The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1087:

Worn out from the struggle, Gracie began to sob the moment she spotted Ethan, wanting to collapse into his arms for comfort.

Ethan quickly avoided her, choosing to move behind Brenna instead.

Gracie felt her distress deepen as her head dipped halfway beneath the water. Waldo reacted fast, catching her around the waist and pulling her upright. “What happened?” he asked, feeling sympathetic toward Gracie.

Gracie gasped, holding onto Waldo for support as she tried to calm herself. Once her breath was steady, she shot Brenna a furious look. “She tried to drown me!”

Ethan took note of their distance from shore. “Let’s talk about this once we’re on land,” he suggested.

As soon as they stepped onto solid ground, Gracie’s tears flowed freely. She jabbed her finger at Brenna, her voice shaking with rage. “I got a leg cramp and started sinking. She saw me but didn’t help. Instead, she pushed me under. She wanted to drown me to death!”
