Fiona was annoyed inside. Instead of hurting Kourtney, she was being blamed for today's events.
Nate stepped forward at this time and said, "Guys, excuse me. I was the one who accidentally touched these reagents earlier. And then Kourtney was just helping me organize it, but that student just happened to see it. It has nothing to do with her at all. I've just spoken to the school, I caused it, and I'm responsible for all the damages." He continued, "Classes will be starting soon. Please stop focusing on this matter. I've already asked the teachers to re-prepare the materials and equipment needed for class."
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned. Was the truth really like that? Why had he been silent all this time only to suddenly admit that
Kourtney returned to the classroom and the original student with the stomach ache came up to her and looked at her apologetically."Kourtney, I'm sorry! I didn't realize it would turn out like this."The classmate had come to her for help after class, and Bella had walked out of the classroom just after class had ended. It was impossible to overhear their conversation by chance.If no one had planned, how could Bella have known that she would definitely go to the lab first and set a trap there early?If Jeff hadn't been there today, if he hadn't pressured that student, I'm afraid, she would still be under investigation in the security department.Kourtney glanced at the classmate and saw the slightly flustered look on her face and she understood everything. "Are you trying to say that everything is a coincidence? That it was a coincidence? You don't need to answer me, just go away."The classmate turned away in embarrassment.Bella didn't come to class until the end of the school day.
On the way back to her apartment, Kourtney kept staring at the wooden box in her hand.It took a long time before she finally opened the box.Inside were combs, jewelry, and other things that had gotten old.These were things that her mom used to use, but sadly, she was no longer around.She was about to put the box back together when she accidentally bumped into a board, and there was a space at the bottom.It was a few sheets of paper. Because they had been placed so little, those papers had already yellowed.Just as she was about to open the papers, her phone rang. It was Elijah's housekeeper calling."Butler, what's the matter?""Missy, please come back to Elijah's house."Kourtney asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong with Grandpa?"The butler stammers, "You'd better come back."Hanging up the phone, Kourtney said, "I need to go back."Jeff was about to re-enter when his cell phone rang. An anxious voice came over the line, "There's been a landslide at the construction site on
Jeff drove, all the way to Elijah's house.He had someone check and the last place Kourtney's cell phone signal disappeared was at Elijah's house. So, she should still be here, which is where she disappeared.The security guard at the gate saw a stranger coming and asked loudly, "Who is it? Private homes are not to be entered without an invitation."Jeff walked up grimly and grabbed him by the collar, "Open the door!"The security guard was startled by Jeff, taking a closer look, wasn't this the man who came with Ms. Kourtney during the day? "This gentleman, did Miss Kourtney invite you here?""Yes, don't believe me, give her a call yourself?"Looking at the confident expression on the man's face, he stopped doubting and opened the door.The car drove on a little further and saw the building in front of him. He stopped. Opening the door, several bodyguards got out of the car and little Lucky jumped out. A couple of the buildings had no lights on at all, and it was pitch black. Scared,
Old Mrs. Elijah had been worried that Jeff's people would find Kourtney. however, she was relieved to see that they had searched for half a day and found nothing. She had a smug smile on her face.Old Mr. Elijah looked at her angrily. "Where the hell did you hide someone?""Where could I hide her?" old Mrs. Elijah said sarcastically, "I called her over and tried to teach her some rules, but she was very rude and didn't want to listen to me teach. And left.""You mean, she left?""Yep! She didn't want to see me as a grandmother at all. I didn't want to see her either. Where the hell she went, I don't know."Bella ran over and said, "I heard her arguing with Grandma, and then later she left."Kourtney was now being kept in the cellar. At this time, Grandma didn't want Jeff to find her. She has suffered so much over the years. She was going to get back at Kourtney hard. It was better that they never find her.Jeff said, "But you just said that you shut her down.""I forgot. I'm old. Bad
Seeing Jeff bringing Kourtney up from the cellar, old Mr. Elijah hurriedly greeted him and anxiously called, "Kourtney, wake up and look at Grandpa."Seeing that Kourtney had fainted, old Mr. Elijah was even more anxious. "What's wrong with her?""It could be poisoning or lack of oxygen, I will take her to the doctor right away." Jeff held Kourtney in his arms, and with no expression on his face, he approached old Mrs. Elijah, who was always so proud of herself, but she was so scared that she took a few steps back."What are you doing?""Where's Kourtney's stuff, hand it all over!"Old Mrs. Elijah said, "Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that?"Jeff struggled to keep his emotions in check, "My patience is at an end, and even if you are Kourtney's grandmother, I will show no mercy if you piss me off.""Just you?"Before Old Mrs. Elijah could finish her sentence, Elijah's family bodyguard suddenly blocked in front of her.Seeing this scene, the Howard family bodyguards also sto
The last time she went to him for her mother's relics, he said the same thing. Now, her own grandmother wanted to kill her, and his grandfather still advised her to bear it. The reason for this would also have to wait until she was an adult to be told."Why not now, but as an adult?"Old Mr. Elijah let out a long sigh, "Now is not the time.""Fine, then I'll wait until I'm an adult." Kourtney said with a grimace, "But the next time she makes a move on me, I won't be polite.""Don't worry, Grandpa will keep an eye on her and won't let her mess up again," old Mr. Elijah assured her.Seeing Kourtney blush a little, old Mr. Elijah looked toward the door and asked, "Jeff is a member of the Howard family, did you know that?""What Howards?""You didn't seem to know. The bodyguard that day was a special Howard family bodyguard, someone specially trained by the family. Last night, he came to take you away. No wonder, when I asked him to quit his job yesterday, he didn't agree. I will continue
Meanwhile, Jeff received a call from Nate."Uncle Jeff! Did you do what I asked you to do for me last time?""What was it?"Nate hurriedly reminded him, "About my classmate Benjamin's mother, that subordinate in your company who broke up other people's marriages, did you fire him?"Jeff asks, "Do you really want to meet Soul Racer?"Nate: "I really want to see him, Uncle Jeff, just help me out for on
The next morning, Kourtney leaves the hospital. Then she got a call from Brittany saying she was also at the hospital and asked them to pick her up.The hospital elevator was crowded, and Kourtney and Jeff had just gotten in when they were pushed into a corner by a group of people behind them, and Jeff stood in front of her, blocking the people from getting in. One person tried to squeeze in and Jeff just turned and hugged her.His chest was broad and firm, with the charm of a mature man. She hugged him tightly as well. Since no one could see, she slowly slid her hand down and sneaked a touch of his 'big' and it immediately reacted, hardening. She quickly pulled her hand away. She didn't wan
