Chapter 488 Accept the Apology

“My mother hasn’t been feeling well recently. It’s just a small banquet, so I don’t want to

disturb her.”

Leia smiled adorably. “Mr. Felton, you are very considerate. You will definitely lead the

Felton family into prosperity.”

“Thank you.”

Ronian smiled faintly.

The servant who went upstairs to look for Jerry quickly ran back. “Mr. Felton, Mr. Jerry is

not in his room. I don’t know where he went. I can’t find him.”

Ronian’s face darkened, and he cursed in a low voice, “How come! Where could he go?

Hurry up and find him!”

“Yes.”

The servant turned and left.

Todd and Leia looked at each other.

Leia seemed to have realized something and quickly changed the topic. “Mr. Felton,

were you the one who arranged tonight’s banquet? The decorations are so exquisite.

Can 1 ask you for advice?

I might hold a banquet later as well.”

Todd followed and said, “What’s wrong, Mr. Felton? It’s such a good night. Why do you

seem unhappy?”

Ronian put away his sad expression and continued to smile politely.

Just as he was about to answer Leia’s question, Ronian saw Dewey rushing over.

“Mr. Felton!”

But Dewey was stopped by viola halfway. “Dewey, where’s Jennifer? Why haven’t I seen

her yet? She likes banquets the most.”

In front of viola, Dewey could only suppress his anxiety. “Jennifer must be dressing up in

her room. Mr. Felton bought her a pair of crystal earrings a few days ago. She’s probably

trying them on.”

“Is that so?” Viola said with a gentle smile.

“Yes, Mrs. Hobson. I have something urgent to tell Mr. Felton. Excuse me.”

Dewey moved two steps to the side, and Viola quickly followed, blocking his way so that

Roman could not see Dewey.

“Dewey, the Felton’s house is very huge. I can’t find Jennifer’s room. Can you take me

there?”

“I…”

Viola continued to persuade, “The other servants in the Felton’s house are all new here.

I don’t know a single one of them. Dewey, you are the kindest and nicest people I know

here. Meanwhile, Mr. Felton is busy greeting guests. If there is anything else, you can

talk about that after the banquet.”

Dewey was conflicted for a while before he turned his head to look at Ronian from afar.

Seeing that Ronian was speaking to Leia and Todd, Dewey could only give up.

“Alright, Mrs. Hobson. Please follow me.”

“Thank you.”

A minute later, Jerry slowly walked out of his room. He first stood by the entrance and

looked at the crowd in the garden. Finally, his gaze landed on Ormand.

Ormand seemed to have noticed something and looked back at Jerry.

Ronian started to feel impatient as Todd and Leia talked nonstop in front of him.

When he noticed Jerry, Ronian immediately dismissed Todd and Leia. Then Ronian

walked over calmly and asked, “What took you so long? Where did you go just now?”

Jerry lowered his head and replied in a submissive manner, “I don’t know what’s going

on. I had a stomach ache, so it took me a while in the toilet.”

Hearing that, although Roman was very dissatisfied, he knew it was inappropriate to

blame Jerry in front of so many people.

As he calmed himself down, Ronian continued, “How are the preparations going?

Tonight, you must only succeed. Failure is forbidden, understand?”

“Yes, Ronian. Don’t worry. I will make it work.”

Ronian seemed satisfied and snorted.

As soon as the banquet started, however, Ronian immediately put on his kind smile and

walked to the stage.

Viola, at the same time, got downstairs with Jennifer, who was finally dressed up.

Guests from rich families sat around the tables, and the garden was crowded.

Ronian gave a five-minute opening speech to warm up the banquet.

Meanwhile, Jerry stood quietly at the side and looked like an obedient servant.

Tonight was an official occasion. So Jerry had shaved off his beard and looked much

younger.

Although his rough skin made Jerry look pitiful and horrible, he was still quite handsome

under the dim light. It was not obvious, and yet everyone could sense that Jerry had

gone through lots of hardship.

At the end of his speech, Ronian requested Jerry to toast to the guests.

Ormand was the most powerful man present, so he was the first person to be toasted.

Jerry slowly walked to the table where Ormand sat. And Ronian followed behind Jerry

silently, as if Ronian was worried that Jerry would ruin everything.

“Mr. Hobson, there are too many misunderstandings between US. And it’s all because I

am so ignorant. Tonight, I apologize to you. I hope that you can accept my apology and

drink with me.”

Jerry smiled. He took the expensive red wine from a servant, who was standing behind

and holding a tray. Then Jerry poured a glass of wine for Ormand.

Some white powder was thrown into the wine as Jerry filled the glass. Almost no one

noticed, and all of the powder successfully went into the red and fragrant wine.

Ronian, who was right behind Jerry, saw everything but remained calm.

“Come on. Mr. Hobson, please drink this glass of wine, and let the past be the past.”

Ormand’s face was cold and indifferent. He didn’t say anything, completely ignoring

Jerry.

“Viola, since Mr. Hobson refused to accept my apology, and I heard that Mr. Hobson

always listened to you, could you please talk over Mr. Hobson, considering our friendship

over the years?” Jerry handed the wine glass to Viola instead.

Viola played the role of the peacemaker.

“Ormand, come on. It’s just a glass of wine. It doesn’t mean anything. Everyone here is

waiting for you to take that shot. If you don’t drink it, we will be stuck here forever.

“Drink it. Otherwise, you can drink half of it, and I will finish the rest.”

For the sake of viola, Ormand reluctantly agreed.

Jerry bowed respectfully and raised the glass of wine with both hands.

Ormand reached out to take it, but Viola interrupted and took the glass instead, she

drank half of the wine as they agreed.

While Viola was drinking, Jerry narrowed his eyes. Under the dim lights in the garden, no

one could see Jerry’s expression clearly, but everyone could feel that Jerry was rather

calm.

Ronian, however, frowned and sensed something wrong.

After Jerry finished greeting the guests at every table, Ronian pulled Jerry to a remote

and quiet corner and asked softly, “What did you do?”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jerry did not understand, “what do you mean?”

Ronian sneered. “I know you well. You have pursued Viola for a long time. How could

you watch her drink that glass of wine and remain indifferent?”

The white powder was an illegal drug from abroad, and it killed people in seconds.

Ronian wondered how Jerry could watch his beloved woman drink the deadly wine

without any intention of stopping her.

It caused Ronian to doubt Jerry instantly.

The guests in the garden, on the other hand, kept laughing and drinking. A few

bodyguards were guarding while Ronian had a secret chat with Jerry.

“You know what I am capable of. If you dare to fool me around, I can kill you this instant.

Don’t ever think that you’re safe as long as you are in the Felton’s house.” Ronian was

so angry that he immediately grabbed Jerry’s neck and tried to choke Jerry to death.

Jerry endured the suffocating pain and replied without changing his expression.

“I didn’t do anything. I just want both of them to die.”
