Chapter 101
Jenna smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Ella, there is something that I need to clarify today. Please cooperate with me."
Aunt Ella understood and smiled. She said seriously, "Yes, Young Madam. As long as you ask, I will tell you everything."
"Okay." Jenna nodded and sat down slowly. She smoothed the sheets on the bed over and over again with her soft hands, and then slowly revealed the red sheets inside. A red rose bloomed in the middle of the sheets, like a bloody demon.
She didn't speak, but just stroked the red sheets with her hand. Suddenly, she felt a pang in her chest, as if she had been stabbed in the heart. The scene from her wedding night was vivid in her mind. Until today, her heart was scarred. That night was too painful and she fainted because of the pain. She couldn't erase this feeling until now. Up until today, she still tried to refuse Hansen's advances. If she couldn't figure out the reason, there was no way she could continue on with her life.
She raised her head and stared at Larry. Larry's face was as white as a sheet and her whole body was shaking. There was a hint of panic in her eyes. Obviously, she had figured out what Jenna was planning on asking her.
However, she pretended to be calm and suppressed the panic in her eyes. She couldn't admit it. If she admitted it, she was sure that she would get kicked out of Richards Manor. She couldn't lose this job. She had no choice. Young Madam, I have no choice but to keep denying your words.
However, things would not go so smoothly this time. Apparently, Jenna did not intend to let her go.
Her consciousness wavered and she held on tightly. When a person faced a dangerous situation, their instinct to protect themselves would be on high alert.
"Aunt Ella, may I ask you, do you know who came to change my bedsheets on my wedding night three years ago?" Her eyes were burning with anticipation.
"Young Madam, I was drunk on that night. When I woke up, it was already noon the next day. It wasn't me, but I am pretty sure Larry would know," Aunt Ella thought and answered earnestly. Then she turned her head to Larry and said harshly, "Larry, you have been in charge of cleaning the rooms all this while. It must have been you."
Larry wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Young Madam, it's been three years. I can't recall who did it."
Can't recall? Jenna almost laughed out loud and said coldly, "Larry, you are not that old. How can you not remember? That was Young Master's and my wedding night. You may forget about other things, but definitely not that night."
Larry had an ugly smile on her face. She replied, "Young Madam, I really don't know what you're trying to say."
"Really?" Jenna laughed again. She tightened her grip on the rose and said with a sad smile, "Larry, I treated you as a sister, so you'd better think about it carefully. Let me tell you, I have already obtained the surveillance video of the Green Jade Garden from the security room. Do you still want to deny that it was you in the corridor that night?"
What? What video? Larry was stunned. Young Madam was really powerful. She was no longer the weak woman who would get bullied by the servants. It seems like Larry's bad luck was coming. However, the video most probably only recorded her cleaning the room. There was probably nothing else on the video.
"Young Madam, I remember now. Yes, I was the one who changed the sheets, but I didn't do anything else. It was my duty to change the sheets anyways. I'm just wondering what you are trying
to imply?" Larry seemed to remember something and said suddenly.
Jenna sneered in her heart. If she didn't mention that she had the video, would Larry remember? Would she never have remembered?
"Well, Larry, do you remember what time you came to change the sheets? Was there anything on the sheets?" Jenna went straight to the point, and asked righteously.
Larry thought hard and long, and she kept shaking her head. "Young Madam, I really don't remember. I didn't see anything on the sheets. When I took the sheets out, I immediately threw them into the washing machine. I didn't notice anything."
"Larry, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious woman." Aunt Ella couldn't help but burn with anger when Larry still did not want to admit it. She scolded, "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? From the video, we saw that you walked out of the room with a bag. Although we couldn't really see in detail what it was, you yourself should know. Why do you have to lie to your conscience? You only think about yourself. Have you ever thought about what kind of pain you've put Young Madam through all these years? Young Master has wronged her all these years. Do you not feel any guilt?"
Aunt Ella really did not expect the servants of Green Jade Garden to be so vicious that they would do such a thing without remorse. When Jenna called her into the room and secretly asked this question, she suddenly realized what the problem was between Young Master and Young Madam. If she had known this earlier, she would not have gotten drunk that night even if she was beaten to death. To put it bluntly, Young Madam had suffered the most throughout these years.
