Chapter 262 Venomous Slander
Chapter 262 Venomous Slander
York Luo had met Nelson Li quite a few times before. The Nalan clan did quite a lot of business with
the Luo clan.
"Mr. Li, do you happen to know why Lord Nalan wants to meet with us?" York Luo asked Nelson with
his pleasing smile.
"Ask your daughter, " Nelson glanced toward Jessie's direction and led the way.
Lord Nalan had wanted to personally meet both Jessie and her father.
Nelson walked ahead. York turned to Jessie and asked, "Sweetheart, do you know what this is all
about? Don't try to keep secrets from your father!"
"I really don't know what happened, Daddy!" Jessie was confused too.
Suddenly, a thought came to York's mind. "Oh my God! Jessie, did you date one of Nalan's sons?"
"No, Daddy, I didn't! What are you talking about?" Jessie answered.
"Then why does Lord Nalan want to meet the both of us? He strictly instructed that I must come with
you." York was met with more confusion.
After walking for a good five minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of a hall.
After stepping into the hall, York and Jessie saw Lord Nalan sitting in front of them. York greeted the
serious Lord Nalan immediately.
"Long time no see, Lord Nalan, " York showed his signature pleasing smile again.
"Lord Nalan, it's good to see you, " Jessie greeted Lord Nalan, with a sweet smile.
Lord Richard Nalan nodded at them.
After greeting Lord Nalan, York and Jessie found seats and sat down.
Jessie realized that Linda and Lily Jiang were in the hall as well.
After seeing that Lily was sitting on the left side of Lord Nalan and next to Linda, Jessie fumed up. She
wanted to have the same treatment Lily got, like being able to sit near Lord Nalan.
Despite her rage, Jessie decided that it was best for her to keep quiet. She was, after all, inside Lord
Nalan's house.
Jessie and Rosy Nalan were good friends. They both had spent a lot of time in the Nalan house.
Therefore, she was quite familiar with this place.
Rosy hurried to the hall and pretended to accidentally enter the door. After seeing so many people,
Rosy acted shocked and said, "Why are there so many people in here? What are you doing,
Grandpa?"
Upon seeing Rosy come in, Lord Nalan immediately knew that Rosy had something to do with Linda's
"accident". After all, with over fifty years of life experience, he had become wise. He would know if
something smelled fishy.
He knew that something was up with Rosy.
He was certain that Rosy had something to do with Linda's "accident".
He felt a pang of frustration in his heart.
Why did Rosy hate Linda so much?
There were so many internal and external struggles within this big, rich family.
Lord Nalan had personally experienced those struggles. In order to protect Linda, he secretly brought
her to the Nalan clan. However, doing so allowed the others to bully Linda.
Calling for this gathering, Lord Nalan wanted to introduce Linda to everyone and to improve her
position in the Nalan clan.
He did this to make sure that nobody would bully Linda again.
"Come and sit." With a sigh, Lord Nalan instructed Rosy.
Rosy had a bad feeling when she saw Lord Nalan's reaction. She started to think about whether
coming here was a good idea or not. Her grandfather was very smart and he knew everything.
Did her grandfather figure out what happened?
Rosy sat down with an embarrassed look.
Why didn't they kill Linda instead of only pushing her into the pond?
Everything would have been over if Linda had just died.
It was too late now.
If Linda found out what ran through Rosy's mind, she would have felt devastated.
Rosy Nalan was only nineteen years old. She hasn't even graduated from university. How could she be
so vicious?
Lord Nalan looked around the hall, and then he spoke.
"I have gathered you all today because of my granddaughter Linda's accident. She was pushed into the
pond, where she almost died. Upon hearing the news, I became furious. I wanted to find out who did
this. Fortunately, we have caught the criminal and she has confessed."
"That's good news, Lord Nalan! You must punish her severely. How dare she try to kill Lady Linda!"
York said, but he was confused. Lady Linda's accident was a private matter of the Nalan clan.
Why did Lord Nalan want him and his daughter Jessie to attend this meeting? What do they have to do
with the accident?
Lord Nalan glanced at York and continued, "Nelson, bring the criminal in."
Nelson nodded and brought Stacy Kang into the hall.
After Stacy had confessed last night, Nelson handed her over to the police and brought her back this
morning.
Lord Nalan kept quiet. He didn't even want to talk to the criminal anymore.
This woman tried to kill his lovely Linda. What she did was unforgivable.
Due to her feud with the Xia clan for the past twenty years, he hadn't taken Linda back to the Nalan
clan.
Unfortunately, having only welcomed Linda back for a few days, she had already suffered a threat on
her life.
"My Lord, I am so sorry! Miss Luo gave me too much money that I couldn't refuse. I was stupid to push
Lady Linda, " Stacy said.
In the servants' eyes, Lord Nalan was serious and strict, intimidating all of them.
Lord Nalan only had to ask her once before Stacy Kang broke down and confessed.
Stacy bawled her eyes out.
She was afraid of what might happen to her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The Nalan clan treated her well. They even gave her an extra hundred thousand when she had quit her
servant job.
If she hadn't been this greedy, she wouldn't have done this stupid thing. She would have reunited with
her family in Deyang, Sichuan province. The extra hundred thousand was enough to support her family
and send her brother to a university.
Why did greed overcome her common sense?
Stacy was full of regrets. After spending a night in the police station, Stacy was afraid and sad.
After hearing Stacy's statement, Jessie was surprised that her name was mentioned.
Rosy Nalan was behind the accident. Jessie was sure of it.
Jessie was smart enough to stay out of the vile scheme. She had a feeling that Rosy and Stacy would
be discovered.
Jessie did not expect Stacy to mention her name instead of Rosy's. In front of everyone!
Jessie was shocked because she had never talked to Stacy before.
"What are you talking about? I don't even know you!"
Trembling, Jessie stood up and shouted at Stacy.
"I am sorry, Miss Jessie Luo! I was forced to identify you, " Stacy said.
