Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 55

Words were on Jacob's lips but Jacob didn't know how to say them.

'Would it be deliberate to say it like this?'

'Would she think that Mr. Jones asked me to say it?'

After thinking it over, Jacob did not say.

'She shall slowly realize it.'

Jacob smiled. "You're smart. I really have something to do here."

He raised his chin and motioned Arya to look at the kitchen. "Nanny Joy is my aunt. I am afraid she

won't be used to it as she just comes here, so I come to take a look."

Xavier asked him to find a reliable servant. He didn't dare to use strangers, so he asked his own aunt

to come over.

Nanny Joy was his aunt who had no children. She got married once when she was young. That man

had an affair. She got divorced and never got married again.

She didn't believe in marriage, nor did she believe in men.

Since she was older, she was even less willing to look for a man.

She had been a servant for a long time, and Jacob had tried to persuade her not to do this many times.

With Jacob's income, it was completely possible for him to support her.

But she didn't want Jacob to do that. She wanted to earn a living on her own, so Jacob had to obey her.

This time, Jacob asked her to come over. One reason was that Arya's identity shall be kept a secret,

and the other reason was that Xavier wanted a reliable servant to serve Arya.

"Then I'll go up first. You guys can talk."

Jacob only said that as he couldn't find an excuse temporarily. When he came, Nanny Joy didn't let him

say that they knew each other.

Nanny Joy didn't want her employer to treat her differently because of Jacob.

She was here to get paid for her work, and she didn't want to owe anyone anything.

Also, she didn't want people to know about her relationship with Jacob.

Although Jacob was an assistant, he had a lot of power. Jacob also worked for Xavier. She didn't want

anyone to know that Jacob's aunt worked as a servant.

She was afraid of bringing shame to Jacob.

So when Jacob came in, she didn't even take a look at him and just did her own thing.

Jacob didn't say anything more and simply greeted, "I'm leaving."

"Take your time, Jacob." Nanny Joy answered with a smile.

Jacob sighed slightly.

He knew his aunt's personality best. He knew that she was keeping a distance from him as she even

spoke to him in a businesslike manner.

In the Harrison Family's house.

Marshal rarely came back. There were only Harriet, Estella, and Richard at the table.

Richard was naturally unhappy. "What is Marshal doing every day? He doesn't even come home

once?"

"Calm down. He has his things to do, so don't worry about it." Estella pampered her son, so she

pleaded for him.

"The company will be handed over to him soon. How can I rest assured if he is like this?" Richard

couldn't help but raise his voice.

Richard was disappointed with Marshal. Marshal used to know to be filial and obedient to him.

But now, Marshal didn't take him seriously at all.

Estella saw that Richard was unhappy. She got up to give him a massage on his back. She persuaded,

"Don't be angry. Be responsible for your own health. If you get angry, you have to suffer the

consequences on your own. The children are grown up. They have their own world and their social

hubs. Their thoughts and horizons are definitely different from the men's of our age."

Richard snorted coldly. "Don't think I don't know. Each of them has grown up and became independent,

then they don't take me seriously anymore."

"What are you thinking? No matter what, you are always their father. Who dares not take you

seriously?" Estella winked at his daughter. "Get your father a glass of water to calm his anger."

Harriet was still thinking about what Daisy said, and the more she thought about it, the more strange

she felt Daisy's words were.

If Arya was really a relative of the Jones Family, why would she call Xavier instead of Mr. Jones?

And what Daisy said was obviously an explanation.

It was like a very poor lie that revealed the truth.

"Harriet, get your father a glass of water." Estella emphasized. "What are you thinking? You are so

absorbed?"

"Mom, do it yourself." Harriet was upset. She got even more annoyed by Estella's words. She got up

and went upstairs.

"Alas, you..."

"Is this your good daughter?" Richard slapped his chopsticks on the table in anger and stood up

instantly.

How disrespectful she was to him!