Although Young Master did not say anything, and even Marissa did not know about it, one could see Young Master's psychological stress and the grievances Young Madam had suffered. Although the rich and powerful families were open-minded, they also placed great importance on this.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aunt Ella was an elder and her thinking was much more conservative. This matter was very important to her and she could not stand Larry's evil intentions. That day, she was determined to ask Larry to hand over the evidence, otherwise, she would have gone and ransacked her room in an attempt to find the evidence. "Tell me. What was in that bag?" Jenna's eyes were filled with irrepressible pain. She asked with a cold face, "If you don't explain it clearly today, I will tell Grandma Richards. I will use my authority to kick you out of the Richards Manor."
Larry's expression changed from fear, to anger then to looking like she was going to be sick. Finally, she was stone- faced. She stood still, not saying anything.
"Of course, if you tell me, I will allow you to stay in the Richards Manor, and I will continue to trust you. After all, you are one of Richards Manor's long serving employees. In fact, this is not a big deal and it's really nothing. However, this is related to my dignity and reputation, therefore please tell me the truth. Furthermore, I have the medical records from the hospital. I know everything." Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. Her tone softened a lot and her face was full of pain.
She was a young person in a modern world, so this was not really a big deal. She would not be conservative to this extent. However, when she thought of Hansen's disgusted eyes when she told him that Norton had wanted to rape her that night. He did not believe her. He scolded her for being so flirtatious. She couldn't stand it. She wanted to prove her innocence and restore her dignity. She wanted not only to get his love, but to prove that she was innocent.
From time to time, Hansen would give her a disgusted look and accused her of not being a virgin on their wedding night. That was why he had lost all faith in her. Larry knew that she couldn't hide it from them any longer. She hesitated and thought about the consequences of telling the truth.
"Larry, don't be confused. Think about it. Who does Young Master stay with now? Whose hands is the inheritance of Richards Manor in? Aria doesn't have anything. She will only be living in Richard Manor for three months. And with Grandma Richards still around, it's impossible for her to move in.
You are smart and have the opportunity to redeem yourself. Don't miss such a good opportunity. Young Madam is giving you a chance. As long as you tell her the truth, she will forgive you and keep you safe."
Suddenly, Larry burst into tears. She crawled over and hugged Jenna's leg, and said sadly, "Young Madam, I will tell you everything, but you have to promise me that you will not kick me out. My whole family depends on me. I am the sole breadwinner of my family and my family is in a tough situation, so I had no choice but to do this."
Sure enough, Jenna's face was full of pain. It turned out that she had really been set up three years ago.
"Don't worry, I'm a woman of my word. Your family is in a tough spot, so I'll help you," Jenna held back her grief and anger and said calmly.
"Young Madam, in fact, I felt guilty for doing it. It has been so many years. In the past, whenever I hear you cry in the room, I will feel a rush of guilt. Therefore, I didn't destroy the sheet, but hid it in order to return it to you to prove your innocence in the future. At that time, I blamed myself for being money-minded," Larry said with regret as she cried.
Aunt Ella was so angry that she nearly wanted to knock Larry down.
Now that the truth had come to light, Jenna had a splitting headache. It was as if someone had punched her in the gut so hard that she couldn't breathe.
"Young Madam, I really didn't know such a thing would happen. You have been wronged for so many years," Aunt Ella said bitterly. "Young Master has truly misunderstood you. It turned out that someone has set you up. You can't blame Young Master. In fact, every man cares about it. What's more, Young Master is a man with pride. Now, justice has been restored. Young Master is finally
able to let go of that grudge he has been holding against you. He will definitely make peace with you in the future."
She said with pity and sighed deeply. Although so many years had passed, Larry still kept the evidence and it was now much easier to solve this problem.
Was that true? Was that the only reason he had misunderstood and rejected her for so many years? Would he really care about this if he really loved her?
Jenna was sneering in her heart, and her stomach was churning; it was as if she was about to throw up. However, she simply smiled faintly and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Ella."
