Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 52

Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling

about this. Has something terrible happened to the owner's family? Why would they suddenly close up

shop without a single word otherwise?

After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that

she was fuming. "What’s wrong?" he asked, smiling. "The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not

praise you?"

Yvonne harrumphed icily. "Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did,

Grandma just let him get away," she said. "All she did was tell him to go back home and reflect upon

himself."

Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a

bias toward Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to

make an example of him. The words 'reflect upon himself’ sounded laughably ridiculous in this case.

Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Grandma Sue being partial toward Harvey-Yvonne had

absolutely no standing in her eyes. It was because she had never considered Yvonne's feelings toward

the matter.

She acted as if she had Yvonne by the short hairs. Did

she not fear that Yvonne came to an open break in relationship with the Sues? Such an arrogant old

woman.

"Right. I only found out today that the man from yesterday was Johann. Why did he help me?" Yvonne

stared at Samuel, questions sparking in her eyes. This matter was obviously connected to him.

"Uh...I spent some money to hire Johann,” Samuel replied coolly.

"Spent some money? How much?” Yvonne asked, curious.

"A hundred thousand."

"A hundred thousand!” Yvonne exclaimed, staring at him. This failure of a man actually spent another

hundred thousand! That was worth an entire year of her salary.

Now that she thought about it though, it was likely that she would have fallen into Gareth’s hands

yesterday if Johann had not made an appearance. Furthermore, she would have been defiled by

Gareth. She felt a little better after she considered this.

"A rich man sure has money." Yvonne pressed her lips together, twisting them into a sour expression.

Samuel could not help but laugh. This sum was nothing but a drop in the bucket. She would get a heart

attack if she knew how much credit he had in his card.

They arrived at their housing estate. Samuel was parking the car when they ran into Lydia and Godfrey.

They noticed that he was driving an Audi. This was the car that had been parked beside theirs.

Here they were, guessing who had bought the car. It turned out to be theirs!

Lydia stalked toward Yvonne, huffing angrily." Yvonne, did you buy another car?" she asked.

The secret would have been spilled sooner or later-it was just a matter of time. Yvonne cast Samuel a

side glance. Then she nodded her head and admitted," Mom, I-"

"You aren’t afraid that your grandmother will find out, are you? Besides, why did you buy two cars?

Why are you so insistent on letting him drive such a nice car?" Lydia shot a glare at Samuel and

continued, "Don't tell me that he begged you to?"

Yvonne waved her hand. "This has nothing to do with Samuel," she said. "It was my idea."

Lydia did not believe her. "What drugs did you feed m y daughter?" she asked Samuel. "Do you know

how severe the consequences of an audit are if Grandmother suspects her? Are you that willing to

throw Yvonne’s safety away for the sake of your reputation?"

"Mom, not a word more. Weren’t you two heading out? Go along then," Yvonne said.

Lydia checked the time; the cinema screening was about to start. Only then did she say, "Wait for me to

come back. You'd better explain everything properly t o me.”

Yvonne released a sigh when her parents left. She gave Samuel a resentful look. "Why didn't you tell

them that you bought the car?" she said.

"Do you think they'll believe me even if I told them? Besides, I don't care about what others think.”

Samuel's expression was nonchalant. Lydia and Godfrey would never believe him even if he said that h

e bought both cars. Why should he waste his time and energy?

For the past three years, Samuel never really cared about how others regarded him. The most

important thing was how Yvonne regarded him.

"That's true.” Exasperation flashed across Yvonne's expression. There was no use telling them the

truth; they would not believe it anyway.

Back at home, Samuel asked Yvonne, "Can I go out tonight?” "Will you stay at home if I told you no?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
