Chapter 259
Arya''s heart tightened and her hands trembled. Harriet''s words pierced her heart like an ice cone,
making her a little breathless. Her face immediately turned pale and she unconsciously put her hand on
her lower abdomen.
She pped Harriet with the other hand and shouted, "How dare you?!"
She could tolerate anything, but she would never tolerate anyone doing harm to her child.
But just then.
Henry walked out of the study and saw this scene. His face darkened instantly.
Harriet would watch TV in the living room every day. She had figured out his daily routine and knew
that he woulde out at this time.
Thus, she deliberately said that, angering Arya and ruining her image in front of Henry.
She would never let Arya get Henry''s approval andpletely integrate into the Jones Family!
"What are you doing?" Henry said in a deep voice.
Harriet did not say anything, but covered her face, lowered her head, and sobbed softly.
She knew that at this moment, Henry would feel more guilty if she didn''t say anything.
"Henry, don''t be angry. It''s all my fault." Harriet wiped away her tears and looked up at him.
The palm print on her face was clearly visible.
Arya pped her hard. She did not regret it. She would never allow anyone to hurt her child.
Henry looked at Arya and said in a calm voice, "Tell me, what''s going on?"
"Henry, it really has nothing to do with Arya." Harriet said first, looking aggrieved.
"What''s wrong?" Bridget came out of the bathroom and saw this scene. What had happened when she
went to the bathroom?
Arya closed her eyes and said nothing. She knew that Harriet had deliberately provoked her just now.
"Actually, I know that I''m redundant here. Even if you and Grandpa are good friends, I''m not a member
of the Jones Family. Besides, I had a rtionship with Xavier before. I know that Arya is unhappy."
Harriet lowered her head and said as she wiped her tears.
"This is your home. I promised I''d take care of you, and I will. Tell me what''s going on." Henry put his
hands on his back as if it wouldn''t be over until Arya exined it clearly.
Bridget waspletely confused. She didn''t know what had happened and stood aside, not knowing
what she could say.
Daisy coaxed Ryan to sleep. Hearing the noise in the living room, she came out of the room, closed the
door, and walked into the living room.
Like Bridget, she didn''t know what had happened and looked at Henry in a daze. "What are you angry
about?"
He snorted coldly. "I''ve promised the old chief that I would take good care of Harriet. I can''t go back on
my word. As long as she''s here, she''s a member of the Jones Family. No one is allowed to bully her."
Speaking of this, Henry looked at Arya, "You must justify your action!"
Arya had nothing to say, and even if she exined, Henry might not believe her.
He didn''t like Arya at all. What happened just now would only make him hate her more.
She was helpless.
Daisy protected Arya behind her, frowned, and nced at Harriet. It seemed that it had something to
do with Harriet. She asked, "What''s going on?"
Harriet knew that Daisy had epted Arya now. She looked down at her toes for a long time without
saying anything.
"Why didn''t you say anything?" Daisy never liked her, and now she stirred up trouble again, so Daisy
hated her even more.
"What''s going on? Just tell me." Henry was obviously supporting Harriet. He thought it must be Arya''s
fault. After all, he saw her p Harriet with his own eyes.
Harriet bit her lip and looked at Arya, "Arya..."
"You can say whatever you want. Don''t worry, I won''t refute you. After all, I pped you." Arya paused
and said in a deep voice, "But there''s always a reason for me to do it. Maybe people won''t believe me,
but I, as a mother, would do anything worse than p you to protect my child! I don''t regret pping
you."
"Arya, I don''t understand what you''re saying. What did I do to you?" Harriet looked at her with tears and
grievances in her eyes.
Arya watched her act coldly.
She was such a good actress.

If she were an actress, she would be very popr.
"Because that day I was in the study with..." Harriet deliberately paused, lowering her head shyly and
biting her lips. "Nothing happened between Xavier and I. Don''t misunderstand..."
Everyone in the living room was stunned, but only Arya knew how scheming this woman was.
Daisy took her words seriously, "That day... You and Xavier..."
"We didn''t do that on purpose. We couldn''t help it..." Harriet was straightforward, and anyone could
understand what she meant.
Bridget''s eyes widened in disbelief, "You and my brother? Don''t you know that my brother is married?"
"Don''t insult him!" Arya scolded her. She believed that Xavier wouldn''t do such a thing.
Arya didn''t want to argue with her anymore, so she said to Daisy, "Mom, I''m going back to my room."
Daisy nodded repeatedly
She was still a little worried that Arya would think too much, "Don''t take it to heart..."
"Mom, I know..." Arya said calmly. She really didn''t take it to heart. She believed Xavier.
Arya went back to her room and there was silence in the living room for a while.
Daisy stared at Harriet for a while, "If you still want to stay here, behave yourself!"
Daisy didn''t know what to say. That day, she did see Harriet run out of Xavier''s study. She didn''t know
what had happened between them and nobody knew it. Xavier and Harriet used to be together, so it
was possible that they had sex.
Daisy felt a headache and didn''t want to care. Xavier wasn''t there, so she couldn''t ask him what was
going on.
She red at Henry. He knew about Harriet''s rtionship with the Jones Family but still brought her
back, "It''s all your fault!"
After that, she turned around and went upstairs.
Bridget asked tentatively, "Harriet, are you kidding me?"
Could her brother do such a thing? She was clear about how good was Xavier to Arya. How could he
have sex with Harriet?
"Come with me." Henry said to Harriet and turned back to the study first.
Harriet followed him into the study.
Bridget wanted to see how Arya would react to such a thing, so she said, "I''m going to see my sister-in-
Henry ignored her. He was also upset by the mess at home.
Entering the study, he sat at the desk and looked at Harriet, "What''s going on? Tell me clearly."
Harriet lowered her head and looked embarrassed. After a long time, she said, "The day I arrived, I
went to the study to deliver fruit... Xavier and I..." She suddenly looked up at Henry. "Xavier and I broke
up because of her interference. You know, I''ve been with Xavier for almost four years. We have
feelings for each other. After Xavier got married, I never did anything against the rules. In fact, Xavier
and I didn''t do anything. Maybe she misunderstood me because I''m living here..."
Henry frowned and looked at Harriet, "Is that why she pped you?"
"I know she didn''t mean it." Harriet quickly waved her hand and spoke for Arya, making herself calm
and kind.
"I also believe that she didn''t do it on purpose." Although Daisy didn''t want to get involved, she was
worried, so she came downstairs again. Just as she was about to enter the study, she heard what
Harriet said.
Harriet''s body stiffened and her hands were sped behind her back. She did not expect Daisy to
suddenlye in.
"Daisy is right." Harriet lowered her head and hid all her dissatisfaction.
Henry snorted, looked at Daisy, and said in a deep voice, "I think you''re getting more and more stupid!"
"Sooner orter, you will see whether I am stupid or you are." Daisy rarely contradicted her husband.
This time, she was really angry.
