"Oh? Is that true? I don't even know that." Edmund pretended to be confused and snorted. He looked at Terence and smiled.
"Of course!" Leo immediately understood and echoed his grandfather. "That day, Hester was in the yard to breathe some fresh air. Mr. Terence seemed to be drunk, and his behavior was somewhat offensive. It happened that Derek and I saw it, so we taught him a lesson. Now I think about it, I am indeed a little impulsive!"
His words were polite, but in fact, they was laughing at Terence. He molested other people's fiancee and cousin like this, and it was really kind of polite not to maim him.
Edmund's face darkened and he looked at Terence discontentedly. "Mr. Terence, is that true?"
Terence straightened up and nodded. "I was too impulsive that day. Please forgive me, Grandpa Edmund!"
"Huh! I can't afford your apology!" Edmund snorted and looked sullen. "Mr. Terence is a rare young talent in the younger generation, so you don't have to take me seriously."
"Grandpa Edmund, it's not like that." Terence was anxious, watching the situation deviate from the previous track and go in an unpredictable direction.
His purpose of coming here today was to cancel Hester's engagement, so as to fight for some possibilities for him to be together with her.
On the other side, Hester stayed in her room and looked at the small garden outside the window. She tapped her fingertips gently on the windowsill and raised her eyebrows. "It's so boring!"
If it went on like this, she almost doubted that she was going to mold. If it weren't for her grandfather's health, she would have gone out to work in her law office.
Everyone in the Liu family was capable enough to feel that they had taken over all her tasks.
Sheryl had resigned from the position of special assistant of Qi Group, so she rushed to her law office happily and began a new journey.
Hester had also asked her whether she had learned anything related to law in a trembling voice, but she just said lightly, "no!" So Hester was finally speechless.
She walked back and forth in the room and clapped her hands. She decided to go out to have a look!
"Hardy? What's up?" As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hardy standing at the door of her room like a stone statue.
He smiled and nodded slightly. "Miss Hester, you don't look well, so I want to ask you if you want to eat the white fungus and lotus seed soup. I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you!"
Hester frowned in bewilderment and touched her face. She felt that she had gained some weight, but why did he still think that she didn't look well?
However, Hardy did it out of kindness, so she couldn't be ungrateful!
"Thank you for your concern, Hardy. I want to go to the law office. Sheryl is there alone. I'm afraid she will be tired!"
"Miss Sheryl's working ability is obvious to all. You can rest assured!" Hardy said with a smile. "Miss Hester, you'd better have a good rest!"
"Well..." The smile at the corners of Hester's mouth was very stiff. It was not because she was ungrateful, but because she had stayed in her room for a long time, and she would inevitably be tired!
"Hardy, just let me go! Staying in my room every day will make me sick!"
