Filed to story: Oops! My Junkyard Husband Is A Billionaire
He was one of old members of the Chandler family. He was also the personal doctor of grandpa Chandler. Everybody trusted him.
All of people felt relieved when they heard his words.
” It’s all right, it’s all right!”
Grandpa Chandler was relieved from the false alarm and he wiped the sweat on his forehead by a hanky.
However, some other members of the family did not think that way. Laura snortted,” It won’t be over like this. She pushed the kid to the water as an adult. How vicious she is. Sophia, you must account for this no matter what!”
She turned her sight to Sophia as she was saying. She seemed would not end this easily.
Sophia was always a face-saving person and Ruby was the one she hated the most.
She had never expected that she would be coerced by Laura by the reason of Ruby. Her face grew more and more gloomy.
How could she be partial to Ruby?
Sophia would beat that trouble maker out of the house if grandpa Chandler was not there.
“Feel relieved, Laura. We will explain to you for sure.”
Sophia turned her sight to grandpa Chandler after she said that,” Father, what’s your opinion?”
Vivian garbled a story by adding details when she saw the situation,” Sophia! I can’t be mercy on this. This vicious woman has not even let go of a dog or a child. Who dares to come visit the Chandler family in the future after that?”
All the family concentrated their sights on grandpa Chandler asking for his opinion.
Grandpa Chandler frowned,” Ruby is not that kind of person. This could be a misunderstanding.”
Laura refuted when grandpa Chandler just finished his words,” Misunderstanding? This is about a life of a human and now you still want to protect her? Father, don’t be partial to her anymore.”
At the moment, Jess was still wet all over. She came in from the door and the suit coat of Ray was covered on her.
All the people stared at her.
“Ruby, can you tell us what happened?”
Grandpa Chandler looked at Jess and asked with a constant tone.
Jess explained,” I saw the dog fell into water and Belle tried to catch it so I went to help her but Laura yelled loudly and Belle was frightened by it so she slipped and fell into water.”
“You are lying! Ruby, you are quibbling even at such a situation. How dare you to put the fault on me!”
Laura was so angry that she almost went ballistic. She trembled all over her body.
Meanwhile, the maid went down the stairs and reported,” Miss. Belle has waken up!”
The people in the house went upstairs instantly to see the kid when they heard the kid had waken up.
Belle curled up on the bed and she was crying for her mother.
Laura rushed to the front and held the kid in her arms with a rueful expression on her face,” Mother is here. Don’t be afraid. It’s fine now.”
Vivian asked immediately when Belle was finally calm down,” Belle, please tell me, how you fell into water? Was there someone pushing you?”
Sophia asked,” Was that Ruby?”
Belle had recovered at the moment. She raised her sight to the people around and nodded her head.
That snow white little hand pointed to Jess straightly.
Jess suddenly felt cold in her heart. Her face grew more and more gloomy and the words came out of her mouth,” How could you tell a lie?”
The air was frozen suddenly. Some maids took a few steps back unconciously. They all knew that Laura shields a shortcoming or fault the most.
“Who are you calling a liar?”
Laura seemed to be stimulated. She let go the kid and yelled angrily to Jess,” My Belle never tells a lie. But you, Ruby, I really under estimated your vicious. How dare you shirking from your fault and put that on Belle.”
People around all frowned and looked at Jess.
Laura turned to grandpa Chandler and made a difficulty for him,” Father, you heard that. Belle is your own granddaughter. You can’t always shield that woman. You must make it clear today or I will not come to the Chandler family anymore. I’m afraid to!”
“Laura!”
“Laura!”
Vivian and Amelia called in hurry then they turned to look at grandpa Chandler simultaneously.
Grandpa Chandler frowned and he was speechless at the moment.
“Father, is it so hard for me asking for justice?”
Laura turned her tearstained face to Sophia,” Sophia, are you going to shield her, too?”
The sights suddenly fell on Sophia.
“You are even no better than a kid. You made a mistake but did not admit it and you even tried to tell a lie.”
Sophia was so angry obviously.
Since grandpa Chandler was not saying anything, she pointed at Jess and said,” Get yourself to the ancestral hall immediately! Don’t think about having any food if you don’t kneel in front of the ancestors for a day and night!”
The cold words pressed down to Jess. She could not even support her body to stand nearly.
It did not make any sense. Jess did not do anything wrong.
Went to the ancestral hall?
She did not do anything wrong. Why should her?
She glared at the people and when she was just to refute, she was stopped by Ray. He said deeply,” I will kneel with her!”
All the people was shocked when they heard the words.
“Ray, it was not you concern. Why are you trying to be involved?”
“That’s right, Ray. You don’t have to kneel with her. You did not push the kid.” Amelia said.
“When are you going to stop shielding her?”
Vivian pointed at Ray angrily and she even trembled.
“Ray, what are you doing now?”
Sophia was also surprised.
The sights gathered to Ray. He turned his head and looked at Jess,” She is my wife. I shell take the responsibility with her if she makes mistakes.”
His words were powerful, unswerving and unarguable.
Sophia shook her when she saw the situation,” No, I don’t allow you to go.”
Ray was her loved son like the meat on her heart. He was her proud, the proud of Kyorin city. How could he go to kneel with Ruby in the ancestral hall?
But Ray did not say anything and held Jess in his hand then walked out of the room.
Jess thought that Ray did not trust her but Ray protected her in this way.
Her eyes grew red suddenly. It seemed all the grievances had all gone.
“You don’t have to go. I can go by myself!”
Jess pushed away his hand.
How could a man like him kneel?
As she was saying, she made the coat covering on her tighter. She was wet all over.
She did not even get a chance to change her cloth. She just walked to the ancestral hall limply.
“Ruby!”
Ray tried to catch up her.
But his arm was captured by Sophia inexpertly. He could not escape from it no matter how he struggled.
There was a sharp voice of Sophia buzzing beside his ear,” You can’t go!”
Jess went to the ancestral hall directly.
Some middle-aged maid were asked to follow her. They pressed Jess down and said,” Kneel!”
Jess threw their hands away and kneel down straightly.
Her pink white face was full of obstinate expression.
Those maids snorted then walked away.
The heavy door was closed with a creak.
A cold gruesome wind blew to her face…
Jess raised her head. Under the gloomy light, in rows and lines, a few dozens of black painted and golden outlined memorial tablets were setting trimly in front of her.
Jess felt afraid in her mind.
Time past by seconds and minutes. After about half an hour, with a creak, the door behind her was opened.
Jess was frightened. Then she heard steps in hurry.
She turned her head to look. She saw a young maid taking a soft pad with her was getting in covertly.
Jess could not help frowning.
The young maid ran to her with few steps and she peeped to the door warily.
” Mrs. Chandler, Mr. Chandler asked me to bring the pad for you. Please mat this.”
Jess was stunned. She was moved in her mind.
The young maid said with encouraging,” The ground is hard and cold. Mr. Chandler is afraid that you will get ill.”
Jess did not has any doubt with this and she put the pad under her body immediately.
She was undeserved from the beginning.
She was grateful with Ray since he trusted her and sent a pad to her.
