Jacob kneels and turns around, facing Grandpa, who was livid. “Six years ago, in order to make Flora live, I selfishly begged Mrs. Fischer to leave the young master. At that time, I thought that the young master loved Flora. As long as Mrs. Fischer left, the young master could marry Flora, so… Flora could live. Master, I was wrong, but at that time, Mrs. Fischer didn’t promise me that she would definitely leave, because I never told Flora about this, so I don’t know. Mrs. Fischer made a bet with Flora later, and she left because the young master chose Flora at that time. I didn’t know about this until six years later, when Mrs. Fischer came back again and she talked to me. So strictly speaking, when I talked to Mrs. Fischer, it can’t be regarded as me, forcing her. At that time, their feelings were not stable enough, and Mrs. Fischer didn’t completely trust the young master, so… ”
He said with some excitement, and shook his head again, silencing. Moments later, he said, “No, it’s not about Mrs. Fischer, she was innocent.”
He bowed on the ground again. “Master, all my explanations are a shield for my selfishness. I am wrong. You should punish me. I will recognize how you will punish me.”
Grandpa was about to speak when I looked at Jacob and said, “Uncle Jacob, you haven’t answered my question.”
Several people looked at me.
I repeated, “Why on earth did you try to kill Romeo? I want your truth.”
He was silent again.
I’m a little annoyed. “Well, since you won’t say it, I’ll ask you if Krista’s two cyber attacks have anything to do with you.”
He raised his eyes, looked at me, and then nodded. “I did it.”
“What is your relationship with Fiona?”
Krista’s pov
I was somewhat surprised that Cheney really didn’t save face for Jacob at all. It seems that he is really going to settle accounts with Jacob.
Jacob closed his eyes. “I’ve been with Fiona for four years, and I was going to get married after this year.”
Grandpa roared, “What have you done behind my back? You will tell me everything today!”
Jacob raised his voice. “Master, I am unwilling. I have accumulated too many grievances. I hate and regret it.”
“What do you hate and complain about? Have the Fischer family treated you badly over the years?”
“The Fischer family did not mistreat me, and my master and old lady regarded me as their own. I am very grateful for all this, but…”
“But what, don’t hesitate. Like a man, tell me clearly.”
“What I regret is Flora’s business. When Flora said she liked Master Rashad, I thought about sending Flora away. I know that a big house like the Fischer family can’t accommodate an inexperienced child like Flora. I have discussed this matter with you and Master, but you all disagree. I regret it too much. I listened to your words at that time. If I sent Flora away at that time, if… if I sent the child away, she would not fall in love with the young master, become a vegetable in an accident, and wake up after a serious illness and lose the person she loves most, so that she can hardly live. Six years ago, looking at Flora, who is getting thinner and thinner, I don’t know how many slaps I slapped myself. I regret that as a father, I can’t even protect my only own flesh and blood. The young master clearly said that the person in his heart is Flora, but I went to ask the young master to help Flora, the young master… ”
He shook his head, “I didn’t resent anyone, because at that time, I knew the helplessness of the young master, a man changed his mind, and sometimes it was as simple as that. I know better that Mrs. Fischer is innocent, and she doesn’t even know Flora exists. I begged Mrs. Fischer, but it was just a father’s last effort. Besides, I really didn’t know what else I could do. I couldn’t really watch Flora die. After Mrs. Fischer left, I thought that my Flora could finally have a lover with the young master and get married. But unexpectedly, young master… young master guarded her with deep affection during her four years of deep sleep, but after she woke up, she spent six years indulging in his own marriage and hurting her. When Mrs. Fischer came back, Flora told me several times that she wanted to leave the Fischer’s mansion. She told me that she sincerely hoped that the young master and Mrs. Fischer would grow old together. She was fine, but how could she be fine? From the age of twenty to thirty, this is the best time in Flora’s life. She doesn’t complain, hate or blame herself. She only hopes that the young master is good, but… but I really can’t do it. Master, I am a father. Where in the world is there a father who can watch his own flesh and blood be wronged, but be indifferent? Young Master is a big child that I love with one hand. I can’t bear to blame him, so I can only vent my anger on Mrs Fischer. Not only did my daughter continue to get hurt, but the woman I planned to hold her hand for the rest of my life was also sent to prison because Mrs. Fischer came back again without her word. My future, Flora’s future, Fiona’s future, have been destroyed in a mess. Do I want to watch Mrs. Fischer, every day standing beside the young master’s happy smile? I don’t know if I could bear it, especially my daughter. Young Master Romeo is innocent, but he is Mrs Fischer’s child. I want Mrs Fischer to experience the pain of pouring out her heart and lungs for her child. I… ”
‘Pak!’
Behind him, the sound of a porcelain plate landing on the ground came.
I looked in the direction of the door and saw Flora standing there with a surprised face.
On the ground in front of her is the cake she just made.
“Flora.” Jacob also looked at Flora in surprise.
Everyone saw that Flora was frightened. She looked straight at Jacob with her eyes.
I looked at Flora and wondered how much Jacob knew about these things.
But obviously, I really have no talent in this field.
