In the three years when Scarlett and Raymond were married, Tiffany and her friends had played many tricks on Scarlett as Jessie did.
Scarlett was used to such things. Thus, as she was Jessie walking to the pond, Scarlett knew what Jessie wanted to do.
When Jessie reached over, Scarlett quickly dragged her hand away. To satisfy Jessie, Scarlett even "thoughtfully" pushed her.
Jessie fell into the pond with a plump.
The frightened silver carp hid under the rock.
The water in the pond was just about a meter deep. Jessie could swim. She stood up after a while with a scream.

Jessie didn't expect Scarlett to push her into the water. Jessie almost choked in the water. Although the water inside the pond was changed every day by cleaners, there were so many fish in it. The water in her mouth was dirty.
The fishy taste made Jessie mad. She was furious. "How dare you push me!" Larry came through the gate. He glanced at Scarlett. Seeing that she was fine, he then looked at Jessie. "It's not the first time you've come here. How could you fall into the pond?" Jessie was stunned for a moment. Before she could say that Scarlett pushed her, Larry told Scarlett, "Go in.
There are many mosquitoes here." Scarlett took a look at Jessie in the pond. smiling and nodding. "Okay." After that, Scarlett turned to leave.
Jessie stood in the water. Her dress was wet. She was too embarrassed to climb out of the pond.
Looking at Scarlett's back, Jessie was going crazy. "Larry! Scarlett pushed me into the pond!" Larry glanced at her. "You're not a little girl. Why are you still so childish?" The summer night outside was hot and muggy. Jessie didn't feel cold when she just fell into the water, but Larry's eyes sent a chill down her spine.
Jessie stiffened, not daring to accuse Scarlett anymore.
After standing for a while, a bold fish swam to her side. Jessie felt a bit nauseous. She stretched out her hand, wanting Larry to pull her up. "Help me. | can't climb out." Larry frowned. "I'll ask someone to get you a towel." He turned into the villa.
Jessie stood there in a daze.
Scarlett had just walked up to the second floor when Viviana came up to her. "Are you okay?" Viviana knew well about Jessie. In the past, Jessie kept her company. Viviana wanted a daughter, so she turned a blind eye to what Jessie did.
Yet now Jessie wanted to scheme against Scarlett, Viviana knew what to do even if Rowan didn't say anything about that.
Scarlett smilingly nodded. "Yes, auntie." Scarlett paused. "But then she may be in trouble." Larry came over and gave Scarlett a look." Just ignore her next time." Jessie could only play her clumsy tricks on others. It was stupid of her to try to fool the Tank family.
However, it was hard to get rid of a nuisance. Jessie was just playing a little trick now. If she was going to harm Scarlett next time, and Scarlett was unprepared, Jessie might get her way.
Scarlett was awkward. "I see." Larry nodded in satisfaction and asked the maid to bring a towel for Jessie.

Rowan had gone back to his room to wash up. Scarlett also returned to her room, leaving Viviana and Larry in the living room.
Jessie cried in front of Viviana after changing clothes.
Viviana took a sip of water before smiling at Jessie. "Viviana, you've always come to see me these years. Your mother should be jealous, right? I'm aged. | don’t like to go shopping anymore, but you're young. You'd better play with your friends. Rowan wants our house to be quiet, so if there's nothing important, you don’t need to come over again." Jessie had wanted to complain about Scarlett. She was stunned, thinking that Scarlett must have said something to Viviana. Jessie wanted to explain.
However, she was silenced by Larry’s gaze.
Jessie glanced at her again. "Well, it’s late. I'll ask the driver to send you back." Jessie was so depressed. Even if she was silly, she knew what Viviana meant.
Jessie was confused. With Larry around, Jessie didn't dare to cry. When she left, she sobbed.
Jessie said, "I'm going back then, aunt." Viviana replied evenly, "Okay." Jessie changed clothes and came out of the room. She was leaving, but Viviana didn’t say anything to comfort Jessie, who had just fallen into the pond.
