Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

775.Fondness

""Right before the incident, a servant noticed Nancy sneaking into Hao Chengsheng's room. What would a wealthy young lady like her have to do in a servant's room? It could only be to replace his medicine. Nancy also previously attempted to replace Lisa's red packet, worth eighteen million dollars, with a few hundred dollars. She clearly displayed that her character is lowly and evil. She poisoned the lake and killed all the fishes in an attempt to frame Lisa for ruining the Jeon family's luck. Did she think that all of these would go unnoticed if she just hypnotised Butler Bai Mingde?"

Chongshan's tone was heavy and exhausted. "Butler Mingde was never hypnotised by her. Or it would be more accurate to say that her hypnosis was not strong enough to control the strong-willed Butler Jeon. I've always known about all this. I only suppressed these matters because I was giving face to her adopted father, and taking into consideration that we've raised her for over twenty years. I've reminded her multiple times... to not desire for the things that did not belong to her. I told her to live as an upright person. Did she listen to me? With how things have escalated, I no longer wish to protect her nor am I willing to do so. Let's treat it as if the Jeon family has never raised her."

With that, he ended the call.

Huang Zhishu actually knew that Elder Chongshan had some feelings for their family.

After all, for the past few years, she and her children have always accompanied Elder Jeon in the old mansion.

However, she did not expect him to be this aware about all of Nancy's schemes. Right now, the only person who could rescue Nancy was gone...

Lisa recalled the events he had brought up. They had ended without any proper conclusions.

Based on the Jeon family's intelligence, it was impossible for them not to look further into this matter.

She had suspected that Elder Jeon was intentionally suppressing these matters and did not make a fuss about it.

It turned out that things were truly as she had surmised.

The only thing that surprised her was that Butler Mingde actually hadn't been hypnotised.

Lisa calmly took in Nancy's pale complexion. "Back when the newspapers wrote articles about how I purchased haunted apartments to ruin the Jeon family's luck, though you did not personally instruct the companies to do so and chose to send someone in your stead, that person still gave you away. At the time, Elder Jeon had begged me to not give you any trouble for it."

She sighed. "Nancy, you always seem to think that the Jeon family's elders don't have any fondness for you. But for all the schemes you've executed, Elder Jeon repeatedly requested for me to give you more opportunities. You're a member of the Jeon family and he could never bear to punish you. He did not want you to die. Even Jungkook's parents knew about this but they never interfered. This means that they gave you some face. The Jeon family's elders may appear cold on the outside but they are all warm-hearted and do have warm feelings for you."

She paused for a moment before continuing. "Otherwise, how could you possibly receive so much pocket money from the Jeon family every month? You received new clothes and cosmetics every season, and even got new cars every three to five years. The Jeon family has never mistreated you."

.....

Her gaze shifted onto Huang Zhishu and Mingyu. "They have never mistreated the two of you either."

"But I don't want those!" Nancy did not seem to feel the slightest guilt. "If they truly cared for me, they should have stopped Jungkook and you from marrying! They should have made Jungkook marry me!"

"No one can make decisions for me when it comes to my marriage." At this point, Jungkook's words were also a silent admission of the Jeon family's elders' feelings for Nancy.

After all, they had raised her for over twenty years. Even spending too much time with a cat or a dog would cause feelings to grow, much less a human.

He did not like Nancy. Still, he would not stop the Jeon family's elders from treating her well.

Still, their protection meant nothing if she harmed Lisa. He absolutely could not accept that.

It was due to Elder Jeon's interference that he finally understood Nancy's schemes in the recent past.
