Chapter 243


    Chapter 243 The Most Troublesome are the Petty Ones


    I actually forgot, we still had to return to the old house together today.


    On the bus.


    All the way in silence, I originally thought he would say something to me, like warning me not to get too


    close to Daniel or something, but he didn’t, he didn’t say anything.


    Upon arriving at the old house, it was alreadyte.


    When I got off the car, as if possessed, I suddenly turned to him and said. “I’m not familiar with Daniel.”


    His body paused for a moment, then he nced at me sideways, his gaze cool and restrained, his


    voice low, “I know.”


    Me??


    Is that it?


    Seeing him say nothing and just get off the car like that, I was baffled. I thought he would say


    something.


    He didn’t say anything, really, I was a bit unustomed to it.


    Following him into the yard, I was a bit distracted and didn’t notice when he suddenly stopped. I walked


    straight into his back. The man was solidly built, and the impact twisted my features. My nose stung,


    and for a moment, I was in so much pain that I covered my nose and hissed.


    A deep, restrained male voice came from above, “What are you

    thinking about?”


    Covering my nose, I grimaced in pain, looking up at him speechlessly, “What could I think? Haven’t I


    been following you all along? Why did you suddenly stop?”


    This person really, looked quite thin, but how could their flesh be so firm? It hurt so much that tears


    were almosting out.


    Seeing my genuine pain, he furrowed his brows, his tone slightly softened as he asked, “Does it hurt a


    lot?”


    I said irritably, “Why don’t you try hitting it? Why did you suddenly stop?”


    He paused, unsure of what I had said that seemed to improve his mood slightly. Seeing his face no


    longer as cold as before, he looked towards the inner courtyard hall.


    I followed his gaze.


    In the brightly lit inner courtyard hall, apart from Mrs. Hinton of the Hinton family and Dale’s group,


    there was also a stranger… Jacob.


    What did hee for?


    I frowned, curious but ultimately didn’t ask too much. After all, this Jacob was a rtive of Emma’s.


    Perhaps Jacob came here because he had something to do.


    Thinking of this, I didn’t say much more either.


    Entered the inner courtyard hall with Walter.


    I had barely entered when I sensed that something was off with the atmosphere.


    Jacob looked pale, the olddy was somewhat helpless, and upon seeing us return, Dale hurriedly


    asked, “You’re back, have you had dinner?”


    Walter and I nodded in agreement.


    Hearing the sound, Jacob turned around to look at us. Seeing us, he suddenly stood up from his seat


    and walked towards us with a gloomy expression.


    To be precise, it was walking towards me.


    Seeing this, the olddy stood up nervously and said, “Xiao Zhao, don’t be impulsive. If there’s


    anything, just say it calmly.”


    Jacob seemed not to hear the olddy’s voice, he walked towards me with a gloomy face. Just as he


    was about to approach me, Walter stepped forward, blocking him from me, looking at him with a cold


    expression.


    Blocked by Walter, Jacob seemed to regain some sanity. He looked at Walter and said, “Walter, after


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Gianna went homest night, she threatened tomit suicide. She said that Tabatha pushed her into


    the pond, not only hit her but also insulted her. Last night, she lost control of her emotions and


    swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. If I hadn’t found out in time, my daughter would have died. You owe


    me an exnation for this.”


    Suicide?


    I pursed my lips, not understanding what Gianna was nning to do.


    He wanted to speak up to defend himself, but Walter suddenly spoke, looking at him and saying,


    “Exin? What exnation? If your daughter wants to die, that’s her business. My wife doesn’t need to


    exin anything to anyone for things she hasn’t done.”


    “You…” Jacob probably didn’t expect him to say that, and for a moment, he angrily said, “Walter, don’t


    be too arrogant!”


    Walter sneered, “Mr. Hendrix, please go back. It’ste, the Hinton family doesn’t amodate


    strangers.”


    Jacob hadn’t expected him to dismiss people without saving face, which made his chubby face turn red


    with anger, and he didn’t utter a word for a long time.


    Seeing Walter like this, Jacob held back his anger for a moment and said, “You are simply too


    outrageous. Fine, since you are unjust, don’t me me for being unkind.”


    After dropping harsh words, he snorted coldly and prepared to leave directly.


    Upon seeing this, I called out to stop him, “Mr. Zhao!”


    Jacob looked at me coldly, anger simmering in his eyes, “What now? You want to sling more mud at my


    daughter?”
