Chapter 28: Kneel Over There!
Bella dared not look into Jun Chester’s cold gaze, only murmuring in her heart. Shame? In front of Jun Chester, she felt like her life was at stake. What was the use of feeling shame? If shame could save her life, she’d do anything!
However, when she thought of the conversation between Jun Chester and the elder, Bella didn’t even have the courage to complain silently. She had initially thought that David Chester’s ability to chat and drink with Cyand’s minister was shocking enough. And now? The elder who had slapped Cyand’s minister in front of the whole world had become a typist in front of Jun Chester! Although it was just a joke, when had she ever seen the Supreme Lord of Lordran make jokes?
One word could describe Bella’s feelings: exhausted. Jun Chester was too terrifying, and if she continued to oppose him, she’d only be on a path to death. To survive now, she had to shamelessly cling to him. What did she have to fear? She would try everything first.
With that thought, Bella’s eyes reddened again, and her tears came easily. Her voice was as pitiful as a wronged young girl. “Jun Chester, look, we’re family. You’re Lord Chester, and you’re bullying me like this; people will talk! Moreover, not only am I your wife’s sister, but I’m also your stepmother. You can’t treat me like this. After all, I’m just covering for them; who should really be behind bars are Pete and Edric. Why don’t you go after them? Why are you always picking on me? Even if we take a step back, though I don’t like your son, I sent him to school. Otherwise… he wouldn’t have been able to attend the same school as Ann.”
Jun Chester still looked coldly at Bella. This woman had no shame! However, at that moment, the elder who had just left returned. He saw Bella crying in front of Jun Chester and was taken aback. But he obviously misunderstood something. After all, the two had been apart for seven years, and it was normal for this woman, as Jun Chester’s wife, to feel a bit wronged.
Seeing the elder again, Bella quickly wiped the tears from her face and turned her head away, forcibly calming her emotions. At the same time, she was extremely afraid. She was worried that Jun Chester would reveal her true identity to the elder. She had already lied to the elder, claiming to be Jun Chester’s wife. How embarrassing!
Bella had intended to flee, but she still wanted to hear why the old man had returned after leaving. Jun Chester was also somewhat puzzled as to why the old man had not yet departed. The old man cleared his throat and spoke to Jun Chester.
“The prescription… you haven’t given it to me yet.”
Jun Chester responded nonchalantly, “I’ll send it to your personal cell phone later.”
Upon hearing this, Bella’s heart trembled. Jun Chester actually had the Supreme Lord’s personal phone number? Could they really make phone calls?
But Jun Chester’s next words shocked Bella even more.
“Forget it, I’ll send it to your daughter’s phone instead. That girl followed me for so many years and never said a good word about you. I might as well take this opportunity to make her worry about you.”
The old man’s face darkened with displeasure.
“What has she said about me?”
Jun Chester spoke indifferently, “Nothing much. She’s only met you a handful of times since she was little. She complains that you’re too busy, and whenever you meet, you don’t act close like a normal father and daughter. It’s your fault too. Every time you meet, you just point fingers and criticize her, saying this isn’t good, that isn’t good. How can she say anything nice about you?”
The old man’s face twitched. It was a harsh reality.
The old man took a deep breath, his tone quite dissatisfied.
“I thank you for that!”
Jun Chester waved his hand dismissively.
“No need. In the end, she’s also my student. I don’t want to see her at odds with you.”
The old man became even more discontented.
“If it wasn’t for you encouraging her to join the army back then, would she have gone through so much? It’s been seven years, and she’s always thought you were dead. She was just a young girl, but because of you, she has guarded the frigid northern border for seven years!”
“All these years, she hasn’t gone back. Every winter, her face can be frozen and cracked!”
Jun Chester fell silent.
The old man complained about Jun Chester because, besides being a Supreme Lord, he was also a father. From the perspective of a Supreme Lord, having a daughter become a general in such a vast country was truly a great blessing. But…
He couldn’t help but feel heartache.
Thinking of this, the old man urged Jun Chester.
“Give her a call and tell her to return to Aytwhistdon as soon as possible. I miss her.”
With that, the old man turned and left once more.
It was as if he was fleeing.
Helpless, he was getting old and found it difficult to express his feelings for his youngest daughter.
Jun Chester watched the old man’s retreating figure.
“Let me walk you out.”
“There’s no need for your insincere gestures!”
Jun Chester was momentarily at a loss for words. Bella, standing nearby, was almost in shock. Only then did she realize why Jun Chester had been walking side by side with the old man. It turned out that the old man’s daughter was actually Jun Chester’s disciple! Upon realizing this, how could Bella dare to cause trouble for Jun Chester? She turned around and knelt before Jun Chester once more. Her red lips slightly parted, and her posture was as low as the dust.
“Jun Chester, I admit, over the years, I have exploited those national treasures to make a lot of money and maintain many connections!”
“I am willing to make amends and return everything to you!”
“Please spare my life. After all, I am a mother. If I were to be imprisoned, I couldn’t bear it!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Jun Chester couldn’t be bothered with Bella and coldly pointed to the three words previously written by the old man.
“If you want to kneel, go kneel over there. If those three words disappear, I’ll hold you responsible!”
Bella seemed to see hope. However, just as she was about to get up, the people she had seen earlier came out of the villa not far away. When they saw Bella kneeling in front of Jun Chester, they were all dumbfounded. But they didn’t even dare to approach and fled in panic.
Next, Jun Chester left Chester Fortress. He planned to find a studio on Fifth Avenue. He hoped to create a rubbing of the “Lordran National College” that the old man had written down, preserving the charm of the calligraphy to the greatest extent possible! On his way, Jun Chester hesitated repeatedly but did not call the Supreme Lord’s daughter. Instead, he sent a text message containing a prescription for the old man.
Upon arriving at Fifth Avenue, Jun Chester was about to enter an ordinary-looking studio. He heard a commotion coming from not far away.
“Get lost, you bastard! Let your granny sign this damn agreement!”
“Otherwise, I hope you won’t regret it!”
The one shouting was a blond young man. In front of him were four snarling dogs, baring their fangs and barking wildly. In front of the vicious dogs were a little boy and a woman in her fifties. The little boy was standing in front of the woman, his small face filled with fear, but he didn’t back down.
“You’re the bastard! My dad is Jun Chester!”
“Get lost if you know what’s good for you. If my dad shows up, you’ll all be dead!
