Chapter 777


    With a smile, Morgan said, "Mister had already nned to leave his job since long ago. However,


    I''m not too sure about the reason behind it. Well, if you want to know, I can go and ask him about it."


    Then, he acted as if he was about to head upstairs, but ine immediately stopped him. "It''s okay,


    Morgan. I bet Dr. Perkins and Mr. Lawson are currently busy, so let''s not bother them."


    After a pause, she said, "Since Dr. Perkins wants to leave his current job, I''m sure that he had been


    thinking about it. I shouldn''t stick my nose into his private life. If it was Dr. Perkins who requested for


    me to work here, I''m okay with it."


    Excitedly, Morgan replied, "That would be great then."


    Although ine felt strange about Howard''s decision, she didn''t think much about it.


    When it was almost noon, the servants were starting to prepare lunch in the kitchen, so Morgan


    went to check on them. Then, he quietly headed upstairs to the study and told Vincent about


    ine''s promise.


    After Vincent heard that, he looked at Morgan in surprise.


    Even Ruben praised him. "Morgan, no wonder that Vincent had been keeping you by his side for so


    many years. The fact that you can handle things perfectly even without the order from him, you


    really to stay by his side for the rest of your life."


    The one who understood Vincent the most was still Morgan.


    If Vincent were to visit the Perkins Family often, things would definitelye to light one day.


    But if they were to bring ine to the vi without anyone noticing, it would be a perfect solution to


    the problem.


    In that case, not only could she stay in the vi to continue taking care of Vincent, but it would also


    allow Vincent to appear in the Perkins Family as ''Howard''.


    It would be killing two birds with one stone.


    When they headed downstairs, they noticed that ine was busy helping the servants to carry


    things.


    The weather was good, and the sun was out, so the servants decided to put some of the books and


    paintings collected by Morgan under the sun. However, when ine was helping them to carry the


    books, she was surprised. "These books would be able tost Morgan a long time, right?"


    The servant smiled and replied, "Some of them are limited editions, and Morgan usually would


    never allow us to touch them."


    Immediately, ine held them with extra care in her arms.


    There was a huge French window in the living room, where the scenery outside could be seen


    clearly. At that moment, Vincent was sitting on the sofa as he watched ine help the servants out.


    Meanwhile, Ruben poured himself a cup of coffee and said while drinking, "She''s so extroverted,


    and she seems to be having a good time with these servants."


    Suddenly, ine seemed to have found a book that piqued her interest, and she started to stand in


    front of the shelf and read it.


    As Vincent watched, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "ording to the information, she


    had never attended university?"


    Then, Ruben nodded and replied, "She came from a low- ie family, and her sister wanted to


    attend college, so her parents told her to quit school. In the past few years, all the money that


    ine had earned from working was given to her sister, but when her brother wanted to go to


    college, she then gave her money to her brother."


    In fact, her family had treated her like a moneymaking machine.


    When Vincent heard what Ruben said, he didn''t say anything, nor did he respond.


    A momentter, Ruben threw a nce at him and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?


    Do you dislike her now that you realized she didn''t attend university?"


    Casually, Vincent leaned on the chair and uttered, "Her education level is worthless to me. It''s just


    that she seems to enjoy studying..."


    Suddenly, he paused.


    A bad feeling came to Ruben, and he immediately asked, "What do you want to do?"


    Slowly, Vincent turned to look at him and asked, "I remember Morgan once said that you used to


    study in a prestigious university?"


    "Of course, it has one of the best rankings in the world!" Speaking of his Alma maters, Ruben felt


    proud.


    Nonchntly, Vincent said, "If she wants to further her studies, then I shall send her to the same


    one as you did."


    "Huh?" Surprised, Ruben couldn''t even hold his coffee steadily, "what nonsense are you spouting?


    This is not a high- level institution that you can attend just because you want to! No, you can''t do


    that. Absolutely not!"


    With a sneer, Vincent asked, "Oh, really?" Immediately, Ruben gritted his teeth and insisted, "No


    matter what method you use, no means no!"


    However, Vincent didn''t pursue further. Instead, he retracted his gaze and continued to stare at


    ine, who was standing outside the window. "You don''t have to worry about this matter. I''ll have


    Filip to get it done."


