Nomsa went back to the Jarrett family's house by car. The servant saw her and said respectfully, "Lady Nomsa." She could understand the change in the servant's attitude. After all, Nomss was now the Emerson family's daughter-in-law, while Vicky was now involved in the scandal, which was very harmful for Vicky's reputation. "Are my parents at home?" Nomsa spoke slowly, with a good temper. The servant's attitude was softer, "Yeah,they're waiting for you in the study."
...
She stopped at the door of the study and didn't go in because of the study's conversation. "Vicky, why you are so hasty! If you have something to do, you can ask her to go home and discuss it. Now you've been photographed outside, and it's very difficult to deal with it." This was Lynn's voice.
Although his words were to scold Vicky, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Vicky's behavior. Vicky said bitterly, "I didn't know it would be like this. Daddy, it must have been designed by Nomsa in advance! Otherwise, how could I have happened to be photographed?" At this time, Karen was anxious to explain, "Vicky, I know Nomsa best. She was so stupid that she couldn't even pass the exam when she was a child. How could she do such a thing? She certainly didn't do it." "Stupid? Without the help of my father, she could be admitted to Hoover Film Academy by herself. Do you still think she is stupid?" Hoover Film Academy was one of the best art colleges in Chinaa. "She was just lucky. Vicky ,don't be angry..." Nomsa thought Vicky's words were right that Karen was really mean.
In that video, Vicky scolded Karen severely. But Karen was not angry with Vicky, and now she even tried so hard to please Vicky for fear that she will be fierce. Vicky was really angry about this incident. Usually, she just pretended to keep peace with Karen, but now she didn't want to pretend. She directly scolded, "Shut up. You are mean and useless, so is your daughter." Nomsa was about to push the door and walk in, but she stooped after hearing those words. She wanted to know Lynn's attitude. After a burst of silence, Lynn said in a deep voice, "Don't quarrel any more. Now, the most urgent thing is to deal with the scandal. Right, Nomsa Jarrett will be here soon." Because of the door, Nomsa couldn't see Karen's expression, but she knew that Karen's expression must be very interesting at this time .
After Lynn spoke, there was a moment of silence in the room again.
Nomsa adjusted her expression well, slightly lowered her head and opened the door. She looked around, dropped her eyes and whispered to them, "Dad, mom ." Then she looked at Vicky, "Sister. "
"Hum!" Vicky snorted coldly, and the expression on her face was also cold ,"Why are you standing so far? Come here!" Nomsa looked scared and walked slowly toward Vicky. Nomsa also looked at Karen habitually but Karen turned her head to one side directly and didn't look at her. Nomsa, looking frustrated, was about to sit down on the sofa. All of a sudden, Vicky stood up and slapped her. The sound was loud, reverberating in the study. Nomsa was badly hit, and she only felt pain in her face. She reached out to touch her face which was completely numb. Vicky was really cruel.
When Vicky saw her silly expression, she was still very angry and wanted to slap her again.
Nomsa narrowed her eyes, moved her hands and wanted to fight back. Just at this moment, Lynn, who had never spoken for a while, suddenly shouted, "Stop! Let's get down to business first."
"Daddy," Vicky looked at Lynn, "I get angry when I see her. If it wasn't for her , I wouldn't have been like this. A lot of friends have just sent messages asking me what's wrong with online news..." Lynn raised his hand to let Vicky not to worry .
In this family, Vicky followed Lynn's words most.
Lynn was the master of the family whose words were still authoritative. He frowned and looked at Nomsa, saying ,"Nomsa, do you know what's going on with video online? "
Nomsa just felt aggrieved. Just when she was outside the door, Lynn talked about herself and called her full name "Nomsa Jarrett," but now he called her "Nomsa." She raised her head and looked sad, with a soft voice,"Dad, I don't know how this happened..." At this point, she sobbed and sniffed, tears just coming out of her eyes.
However, she still tried to hold back the cry , and explained to Vicky with grievances, "Vicky, trust me! How could I do that kind of thing? How can I hurt you? We are family..." Vicky looked at Nomsa suspiciously, trying to find a trace of lying.
She had to turn her head and looked at Lynn.
Lynn was also watching Nomsa. He always felt that the daughter, whom he had never paid much attention to, seemed to have changed since the day she married into the Emerson family. But now, she was standing in front of him, still ugly and cowardly. Just as Vicky was about to slap her again, She didn't even want to escape. How could normal people react so slowly? In this way, Lynn believed most of her words. It was easy to control a fool. Lynn leaned back on the chair relaxed and said to Nomsa in a serious tone, "Yes, we are family, so we should put family first. Now those people on the Internet misunderstand your sister, and what you have to do is to clear up the misunderstanding." Was it a misunderstanding?
Vicky scolded her and Karen as bitches and dogs. They forced her to marry into the Emerson family. We're these misunderstandings? Yes, most of the businessman were snobbish and treacherous. Lynn was very good at counfounding black and white. Nomsa pretended to be startled and stared at Vicky worryingly, "Vicky, I will deal with it. Don't worry." Vicky smirked, with disdain flashing in her eyes. She was more obedient than a dog. Karen was not as optimistic as they were. She frowned slightly, always feeling that Nomsa was somewhat strange. Lynn showed a smile, and his voice was softer, "We're going to have a press conference and you can say what we want you to say." "I see." Nomsa nodded her head.
Lynn was satisfied with her attitude, "Well.Stay here and have dinner before you leave."
