Chapter 170 A Chance To Replace Viola
Bernard was away.
Hearing that, Viola could not think clearly. She stammered, "F Family heirloom?'
"He stole the seven colored glaze cup that was passed down from my family generation after generation?" Pointing at Bernard, Jennifer looked at him in disbelief.
Earl Lan's eyelids twitched. He slapped the table heavily with a blush on his face and said, "Yes, he is the thief who is famous in the world and a thief who stole expensive jewelry!"
Viola almost fainted too.
Bernard shook his head and shrugged.
"Are you the kind of the mysterious aristocrat who was robbed of the mysterious heirloom three years ago by a honey trap?" said Viola after she thought carefully about what had happened three years ago It was truly a sensation!
If it hadn't happened in X Country, her chief editor would have asked her to dig hard materials for her
Realizing something, the old man did not say anything all of a sudden.
"It's him." Said Jennifer with a smile.
Keeping a distance from them silently, Viola shouted towards the second floor, "Mr. Chu, bad news!"
When the door of the study was opened, Maynard walked downstairs. After taking a glance at the members of the living room, he asked in an indifferent voice, "What's the matter?"
Taking a stealthy glance at Bernard, who was a dangerous member, Viola pulled Maynard aside and said in a voice of only two people, "Bernard is a thief. Check the villa quickly to see if there is anything missing."
Maynard giggled but didn't say a word. He raised his hand and rubbed her fluffy hair. Then he went into the kitchen to take out a plate of walnuts, which were chopped into pieces, into the plate. The corners of Viola's mouth twitched.
"Come and eat a walnut." Maynard helped her sit down and fed her as if no one else was around.
A chill went down her spine. Viola thought his brain was out of shape.
Seeing that the two of them were showing off their love, the blue veins on Earl Lan's forehead stood out. He pointed his finger at his daughter. "You say, how can you be together with the enemy who has stolen our family treasure!"
He roared out the last sentence with all his strength.
Viola's hand, which was holding the walnut, shook and the walnut fell to the ground.
"Why not?" Jennifer straightened up and looked at him with a glimpse of hesitation. But soon, she calmed herself down and said, "When he dressed like a woman and you wanted to marry him, but now I do what you haven't done. It's absolutely fine with me!"
Earl Lan felt as if he had been slapped. His face was burning. Then he changed the topic stiffly, "Bernard, give me the heirloom!"
All of a sudden, Viola's eyes lit up. She stared at Bernard and asked, "I'm also curious where it is now."
Sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, Bernard rubbed his chin with his left hand and sank into deep thought. "Okay, I'll sell it."
Hearing his words, Earl Lan staggered back and forth. Luckily, Jennifer reacted quickly and held him from falling.
Viola fixed her eyes on Bernard and asked, "How much did you sell?"
"About six hundred millions." Bernard raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that a lot of bright red bills were felling on the table in front of them. Viola immediately grabbed his sleeve, winked at him playfully and asked, "Do you still need an apprentice?" Bernard smiled.
"Stop it, Reporter Qi." Seeing that, Maynard squinted his eyes, which looked dangerous. In a cold voice, he said, "Last time, it was him who stole a necklace of others and placed it on you."
The smile on Viola's face immediately disappeared without a trace. She suddenly grabbed Bernard's collar and said, "It turned out that you made me a thief last time!"
"I'd rather be your friend," The smile on Bernard's face didn't vanish but spread to his whole face.
Suddenly, Viola understood what was in Earl Lan's mind. She wanted to kill him!
In a daze, she withdrew her hand, walked back to Maynard and sat down by his side. She pulled up his sleeve and wiped off the tears that didn't even exist. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she asked "I'm afraid you can't accept it." With an expressionless face, Maynard stroked her hair gently.
Hearing what he said, Viola stopped her action for a while. Then she tried hard to refrain from rolling her eyes. "Do you think if you tell me now, I will accept it?"
She looked desperate.
"My dear daughter, listen to me. This kind of man who uses foul means must be very mean. You'd better break up with him."
Earl Lan took hold of Jennifer's hands.
Viola nodded.
"I want to say this right now. I have nothing to do with Jennifer." Bernard explained seriously.
The light in Earl Lan's eyes gave hope.
Jennifer covered her mouth with her hand and sobbed sadly. Her shoulder trembled as she said, "How, how could you say that?"
All the people present were shocked.
"Tell me the truth." Bernard said calmly, throwing up his hands.
All of a sudden, Jennifer choked and pinched her thigh, leaving no trace. A sharp pain brought tears to her eyes.
She accused him with tears in her eyes, "Have you changed your mind? Viola, you can prove that we are lovers, right?"
All of a sudden, she turned to look at Viola for help.
At first, Viola wanted to shake her head, but she nodded her head when she remembered that she had been set up by Bernard.
"Fuck!" Bernard stroked his forehead helplessly.
Hearing that, Earl Lan took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his daughter's face. Seeing how sad and distressed his daughter was, he asked, "Tell me. What is your relationship now?"
"...... My heart and soul are all of his. I don't regret it." Jennifer's shoulders stiffened for two seconds, and then she started to talk nonsense seriously.
The handkerchief of Earl Lan dropped from the table.
"You! You! "With a disappointed look on his face, he slumped into the sofa and stroked his chest, which was about to burst into fury. "Mr. Chu, may I stay here?"
He must find a way to make his only daughter give up hope!
Maynard fell silent.
Remembering what Bernard had done, Viola said with a flattering smile, "Mr. Chu, he's our guest. Do you agree?"
She hoped that she could witness the misfortune of Bernard
"Are you sure you won't regret it? The corners of Maynard's narrow and long eyes raised slightly, and his tone was meaningful. Viola chuckled, "Of course not."
"Since Mrs. Chu said so, I'm okay with it." Maynard agreed readily.
Earl Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
As he saw the affection between them, and then the sight of Jennifer and the fake love between the two, his face turned as dark as ink.
Earl Lan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He frowned so much that he could almost kill a fly. "Who made this tea?"
Jennifer cast a pitiful glance at Viola.
With her eyelids twitching, Viola had a bad feeling and raised her hand trembling.
"This tea is not good." Earl Lan stated calmly, putting down the teacup. "I have to give you advice in all aspects, unless you are worthy of the title of Princess consort, otherwise my daughter will have the chance to be in power at any time."
Was it really appropriate for him to announce his sinister intentions so roughly?
Viola felt like being hit by a thunderbolt!
Jennifer almost fell over.
After a long while, Viola held Maynard's hand and asked, "Mr. Chu, you don't want me to learn this, right?"
"Study hard." A mischievous smile flitted across Maynard's eyes, and he withdrew his hand unmoved.
A feeling of helplessness welled up in Viola's heart.
This is her retribution.
She regretted a lot. ☐☐
