Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 72. Lisle's Identity Suspected

"Celine, I've hit people." Lisle noticed her palm that was suddenly shaking. "I've threatened a lot of people" too."

Celine took a breath. His admiration for Lisle's courage for a moment had suddenly collapsed.

"No problem. Mr. Kent will definitely take care of it." Celine comforted the frightened-looking Lisle. He grabbed onto Lisle's shoulder, pulling him onto a park bench.

"Ah, of course my great husband will take care of it…." Lisle muttered to herself while daydreaming. Instantly his body felt weak. He knew Kennard would take care of it. Maybe it was just a small matter for the man. But he was embarrassed to complain. And come to think of it, the threat just now felt excessive. For him, it was enough if people ignored or harassed him. He was humble enough to be invisible to anyone.

Then Lisle remembered something. For a moment he watched the surroundings, but found nothing or anyone. He took the phone from the bag and pressed a number to make a call.

After a waiting tone for a while, a welcoming voice across the channel.

"Hallo, Mistress?" That's Kent's assistant's voice.

Lisle was a bit embarrassed for a moment with that 'mistress' call but was able to understand it.

"Please don't call me that in front of a lot of people." Lisle tried to remind.

"Okay, Madam."

Lisle could imagine Steve obediently saying that while bowing respectfully.

"Steve, I need to ask you something. Emm…. Am I being watched? Did Mr Kent tell people to follow me wherever I went?" Lisle asked carefully. He wasn't sure Steve would be honest with him. Kennard could have ordered him to shut up.

There was a pause for a few seconds before Steve answered. "Yes, Madam. The master ordered people to keep an eye on the Madam to make sure the events would not happen again. Sir is concerned for the Madam's safety."

I heard Lisle's complaint. Her husband will soon know what happened. Although it was a natural thing it might even be a good idea since Lisle did not need to bother complaining, but knowing her every move was being watched created an uncomfortable feeling for her.

"What's up, Madam? Did something happen?" Steve seemed to be able to read Lisle's mind even though he wasn't directly facing each other. It's the first day the mistress has gone to college after officially becoming her master's wife. He was not surprised that the girl had gotten into trouble. "Maybe I can help?"

"Can you cover it from the master?" asked Lisle hesitatingly.

"What's the problem so serious?" Steve tried to make sure. 

Lisle nodded loudly but hurriedly said, "Very. I hit and threatened people. I thought they were gonna sue me. I'm a little scared." Actually he was very scared.

There was a strange silence and an indistinct sound afterwards. Then Lisle was startled with a voice at the end of the joint.

"So my little wife was making trouble on her first day on campus as Kent's mistress?"

*** 

Shopia roared as the family doctor examined her. His cheeks were still hot and swollen. The reddish color on both sides is clearly visible.

"How could such a cheap girl hit you?" Mistress Harfey who was sitting on the sofa next to her daughter kept repeating the same sentence. Seeing her beloved daughter humiliated made her very angry.

 

The Harfey family though was not the main family in Black Mountain, but belonged to a respected class of distinguished families. Mr. Harfey was indeed just a man born from a very ordinary family. But the ability to do business makes a small business to grow quickly. At the age of twenty-five he boldly proposed to mistress Harfey who was then the prima donna of the city. And accepted.

Their marriage was not without consideration on the part of the female family. Although in terms of status, their families simply could not compare. Young Mistress Harfey comes from a first-class family. But they only have one child and she's a girl. They need a son-in-law who is good at running their family's big business. And their choices are not wrong.

"Why don't you give it back, huh?" Again, mistress Harfey shook her daughter's arm which still covered next to her face until she grimaced again.

"And let the girl have a chance to defend herself?" Shopia vehemently denied the idea of hitting back. Not that he doesn't want to. He said he was smart enough not to touch the girl until the punishment would be perfect. If he retorted, perhaps the girl would not be able to stand arrogantly in front of people and voice her stupid-sounding threat.

Among her pain, the idea of throwing Lisle into a cell caused her to have less pain on her face.

"We're going to ask the best lawyer in town to drag the girl to jail" Shopia said, hugging her mother's arm. "After all, we'll win. There's a lot of eyewitnesses there who definitely don't mind testifying for me."

"Don't rush. You better have someone investigate who the girl really is. Maybe there was someone strong enough behind him that he had that courage. We don't want to offend anyone. The family business is stable. I don't want to because of this small problem the family business is falling apart. You know for yourself, company shares can suddenly go down just because of an unpleasant little news." Mr. Harfey spoke wisely. He knows what kind of girl his daughter is. He spoils her but she also uses her common sense in regards to her daughter. Not necessarily because of Shopia his daughter then he became blind and attacked the surroundings with his eyes closed.

Black Mountain is a cruel city. Traps are everywhere. A person could have been yesterday still at the peak of his success but today even his name is no longer remembered. Mr. Harfey always remembers that. He had seen it happen to some of his friends. 

"So you're gonna let our daughter get insulted?!" Lady Harfey was irritated at her calm-looking husband.

"Of course not. We'll call Mr. Adam. He'll sort this out. But the identity of the girl should be clear first. An ordinary girl was able to make the miss of the Harfey family on the black list by the biggest mall in Black Mountain. Isn't that suspicious enough?" Mr. Harfey pulled his back onto the back of the sofa. He did not seem to be provoked by the children in front of him.

Madame Harfey's eyes were wide open. Shopia chokes while sipping coffee from her cup. He almost spouted it. The incident at the Royal Diamond Mall was never told to his parents. Shopia was shocked her father brought up the embarrassing incident.

"A... What do you mean, Dad?" Shopia.

While Miss Harfey turned to the beloved daughter next to her. "How come? Is that true, Shopia?"

"Darling, how can you say that?" Mrs Harfey looked at the father and son in turn. He doesn't know anything about what happened at the mall.

"I got a report from my guy. Shopia attacked the girl in the mall. Then they called the manager. Our daughter is no longer allowed to enter the mall." Although Mr. Harfey did not explain the reporter, but they were equally aware that Shopia was being watched by his father.
