A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 505

"Father, why are you here?" said Rosy, shivering. Lenny slapped her face so hard that her ears were still buzzing.

"Rosy, how dare you! I can't believe that you would want to kill your own grandfather! Why would you do that?" Lenny shouted harshly, pointing at Rosy who was kneeling on the floor.

Rosy had never thought that Lenny would find out about the truth. She was so afraid of Lenny and of what he would do to her that she knelt on the ground right after she was slapped, trying to think of a proper explanation.

"Father, it's not what you think. I... I can explain it to you, " said Rosy anxiously.

"How could you possibly explain that? I clearly heard what you have just said when I was outside the door. I want to ask you one question. Was it you who ordered someone to push your grandfather into the pond?"

Rosy remained silent when she heard Lenny's question. Jessie, standing by her side, tried to ease the tension and said, "Uncle Lenny, don't get mad. Please hear us out first."

However, what Jessie had said seemed to have made Lenny angrier. He got really mad and shouted, "You shut up! Was it you who came up with such an evil idea? How can you be so vicious at such a young age? It seems that I was too lenient on the two of you. I had never thought that you would be such a bad influence on Rosy, or I would have never ever let you two become friends. How could you even come up with such a sinister plot!"

"Uncle Lenny, we simply wanted to help you keep the properties which are supposed to be yours and Rosy's. If we don't stop Lord Nalan, he will give everything to Linda! We did that for your own good!" Jessie defensively explained. She had taken part in this scheme, but she didn't want to take full responsibility for it. She merely had given Rosy some suggestions, and she really meant to help Rosy, and even Lenny, protect their interests.

"For my own good? That's my father you wanted to murder!" Lenny shouted furiously.

"Yes, uncle Lenny, Lord Nalan is your father, but deep down, you also know that he is especially fond of someone else, not you. If I hadn't helped Rosy, I'm afraid that all of the Nalan clan's fortune would fall into Linda's hands in the future. Are you really okay with that?" explained Jessie.

Lenny didn't say a word after he heard Jessie's remarks.

Jessie seized the chance and continued, "Uncle Lenny, Lord Nalan has lived long enough to get everything he ever wanted, but it doesn't mean that he had the right to give away the fortune of the Nalan clan to Linda, merely because he loves Linda the most. Linda contributes nothing to your clan's companies. How could she get them so easily? On the contrary, uncle Lenny, you are the one who has always dedicated yourself to the Nalan clan's businesses. Shouldn't you be the one who gets the most?"

Lenny calmed down a little bit when he heard Jessie's analysis. He was starting to think that what Jessie had said might be right, but he still needed to pretend to be an honourable man in front of them.

"Anyhow, what you both had done isn't right. Don't you understand? Lord Nalan is our elder. He is my father and Rosy's grandfather, " said Lenny in a lower voice.

Jessie realized that Lenny's attitude toward them had changed. She managed to hide the joy in her voice and said, with a smile on her face, "Yes, we understand now. You are right, uncle Lenny. We shouldn't have done something like that, but we can't undo it. There's just no way back. Uncle Lenny, please think twice before you decide what to do next."

Lenny thought about it for a while. What Jessie had said was the truth. Richard wasn't very fond of his two sons. When Lenny was little, Lord Nalan would punish him harshly if he did anything wrong, even just for petty matters. On the contrary, when it came to Sherry, everything seemed to be different. Richard had spoiled her and treated her like a princess.

Though Lenny hadn't said anything about it, he always thought that it was unfair, and he was jealous of Sherry. He understood that Lord Nalan had wanted to be strict with him as he was the eldest child, but now he was going to give a large amount of fortune to a woman who had just returned to their clan. Even though Linda was Sherry's daughter, Lenny still found his father's partiality very frustrating.

In fact, he found it unacceptable. He didn't think that what Rosy and Jessie had done was right, but he had changed his view against this matter.

"Yes, father, I know that I was wrong, but I still think it is unfair to give Linda the Sky Building and the holiday resort as gifts to her babies. Those should belong to us, but Linda took them away from our hands, taking advantage of grandfather's love to her."
