Chapter 474 Question Jennifer in the Hall
Many things happened that night.
And something was happening in the Felton's house.
Jennifer ran to Pamela's relative's house to play, and her phone was turned off. No one could get in touch with her.
When Viola and others left, Ronian ordered the bodyguards to find Jennifer as soon as possible.
Five hours later, Jennifer was carried back by the bodyguards from her relatives’ house in the early morning and thrown directly into the hall.
“Ouch! Be careful. It hurts!”
She rubbed her sore butt and complained angrily at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard bowed politely at her and left the hall without saying a word.
With a loud noise, the door of the hall was heavily closed, which scared Jennifer.
In the night, the candles in the hall flickered and the cold wind blew in occasionally. Jennifer felt terrified and got up from the ground.
Behind her, Ronian ordered coldly.
Hearing this voice, Jennifer trembled, feeling so scared.
She turned around stiffly and saw Ronian standing in front of the ancestors’ portraits of the Felton family. His face was gloomy and he was holding an even more terrifying family vine in his hand.
The glossy rattan looked very tough. Obviously, it had soaked in water when it was taken out, and it was prepared for her.
Jennifer was so scared as she tried hard to walk forward, knelt, and forced a smile.
"Ronian, you're so scary. What did I do wrong? I didn't expect that you would even prepare something like a rattan.”
Ronian pursed his lips tightly with a gloomy face, which looked so terrifying.
“Ronian, let's talk about it peacefully. My skin is delicate and I can't stand your rattan. Moreover, you have never hit me. Please forgive me this time."
Jennifer bit her lip miserably and pretended to be pitiful.
Ronian walked up to Jennifer and looked down at her. His voice sounded so cold, as if he was interrogating a criminal.
"Just answer my questions. If you dare to lie, I will break your legs.”
Jennifer's face turned pale, and she shook her head heavily. "I don’t dare to lie. Ronian, I'll answer all your questions honestly.”
"Why did you go out to hide tonight?”
For a moment, she remembered Viola's repeated reminders during the day and pretended to be dumb.
"I didn't go out to hide. Ronian, why do you think so? It was my aunt who called me to go over and play. I usually go and visit her. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I didn’t intend to come back tonight. But you sent someone to take me back. I often spend the night at my aunt's house. It's unnecessary to scare me with the rattan."
Ronian narrowed his eyes and tried to see through her expression. He continued to ask, "Did you take Viola's crystal earrings?”
When it came to this matter, Jennifer felt a chill in her heart. She repeatedly reminded herself to answer according to what Viola had taught her.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to get through it.
When she thought of this, she looked up innocently. "Yes. Is there a problem?"
Ronian frowned, his eyes burning with anger. He immediately waved the rattan and was about to hit her.
“Ronian! Please calm down. It hurts if you hit me with it! Just stop!"
Jennifer hurriedly used her arm to block him. Taking advantage of his hesitation, she threw herself at him and decisively put her hands around his thigh, sobbing.
"Ronian, you know me very well. I am usually very obedient. What mistakes have I committed? You should at least let me know.”
As she said, her eyes were full of tears, because she was frightened by Ronian's scary behavior.
Ronian took back the rattan and continued.
“Jennifer, have you forgotten the rules of the Felton family? How dare you steal things! Which hand did you touch the earrings?"
Jennifer put her hands around his legs even tighter and looked up at him suspiciously.
“Ronian, what did you say about stealing? Do you suspect that I stole the crystal earrings? How is that possible? I grew up in the
Felton family. I have seen all kinds of rare luxury jewelry. How could I steal them? And the earrings belong to Viola. Well... I would never do that."
Ronian frowned.
In fact, he did not believe that it was Jennifer who stole the earrings. His sister had lived with him for so many years, and he knew her temperament well.
Because of that, he questioned her in the hall, instead of punishing her directly.
He ordered in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Tell me everything that happened in detail."
Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told him the lie that she had practiced at her aunt's house many times before.
“At the party, Viola chatted with me. She said that she hadn't seen me for a long tine and missed me very much. By the way, she also asked about Sherlyn’s condition. After all, I didn't know about it, so I didn't say much. Later, when we chatted happily, Viola said that she wanted to give me a small gift, so she gave me crystal earrings. They are still in my bag now."
Just now, when she was thrown into the hall by the bodyguard, her bag fell to the ground in the corner of the pillar.
Jennifer tried to get up and carefully glanced at Ronian's expression. Seeing that he was not angry, she moved to the corner of the pillar and picked up the bag on the ground.
She took out a pair of expensive and exquisite blue crystal pendant earrings and handed them to Ronian. Then, she continued to explain.
“Ronian, after I came back from the party, I wanted to put such a valuable pair of earrings at home. But when I received a call from my aunt, I forgot to put them on the dressing table and took them with me."
She took out her phone from her bag, opened the call record, and showed it to Ronian.
After a long time of explanation, Ronian didn't seem that angry.
Jennifer pretended to be curious and asked, "Why did you say that I stole Viola's earrings? Did something happen?”
Ronian replied with deep eyes, "Viola said that the earrings were stolen. She worked together with Todd to search the Felton's house and took Sherlyn away."
Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Then she quickly pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why could they take Sherlyn away? Isn't this considered breaking into a private residence? Also, why did Viola say that the earrings were stolen? She gave them to me herself!"
Ronian didn't explain. He glanced coldly at Jennifer, who looked innocent.
"Stay away from Viola. Don't let her use you again. You are not a kid anymore. In the future, other than your family, you can't trust everyone else's words."
"I understand,” she replied softly and looked at the rattan in his hand timidly. "Ronian, can you put the thing in your hand back? I am so scared...”
“Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest." Ronian rubbed her head.
Jennifer nodded obediently and turned to leave the hall.
Even when she walked out of the hall, her legs were still trembling.
She heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest to calm down.
She only hoped that Sherlyn would never return after she was brought away by Viola. Jennifer did not want to see Sherlyn in the Felton family at all!
