Chapter 65
He rejected her call. The phone rang again and he immediately blocked the line off. The last person he wanted to speak with at that moment was her.
Why is she calling him? He doesn’t want to be disrespectful but he doesn’t feel like it, talking with her. The thoughts of that made him sullen again.
Anything about her reminds him of the ugly incident. He wants to be alone and doesn’t want to see her nor talk with her.
Sebrina Davis couldn’t take it again and told her daughter to come out of her hiding. She had told her to stay away from the prying eyes of people so that Luke would not drag her to have a DNA.
Betty sat before her mother chewing gum. She must confess that staying locked up and restrained from seeing people was not easy.
That is more of a house imprisonment. The only difference is that she was doing it on her own, not imposed upon her by the police.
“If he sees you again, let him know you had a miscarriage or better still, aborted it”Sebrina advised her daughter. They wanted to pull a fast one on that fellow but alas, he was smarter than they imagined.
Jenny is a bitch. She now lives big and wealthy simply because she was married to Eduardo, that cripple. If he wasn’t useless, Betty would have been the one in that position, controlling the affairs of the entire family.
Thinking of getting a way for her to get into the family, she plotted against Luke, but the fellow didn’t make love to her. Despite being drugged, Betty couldn’t get access beyond his shirt.
The young man would grip her hand and hold it tight as if he was going to twist her hand. She couldn’t pull his trouser Zipper let alone gain access to the real thing there.
She wanted to help when Patrick arrived. She had to pretend that nothing happened and keep her husband’s company. By the time she came back to see how far she’s gone, her daughter was already asleep beside him.
She thought everything was done and settled. Next morning when Luke and her daughter came out of the bedroom, she was excited within her.
But the latter said he wasn’t going to wait for breakfast and then it was just getting to be Dawn. He left hurriedly and when she asked her daughter, she said nothing happened.
They both stood and watched him get into the car and his bodyguard drove him off. As they stood by the window staring as the car zoomed up, raising dust behind, they knew Luke was going to hate them forever.
But then, they had a mission at heart and concluded that she put up a case of pregnancy a few weeks later. But the way it turned out, she would forever lose face in the entire City B if it was medically declared that she wasn’t pregnant.
“Will tell him I went into hiding to have the baby privately but then, I had a miscarriage” Betty restructured the lies.
“Have you seen Jenny recently?” Betty asked, turning to glance at her mother. The latter shrugged and said she saw her but then, she looked sophisticated as if she’s not the thin Jenny who left this house.
The two women were chatting when there was a car horn outside. Curiosity got a hold on them and they stared out to see who was coming.
They saw it was Jenny’s car. The mother and daughter pair glanced at each other with a sneer. What does the bitch want?
Jenny alrighted and walked over to the house with two heavy suitcases. The servants went to give her a helping hand and she got inside.
She stepped in and looked at Sebrina Davis with a sneer and then at Betty with disdain. “Are you out of your hiding now? You think everyone is stupid like you” she mocked and hissed.
“Watch your words Jenny. Who told you I was hiding huh?” Betty demanded, feeling annoyed at how beautiful and elegant Jenny now looks.
“Of course I knew about the fake pregnancy and how the request for a DNA sent you off to hiding. Well, you made a try but sorry, we have no place for filth like you in my family” Jenny declared and eyed her.
Betty was furious and raised her hand to slap Jenny but she was wrong to still believe and think that weakling Jenny was still the same person standing before her.
Jenny intercepted her hand at the wrist and twisted it. Betty turned along with the twisted hand and screamed loud, her tears running down her cheeks.
Jenny still held her wrist and Betty went down on her knees, cursing and screaming, calling her mother to come to her rescue.
Sebrina was surprised and launched an attack towards Jenny “How dare you Jenny?” picking the flower vase and throwing it at Jenny but the latter bent and the vase passed her crushing into the wall.
What a smart act. Sebrina went to her to get her hands off her daughter’s wrist. That part of the skin had gone red already and she knew that it would take days for Betty to be able to use that hand again.
“Take your hands off my daughter or I will deal with you this minute” Sebrina threatened and Jenny grinned mischievously.
“What can you do to me? Huh, tell me Sebrina Davis” Jenny asked, deliberately not calling her aunt. She’s never called her name this way.
Sebrina was shocked but before she could utter another word, Jenny turned and glanced at the girl Betty struggling to get her wrist Free from her trip.
“The next time you dare to raise your hand at me, trust me I will break those wrist bones of yours” she declared and threw the wrist off violently and Betty almost went flat on the floor.
She took a wet tissue from her bag and cleaned her hand then threw it at Betty. She took a seat and sat with her legs crossed.
Betty was cursing her and Sebrina was warning her that she would pay for what she’s done to her daughter. She will feel her wrath.
Jenny’s smile became broader. Who’s going to feel the wrath of the other. She’s not done with her purpose of coming to the Davis Mansion. When she’s done, Sebrina will be spending Many days left of her life in jail.
Patrick Davis arrived. He was surprised to see his daughter in pain and Jenny sitting majestically on the sofa. He saw the two large suitcases as well and wondered what was going on.
