A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 505 The Last Time Someone Saw Vincent

"Father, why are you here?" said Rosy, shivering. Lenny slapped her face so hard that her ears were

still buzzing.

"Rosy, how dare you! I can't believe that you would want to kill your own grandfather! Why would you

do that?" Lenny shouted harshly, pointing at Rosy who was kneeling on the floor.

Rosy had never thought that Lenny would find out about the truth. She was so afraid of Lenny and of

what he would do to her that she knelt on the ground right after she was slapped, trying to think of a

proper explanation.

"Father, it's not what you think. I... I can explain it to you, " said Rosy anxiously.

"How could you possibly explain that? I clearly heard what you have just said when I was outside the

door. I want to ask you one question. Was it you who ordered someone to push your grandfather into

the pond?"

Rosy remained silent when she heard Lenny's question. Jessie, standing by her side, tried to ease the

tension and said, "Uncle Lenny, don't get mad. Please hear us out first."

However, what Jessie had said seemed to have made Lenny angrier. He got really mad and shouted,

"You shut up! Was it you who came up with such an evil idea? How can you be so vicious at such a

young age? It seems that I was too lenient on the two of you. I had never thought that you would be

such a bad influence on Rosy, or I would have never ever let you two become friends. How could you

even come up with such a sinister plot!"

"Uncle Lenny, we simply wanted to help you keep the properties which are supposed to be yours and

Rosy's. If we don't stop Lord Nalan, he will give everything to Linda! We did that for your own good!"

Jessie defensively explained. She had taken part in this scheme, but she didn't want to take full

responsibility for it. She merely had given Rosy some suggestions, and she really meant to help Rosy,

and even Lenny, protect their interests.

"For my own good? That's my father you wanted to murder!" Lenny shouted furiously.

"Yes, uncle Lenny, Lord Nalan is your father, but deep down, you also know that he is especially fond of

someone else, not you. If I hadn't helped Rosy, I'm afraid that all of the Nalan clan's fortune would fall

into Linda's hands in the future. Are you really okay with that?" explained Jessie.

Lenny didn't say a word after he heard Jessie's remarks.

Jessie seized the chance and continued, "Uncle Lenny, Lord Nalan has lived long enough to get

everything he ever wanted, but it doesn't mean that he had the right to give away the fortune of the

Nalan clan to Linda, merely because he loves Linda the most. Linda contributes nothing to your clan's

companies. How could she get them so easily? On the contrary, uncle Lenny, you are the one who has

always dedicated yourself to the Nalan clan's businesses. Shouldn't you be the one who gets the

most?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lenny calmed down a little bit when he heard Jessie's analysis. He was starting to think that what

Jessie had said might be right, but he still needed to pretend to be an honourable man in front of them.

"Anyhow, what you both had done isn't right. Don't you understand? Lord Nalan is our elder. He is my

father and Rosy's grandfather, " said Lenny in a lower voice.

Jessie realized that Lenny's attitude toward them had changed. She managed to hide the joy in her

voice and said, with a smile on her face, "Yes, we understand now. You are right, uncle Lenny. We

shouldn't have done something like that, but we can't undo it. There's just no way back. Uncle Lenny,

please think twice before you decide what to do next."

Lenny thought about it for a while. What Jessie had said was the truth. Richard wasn't very fond of his

two sons. When Lenny was little, Lord Nalan would punish him harshly if he did anything wrong, even

just for petty matters. On the contrary, when it came to Sherry, everything seemed to be different.

Richard had spoiled her and treated her like a princess.

Though Lenny hadn't said anything about it, he always thought that it was unfair, and he was jealous of

Sherry. He understood that Lord Nalan had wanted to be strict with him as he was the eldest child, but

now he was going to give a large amount of fortune to a woman who had just returned to their clan.

Even though Linda was Sherry's daughter, Lenny still found his father's partiality very frustrating.

In fact, he found it unacceptable. He didn't think that what Rosy and Jessie had done was right, but he

had changed his view against this matter.

"Yes, father, I know that I was wrong, but I still think it is unfair to give Linda the Sky Building and the

holiday resort as gifts to her babies. Those should belong to us, but Linda took them away from our

hands, taking advantage of grandfather's love to her."

"Still, you can never cross that line again. Do you understand? I would pretend that I didn't hear the

conversation that you two had today. Don't do anything like that next time!" said Lenny. Then, he turned

away with a grumble.

After Lenny left, Rosy fell back on the ground, feeling that she had lost all her strength to stand up.

Lenny's sudden appearance had scared the hell out of her. She had never thought that Lenny would

hear their conversation and walk into her room to confront her with it.

Walking up to Rosy, Jessie helped her stand up and said, "It's all right now. Your father has left."

"I'm terrified! Why did he come to my room at such a time?" said Rosy.

"I don't know. But it's not a bad thing that he knows about it. I can tell that he actually agrees with us.

He is your father. If you really want to get the properties from your grandfather's hands, you will need

your father's help, anyway. Since your father is alive, the properties will be passed on to your father

before you. At least, we now know that your father would fight for it, " said Jessie calmly.

Nodding her head, Rosy walked to a chair and sat down. Then, she took a sip of tea before taking a

deep breath to calm herself down. It had suddenly occurred to her that nobody had informed her before

her father had shown up, so she called all the servants in and scolded them for their carelessness.

What if it was another person who had gone in? Their plan to kill her grandfather would be exposed.

Lucky for Rosy, it was just her father.

If it had been someone else who had overheard their big secret and told others, there was truly no way

back for them!

The next day, in the afternoon, the sunshine was shining just right. Linda was sitting on a bench in the

garden, reading a comic book. The weather was great. It was the perfect time to get herself some

sunshine.

Her belly was so big that she couldn't do any exercise at all.

All she could do now was to take a walk under the sun after meals.

"My Lady, a policeman from prison informed us just now. They said that you are trying to get May Shen

out of the prison now, " Paul told Linda, as he walked up to her.

"I'm getting her out of the prison? Now? How could that happen?" wondered Linda.

Bun said with a smile, "It certainly isn't you, My Lady. I think it is Lisa. May is her biological mother.

Only she would take the risk to free May."

Linda closed the comic book, and her lips curved in a smile. Lisa was out of her mind. How dared she

pretend to be the lady of the Mu clan and get May out of the jail? Wasn't she afraid that someone would

find out about it? Everybody knew that May was just Linda's stepmother, and they had never gotten

along with each other. In fact, the way May had treated Linda wouldn't even qualify her as a

stepmother.

It seemed that Lisa could now no longer contain herself.

In this case, Linda wouldn't mind dealing with her now.

WSS had planted someone in the Public Security Bureau since the last time Lisa pretended to be Linda

and visited May in prison. That was also why Paul had known about it so fast.

"By the way, My Lady, there's another thing, " continued Paul.

"What is it?" asked Linda curiously.

"We had always wondered how Vincent had disappeared for such a long time. We can't find any trace

of him anywhere. We have probed deeply into this matter, and it turns out that the last time someone

saw him was when he was in the Huo clan's villa, " reported Paul.
