My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 170 A Fake Fall

"Amy, you are my sweetie. Come and kiss me." Richard cupped Amy's face with his hands, but Amy had a painful look. He just happened to touch her where she was hurt. Amy gasped.

"What's the matter?" At this time, Richard discovered that Amy's face was a little swollen. He was focused on the negotiation. Besides, Amy covered her face with her hair, so he didn't see it.

"It's fine." Amy said that she was fine, but tears from grievance flowed down her cheeks.

"How could it be fine? Look at the fingerprints. Who slapped you?" Richard's face darkened.

His wife was slapped, and he immediately burst into anger.

"I told you I'm fine. Let's go. I'm so tired. I need to rest." Amy didn't want to say anything. She wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened at the Carter's at this time.

"Amy, what happened to your face?" Hilary came to pack her things and saw that Amy was wiping her tears the moment she entered the room. Then, she saw a red mark on Amy's face.

"Richard, you slapped Amy? Why? Why did you do this?" Hilary pulled Richard and blamed him badly. She thought Richard did this.

"It wasn't Richard. Hilary, let it go." Amy pulled Hilary.

It wasn't Richard? Then who did it? Hilary looked at Amy's face with distress. This mark was so big, so red, and it shouldn't be from a woman.

"Was it dad?" Hilary suddenly thought of the men in the house. At this time, the only man left in the house was her father. Her three brothers had gone to work.

"It's dad? Why did he slap you?" Richard pulled Amy and was about to confront Halbert. It scared Amy so much that she stopped him at once.

"It's because of the news recently. I don't know who took the pictures and made the headlines. Dad was angry when he read it. He asked me to explain. I was busy picking up Ms. Rose and I was about to leave. Grandma didn't let me go. I don't know what happened, but she fell to the ground. Dad slapped me then." Amy told Richard what had happened at home this morning.

"It's Grandma again. Nothing will be good as long as she is around. It must be a fake fall, and she blamed your for this, right?" Hilary did not have a good impression of her grandmother.

"No matter what, my wife can't be bullied by them. Let's go, I will definitely help you." Richard couldn't calm down after hearing Amy's words. Amy was his wife and he would always defend her no matter what. "That's right. You must go back. Amy, don't be afraid. Richard and I will help you." Hilary was also quite pissed off. What was wrong with her family? Were they crazy?

"What? Did she complain to you?" Halbert was drinking tea and chatting with Grandma Eva in the living room. Seeing that Richard returned aggressively, he looked up and glared at Amy.

Amy was not afraid of him and staring at him directly.

"Dad, why did you slap Amy?" Richard walked to Halbert and questioned him.

"Why did I slap her? Ask her. She hit your grandma! Don't you think I should teach her a lesson?" Halbert also stood up. They were both tall and now were confronting each other. People beside them were pressured.

"Grandma, did Amy hit you?" Hilary sat beside Grandma Eva and held her arm.

"Well, she knows what she has done." Grandma Eva was speaking vaguely since Amy didn't hit her.

"Oh, we must replace the truth and everything in detail. Amy, did you hit my grandmother? I have to avenge her. Richard, show me the surveillance footage in the living room and let me see how Amy hit my grandmother." Hilary seemed to want to revenge for Grandma Eva.

However, her words reminded Richard. Hilary was really smart at the critical moment. She reminded him that there were surveillance cameras, so everything was recorded.

"Hilary, what's wrong with you? Is Amy so good to you that you want to help her against your grandma? Speaking of this, Dad, we can check the surveillance footage to see how Amy hit Grandma." Richard pretended to scold Hilary, but his eyes were filled with praise.

"Go ahead. Let the evidence speak." Halbert wasn't afraid. He saw that Amy and Grandma Eva had an argument this morning. However, Grandma Eva felt guilty. She fell by herself. If the footage was checked, it would be obvious that she faked a fall.

"Forget it. Why bother? We are family. It doesn't matter and I didn't hurt either." Grandma Eva hurriedly found an excuse.

"Grandma, no. Look at Amy. She is so arrogant. We must convince her. She made the mistake and should bear the consequence." Hilary didn't give in and made it very difficult for Grandma Eva. "Dad, do it so that you can warn others that framing won't work here since we have surveillance cameras in this house." Richard refused to compromise.

"Alright, let's do it!" Halbert was provoked. He wanted to convince Amy that it was right for him to slap her.

It was useless for Grandma Eva to stop them. Halbert and Richard had turned on the TV and connected the monitoring system.

Everything that happened in the morning was revealed in front of everyone. First, Halbert threw the newspaper at Amy's feet, and then, Grandma Eva went to pull Amy to prevent her from leaving. The sound was recorded in the footage, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Amy just wanted to pull her arm out, but Grandma Eva glanced at Amy, and when Halbert didn't pay attention, she fell on her own. Then, Halbert slapped Amy in the face.

The truth was seen by everyone. Halbert glanced at Grandma Eva who lowered her head.

"Perhaps my legs went weak." Grandma Eva was still arguing, but her expression in the footage showed that she was trying to frame Amy.

Halbert also looked very nervous, but since he had slapped Amy, they wouldn't let Amy slap back, right? He didn't say anything anymore.

"We can't let this go. You are Amy's grandmother and dad. You can't bully her by taking advantage of this. I'll leave this matter to Amy. In the future, don't make trouble at home. Grandfather has always wanted everyone to live in harmony, not against each other." When Richard said those words, he even glanced at Addy. Although she didn't say anything, but in Richard's opinion, she was not easy to deal with.
