Noble Husband At the Door novel Chapter 52

Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling about this. Has something terrible happened to the owner's family? Why would they suddenly close up shop without a single word otherwise?

After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that she was fuming. "What’s wrong?" he asked, smiling. "The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not praise you?"

Yvonne harrumphed icily. "Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did, Grandma just let him get away," she said. "All she did was tell him to go back home and reflect upon himself."

Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a bias toward Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to make an example of him. The words 'reflect upon himself’ sounded laughably ridiculous in this case.

Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Grandma Sue being partial toward Harvey-Yvonne had absolutely no standing in her eyes. It was because she had never considered Yvonne's feelings toward the matter.

She acted as if she had Yvonne by the short hairs. Did

she not fear that Yvonne came to an open break in relationship with the Sues? Such an arrogant old woman.

"Right. I only found out today that the man from yesterday was Johann. Why did he help me?" Yvonne stared at Samuel, questions sparking in her eyes. This matter was obviously connected to him.

"Uh...I spent some money to hire Johann,” Samuel replied coolly.

"Spent some money? How much?” Yvonne asked, curious.

"A hundred thousand."

"A hundred thousand!” Yvonne exclaimed, staring at him. This failure of a man actually spent another hundred thousand! That was worth an entire year of her salary.

Now that she thought about it though, it was likely that she would have fallen into Gareth’s hands yesterday if Johann had not made an appearance. Furthermore, she would have been defiled by Gareth. She felt a little better after she considered this.

"A rich man sure has money." Yvonne pressed her lips together, twisting them into a sour expression.

Samuel could not help but laugh. This sum was nothing but a drop in the bucket. She would get a heart attack if she knew how much credit he had in his card.
