CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 408: SINCERITY

The onlookers didn’t help Dora Upton earlier, and naturally, they didn’t help the middle-aged man now either. After all, they were just spectators.

Paige Sterling said calmly, "Did you hear? She said she doesn’t know you. I’ve already called the police."

Upon hearing the police were called, the middle-aged man turned pale and tried to flee through the crowd.

But Paige Sterling kicked him back, making him fall hard to the ground.

He shakily got back on his feet, finally showing malice, "I warn you, don’t block my way, or I’ll kill you!"

With that, he pulled out a knife from his chest.

The crowd, engrossed in the drama, screamed and ran when they saw the man pull out a knife with a ferocious expression. No one came to help.

However, Paige Sterling did not leave and stepped closer to the man.

The middle-aged man threatened as he backed away, "Don’t come any closer, if you do, I’ll stab you to death, do you hear? Don’t come any closer..."

Dora Upton also pulled Paige Sterling, "Don’t go over there, he has a knife."

"What’s the big deal about a knife?" Paige Sterling said, "I have fists."

Is this woman crazy? Can a fist compare to a knife?

But in the next moment, Dora Upton completely understood. It turns out there truly is such a fist in this world that a knife can’t match.

That fist is called—Paige Sterling’s fist.

Dora Upton watched with wide eyes as Paige Sterling confronted the middle-aged man. She didn’t even see how Paige Sterling dodged the man’s knife, but saw him being pressed to the ground single-handedly.

It was like watching the man being treated like a punching bag, and in the end, the middle-aged man couldn’t even cry out anymore.

Even though it wasn’t Dora Upton who was being hit, she couldn’t help but start to shiver.

This woman is really terrifying...

Suddenly, she understood why Simon Hawthorne trusted Paige Sterling to slap Mrs. Hawthorne in the face—to help Mrs. Hawthorne with her illness.

If she intended to really hit Mrs. Hawthorne, how could it just be a swollen cheek?

By the time the police arrived, the man had been beaten to a pulp by Paige Sterling.

The police even felt a bit sorry for the man.

Paige Sterling and Dora Upton also went to the police station for a little while.

Since Paige Sterling provided a set of anti-trafficking tech to the public security system, human traffickers’ business had been very tough.

So, after the man was caught, the driver who tried to flee was also quickly apprehended by the police, and they even managed to round up several gangs of human traffickers.

Consequently, after learning Paige Sterling’s identity, she was quickly released from the police station.

At this moment, Dora Upton’s eyes towards Paige Sterling were no longer filled with resentment but with...

An admiration she herself couldn’t quite understand.

As long as Paige Sterling wasn’t hitting her, she felt she could admire Paige Sterling for a lifetime.

When Paige Sterling saw Dora Upton still following her, she frowned, "Why are you still following me?"

Dora Upton said, "I-I-I’m scared..."

Paige Sterling looked cold and disdainful, "If you’re scared, don’t go out running about."

Paige Sterling thought Dora Upton was going to snap back at her a few times, but she saw Dora Upton blush, her eyes bright, and speak softly, "I’ll listen to you."

Paige Sterling, "・・・Are you alright?"

Could she have been scared silly? How did she suddenly go from a mad cow to a gentle little bunny?

"I’m fine! I really am!" At this moment, Paige Sterling, in Dora Upton’s eyes, seemed like a goddess radiating light, and that light had dazzled her loopy, "Thank you, God Sterling..."

Paige Sterling, "・・・?"

She frowned even deeper, lifted her hand, and touched Dora Upton’s forehead, "Are you really okay?"

Ah ah ah God Sterling’s hand is on her forehead!

Dora Upton was so excited she seemed to have a seizure and was trembling all over, "G-God Sterling, could you move back to The Hawthorne Family? I won’t oppose you anymore; I’ll listen to you; I’ll even try to reconcile the conflict between you and Auntie..."

She looked at Paige Sterling with hope, wishing Paige Sterling would agree, so she could see her often.

Paige Sterling twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking perhaps she’s truly been scared stupid, and ignoring her, she turned and walked away.

Dora Upton, cradling her cheeks, watched Paige Sterling’s back in a daze, "Ah, even God Sterling’s back is devastatingly handsome..."

A hero saving a damsel, even if the hero is a woman, is quite effective.

Now, Dora Upton felt a desire to follow Paige Sterling to the death, realizing it was her own blindness before that made her not notice Paige Sterling’s goodness.

But it doesn’t matter; she’s woken up in time now. From now on, God Sterling is her idol. She is God Sterling’s most loyal diehard fan, and no one is allowed to speak ill of God Sterling in front of her!

Dora Upton returned to The Hawthorne Family.

Mrs. Hawthorne still had a gloomy face and asked Dora Upton, "You followed Paige Sterling; what did she do today?"

Dora Upton, "God Sterling didn’t go anywhere today, just stayed at the company. It was only in the afternoon that she went out. While I was following her, something happened..."

Then she babbled on about her encounter.

Mrs. Hawthorne frowned, sensitively noticing that her niece’s tone and way of addressing Paige Sterling had changed.

So her expression also grew darker and darker, "She didn’t actually save you, she and that villain were in cahoots, she’s trying to confuse you!"

Dora Upton immediately defended, "Auntie, that’s not true, that villain wasn’t in cahoots with her, she really saved me. Auntie, you don’t know how brave she was at the time..."

And she babbled on and concluded, "Auntie, she really is a good person. I treated her so poorly before, and even when I was in danger, she still saved me without holding any grudges. I’m so touched; it’s no wonder so many people like her..."

Mrs. Hawthorne stared slack-jawed at Dora Upton.

This niece, whom she had successfully brainwashed, was on her side against a common enemy, so why was she now speaking up for Paige Sterling?

Didn’t she see how terrible Paige Sterling’s attitude was toward her?

"Have you forgotten how Paige Sterling treated me, her mother-in-law?"

"Auntie, I really think you’ve misunderstood God Sterling. From a mother-in-law’s perspective, the view of God Sterling is different. If you look at God Sterling with an open heart, you’ll surely find that she really is a good person, and by that time you’ll like her too..."

Mrs. Hawthorne, "・・・", Had to resist the urge to smack this niece!

Just then, the TV was broadcasting news stories about Paige Sterling, making Dora Upton swoon, "Ah, now I even think my cousin isn’t quite good enough for my God Sterling. My God Sterling, why are you so perfect..."

Mrs. Hawthorne, "・・・", She’s really going to go crazy!

She is completely isolated and helpless.

Paige Sterling, that bitch! Just like her parents! Damn them!

Mrs. Hawthorne was so angry she screamed several times and her outburst scared Dora Upton as well.

Sigh, indeed, the reason God Sterling treated Auntie that way was to cure Auntie’s illness. She wasn’t trying to hit Auntie; she had good intentions...

She feels so guilty for having misunderstood her before, sigh...

She has to find a way to make it up, to show God Sterling her sincerity.
