Chapter 62 - Psychological Shadow

Inside the room, Emily moved her clear eyes slightly.

"Psychological shadow? A retard like her has a psychological shadow?" Elsie laughed loudly as if she had heard something interesting. But her smile was awful, "A retard could have a psychological shadow?"

Susan was worried that she would say something wrong, so she added, "Miss Elsie, don't be angry. I apologize to you if Miss Emily did something wrong."

"Who are you? Who are you to apologize to me? Get lost!" Elsie felt impatient and pushed her away.

The sound of a heavy object landing on the ground came out.

After putting on an innocent face, Emily opened the door and rushed out, "Elsie ... Don't...!" She cried out in horror but didn't retreat.

Elsie laughed sinisterly and rushed over, "Retard, you're finally here! I'm going to kill you!"

At the same time, the sound of a car came from the door, but it was covered by Elsie's roar. Only a few people could hear it.

Getting up from the ground, Susan pulled Elsie and shouted at Emily who was on the ground, "Miss Emily, run! Go inside and lock the door!"

Hearing her words, Elsie was furious, "Well, you teach her how to avoid me in front of me? You still help her?"

As she spoke, she turned around and slapped Susan's face.

This voice was different from the one who heard through the door. It was so loud that it seemed that Elsie was slapping Emily's eardrums.

Susan's mouth was bleeding and her hair was in a mess. Her face was swollen. Therefore, it was difficult for her to speak. However, she even pulled Emily up and tried to make a sound to comfort her, "Miss Emily, don't be afraid. Go hide in the room. It will be fine when Mr. Maury comes back. Good girl."

Emily put the eye drops in her eyes to pretend to cry before she came out. When she heard this, she cried with her mouth open. And she watched Elsie kick Susan to the ground.

"Emily, if someone bullies you, you have to pretend to be weak. Although you are weak, acting weaker will lower the guard of the other party. When a person leaves his guard, it will be the perfect time for you to retaliate."

Elsie grabbed Emily's hair and dragged her into the room. Then, she took out a few different colored lipsticks that she had just taken from her room and began to apply them on Emily's face. She deliberately had scribbles on Emily's face.

Emily pretended to struggle.

Holding Emily's face, Elsie looked in the mirror and mockingly asked her, "Does it look good?"

When a person left his guard, it would be the perfect time for you to retaliate.

Emily, who had lipsticks on her face, struggled to grab a tool knife on the table and stabbed it to Elsie's palm.

Elsie screamed, holding her palm in pain. Tears flew over her face. And she was contorted with pain, "Retard, you're dead!"

Emily hid under the table with her hands covering her head. Her body trembled and she cried out, "Don't hit me. Don't hit me. Don't hit me ... I will be a good girl. I will be a good girl, okay? Please don't hit me ... Elsie, I was wrong ... I won't upset you again ... I was wrong...."

Elsie was both painful and angry. She glanced at a lamp on the table. Then she picked it up and threw it under the table. The lamp broke, but it didn't hurt Emily at all. Elsie picked up the tool knife on the ground and was about to stab it to Emily's arm. Then she was stopped by an arm. She pushed the person away angrily, "Get lost! I'm going to kill her!"

When Elsie turned around, she was shocked.

Maury who was dressed in a suit, stood beside her like a ghost that suddenly appeared in a horror movie. Elsie was so scared that her face turned deathly pale, and she even forgot to shout for the pain in her palm.

"Dad ... I ... you.... when did you come back?" When Elsie asked, she saw the Britts standing at the door, including Eliot, who had rushed over, and Beverly, who had just ran from the next door and forgot to take off her mask.

It was a deathly silence.

Maury slapped Elsie on the face. His strength was so strong that he slapped her on the ground.

Elsie's ears were in buzz and her mouth was bleeding. She looked at Beverly with her eyes open and shouted, "Dad, look at me. She stabbed me with a knife. Look at my hand! Look at my hand! Mom! Explain to Dad!"

Eliot strode over and grabbed Elsie by the neck with one hand. He looked at Maury with scarlet eyes and said, "Dad, leave it to me."

Maury resisted the urge to kill Elsie. Both of them were Maury's heart, but the one he loved the most had suffered such a misfortune. What could he do to save this innocent child from it?

Elsie's ears were in buzz and her throat was gripped by a large palm. Her voice was hoarse and terrible, "Mom! Help me! Eliot wants to kill me! He said that he wants to kill me...."

Beverly, who was relieved before, felt nervous again.

Eliot carried Elsie out and Beverly followed. There was a bloody mark on the ground. It was blood flowing from Elsie's palm, but no one cared about it now.

Emily's soft sobbing voice came from under the table, "Don't hit me.... I'll be a good girl.... Really.... Elsie ... I was wrong ... I was wrong...."

Her voice trembled with fear and dread and her weak body shook as well. Seeing that, servants in the house couldn't help but become tearful.

Harold stayed downstairs as planned, but Beverly sent him away as soon as she entered and told him to go to the warehouse to clean up. It was not until Maury returned that he rushed upstairs. Even though Harold knew that this had been planned long ago, when he came in and saw this scene, his hands hanging on both sides were tightly clenched into fists.

Previously, he didn't know why Miss Emily had returned to normal but didn't tell her family. However, seeing that, he suddenly understood that when Miss Emily was a retard, she must have suffered from it every day.

She must be painful every day, right?

With so much pain in her heart, she still always gave him sugar....

Harold turned around and walked out.

Maury touched Emily, "Emily, I am dad."

"I'll be good.... Mom.... I'll be a good girl. Don't leave me alone...." Emily recoiled. She looked down and covered her head with both hands, "Mom ... Don't leave me ... I'm a good girl ... I won't cry...."

Maury tilted his head to wipe away the tears on his face and said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault. I apologize to you.... Emily, come here. I am back. Don't be afraid, I am back."

Emily didn't come out. But Maury couldn't forcefully pull her out, so he could only squeeze his heavy body under the small study desk and touch Emily's hand, "Emily, I am dad. Dad is back."

Emily's ice cold hands trembled violently.
