    Chapter 126 I Will Make Him Pay


    Nova rang the doorbell, and the butler Bates hurried to open the door. Mabel had informed the


    housekeeper of


    Nova’s visit. When Bates saw Nova, he smiled at Nova and greeted her, “Miss Bush, you’re here.”


    The butler used to call Nova Mrs. King, and he was not so ustomted to the new title.


    Nova thought Miss Bush pleasant to hear. She beamed and nodded. “Yeah, Bates.”


    Bates stepped aside and Nova walked into the house with a gift.


    Mabel had been waiting for Nova on the sofa. When she heard Nova’s voice, she hurriedly said, “Nova,


    come


    and sit. You’re being too punctual. Precisely one and half an hour. Why don’t youe a bit earlier!”

    Nova changed into slippers and walked toward Mabel smilingly. “Ran into a traffic jam.”


    “Come on, girl,e and sit!”


    Nova let Mabel take her to the seat.


    Mabel looked at Nova up and down, and, after finding that Nova was as pretty and healthy as before,


    she


    heaved a sigh of relief. Mabel worried that Nova would lose her appetite for sadness.


    “Grandma, it’s my bad. I didn’te to see you recently. Even tomorrow…”


    “Tomorrow? You’ve attended every birthday party of grandma in the past few years. You won’te


    tomorrow? You don’t think I am your grandma anymore?”


    Nova hurriedly denied, “How would I? Grandma, please don’t get me wrong. It’s just about the things that


    happened recently. It would be embarrassing for me to…”


    “Embarrassing? There’s nothing embarrassing! You’re my granddaughter from now on. I’ll see who dares


    to


    speak ill of you.”


    Nova’s words displeased Mabel.


    She was displeased because those people who were hostile to Nova made her utter those words.


    Nova lowered her head. “Grandma…”


    She didn’t know how to express it. She had brought her gift to Mabel.


    Mabel clearly saw what Nova was thinking. Mabel nced at the gift, and, when Nova wanted to hand


    her the


    gift, she directly refused, “I don’t want it. If you didn’t give me this at my birthday party, then I won’t


    ept


    it! And in the future, you don’t need to see me as your grandmother!”


    “Grandma… of course I’ll see you as my grandma!” Exined Nova in shock.


    Mabel said, “Good girl. I have only you. I just want you to be with me at the party. Have you really


    decided not


    toe? If you have, then I don’t want this party.”


    Nova had been with Mabel every year at the birthday party, and Mabel was used to the girl’s presence.


    But now,


    Nova’s sudden message that she would be absent from Mabel’s birthday party really upset Mabel.


    Mabel really liked Nova.


    Nova took a breath. As grandma had said so, she would have to go..


    After pondering, Nova finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll be there tomorrow.”


    Mabel’s face lit up with pleasure. Her look of grief disappeared. Mabel held Nova’s hand and said


    happily, “I


    know you’re my best girl! Don’t worry. If anyone dares to say a single ‘no‘ to you tomorrow, I will make


    him


    pay!”


    Mabel’s words warmed Nova’s heart. Nova knew that this was her grandmother.


    However…


    She feared that, with her current status, her presence at the party would ruin grandma’s birthday party.


    In her hesitation, the door was suddenly opened.
