Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604

Morgan's expression changed at once.

I have never touched the bracelet before. How did it end up in my luggage?

“Ms. Willow, what are you up to? I know you have never been very fond of me, but I'm already leaving. What else do you want?” He had no intention to stay since Josiah had already passed away.

Regardless, he had not expected Willow to pull such a dirty trick.

“Morgan, what do you mean? Why are you making it sound as if I'm accusing you? It's a fact that the bracelet was found in your luggage. What else do you have to say?” Willow simply couldn't stand the sight of Morgan.

In fact, he had always been a thorn in her flesh.

Charmaine had also personally witnessed the bracelet being taken out of Morgan's luggage.

“What are you guys waiting for? Call the police now!”

“Oh, so this is what your objective is. Ms. Willow, I finally know what kind of person you are. No wonder Old Mr. Tanner didn't like you.” How can she be so despicable?

Willow gave a mirthless laugh after hearing Morgan's words.

“Do you think I care about whether he likes me or not? What can he do now even if he doesn't like me? And what right do you have to lecture me? Who do you think you are? Call the police. Get him arrested immediately!”

The other housekeepers were all stunned.

They had all worked with Morgan for many years and knew his character well. Hence, none of them believed that Morgan would do such a thing.

“Ms. Willow, there must have been a misunderstanding. Morgan would never steal your things.”

“Exactly! Ms. Willow, Morgan is a good man. Why don't you let him off since he's already leaving the Tanner residence.”

As the butler had always treated the others well, everyone started pleading with Willow on his behalf.

Willow swept her gaze across the other housekeepers and said arrogantly in an overbearing manner, “What does that mean? Are you saying that I'm wrongly accusing him? All of you can leave if you don't wish to work here anymore. There are others who are dying to work for us.”

Meanwhile, all Morgan felt was disappointment.

After all, he had served the Tanner family dutifully for so many years, and that was not the way he had envisioned his relationship with the family to end in such a way.

“Willa, just listen to me and drop the matter,” Charmaine said. She also trusted that Morgan would not commit such an offense.

“Mom, what do you mean? Are you suggesting that I've wronged him too? Do you think I would do that? He's just a nobody! Why would I waste my energy framing him?”

Taking a pause, she continued, “Since none of you is on my side, I'll call the police myself!” Willow took out her phone and reported the incident to the police.

Morgan was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Unable to watch the situation any longer, one of the housekeepers ran to the bathroom to call Sophie.

Sophie, who had just fallen asleep, was awaken by the ringing of her phone.

The moment she picked up, the housekeeper's voice sounded. “Ms. Sophie, something bad has happened. Morgan is in trouble. You should come here as soon as possible. Otherwise, Morgan is going to be arrested by the police.”

“What?” A crease appeared between Sophie's brows.

She had intended to send someone to pick Morgan up the next day and was shocked that the butler had gotten into trouble within such a short period of time.

After hanging up, Sophie climbed out of bed and got changed. Tristan had also just fallen asleep. When he heard the commotion, he sat up and saw Sophie changing.

Noticing the grim expression on the woman's face, he knew at once that something bad must have happened.

“What's the matter? Don't panic. I will come with you!”

“Okay.” Sophie did not reject the man's offer.

She headed to the bathroom to wash up before putting on a double-breasted overcoat.

Her hair was left messily over her shoulders, and she looked rather pale.

Tristan changed into a fresh set of clothes as well and headed out of the house with Sophie.

Sophie took a deep breath to calm herself down.

I mustn't get too angry.

She knew how despicable those people from the Tanner family were and told herself that she had to get used to their scheming ways.

“We're going to the Tanner residence,” Sophie said to Tristan after they got into the car.

“Got it.”

Tristan drove straight to their destination without asking any questions.

At the same time, the police had already arrived at the Tanner residence and found themselves caught in an awkward position after understanding the situation.

“What are you guys waiting for? You should be arresting him for stealing my bracelet. Do you still have any more questions?” Willow said impatiently while sitting on the couch.

“Morgan, is what she said true?” Faced with the current circumstances, the police were at a loss as to what to do.

“I did not steal her bracelet. I have no idea why it was found in my luggage,” Morgan reasserted.

“Do you think anyone would believe you? Does it make sense that you don't know why the bracelet is in your luggage? Do you know how much it costs?” Willow was unrelenting.

“Morgan, since you claimed that you don't know anything about what happened, we have no choice but to take you back to the police station,” one of the police officers said helplessly.

“Ms. Willow, Morgan would never do such a thing! On account of the fact that he had served the Tanner family for so many years, why don't you just let him off? He's already leaving the family anyway.” A few housekeepers who could not bear to watch Morgan being taken away started crying.

Everyone knew that Morgan was a good person. Throughout the years he had been with the Tanner family, he had never hesitated to offer his help to the other housekeepers whenever they needed it.

Something like that should not be happening to a kind person like him.

Willow sneered and said coldly, “I'm starting to think that all of you are in cahoots with him.”

She was determined to send Morgan to the police station, even if she had to do it herself.

She wanted to let everyone know that she was the one calling the shots in the Tanner family.

“Morgan, please come with us.” Given the way things had progressed, the police had no choice but to go by the book.

Morgan remained unfazed.

He had a clear conscience, and there was nothing for him to be afraid of even if he had to go to the police station.

He was just taken aback by Willow's viciousness.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the mansion.

Charmaine furrowed her brows as she wondered who it could be at such an odd hour.

A while later, Tristan and Sophie showed up.

When Morgan saw Sophie, tears started streaming down his face. He had managed to contain his emotions while being accused by Willow, but the moment he saw Sophie, he was no longer able to hold it in.

Sophie was unable to tolerate Morgan being bullied, and her expression darkened at once.

“Ms. Sophie, it wasn't me. I didn't steal her bracelet. I've been with the Tanner family for so many years, and everyone knows what kind of person I am. All I wanted is to leave. Why is she doing this to me?”

Morgan used to be a soldier, and to soldiers, reputation was what mattered most.

As such, he was unable to tolerate being accused of stealing.

Sophie's heart clenched when she saw Morgan's tears.

She knew the man very well and was livid at Willow for framing him.