"OK." Nomsa droped her eyes, covering her sarcasm. Karen stood up and said, "I'll ask the servant to prepare the dinner." Vicky didn't look at her ,and Lynn just nodded at her.Karen was a little embarrassed, but she didn't say much more. As she passed by Nomsa, she stopped and whispered seriously, "Come out!" Lynn and Vicky had already sat together and now they were chatting in a whisper. Nomsa just glanced at them and followed Karen to leave the study.
Karen took Nomsa into her former bedroom. As soon as she closed the door, Karen looked at her solemnly, "Did you ask someone to take the video?" Nomsa was stunned. She didn't expect that Lynn believed her while Karen didn't believed her.In her impression, Karen was a weak and indecisive woman who completely dependent on Lynn and pinned all her hopes on Lynn.
"It was not me..." Nomsa shook her head like a drum-shaped rattle, her eyes clear and bright.
Indeed, Karen was a woman who didn't have her own judgement. But she was Nomsa's mother who could felt that this thing was not simple. Karen frowned and said in a serious tone, "Your father and sister trust you very much. Don't cheat them." When Karen was young, her family was poor. But Karen was beautiful and considerate, so Lynn married her. Nomsa didn't know anything when she was a child. But when she grew up, she realized that Lynn married Karen because he wanted a woman to take good care of his two children left by his deceased wife. Actually, Karen was just a babysitter who warmed the bed at the same time.She didn't know what kind of charm Lynn had that made Karen so committed.
"I'm a little hungry." Nomsa lowered her head. If she looked at Karen more, she was not sure what she would say. After Karen forced her to marry into the Emerson family, she could not stand Karen anymore. When Karen saw her like this, she felt that she had gone too far.She looked at Nomsa and softly said, "You go down first." After she married into the Emerson family, she didn't want to be involved with the Jarrett family any more, but she just wanted a quite life. However, those people of the Jarrett family didn't want to let her go. Well, just wait and see!
...
When she passed the study, she found that the door was half open and there was no one in the room. Did Lynn and Vicky go downstairs? As soon as Nomsa got to the stairway, she could hear someone talking downstairs. In addition to Vicky and her father voice, there seemed to be another man's voice. At this point in time, who else was in Jarrett's home? She walked down the stairs curiously.When she finally saw the man's face, she was stunned totally. Lynn had already seen her. He beckoned to her and said, "Nomsa, come here. Leonardo let his cousin pick you up."
Nomsa didn't expect to see "Douglas" in Jarrett's house, which made her so surprised. He was dressed in a fitting suit, which was very expensive. There was a smile on his handsome face. He sat there casually, but exuding a strong aura.
He probably felt her gaze, so she looked up at her, "Nomsa, Leonardo let me pick you up." Both his smile and his deep voice were ambiguous.
"Oh, I see, " Nomsa said. Vicky, however, seemed to think of something suddenly. She got close to Lynn and whispered something. As she spoke, she also glanced at Nomsa and she knew that Vicky must be speaking ill of her. Douglas took the opportunity to observe Nomsa. When he glimpsed her red and swollen face, he was a little angry and unconsciously clenched his hands on the armrest of the sofa.No matter how ugly she was, she was h... .... he never hit her. How could they dare slap her? Douglas glanced at Lynn and Vicky, and then looked at Nomsa, saying in a deep voice, "Come here!" Nomsa didn't really want to go there but Douglas's reckless style let Nomsa feel scared. She didn't know what he was doing here, so she decided to follow him first. She didn't believe Leonardo let "Douglas" pick her up.
When she sat down next to "Douglas," he just turned his head to look at her and said in a strange tone, "Nomsa, your face is so swollen that I can hardly recognize you." Nomsa remembered that she had been slapped by Vicky before, and her face had been swollen. Vicky slapped her so hard that she was numb with pain. Now, she almost forgot about it. When Douglas spoke, he took a look at Vicky and Lynn. Vicky had been a little afraid of the powerful aura of Douglas. At this time, when he asked about Nomsa's face, Vicky was a little scared and she immediately looked at Nomsa in a very unfriendly way. Nomsa showed a frightened expression, pursed her lips and explained to "Douglas", "I just fell down by accident." Such a poor lie could easy be exposed.
Douglas, squinting his eyes, leaned forward to Nomsa and said, "Is that true?"
Nomsa didn't dare to look at him, so she lowered her head and said, "Yes." Douglas sneered and stopped talking. Nomsa read something from his laughter :"You really don't know what is good for you." "Douglas" came here in the name of picking her up. From another angle, it also showed that Leonardo attached great importance to Nomsa.
No matter whether "Douglas" was sent by Leonardo or not, Nomsa knew that if she told "Douglas " that she was hit by Vicky, he would certainly stand out for her. Nomsa thought that she could handle the affairs of the Jarrett family well and, "Douglas" was too dangerous, so she didn't want to get too much involved with him.
Lynn was very satisfied with Nomsa's answer, and his tone became more gentle, "Mr Douglas came to our home specially. Let's have dinner together!" Douglas leaned back on the sofa and said casually, "OK." It was a special surprise for Lynn. Although "Douglas" was only a collateral relative of the Emerson family, it must be right to curry favor with him. Lynn picked up the phone which the servant handed over and left.Vicky felt a little uncomfortable, so she casually made an excuse to leave. Then, there were the only Nomsa and Douglas in the living room. Nomsa looked around, frowned and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
