Gritting his teeth, Ronald scowled, “She’s not awake yet?” We’re in big trouble now. How can she still be sleeping?
At that moment, Ronald was filled with remorse and anger as he blamed himself for spoiling Lynette in the normal days, resulting in her arrogance and recklessness.
Burning with rage, Ronald walked to Lynette’s room and knocked forcefully on the door.
However, there was no response from inside after a few knocks, and so Ronald had reached his limit and started kicking the door. After a while, Lynette finally responded.
Sluggishly waking up in the bed, she rubbed her eyes and grumbled, “Who’s raising hell out there? You better watch out! I’m going to ask my dad to fire you!”
Lynette had barely slept last night as she was busy posting Janet’s scandals online. Now that she had been woken up so early in the morning, she was pissed off, thinking that the servants were being more and more insensible.
Just then, a deep male voice emerged from outside. “It’s me!”
Hearing that, Lynette immediately became sober and sprang out of the bed to open the door for Ronald.
“What’s gotten into you, Dad? I’m so tired.”
Rubbing her eyes, Lynette yawned languidly.
Ronald was infuriated by her behavior and yelled, “How dare you ask me? Don’t you know what you have done?!”
Lynette had never seen Ronald so outraged before. Looking perplexed and aggrieved, she mumbled pitifully, “Dad, why are you raising your voice at me?”
What have I done? I’ve not done anything!
Clenching his fists, Ronald kept his shirt on and rebuked coldly while gritting his teeth, “Are you the one who posted Janet’s scandals on Woodsbury University’s forum?”
Stunned, Lynette’s fingers started trembling involuntarily as she looked at Ronald’s frigid glare.
She was dumbstruck for a few seconds before she regained her composure and raised her voice as a result of guilt. “Scandal posts? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Dad.”
Ronald glared at Lynette with his cold eyes while she feigned an innocent look, as if she had nothing to do with the incident at all.
With a darkened face, Ronald asked impatiently, “Then why would Mr. Lowry contact me to complain that you’re the one who slandered Janet?”
“Mason told you so?” Lynette frowned. “This is strange. I’ve not posted anything on the forum and I would never slander Janet!”
Initially, Ronald was a hundred percent convinced that Lynette was the culprit behind this, but now that he saw her aggrieved expression, he started doubting his judgment.
Meanwhile, their arguments had attracted the servant’s attention from downstairs.
They could clearly hear the conversation between the father and the daughter. At first, they didn’t intend to meddle, but as the quarrel heated up, they decided to mediate between them.
The butler who had been serving them for many years spoke up. “Mr. Shields, Miss Shields is not someone who would do this type of thing.”
Although Lynette is haughty and domineering most of the time, she doesn’t seem like someone who would commit these evil acts.
Following that, a few other servants stood out to defend Lynette too.
“Exactly, Mr. Shields. I believe in Miss Shields. Please investigate further lest your relationship with each other be broken.”
“Though Miss Shields is rather ill-tempered, she wouldn’t have the nerve to do such wicked things that would harm others.”
“Why don’t you put it aside first, Mr. Shields? It’s not too late to make a judgment call after a thorough investigation.”