    "Sh*t, are you being serious? Not only did you sent the Dark Guards, but now you''re also nning


    to get Filip to help you? Are you crazy?"


    Meanwhile, Vincent didn''t say a word, and he gradually frowned. At first, Ruben thought he was


    angry and immediately shrank back, "Well... I didn''t mean that. Don''t be..."


    Suddenly, Vincent stood up.

    Taken aback, Ruben asked, "Where are you going?"


    As he spoke, he trailed closely behind Vincent and followed his line of sight. It was then that Ruben


    realized what had happened.


    Apparently, while ine and the servants were basking the books and paintings under the sun in


    the garden, one of the servants identally tripped over a stone, which caused the books and


    paintings in her hands to fall to the ground.


    And one of Morgan''s most precious paintings was broken.


    Terrified, the servant immediately burst into tears. In the meantime, ine was alsopletely at a


    loss, so she could onlyfort the servant.


    "What should I do? This is Morgan''s favorite painting. I broke it..."


    With a ghastly pale face, the servant uttered, "Even if I were to sell myself off, I wouldn''t be able to


    afford topensate him!"


    Since ine came from a simr background, she knew how it felt to break such an expensive


    painting, so she also felt a little sad. Just as she was trying to think of a solution, Morgan, who


    heard themotion, came out to have a look.


    The moment Morgan saw the broken painting on the ground, his face suddenly darkened.


    After Ruben and Vincent came out together and tried to figure out what had happened, they were


    tongue-tied.


    The only interest that Morgan had was to collect expensive paintings.


    Since he had neither wife nor children, nor was he interested in anything else, all his hard earn


    money in his entire life had been spent on these books and paintings.


    In fact, the painting that broke was also his favorite painter, Master ck''s limited edition painting.


    Clearly, the pain that Morgan felt was immense.


    As ine looked at the terrified servant who was crouching on the ground and didn''t know what to


    do, she blurted out without hesitation, "Morgan, I''m sorry. It was my fault. I broke it by ident."


    Suddenly, Vincent''s face darkened.


    Surprised, Ruben raised his eyebrows.


    Although he and Vincent clearly saw that it had nothing to do with her, she stood out to bear the


    responsibility.


    Indeed, she was very loyal.


    However, the expression on Vincent''s face was as dark as coal. Didn''t he usually appreciate people


    who were loyal to friends? Why did he look so upset now?


    Stunned, Morgan nced at ine and said, "Since it was an ident, I''ll just forget about it then."


    Immediately, Ruben burst intoughter and said, "Morgan, although you said to forget about it, I


    know your heart is bleeding in pain."


    Bitterly, Morgan smiled and said, "What else can I do? idents happen. Since it''s just a painting,


    I''ll just buy another one in the future."


    However, only he knew in his heart that this painting was out of print, and the one he had was the


    only real one.


    Never did ine expect that Morgan would ask her to forget about it, and she was surprised. In


    fact, she had never expected that Morgan was such a nice person.


    The servant was obviously taken aback by Morgan''s attitude. Usually, Morgan was strict, and he


    rarely smiled, but she didn''t expect him to be so nice today...


    At that moment, ine couldn''t help but feel guilty.


    In the meantime, the servant stood up bravely. "Morgan, it has nothing to do with Miss Jacob. It was


    all my fault, and it was I who didn''t hold it properly. Miss Jacob felt sorry for me, so she came


    forward to help me take the responsibility."


    With a frown, Morgan asked, "Miss Jacob, is that so?"


    Embarrassed, ine exined, "I am also responsible for this mistake. Since we did the work


    together, now that something is broken, we will have to bear the same amount of responsibility, and


    not just push the responsibility aside just because we are afraid of the consequences."


    Those words were not what Morgan expected. After a while, he looked at the damaged painting on


    the ground and sighed. "Well, it''s just a painting. Since it''s damaged, let''s just forget about it."


    Although he said so, his face was still full of grief.


    Hurriedly, ine ran over to pick up the painting and said, "Morgan, I don''t think this painting is


    seriously damaged. Some professional painters are good at repairing such paintings. Why don''t you


    find someone who can repair this..."


    Halfway through her sentence, she blinked her eyes. "Uhm, isn''t this Master ck''s painting?"


    If she had not mistaken, the one that she was holding was counterfeit.
