Chapter 465: An Astonishing Scene

Doesn't she go to America?

Why does she come back so soon? This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I turn my head to look at Frances, feeling despair.

Frances just smiles at me and pulls me in.

In front of Hilda and old Mr. Louis, he holds me in his arms and stares into my eyes. "Jane, don't worry. You are the only one I love, the one I love the most, though I have Earl with me," he says to me.

But I know these words are for Hilda.

I turn around to look at Hilda. Although she's trying her best to hold back her anger, I can still feel it from her fist.

I am so delighted to see her angry like that.

I get up on my tiptoes and lightly kiss Frances’ lips.

"I love you too."

I look into his eyes and say to him with great affection.

"Oh." Old Mr. Louis suddenly gives a cry, and then he says sternly, "Hurry up and go upstairs. Don't behave like that in front of me!"

Frances lowers his head and smiles at me, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

I don't say anything and let him lead me upstairs.

I actually have mixed feelings.

Just now, I saw what Hilda did in the mirror.

When I kissed Frances, Hilda pinched the back of old Mr. Louis’ hand hard.

Old Mr. Louis’ hand was already burned, so he cried out in pain.

I thought that Hilda and old Mr. Louis were getting along very well. However, the fact doesn't seem to be like this.

Hilda knows old Mr. Louis' hand has been injured. If they are really getting along well, how could she pinch his hand so hard?

I even think old Mr. Louis is being threatened by Hilda.

That can explain the sudden change in old Mr. Louis’ attitude.

Old Mr. Louis is powerful while Hilda is just an ordinary woman. Why is he so afraid of her?

As I'm deep in thought, I don't even hear Frances talking to me.

He shakes my body and says to me in a deep voice, "Why have you been lost since just now? What happened?"

I look at Frances, wanting to tell him about it, but I still don't say anything.

I saw it but that is not evidence. Frances trusts Hilda so fully. If I tell him, he'll probably say I must be mistaken.

After thinking for a while, I choose to withhold it from him.

I have to ask old Mr. Louis about it. Only if old Mr. Louis says it himself, Frances will be convinced.

"Nothing much. I'm going to bathe Earl."

I smile at Frances and then carry Earl into the bathroom.

The next day, I tell Frances that I'm not going to the company with him because I'm not feeling well. In fact, that is just an excuse.

Frances leaves after telling me to take care of myself.

In the morning when Hilda takes Albie out for a walk, I go into old Mr. Louis’ room.

As soon as I walk in, old Mr. Louis says to me with a sullen face, "What are you doing here? I don't want to see you."

Now, I don't go out as I did at ordinary times.

I have to figure out all. Moreover, Hilda's absence is so short that I have to make good use of it.

"I have something to ask you. I'll leave as soon as I get the answer."

"I have nothing to say." Old Mr. Louis frowns and interrupts me.

Even so, I continue.

"I saw Hilda pinch you last night."
