. Alice
followed her, offering, "Lethelp you."
“You should help. This mess is your doing. Then you can helpclean up,” Georgia replied, used to giving Alice
orders.
Alice without protest.
As Georgia began to wash, the fish in the pond were repelled by the filth, and swam away. The tension was
palpable, but the calm was short-lived when Georgia confronted Alicia.
"You calledon purpose, didn't you?"
Alice blinked, her face a mask of innocence. “Georgia, how can you say that?”
Georgia, unfazed and visibly upset, retorts: “You claim you were picking flowers? That's a flimsy excuse. You

Alicia acted hurt. “You know we're not friends, Georgia. When | hurt my ankle, | never called you. You came
withoutasking you. Remember?”
“You...” Georgia faltered, struggling for words, before bursting out, “Why did you move when | pushed you?”
“If you had just stayed still, | wouldn't have ended up on the floor!” Georgia's voice was tinged with anger.
Alicia's eyes widened in disbelief.
“Seriously, Georgia? You pushed me. Why would | just stand there? Do you think I'm stupid?” Alicia replied,
leaving Georgia speechless once again.
She was surprised by Alicia's defiance. After the divorce, Alicia had becincreasingly bold. In the past, no
matter how harshly she 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 a bit of dog dirt.
Luckily, it didn't get in your mouth."
Alice pointed towards the pond. “Let's get you cleaned up.”
The moment Alicia's hand touched the water, she spent. Before Georgia could react, Alicia grabbed her arm and
threw her into the pond.
At nearly 40, Georgia's lack of agility and inability to swim sent her into a panic. She thrashed around in the
water, struggling to stay afloat.
Alice, feigning concern, called out, "Are you all right, Georgia? Can you manage?"
Although she looked worried, Alice stood with her arms crossed, watching with cold indifference as Georgia
staggered away.
It wasn't until Shelia and a few others arrived that they managed to pull Georgia out of the water.
Terrified, Georgia ran to shore, still screaming for help. “Help, Mrs. Yates, help!”
Shelia snapped at her: “Stop being such a whiner!”
Stunned by Shelia's harsh response, Georgia regained her composure, wiped her face and shivered. “Mrs. Yates, |
can't swim! “I almost drowned.”
Shelia looked at her coldly. “That little pond almost drowned you? Why didn’t you just stay there?”
Georgia, still in a panic, insisted, “Mr. Yates, I'm serious!”
Georgia pointed towards the pond, about to voice her complaint, but stopped when she saw Alice standing
calmly in the water, which barely reached her knees.
Georgia was speechless.
Someone chuckled from behind.
Shelia turned around, her anger rising. “Is this funny?”
And then Shelia stopped dead in her tracks. Standing a short distance away, Caden had been watching the
whole spectacle, amused by the scene.
Shelia quickly softened upon recognizing him. “Oh, it's you, Caden. | mistook you for a servant and spoke too
harshly. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Caden, uninterested in her apologies, turned his attention back to Alice. She had just climbed out of the pond.
His gaze was intense, a subtle smile
playing on his lips. Feeling her gaze.

Shelia waved at him. “That's enough. You know what Alicia is like. Why bother? You're much older than her.”
Alicia, realizing that Shelia was indirectly validating Georgia's words, spoke softly, "Mrs. Yates, | was just trying to
help. | didn't push Georgia."
Georgia, furious at Alicia's feigned innocence, glared at her. "You're lying! Don't you care about karma?"
As he finished speaking, the sky suddenly split open with a flash of lightning, followed quickly by thunderous
applause.