Before he could ask, Sebrina started yelling, telling him how Jenny wanted to kill Betty. How she twisted her hand and almost ripped the palm from the hand.
Patrick was angry. He saw Betty’s wrist red and she was sobbing. He turned to Jenny and asked her what the hell does she think she was doing in his house?
If he’s not comfortable with Betty’s attitude, she should remain in her husband’s house. Wasn’t she married? Who sent for her and what is she doing here?
Jenny smiled and said she wasn’t going to give answers to all he’s asked her. But she would answer his last question. To his question about what she was doing there, she proudly said, she was supposed to ask him the question.
The Mansion and everything inside of it belongs to her parents. They took over all that was there and made her less than a maid in her home. So, she’s come to chase them out.
Patrick stared at Jenny as if he should swallow her up. So, she’s gotten some audacity to return to that house to claim properties? She dares to come to that house, he would teach her a lesson.
“The owner of the house has arrived and that’s why you saw me with the two suitcases. So, you unwanted visitors, should be ready to vacate” Jenny declared.
“You are stupid to come in here and say such words at me. Do you know what I am capable of doing to you?” Patrick Davis asked, fuming in rage.
Jenny chuckled aloud and said she not only knew what he was capable of doing in the past, but she knew what he did. But that can only happen in the past.
In the present, there’s nothing he can do. If he doubts him, he should make an attempt.
Jenny glared at him with hostility. The bastard who killed his own Brother and made her mother suffer. He even took her to an empty graveyard. Such a cruel hearted man yet pretends to be pure.
Patrick and Sebrina exchanged glances. At this time, Betty had stood up from the floor and suspended her arm as she gently sat on the sofa.
“You got guts. It appeared that the cripple thing you are married to has gotten into your head. Before he arrived here in his wheelchair, I must have butchered you and served you to the dogs…” Patrick Davis gnawed angrily.
“I will start counting, you leave the house. The owner is here, I said. And you Betty, who asked you to sit on the sofa? When a man dies, his next of kin inherits his properties. I have accommodated you enough. So now leave before I call the police” Jenny declared. This time, she looked hostile towards them.
Patrick suddenly put on a weak smile and he blamed himself that he didn’t finish off the entire family. Sebrina told him to silent Jenny but he thought she would never grow bold to challenge him.
But here she is today, she’s grown wings and dares to challenge the eagle. No matter how wingy a butterfly is, he can never be equated with an angle.
“You dare to challenge me? You will never leave to tell the story” Patrick threatened and Sebrina urged him “Do the necessary Patrick and silent her forever”She glared at Jenny as if wanting her throat to be slit immediately.
“How do you intend to do that?” A thick husky voice came from the entrance. Everyone was surprised as they turned to look in the direction of the door and saw Eduardo standing with his huge frame at the door.
This family hadn’t really seen him without his wheelchair. They knew him in his past but in the present, they do not know him.
They all stood and for some seconds, were rendered speechless and dazed. The fellow was no longer cripple? Now he can walk?Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In their puzzled state, Eduardo walked closer and continued “You intend to silence her like you did her father?” That question threw the couple off balance.
“Huh?” Eduardo urged them more, going to Jenny and pulling her off the sofa, crossing his hand around her waist. He kissed her temple before those standing and faced Patrick Davis.
“Eldest master!”Betty exclaimed. Was she dreaming or was he really standing there before them? He can walk now?
She couldn’t pretend about how surprised she was. She opened her mouth and stared at him. He looked so handsome, way better than his brother.
She had always thought he was handsome except that he couldn’t use his legs and it was rumoured that he was impotent.
But seeing him now, handsome was an understatement. He was charming. She looked at him, holding Jenny’s waist and she became furious.
This should have been her. She should have been the one by his side and holding him so affectionately, not Jenny.
Patrick and Sebrina Davis stared on at the eldest master of Anderson’s family. He was not cripple or did he get cured?
If they knew he was going to be able to use his legs again, they would have let Betty be married to him and not have shifted such honour to the damn girl called Jenny.
But what did he say a while ago? Did he know what they did back then? A cold shiver ran through the couple’s spine as they looked away.
They cannot dare to hurt Jenny or him. His bodyguards are always around him. What exactly is happening here?
“I thought you said you were going to deal with me huh? Why don’t you just go ahead and hurt me like you did to my parents?
My father will never rest in peace if I don’t bring his killers before the law to be punished. He is waiting for Justice to be done and that’s why I have come to seek justice for my father” Jenny blurted.
A cold sweat breaks out on Patrick’s body. He suddenly loosened his upper button. Beads of sweat were now on his temple as he seemed to be confused.
He knew Jenny had known. Perhaps The Young master before them had helped her investigate it. They didn’t leave any clue behind that he remembered.
Or was she guessing, trying to find answers and decided to play it before them to see their actions. No, he can’t let her know anything.
“I know that my brother needed to be avenged. If that’s what you came for, you should have told me and I would put forces along with you to find them.
That’s if at all someone was involved. It was a case of an accident and he couldn’t make it. Your mother came out still alive but we battled to save her as well.
You know it all. How we spent every dime in this house and still she died. I wish this didn’t have to happen to this great couple..” Patrick went on blabbing as Jenny and Eduardo watched his lips.
