Chapter 378 Scheme (Part One)
Devin, Rosy, and Haley were of the same generation, so Devin and Rosy wouldn't get any severe
punishment even if they were caught harming Haley. Lord Nalan might just scold them.
"Father, what if grandfather finds out..."
Lenny just glanced at them, took a sip of tea, and calmly said, "I'm Haley's uncle. If I personally take
any action to harm her, I may be regarded as an unreasonable person. But you are Haley's peers, and
it's not surprising for you to do things to get her in trouble. If your grandfather finds out, he might just
believe that you are still kids doing some silly things. He will not punish you."
Devin and Rosy looked at each other and understood what their father meant.
Lenny was a man who cared about his reputation. He wouldn't personally harm the younger members
of the Nalan clan, So he had to let his children do the dirty work.
Lenny was satisfied with his son and daughter, and they were capable of doing this. Besides, he could
also take this opportunity to train them.
"Father, trust us. We won't disappoint you this time, "
Promised Rosy with a smile.
Lenny patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hmm. I believe in you, my dear daughter."
"I won't let you down, too, "
Said Devin, seeming to fear that Rosy would be in their father's good graces before he got any chance.
"Hmm." Lenny also patted Devin on the shoulder to encourage him.
Lenny believed that he should not bother himself with small matters if he wanted to accomplish great
things, and that being kind to the enemy meant being cruel to himself. At the beginning, he didn't care
about Haley coming into the Nalan clan.
He just thought that the Nalan clan had received one more member who would live with them. After all,
the Nalan clan was big and wealthy. It was not a big deal to afford another granddaughter.
But now, Haley posed a threat to both his position and his property. He would surely try every means to
eliminate her.
"To achieve our aim, I want to meet with Sarah first. I believe that she will cooperate with us, " said
Rosy, after a few seconds of thought.
"Okay. You can carry out this matter yourself, and you can deal with Haley with your own ideas and
methods. I won't meddle in it for now."
After Rosy and Devin left Lenny's place, they went back to their own places.
When Rosy returned to her own garden, she called Jessie and told her to come over.
She thought she should discuss this matter with her good friend.
At this moment, Jessie was staying with her sworn father. Her sworn father was annoyed because she
received Rosy's call and had to go to Rosy's place.
Jessie then went to Rosy's place. Somehow, she was becoming increasingly tired of her sworn father.
She only thought of him when she wanted to buy something. She was unwilling to meet him if she
didn't need his money.
Her sworn father was her father's good friend.
He secretly did that nasty thing to her without her father's knowledge, which disgusted Jessie. Now that
she had grown up, she still was opposed to the idea.
However, she needed money to buy all kinds of things, such as handbags and other luxury items. What
else could she do to get money? There was simply no other way.
She had to depend on her sworn father, so Jessie felt trapped in the role of being someone's sworn
daughter. She wanted to leave her sworn father, but she couldn't part with him because she had been
used to living a luxurious life.
When Jessie had arrived at Rosy's place, she hastily asked, "What's up? Why did you ask me to come
here in such a hurry?"
Rosy glanced at her and replied, "It's urgent. Something is wrong."
"What's the matter? Go ahead. Tell me."
"I'm anxious about it. My grandfather hosted a dinner party and announced in the middle of it that he
was going to give Haley half of the Nalan clan's assets as a wedding gift. He didn't think about the
interests of his other children. Did he want us to share the other half of the assets? If so, I will not get
much from it."
"I think your grandfather is biased to Haley. Who on earth is she? There was no such a person in the
Nalan clan before."
"I know, right? I think it is so strange. Let me tell you about it. Haley only appeared recently. My
grandfather says that she is his sworn granddaughter, but I don't believe that it's that simple. If so, why
does my grandfather dote on her and treat her better than his other children and grandchildren?"
Rosy got even more annoyed at the thought of this.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Lord Nalan had never been this kind to Rosy, but, instead, he was very strict with her. If she was a bit
unruly or willful, Lord Nalan would even criticize her.
She wondered why Haley would be her grandfather's favourite after she came to the Nalan clan.
"We should investigate this matter. Perhaps... she was not just your grandfather's sworn
granddaughter. Is it possible that she is his illegitimate daughter?" Jessie began to analyze this matter.
Rosy shook her head. "That's impossible. My grandfather is eighty years old. Haley is only a bit more
than twenty years old. If she is his illegitimate daughter, my grandfather was in his sixties when she
was born. Do you think he could have a daughter at the age of sixty? No way."
When they talked about it, they burst into laughter at how ridiculous the thought was.
"Okay. Don't guess blindly. I invited you here today to discuss how we are going to deal with Haley.
Have you come up with any good idea? I don't want the Nalan clan's assets to become her wedding
gift. Haley had only lived at the Nalan clan's house for a few months. How could she get our clan's
assets?" said Rosy in resentment.
"It would be difficult to deal with her. I've heard that Haley is going to marry the Young Master of the Mu
clan, right? Why are they in a relationship? I remember that the Young Master of the Mu clan was
engaged to someone else before, " said Jessie curiously.
She had seen the news lately.
"I don't know, either. Who knows how Haley seduced Young Master Mu and made him abandon his
fiancée... I know his fiancée. She is the Lady of the Xia clan and has been missing for many years.
Sherry, my auntie, was married into the Xia clan, and the Lady of the Xia clan is Auntie Sherry's
biological daughter."
"Something is wrong. After hearing you, I feel strange about it." As an onlooker, Jessie felt that the
whole thing was strange after hearing Rosy. But she couldn't find out why.
"What's wrong? Why do you say this matter is strange?"
"Do you mean that Young Master Mu has been engaged to your auntie's daughter before?"
"Yes. The news about his engagement had even spread swiftly across the whole city at that time. The
Lady of the Xia clan was pregnant. But later, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor told them that she
couldn't get pregnant again, so Young Master Mu abandoned her afterward. But I think there's more to
it. How could she lose the capability to get pregnant just because of a miscarriage?"
