Chapter 111: Bastards
As soon as Janet hears it, her expression turns sullen, and stares at May, "Where did they come from?"
Her tone is sharp and cold as if she is carrying out an interrogation. Albert and Rebecca immediately subtract their opinion of the 'grandma' even though they know that she isn't happy with their presence. "Madam, they... they were brought in by master." May is trying to protect the kids who are understanding, well behaved, and cute. As a result, she is very fond of them. That's why she is very protective of them. Even so, Janet is even angrier. Her own servant helping outsiders!
""Out of my way!"
"Madam..." May stops herself but didn't waver.
"I say again, out of my way!" Janet becomes even more forceful and determined. May was unable to handle her viciousness after all she is only a servant, "Madam, master will be upset if he knew." "How dare you use Edward to scare me?" Janet looks coldly at May.
May breaks out in cold sweat and is in a difficult position. Master kept instructing her to take good care of these two cuties but looking at Madam's temper if she finds out that the kids were Alice's, May was worried that... "No, I wouldn't dare."
"Then get out of my way!" Janet shoves May aside and looks carefully at the two children. They seem familiar but she just can't recall at that moment.
Only one conclusion, without a doubt, they are Alice's children!
""You are that slut Alice's children!"
Albert with that small and handsome face becomes disenchanted and glares threateningly at Janet. He is so young but he has a confident stance making Janet alarmed. But when she thought that such a clever child was Alice's, she was immediately upset, "Don't even know how to behave, truly uneducated bastards!"
Rebecca pouts when she heard, with her arms on her waist, she looks up at Janet, "We have a father and mother, we're not bastards."
When has Janet ever been talked back at? Even if the way which this doll says is so cute, but her dislike for Alice is overwhelming. She extends her hand to hit Rebecca.
"Madam!" May remarked. She didn't think that madam would hit a child.
She immediately rushed to Rebecca to block the slap.
Slap!
The thunderous slap causes the mood to tense up. The small kid's right cheek is red with an imprint. To the right is Rebecca who grabs Albert's shirt and cries pitifully, "Brother..."
"Don't be scared, bother's here." Albert didn't mind the pain and stared at Janet. He emphasizes each word, "If we are bastards, it was because the Louis family had done too much evil!"
"You!" Janet was upset with the "done too much evil" until her face was darkened. She was about to slap again but May rushed over to block and said, "Madam, master is coming back soon, if he sees that..."
On hearing this, Janet controls herself. She turns around and looks at the children who didn't back down. They are Alice's child alright. She wonders what Edward was thinking to bring someone else's children back.
"May, get these children out of here immediately!" Janet coldly orders.
"Madam..." May was very conflicted and looks at Janet. She can't do it without master's agreement. The Master's temper is also very harsh.
Additionally, these two kids are so lovely and adorable. May can do something as cruel and heartless as driving them out.
Janet sees May not doing as she was told and laughs angrily, "Not bad, this Alice is truly capable. In just a couple of days, not only was she able to get Edward to bring back her two bastards, but she also managed to get you to protect them! I see that you had forgotten whose servant you are!"
May didn't dare to say anything and simply lowers her head.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"You don't have to be conflicted May. We will leave. We don't wish to live here!" Albert says rebelliously.
"Then leave immediately!" Janet points to the door and says coldly.
"Don't you regret it!" Albert says coldly and pulls Rebecca's hand and leaves without looking back.
May sees and quickly calls out, "Little ones, you..."
"May!" Janet yells, May didn't know what to do. Only to see the two kids walking out of the villa. She looks back at Janet's expression of disgust and can only pray that master and Miss Roberts quickly come back.
"If you dare to call Edward, you'll face the consequences!" Janet warns May and cut off May's last thoughts.
...
On the other end, Edward is driving and brings Alice quickly to where Rupert lives.
He presses the bell and before long, Rupert opens the door and is stunned to see Alice. "You... " had been released?
Perhaps it's because Joanna and the Smiths are joined in marriage, and the prowess of the Smith family in the market, when Edward brought her out from the Police Station, the news of Alice's release wasn't publicized so most outsiders didn't know that Alice has been released. It is understandable that Rupert is shocked but what surprised him even more, is the person behind Alice, is Edward.
Edward is a notable figure in the city and normally can only be seen on television and magazines. When he sees him in person, Rupert is naturally excited. At least he is John Blake's good friend and he knows some background to the issues surrounding Edward, John, and Alice.
At this moment, he hesitates and it is better if Alice comes alone.
What does she mean by bringing Edward along?
John is actually in the bedroom resting.
"Is John inside?"
"Eh... yes, yes." Rupert is stunned for a moment and steps aside for Alice to go in. Edward is expressionless and walks in without saying a word.
"Sit down please." Rupert says awkwardly. He didn't know how to host such an important person. It seems inappropriate to say anything else.
Alice is very clear of her objective and speaks her mind, "Can I see John?"
"Yes, sure."
Rupert quickly nods and brings Alice to the guest room.
As they approach the door, Alice can detect the strong odor of disinfectant and medicine and she frowns. She remembers what her babies said and clenched her fists. She starts to be nervous and prays that John is alright.0000
