After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic - Chapter 749: Is This Not a Loss?
Grace Watt’s face turned even paler, and she could only weakly explain, "The Young Madam said, she’s worried about reporting things to you and delaying your work, and initially, things weren’t like this. The Young Madam didn’t suffer any loss, but rather... rather the Old Lady was quite provoked by her, most of the flowers she bred have died, the birds she raised were also released by the Young Madam, and even her most prized spider was crushed by the Young Madam..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
The Old Lady was unlike others, she liked raising strange and quirky things. She used to love raising geckos, and in recent years, she’s been obsessed with spiders, the bigger the better.
Ben Hunter had argued with her countless times over this, and later, the Old Lady would secretly raise them, even Ben Hunter didn’t know she had hidden spiders in a corner of the Hunter Family’s astonishingly large mansion. How did Isabella Weaver find out? And even crush them?
Grace Watt explained with her head down, "The Old Lady intended to scare the Young Madam with spiders, deliberately instructing her to move flowers in the glass greenhouse at the Garden Estate. The spider jumped onto the Young Madam from the flower, and then... the Young Madam dropped the flower pot, crushed the spider, and released the birds in the glass greenhouse. She said that the Merlin Falcon was a second-level protected animal, and keeping it was illegal..."
"The Old Lady was so angry yesterday that she skipped lunch and dinner, and she also punished the Young Madam by forbidding her to eat. The Young Madam woke up hungry and started plucking flowers in the Garden Estate to drink nectar. Some flowers can be eaten directly, and she ate them all. There was also a tiny melon the Old Lady personally planted, which the Young Madam picked and ate. It really wasn’t a big deal, but Cherry Lewis was stirring trouble on the side, and it ended with a fight."
Harry Hunter, upon hearing this, looked exceptionally displeased!
In Grace Watt’s eyes, this is called not suffering a loss?
Even those creepy giant spiders bred by the Old Lady would scare him if unexpectedly thrown on him, not to mention Isabella, a young girl!
And she even forbade Isabella from eating! Forced Isabella to eat flowers!
If he’d known she hadn’t eaten, he wouldn’t have tormented her earlier!
"From now on, you must report the Young Madam’s whereabouts to me daily. If you dare hide things like this again, you know the consequences!"
Grace Watt, knowing how big a mess this incident had caused, feeling guilty for failing his duty as a bodyguard, agreed remorsefully.
"Go get your injuries treated, come back tomorrow."
Grace Watt responded and left, leaving David who reported in a low voice to Harry Hunter about the situation at the ancestral mansion.
"All personnel on the Old Lady’s side have been replaced with our own people. Upon investigation, there were few who laid hands on the Young Madam, the dirt on the Young Madam was all poured by the Old Lady, and the bruise on her forehead was caused by Cherry Lewis hitting her."
"There are quite a few scratches on her hands, who did those?"
"They were probably caused while she was being instructed by the Old Lady to work in the flower greenhouse."
After David finished speaking, he cautiously glanced at Harry and said, "The Old Lady is cursing non-stop at home, demanding you go over, and wants a doctor, saying her face got pricked by a bunch of cactus spines, causing intense pain."
Harry Hunter’s expression was ice cold. She wants a doctor? It’s already generous enough that he hasn’t pricked more cactus spines into the Old Lady’s face!
She even cursed Isabella for being unable to lay eggs!
What’s that supposed to mean, isn’t that calling Isabella a chicken?
Harry Hunter felt an indescribable anger and disgust; if Isabella was a hen that could lay eggs, wouldn’t that make him a rooster?
Is the Old Lady’s mind waterlogged?
She even cursed her grandson!
"No need for a doctor, it’s just some cactus spines, it’s not going to kill anyone! As for Cherry Lewis, keep an eye on them, move more cactuses in front of them, let them feel the pain adequately!"
