Coming out of the Heron Island Mansion, she saw Barney's car, his assistant saw her and greeted her respectfully, "Miss James, Mr. Brooks has been waiting for you for a while."
Saying that, he respectfully opened the car door for her, Nellie stepped forward and saw the man in the car who was full of reserve, "Why are you here?"
"Shall we talk?"
"Yes."
Nellie nodded and a gentle smile lifted the corners of the man's mouth.
The car drove away.
When Andre's car came over, he saw Nellie get into a car from afar. He didn't know whose car it was, so he followed it.
Eventually, the car stopped in front of a cafe and Barney got out first, reaching out his hand to Nellie inside in a gentlemanly manner.
Nellie put her hand into his broad palm, and Andre gripped the steering wheel tightly at this scene.
Nellie did not expect Barney to stay in Shirling for so long, but they had barely crossed paths after leaving from Phoenix City.
Together with what happened to Andre, Nellie did not want her friends to be affected, so those who were originally in good contact with her were less frequent.
"This is for you." The man placed a file folder on the coffee table and then pushed it towards her.
Nellie, "This is?"
"I know some of the current situation of the James family, and this document will be very helpful to you."
Nellie was surprised.
The James family was basically in Hazel's hands now and it was really not a good situation for her.
Nellie didn't go straight for the document, her heart was tight as she asked, "Why do you want to help me?"
Barney didn't answer her question immediately but stirred the coffee in his hand very elegantly, "You've had a bad time all these years."
At those words, Nellie's heart choked even harder.
She didn't expect Barney to point at her situation.
It seemed that no one ever cared whether she had a good life or not all these years. Whether it was the James family or Andre, the most attention was paid to what kind of mistakes she had made when she was young, as if those mistakes would keep her in them for the rest of her life and she would not be able to break free.
The only one who cared about her situation, apart from her grandmother, was Barney.
Just as Nellie was about to say something else, George's butler called in again, and it was clear that George's situation on the hospital was very bad.
Eventually, Nellie picked up the phone, "Hello."
"Lady Nellie, come to the hospital, this may be the last time Master will see you." The butler sounded tight.
Nellie closed her eyes, for the last time?
It seemed that he was really dying.
"Got it." After saying that, Nellie hung up the phone.
She wondered what George was going to say to her, they had rarely crossed paths over the years and but now he was so insistent on seeing her.
Grandma said he still carried some conscience.
But to Nellie, those were her mother's things, and his conscience was really disgusting.
"Thank you very much." Nellie picked up the document Barney had given her.
Now that the James family was almost entirely in the hands of Catherine and Hazel, these external supports were something she needed badly.
"It's rare that you're sober, go on." His tone was warm and doting.
Once, out of spite for her mother, she stayed out of all that.
But the truth behind this was so outrageous. So how exactly did those people eat it and how do they have to spit it out.
Not only will they have to spit it all out, they will have to pay the corresponding price they should pay.
