“Yes, you just want everyone in the world to respect your Uncle Jacob.”
“You didn’t say it before. How could I know that you suspected Uncle Jacob had touched the paternity test sample?”
“I didn’t tell you, why do you think so? Did that sample pass through the hands of dozens or hundreds of people? No, only three parties have touched the sample. Eric shouted injustice and was fired. The appraisal center couldn’t find the result. You also let people set up the appraisal center, but Jacob, who touched the sample, didn’t do anything. In the eyes of all of you, Jacob is a good man. He is a good man who can’t do anything wrong. Since the facts are in front of you and you don’t want to think about it, what’s the use of telling you? ”
Krista’s words left me speechless.
Yeah, I really never thought about it that it could be Uncle Jacob.
After all… we trust him so much.
“Krista, Uncle Jacob has worked in the Fischer family for half his life. He is even an old hero of the Fischer group. My grandparents are taken care of by him in every possible way. My life is also picked up by him from the pond. He is kind to our family. I don’t doubt him. It is really because of trust.”
Krista’s pov
Yes, I knew from the beginning how important Jacob was to the Fischer’s mansion.
When I first met Jacob, Cheney reminded me to respect him.
Now, I’m testifying against Jacob in front of people who trust him so much.
But even if I testify, they won’t believe it.
My heart felt a little tight.
No wonder Jacob was so arrogant that he even told me to complain to the Fischer family.
It turns out that he is certain, and even if I say something, no one will believe me.
I don’t know why, but even if people all over the world don’t believe me, I won’t be sad.
But when it comes to Cheney, if he does not believe me, I will be really, really, really sad.
I looked at him, shook my head and smiled bitterly. “Yeah, you trusted Jacob. I knew it from the beginning.”
“Krista…”
I interrupted loudly, “I can allow Jacob to target me, but I can’t accept him touching my son. No, people all over the world can’t touch my son. Romeo is my life.”
“This matter cannot be confirmed at present that Uncle Jacob did it.” He held my shoulders with both hands, which were a little heavy.
“Krista, there are some things that are about evidence.”
“So?” I was a little annoyed. I earned twice and didn’t break away. “Cheney, what are you trying to say?”
“What I want to say, you will soon understand. Everything must be spoken with evidence. Your suspicion cannot become evidence to convict a person.”
I exhaled, “Everyone thinks you Cheney is magical and hand-eye, but, under the Fischer’s mansion, right under your nose, your son was almost killed, but you said you wanted me to produce evidence? You are such a powerful big shot but can’t produce evidence, so how can I get it? I suspect who did that is Jacob, but can you allow me to investigate?”
“Why can’t I allow it? Krista, don’t get mad, listen carefully to me. Once people habitually trust another person, it is difficult to doubt the other person. Just like Uncle Jacob. For so many years, he has been around us and accumulated too much affection for us. But you are different. Uncle Jacob has no kindness to you. You won’t believe in Uncle Jacob as much as we do. You will look at Uncle Jacob differently from us. Since you have doubts about Uncle Jacob in the first place, why didn’t you tell me? In your eyes, am I a person who can’t listen to other people’s opinions, especially yours?”
I was stunned. What does this mean?
Cheney continued, “The analysis you just made is really good. I checked everyone in the paternity test, but I only put aside Uncle Jacob. Because I don’t believe Uncle Jacob would do such a thing, I automatically erased his suspicion. You should tell me, so that I can think of this matter and then investigate, understand?”
“You… you believed me?”
I’m a little suspicious. Wasn’t that what I understood?
“Why should I not believe you?” He spread out his hands, somewhat helpless. “Since you put forward different opinions, I will check it out. There is nothing wrong with it, is there?”
I clasped my hands. “I thought…”
Cheney said, “I have taken your doubts to heart. I have started to investigate by some means now, but you should know that everything must be based on evidence, right?”
I nodded to him.
With Cheney to help me investigate, I feel… It seems that I have the most powerful helper, and my mood is much lighter.
I cut vegetables, and Cheney accompanied me.
“You should improve your ability to hide emotions in the future.”
I don’t understand him. So I asked, “What do you mean?”
“You write all your emotions on your face, so one can see who you regard as your enemy clearly. If that was the case, they would know and it could easily startle the suspect.”
I said, “Who told you that I had a problem with Jacob, which started with the paternity test?”
“Your face?”
“Of course not,” I raised my eyebrows. “I’m not as stupid as you say.”
“Oh? Then tell me when you started.”
I shrugged. “Do you remember when Flora and I were making a cake together and she got scalded by a container?”
Cheney nodded. “Of course, you were misunderstood by many people at that time.”
“At that time, you dismissed the servant in the kitchen, and Jacob came to me, hoping that I could help intercede with her in front of you, but I was so badly blacked out that I didn’t want to help. Just because of this, Jacob said in front of me that he didn’t expect me to be such a selfish person, and said a lot of unpleasant words. Because of this, I had a conflict with Jacob. At that time, Jacob was very calm, so I had the ability to go to the Fischer family to complain. ”
Seeing Cheney’s expression, I sighed, “Wasn’t that hard to believe?”
He nodded and looked at me. “Indeed.”
“See?” I shrugged. “Actually, I was a little surprised at that time. Before that, I had a very good impression of Jacob, and he treated me well. But after the servant was fired, Jacob was like a different person to me. When no one was around, if he met me, he either avoided me or walked past me as if I were following the air. And when someone is around, he is very respectful to me. At first, I wondered what I had done wrong. Later, I couldn’t help it. When I talked to him and asked him why he did this to me, he told me that it was because of the servant that was dismissed. ”
I shook my head. “I never thought that I would offend Jacob because of a servant.”
