Chapter 448

So many people.

Raine’s heart raced.

Soon, someone came out to greet them. The elders exchanged pleasantries, and no one brought up the dog incident.

Not long after they sat down, Sophia Ford asked if they had heard about what happened at the Spences’.

Rosalind Taylor smiled and said, "There might have been a misunderstanding. Sebastian, he seems like a polite and gentle person. He doesn’t look like someone who would do something bad."

"Well, you can’t say that. People can be unpredictable. Who isn’t capable of putting on a façade? An illustrious family like the Carsons, they wouldn’t pin the blame on someone for no reason. I think it’s not as simple as it looks," said Sophia Ford.

Cherry Foster chimed in, "I don’t know why Henry Spence had to protect that fragrance maker. Couldn’t he just let the Carsons find that person instead of hiding him?"

Sophia Ford said to her daughter, "It’s only a matter of time before he talks. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Collins?"

Rosalind Taylor nodded, smiling. "Sister-in-law makes a good point."

As she spoke, she glanced at the unusually quiet Evelyn Thompson and noticed her tense expression. She then gave Raine a knowing look.

Raine understood. According to the plan, she should apologize to Alexander Foster, but looking around, she couldn’t find him.

She had no choice but to return to her original seat and say something to her mother.

Rosalind Taylor held her hand and told her to sit down and be still.

Soon enough, someone pointed out Raine’s exposed ankle, asking, "What happened to Raine’s ankle?"

Everyone looked at Raine’s ankle and saw the gauze wrapped around it.

She hurriedly pulled her cotton skirt to cover it. "It’s nothing. I was just careless."

While speaking, she secretly glanced at Rosalind Taylor and knew the timing was right. She turned to the seemingly indifferent Evelyn Thompson with an apologetic face and said, "I’m sorry, Aunt Thompson. I lied about Victor, the dog. That day, I was really scared when he chased me, so I stopped a car and left, causing Victor to go missing and get injured. I’m really sorry."

Sophia Ford and the others were stunned.

Tristan Collins wasn’t satisfied with Raine’s words; why was she apologizing when she had been bitten?

Tristan spoke in a deep voice, "She was bitten and scared. It’s common for a playful dog to get lost."

Evelyn Thompson stared at Raine’s ankle, her icy demeanor melting away.

She hadn’t expected that Victor would bite someone.

Alexander had told her that the surveillance footage showed the dog chasing a person, and then the dog ran out of the main gate by itself. By this account, it wasn’t the person’s fault.

However, she found it strange.

Cherry Foster pleaded, "Auntie, Raine didn’t mean to lose Victor. She was bitten, too. Can we please not blame her anymore?"

Uncomfortable, Robert Foster adjusted his glasses and said, "I think you’re all misunderstanding. My mom hasn’t said a word."

Cherry Foster shut up immediately.

Indeed, Evelyn Thompson hadn’t said a word, let alone accuse or blame someone.

William Foster said, "It’s possible that Victor was more aggressive than usual because Raine rarely comes over and Victor was trying to protect the property. He bit you, and it’s our fault."

Upon hearing this, Raine and Rosalind Taylor exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths twitched. "It’s not a big deal, uncle. I was thoughtless in assuming everyone was at home and entered without hesitation. It was an accident, and I can only blame myself."

Sophia Ford praised, "Raine is so understanding."

Evelyn Thompson asked, "It was during school hours that day, so you should have known no one was home. If you were looking for Cain or Chlo-Chlo, you should have gone to the school instead of our house. Why did you come here?"
