Chapter 478:

In the hall, the air was plunged into stony silence.

The butler Zhao looked blankly at Rorey, who was complacent.

After a long moment, he asked, “What do you want?”.

Rorey smiled, “Take the money I gave you and show it to your daughter-in-law.

I’m sure her attitude toward you will be completely different.

“I can’t believe you are so kind.”

The butler Zhao knew all about Jennie and Rorey.

Rorey must have planned to give her money.

“I’m not nice.”

Rorey admitted frankly, and then told him his intentions, “When the police come to take your statement, I want you to tell the police that you fell down the stairs carelessly, and it had nothing to do with my mother.”

Hearing his words, butler Zhao seemed to know his purpose and was not surprised.

Butler Zhao took the check from the bedside table.

Looking at the amount, he smiled and said, “Miss Gu, do you want to spend 500,000 yuan to help your mother escape legal punishment? That’s too little, isn’t it?”

“This is only half of the money. If you do as I said, I will give you another 500,000 yuan. I think one million yuan is a big fortune for an ordinary family.”

Butler Zhao knew that as long as he kept the check and did as she said, his son and daughter-in-law could live a better life.

But if he had to silence his conscience and protect the sinister people, he would die a sorry death.

“What are you doing!”

Rorey suddenly cried out in alarm.

She watched in disbelief as butler Zhao tore the check into pieces and threw the scraps of paper into the wastebasket next to the bed.

“Miss Gu, please come back. I need to rest.”

As she spoke, butler Zhao slowly lay down, pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes.

He didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

Seeing herself rejected, Rorey’s whole body trembled with rage.

She glared hatefully at the people on the bed and said through gritted teeth, “I hope you don’t regret it!”

After saying that, he angrily turned around and left.

Butler Zhao slowly opened his eyes when he heard the door had been forcibly closed.

He stared at the snow-white ceiling and an idea occurred to him. It seemed that he had to tell Miss Sara about this matter.

After Juliet had breakfast at Payton’s, she asked him to send her home.

The car was parked on the road in front of Elton Villa. Juliet took off her seatbelt and pushed the door to get out of the car.

Suddenly, she stopped. She seemed to have thought of something.

She turned to look at Payton and smiled, “My dad’s home today, do you want to come in and say hello?”

Payton was surprised, then shook her head, “No, I’ll visit him another day.”

Juliet raised her eyebrows and asked shyly, “You don’t dare see my father?”

“No,” Payton quickly denied.

“It’s just that it seems a little abrupt for me to visit your father now. And I don’t have any gifts for him. Now is not a good time.”

“Is that so?” Juliet looked at him doubtfully, “Payton, if you’re afraid, admit it. You don’t need to look for an excuse like that.”

Was she encouraging him?

Juliet seemed to have read his mind.

Payton couldn’t help but laugh. She repeated, “Juliet, I’m not afraid of your father. I’m really not afraid.”

After getting the answer she wanted, Juliet smiled slyly and said, “Since you’re not afraid, come with me to meet my parents.”

“No.” Payton looked embarrassed.

It really seemed rude of him to visit her parents empty-handed, and his upbringing would not allow it.

Juliet knew his concerns. She told him, “If you’re embarrassed to come in without a gift, you can rest easy. My father doesn’t care if you have a gift or not. He only cares if you are sincere.”

“Hurry up and get out of the car” Juliet urged him to get out of the car first.

Payton wanted very much to step straight on the accelerator and drive off, but he knew how serious the consequences would be if he did.

Therefore, he had to get out of the car.

“That’s the spirit” Juliet reached over and stroked his face. Then she took him by the arm and said with a smile, “Shall we go see your future father-in-law?”

Future father-in-law?

Payton raised his eyebrows slightly.

That title wasn’t bad.

Ebenezer was angry that his precious daughter hadn’t come home the night before.

He kept blaming Mrs. Elton for not teaching Juliet well. Juliet seemed to have lost her way and didn’t come home as soon as she fell in love.

Miss Elton felt both helpless and amused.

She knew her husband was worried about Juliet, so she let him unburden himself to her.

When Miss Elton saw Juliet and Payton enter, she couldn’t help but laugh. She deliberately raised her voice and said, “Juliet, welcome.”

Ebenezer had his back to the door.

Hearing this, he immediately turned around. Seeing Juliet and Payton, he frowned and turned away in disgust.

Mrs. Elton was amused and motioned Payton and Juliet to sit down.

Juliet sat next to her mother, while Payton sat across from Ebenezer.

It was clear that this was not the first time Payton had seen Juliet’s parents, but he was inexplicably nervous.

Especially when he saw Payton’s somber face, he became even more nervous.

“Why didn’t you come home last night?”

Mrs. Elton pretended to be angry and glared at Juliet. “You don’t even know how worried your father and I are.”

Juliet wrapped her arms around Miss Elton’s arm and rested her head intimately on Miss Elton’s shoulder.

She whispered, “I’ve grown up – why are you still worried about this?”

Miss Elton grabbed Juliet by the hand and said softly, “As old as you are, you are still a child in the eyes of your father and me. Of course, we will be concerned. So hurry up and admit your mistake to your father.”

Juliet looked at Miss Elton.

She saw Mistress Elton wink at her. Juliet understood immediately.

Then she got up and sat down next to Ebenezer.

“Papa!”

Juliet cautiously shouted, her gaze also carefully scanning Ebenezer’s angry face.

Ebenezer pursed his lips tightly and kept silent.

“Papa…”

Juliet gently grabbed Payton’s arm and shook it.

She said in a childish tone, “Don’t be angry. I’m back safe and sound. Don’t be angry with me. In the future, I’ll let you know in advance if I don’t come back.”

In the future?

Ebenezer looked at her with wide eyes.

He was obviously not satisfied with her words.

Juliet pretended not to meet his gaze.

She went back to Mrs. Elton’s side to sit down and said, “Papa, Mama, Payton seldom comes to see you. Don’t be angry with me just now.”

“I’m not angry.”

Mrs. Elton looked at Juliet, then turned to Payton with a smile.

“Payton, I hope Juliet hasn’t caused you any trouble.”

Payton smiled and shook her head, “No, she didn’t.”

“Was Juliet with you last night?”

Miss Elton asked.

“Yes.”

“That explains everything” Mrs. Elton nodded her head, and then said something that surprised everyone present.

“Be careful. Don’t get pregnant before you get married.”
