Chapter 69 Elder sister Hazel
The next morning, Brian woke up with a headache and looked around, he saw some alcohol on the table. Brian took a sip and started to feel nauseous, he hurriedly got on the trolley and rushed to the restroom. Brian vomited all out, he personally cleaned his body, tiredly moved outside and called Jane to come. He discovered that she was not inside and hurried to look for her.
As he passed through the corridor, he saw the butler Riley, who politely greeted him and continued carrying a tray of tea. He suddenly thought of something and quickly went to Grandpa Wibul’s room. Meanwhile in Wibul’s room, Hazel is arguing with her grandfather. Angry Hazel says:
“Grandpa doesn’t understand me? What did I do wrong?”
Wibul scolds Hazel:
“I cannot continue to ignore things. Hazel, have the courage to leave your husband. Property disputes when you divorce I will take care of everything.”
Hazel sobbed said:
“No, I can’t do it. I have my own problems.”
Wibul helplessly replied:
“Hazel, if you have any problem tell me, I will help you. On the other hand, I can’t stand by when you keep taking the company’s funds for your own personal reasons to support your husband’s loss-making capital.”
Hazel grabbed Grandpa’s arm, pleading:
“Can you forgive me one more time? I promise this is the last time, there won’t be a next time.”
Wibul brushed Hazel’s hand away and said coldly:
“My benevolence and generosity have limits, this is not once but many times, today you have reached the limit of this old man. I can’t ignore it again ”
Hazel panicked and begged:
“No, please. You can’t treat me like that. If you take all back now, my husband’s company will go bankrupt.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Wibul nonchalantly replied:
“It’s the result he deserves.”
Hazel asks Wibul for help:
“Impossible, if he goes bankrupt, he won’t let me go. He will post it and my honor will be lost.”
Mr. Wibul confusedly asked Hazel:
“What did you just say? Post it up? Tell me, what happened?”
At this point Hazel burst into tears, she confessed everything to her grandfather:
“My husband, he is a bad guy. He made me drunk and gave me to his partner. I and his partner had sex and it was he, who recorded the whole incident. When I was sober, he threatened me with blackmail and asked me to somehow manage money for him to handle company problems. I am a prestigious lady, and also a director of a company, I cannot allow my naked image to be posted online and become a topic of discussion. I will lose all your honor and career. I don’t accept it happening.”
Wibul hugs Hazel and soothes:
“My good niece, why didn’t you tell me that? I will help you deal with him.”
Hazel shook her head and replied:
“No, I’ve bothered you too many times already.”
Wibul reassures his niece:
“Hazel, where is the strong girl inside you? I want you to go back to being the resilient girl you used to be. Be strong and don’t be afraid of it. I will do my best to help you.”
Hazel hugged her grandfather and sobbed.
“Yes, I won’t run away from that fear anymore. Thank you for helping me.”
She let go of Wibul lightly, adding:
“He’s still keeping the clip of me on his computer. Although I asked to delete the clips from his phone on previous occasions when I gave him money. But he’s an old fox, I think besides the computer, he’ll save it somewhere else. Therefore, I am still prey in his sights, so we should act secretly and quietly. So I beg you not to reveal this to anyone, not even Matthew and Brian.”
Wibul hastily interrupted Hazel’s words:
“You don’t have to tell it, I know what I need to do. Don’t worry, this is a secret between us, when it’s all over, they’ll find out on their own.”
Hazel wiped her tears, she smiled and thanked Mr. Wibul again. She was about to sit down at the table to have some tea to relax, when Brian opened the door and walked in. Now that she regained her normal expression, she ignored Brian and said to Grandpa Wibul:
“Thank you for understanding me. If there’s nothing else, then I will go out.”
Brian hastily interrupted Hazel’s words:
“Wait, what is the purpose of your return this time?”
Hazel coldly approached Brian:
“Everything’s fine. I missed grandpa, so I came here to visit him.”
Brian smiled faintly and asked again:
“Really? Or were you discovered by him for stealing company funds, so you came back here to ask for his forgiveness?”
Hazel’s face paled when Brian found out about her, she didn’t show any surprise or panic, Hazel calmly replied:
“Brian, isn’t it like that? I didn’t take it, I came here just to visit my grandfather. Where did you hear that information from?”
Brian chuckled, reply:
“Hazel, you’re like that again. You should know this is not the first time I have received information about you, the previous times you have returned, it has happened, it is impossible that the company lost money and your presence here coincidentally. Because I know you always turn down gatherings and holidays and don’t come back home for whatever reason you can make excuses.”
Hazel smiled wryly and said:
“It seems that my younger brother still cares and loves me very much, when every action of mine, he knows. But can you accuse me? That’s my life, Grandpa didn’t object and always forgave me. This time too, I am so grateful for it, I love my family and I will do anything for my happiness.”
Brian heard Hazel say that and looked at his grandfather with an angry expression:
“This is the second offense? Why does Grandpa still forgive her and let her do everything? How can you cover up your niece’s wrongdoing so blindly?”
Mr. Wibul sighed and replied:
“Brian, that’s my decision. Don’t worry about it, take care of your leg wound first.”
Brian angrily shouted:
“Mr. Wibul, you have always been a righteous person. Are you still covering for her? As before, every time in the past, even when she pretended to be a good sister, behind her back, she was looking for evidence against her young brother’s disruptive behavior at school and reporting it to you. You always listened to what she said and exposed me, punished me and sent me to a boarding school. On the contrary, her rebellious behavior at school, you covered it all up.”
Hazel calmly replied:
“I do everything just for the sake of you. You won’t know how much the things you did made Grandpa sad. Therefore, I took action to make you review your actions.”
Brian laughs.
“I know, you do it just for my good, but I need the honesty and care of my loved ones, not a fake and unfair one. That’s why I don’t like my family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian turned to leave the room, he moved boredly down the corridor, he paused to rest for a moment and suddenly remembered Jane. He continues to search for her with the help of his butler Allen when Brian meets him in the hallway.
Meanwhile, Jane is playing with Mia, the 5-year-old daughter of Lady Hazel, she is very sociable and cheerful, always smiling and talking to Jane. She collected funny little stones and made a bracelet for her. Mia curiously asked Jane when she saw her concentrating on making the bracelet:
“When will it be finished?”
Jane smiled and replied:
“Quick, just a few more minutes.”
Mia sat skillfully practicing cutting paper while Jane was making that gift, after a while, Jane also finished her bracelet and put it on Mia’s hand. The child looked at the bracelet with delight and exclaimed:
“It’s so beautiful, I love it.”
Joyfully Jane says:
“If I had more time, I would make it more beautiful.”
Mia smiled brightly.
“No need, I like it as this.”
Jane replied with a smile, Mia cut the paper to assemble it into a boat, Mia didn’t want Jane to touch what she was doing, Mia wanted to do it by herself, so Jane had to sit there and watch her do it. In her free time, Jane combed her hair and put small flowers in Mia’s hair, then tied it loose to keep Mia neat while having fun.
When the paper boat was almost done, Brian came here after searching for her for a while. Brian moved closer and looked annoyed.
“Jane, you look so happy to be here.”
