Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 No Saving a Fool

“Don’t worry, Chief! Her title as Mrs. Hewitt is nothing but an empty shell. The Hewitts don’t care about her at all. I even called them. They’ll be sending someone soon, but there’s no way they’re here to back her up. Most likely, they think she’s embarrassed the family and they’re just here to clean up her mess. You don’t believe me? Just wait and ask the Hewitts yourself. It’s all over Starnet.”

Corey’s vision nearly went black. He felt a cold rush blast up his spine, and only one thought echoed through his head.

I’m finished.

This idiot is hopeless.

He’s going to ruin me.

Just then, Jeremy, who’d been standing quietly by the door, finally spoke up.

“Do you have a question for me?”

His voice stayed calm and gentle, but it chilled the room like a bucket of ice water dumped into a fryer. The whole interrogation room fell silent.

Jeremy shot Milhouse a look so frigid it could’ve frozen a bonfire, then turned to Elizabeth. His face, which had been calm, suddenly shifted to a look of pure respect and concern.

He stepped forward and gave a small bow, his tone full of regret.

“Mrs. Hewitt, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

Elizabeth stood up, her smile easy and composed. “Jeremy, I’m fine. This is just my first time dealing with police like this. It’s been eye–opening.”

Her words came out almost quietly, but Corey’s knees nearly buckled. He almost collapsed right there.

Milhouse either didn’t get it or just refused to believe his own eyes. He stared at Jeremy, then blurted out to the chief, “Chief, this is-”

Corey gritted his teeth.

“That’s the Hewitts‘ head butler, Jeremy.”

Milhouse felt like something just exploded in his skull. He looked from Jeremy’s unreadable face to the chief’s stormy glare, then back to Elizabeth, who stood there calm as ever.

Finished

A wave of cold terror finally crashed through his thick arrogance.

“Mr. Jeremy…” Milhouse’s voice shook, and his face lost every bit of color. “I… I didn’t mean it like that… I…”

Right then, he finally realized the trouble he’d landed himself in.

Jeremy’s attitude toward Elizabeth wasn’t dismissive at all.

He clearly valued her deeply.

All those nasty things Milhouse had said and guessed–he’d been dancing on a cliff edge.

Milhouse scrambled over to Elizabeth, completely losing his composure. Tears filled his eyes as he bowed over and over.

“Mrs. Hewitt! I’m sorry! I was blind! I lost my mind! Please, you’re a generous person; let me off this once! I swear I’ll never do it again!”

Elizabeth watched him grovel, her face calm—no anger, no gloating, just a cold, distant clarity.

“Mr. Wardenfold, you don’t need to apologize. I’m not after personal revenge. I won’t hold a grudge against you.”

Milhouse’s eyes sparked with a tiny sliver of hope. “Then… what would you like me to do?”

Elizabeth’s gaze swept over him, a hint of mockery in her voice. “You’re a cop. Why are you asking me what to do? Just do your job. Fair and square. That’s your duty, isn’t it?”

“Fair and square?” Milhouse blinked, totally lost. “How… how do I do that? Mrs. Hewitt, if you’ve got any requests, just say the word. I’ll do whatever you want!”

Corey nearly fainted on the spot.

You absolute buffoon!

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He stormed over and snapped Milhouse on the back of the head, shouting, “You idiot! Don’t you get it? She means you follow the law. You do what the Kingdom’s rules say. If someone’s in the wrong, you punish them. If someone breaks the law, you arrest them. No special treatment, no covering up the truth, and no twisting things. That’s it!”

He huffed, still glaring, and jabbed a finger at Milhouse’s face. “With that brain and attitude, you’ve got no business on the front lines. Once this is over, pack your stuff and go work in records. Don’t mess things up out here again!”