Estella also became angry. "What's wrong with my daughter? If I didn't raise a good daughter, how

could our family be what it is today?"

Estella became more and more agitated and she sneered. "Your ex-wife is better? She gave birth to a

useless thing. Her daughter did nothing good to the Harrison Family and also went to jail..."

Richard's face turned red and his chest heaved rapidly in anger.

Pointing at Estella, Richard said, "Are you trying to make me die in anger?"

"I don't want to. If you die, I won't have a husband."

"You... You clearly want to piss me off!" Richard's expression was particularly gloomy. Estella was

shocked as she saw Richard's expression. She did not dare to argue with him anymore. "Okay. Fine.

I'm not a good mother and wife, okay? Don't be angry."

Richard threw Estella's hands away and looked at her coldly. "Hypocritical."

Then he entered the room and slammed the door.

With a "Bang", Estella stood in the living room and came back to her senses.

Her expression became sullen. 'I did everything I could to make the Harrison Family better but Richard

became angry with me?'

The corner of Estella's mouth twitched in anger and she cursed, "Ingrate people!"

At this moment, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Estella was still angry. This untimely call made

her even angrier, and her tone was especially bossy. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? Of course, I want to send you my concern."

Estella frowned. "Who are you?"

"You forgot so quickly, Mrs. Harrison. Indeed, great wits have short memories."

Estella suddenly remembered who the other party was and said coldly, "We're even. Why are you

calling?"

"I'm short of money."

Estella became extremely angry.

"I've already given you the money. Don't call me again." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After that, she was about to hang up the phone. Just as she was about to hang up, the other party said,

"If you're not afraid that I'll expose the deal between you and me, then don't give the money to me."

Estella's expression changed instantly. That deal must be kept a secret.

Harriet was about to get married to Xavier.

If the thing that she framed someone up was exposed, how could the Jones Family not look down upon

her?

Could Xavier and Harriet still get married?

Estella calmed down. "Do you think others will believe in your words?"

"If I release the recording of the conversation we had when we made the deal, do you think it's a little

convincing?"

Estella was furious. "What do you mean?"

'He actually got something on me?'

'Is it premeditated to blackmail me?'

"If you want me to shut up, give me the money."

Estella gritted her teeth in anger. "Do you know who I am? How dare you blackmail me?"

"Who are you?" Howard, who spoke on the other end of the phone, found Estella's words funny. 'What

background does Estella have as she dared to talk in such an arrogant way?'

"Do you know Xavier? That's my future son-in-law. Do you believe that I ask him to send you all to

prison?" Estella rode on Xavier's coattails without hesitation.

Howard really didn't know how he should respond to Estella's words.

Estella said these words in an imposing manner. But Estella didn't know that the one who wanted to

f*ck her up was her future son-in-law.

"If you want to tell Xavier, hurry up. If you don't give me a million at nine o'clock tomorrow, I'll let the

whole of W City know about the deal in less than a day."

After saying that, Howard hung up the phone. He was much more arrogant than Estella.

Hearing the "Beep", Estella couldn't come back to her senses for a moment.

'Did he not hear what I said?'

'How did he still dare to threaten me?'

She felt that the other party must haven't heard her words clearly.

So she called back. "Do you know the Jones Family in the W City? Xavier is my future son-in-law!"

Estella was afraid that Howard wouldn't be able to hear her words clearly, so she spoke word by word.

"I'm not deaf. I don't have to say it so many times. Get the money ready at nine tomorrow, or you'll be

famous."

The phone was hung up again.

Estella stood on the spot stiffly.

'What goes wrong?'

'Why aren't they afraid at all?'

'A million?'

'Why don't they go to rob the bank?'

Estella trembled with anger. 'What should I do? No one should know about the deal.'

But she couldn't bear to take out a million.

She didn't have much case-dough and she had already given them 0.3 million last time.

Richard would immediately know if she spent other money.

Estella stomped on the ground in anxiety.
