Chapter 279

Ch. 279 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

Sara was so disgusted by him that he raised his hand and was about to prick him with a needle to wake him up. At this time, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded, "Frank! What are you doing?!"

A middle-aged woman with shining jewels strode over in an aggressive manner. If she held a knife in her hand, it would be enough to say that she came to kill people.

Her expression was ferocious as she stared at Frank and Sara. "Okay, you said that you were drunk and went to the bathroom... So you're here to hook up with some vixens! You two are adulterous... I'm going to tell the old madam that I want to divorce you!"

Frank immediately sobered up. Although he was ridiculous outside, and the red flag in his family was not arrogant outside, he was afraid of his wife. Although he was related to the Bishop family, his blood relationship had long been indifferent. The reason why he could come here today was because of his wife. He hurriedly said, "My wife, listen to me, it's not like this. When I came out of the bathroom, this woman took my hand and wanted to kiss me! I drank too much, so she grabbed me! Wife, you must believe me! I'm wronged!"

Frank was usually a good husband in front of his wife. Even though he was obstructing the power of the Bishop Clan, he didn't dare to say anything to Yael. Thus, Yael immediately believed her husband's words and fiercely glared at Sara.

Yael was a close relative of the old madam's family. Although she didn't look very good, she had a good rebirth. With Mrs. Bishop taking care of her, she was used to putting on airs. She opened her mouth and said, "Look at how young you are, you're quite capable! I'm telling you, I don't care how you managed to get in here, immediately get out of the capital. If I were to see you again, I'll let you know what it means to beg for death!"

Sara took back the silver needle on the tip of her finger. Her clear eyes showed a bit of coyness in the dim light. She looked delicate and pretty.

Yael was not as beautiful as others since she was young. She was extremely jealous when she saw this beautiful young lady, not to mention seeing such a stunning beauty. Her heart was filled with anger. She didn't know if it was because of her husband being seduced, or because of the beauty of this young lady in front of her. "What do you mean by this look of yours? You're not convinced?!"

Sara lowered her eyelashes and said faintly, "Madam, I didn't seduce your husband. He suddenly stopped me and said..."

Frank quickly interrupted her. "What nonsense are you talking about?! Why would I hold someone back? It's obvious that you saw me drunk and want to develop an improper relationship with me! Little girl, I love my wife very much, so you'd better not sow discord!"

He was full of righteousness and indignation, as if he was the one who had said Yael was not the one who refused to give up the egg hen.

Sara couldn't help but smile. "You know very well whether I'm trying to sow discord or not."

Frank's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed Yael's hand. "My dear wife, believe me! I really didn't! I'm innocent!"

Yael looked at the person beside her pillow. Compared to an unfamiliar girl with an unknown background and a beautiful appearance, she naturally trusted her husband. She immediately sneered and said, "Do you think that I won't pursue this matter if you talk nonsense here?! Go! Follow me to see the old madam! I'd like to see who has the guts to bring someone like you into the Bishop family!"

Although the old madam had taken good care of them, their status wasn't high enough. Thus, when Frank caused trouble, they only ate in the outer rooms and didn't see Sara. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to speak to Sara in such a manner.

Sara tilted her head. "Are you sure you want me to go?"

Yael sneered, "What, you don't dare?!"

"There's nothing I don't dare to do," Sara said. "Then let's go."

After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked ahead. Yael and Frank looked like two people who had made mistakes.

A gust of wind blew, and the air was filled with the fragrance of white tea. Behind the leaves, Sara slowly clenched her fingers and pulled them back.

He quietly gazed at Sara's back.

In just a month, she had changed a lot. If this had happened in the past, she would have stooped to compromise and did not dare to make it public. However, now that someone had guaranteed her safety, she was no longer overcautious and had her eyes shining brightly. She was no longer the kind of gentleness that he could get his hands on.

But it didn't matter. She would turn back sooner or later.

Returning to the main hall, what was on the table had already been removed. There was a tea set placed on it. Everyone was drinking tea and chatting. When Yael saw Mrs. Bishop, she immediately shed tears and walked to the old madam's side. She said, "Old madam, you have to uphold justice for me!"

Old Granny was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Yael was a relative of her parents' family. According to her seniority, Yael was supposed to call her aunt. She had taken good care of Yael in daily life, so she cared about Yael a little.

Yael cried, "I don't know which junior brought her in, but she's trying to climb up the ladder. She's actually waiting in the washroom. When she sees our Frank coming out, she's going to pester him! I spoke of her, but she's still so justified... I thought that today is the family head's birthday, so I shouldn't cause any trouble, but this woman really went too far... Boohoohoo, old lady, you must make a decision for me!"

Old Mrs. Bishop frowned and said, "Who is so ignorant as to bring such a frivolous woman here?" She put down the teacup in her hand and said coldly, "I have told you not to bring those messy people here. Who is so bold? Don't you put me in your eyes?"

Yael turned around and comforted Mrs. Bishop, "Old Madam, please don't be angry... It's all my fault... I shouldn't have blown this matter out of proportion..."

Old Mrs. Bishop said, "What does this have to do with you? You are right! Where is that woman? Where is she? I want to ask her what does she take my Bishop family for? Is it a place to fish for a dowry?!"

Yael sobbed and said, "It's, it's over there!"

The Old Madam suddenly had a bad feeling. Yael stretched out a hand and pointed, "That's her!"

The old lady: "..."

Everyone: "..." Everyone: "..." Everyone: "..."

On the table, someone coughed and said, "Yael, are you mistaken?"

Yael replied, "No! It's her!"

Frank also said quickly, "That's her! She caught me just when I went out of the bathroom. She tried to seduce me while I was drunk! If I didn't agree, she would have ruined my reputation!"

Yael grabbed Mrs. Bishop's hand and said, "Old Madam! You must help me!"

Old Mrs. Bishop was speechless. How the hell am I going to help you?! Why are you trying to provoke Sara?! Do you think you're courting death?
