Chapter 725 Strange People
Hearing his grandfather's penetrating conclusion, Leo's lips trembled and he didn't know how to respond. Was this the so-called "one thing conquers another"?
He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, indicating that he couldn't calm down. Although what grandpa said was right, it was still unbearable.
"What grandpa said is a little wrong. Although I am just a psychologist, I also have mercy."
"Mercy?"
Edmund repeated his lips trembling. He felt sorry for himself. He knew his grandson very well.
Although he wouldn't do the illegal business, he was not a good person.
"Do you want me to punish you with family law?"
As soon as Leo heard that his grandpa was going to use the family rules, he immediately stopped. He stood up in silence and didn't dare to slack off at all.
"Grandpa, since you have ordered, I will definitely try my best to find out the disease of Hester."
Raising his hand to cover his eyes, Edmund was too ashamed to look at the person in front of him. If he had a choice, he really didn't want this boy to be his grandson.
"I'm tired."
Leo nodded and left the pavilion slowly. He raised his head and took a deep breath. He finally muddled through, but he still had to think about what to do next.
On the other side, Hester walked slowly to a beautiful building with the old housekeeper. She was surprised and speechless. So the guest room he mentioned just now was actually a separate house?
"Excuse me!"
"Miss Hester, what do you think?"
The old butler nodded politely. He was very patient with Hester.
"Is this the guest room?"
Although she might have guessed it, Hester thought it was necessary to ask! If she misunderstood him, it would be too late.
The old butler was stunned, and then smiled lightly. Although he didn't know much about Hester, he knew that she must have been frightened.
"Miss Hester, you don't have to be so restrained. Since you have arrived at the old house of the Liu family, it means that you are already home. You can have a good rest. If you need anything, you can ask the servant to do it!
I still has something to deal with, so I have to leave now."
Hester nodded slightly. She didn't dare to waste the old housekeeper's precious time anymore. God! What kind of person did she offend this time?
Pushing the door open, Hester walked into the room and looked around at the antique decoration style. She was very happy. Although she didn't know anything about antiques, it seemed that they were expensive!
"Oh my God! Why do I feel like I'm in an antique shop?"
Although it was a good place, she was kidnapped in a hurry. Her phone and bag were all left in the car, so she couldn't contact Brother Austin. She wondered how anxious he would be now!
Thinking of this, she felt very sad. She paced in the room, checked the room layout, and lay lazily on the bed. Soon she fell asleep.
It was a good night's dream. Hester woke up from it sweetly. She stretched her body and got out of bed barefoot. The strange environment made her a little uncomfortable, but there was also a trace of intimacy in it.
She pushed the window open. The fragrance of flowers in the room was refreshing. Although she didn't know why these people kidnapped her, she believed that Brother Austin wouldn't worry too much as she was with Leo!
"Are you awake?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Hester slowly walked to the door. When she opened the door, she saw Leo, who was wearing a light smile, perfectly integrated with the background.
"It's the first time I've stepped into this place for so many years!"
Looking at the small yard with emotion, Leo sighed in his heart. Since his aunt eloped with someone, his grandfather had blocked this place and forbidden people to come in and out. He didn't expect that this taboo would be broken for Hester.
"Don't people usually come in here?"
Hester looked at Leo and frowned in confusion. The room was spotless. It didn't look like no one lived there!
Withdrawing his expression, Leo hid all the unknown emotions in his heart. He looked up at Hester and raised his hand to fondle the hair behind her ear.
"Let's go! Everyone is waiting for you!"
"Wait for me?"
Hester pointed at herself, wondering what he meant. She was just kidnapped. Was there any enemy?
An old man was already a headache for her, but now he had some helpers. What should she do?
Noticing Hester's worry, Leo held her hand and gave her some strength quietly. But he didn't know how to explain it.
All the members of the Liu family came back in an instant. It was really a big problem for them to meet later.
"Don't worry! I'm here!"
"Okay!"
Hester nodded vigorously. At least there was a person she knew who would protect her. There shouldn't be too much of a problem!
Thinking of this, she followed Leo to the main hall. As soon as she stepped into the room, she was shocked by the people of the former.
There were not so many people last night. Why did it feel like a century after one night?
Under the complicated gaze of the crowd, she slowly walked in and unexpectedly found a familiar face. Hester frowned in confusion and stood quietly in the middle, allowing everyone to look at her.
"Are you my sister's daughter?"
A woman asked in a trembling voice, looking at Hester with tearful eyes. She held a square towel in her hand, as if she would faint in the next second.

Although Hester was a little worried, she was still confused at the woman's words. She had never had such a relative!
"Sorry, did you get the wrong person?"
When the woman heard Hester's words, her watery eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't accept this fact. Her body was trembling like autumn leaves.
"No way! How could she not tell you the truth? I have been loving her since I was a child!"
Sheryl stepped forward to support his mother and comforted her softly.
"Mom! Please don't be sad. Maybe aunt has difficulties!"
