Chapter 59: Was It a Serious Joint Trial
Jocelyn briefly introduced the thing Stan and Monica did at the wedding and clearly explained the reason why Monica disliked her. Mrs. Ruskin was even more unhappy at the moment.
"Monica is really cheeky. The two elders in Leonard and Joanne just have died for such a short time, she and Stan are so greedy that they covet the things belonging to Leonard family."
In order not to make Mrs. Ruskin think too much, Jocelyn added, "Actually, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that they had been bothered about it for so long. So when we talked about them before, you didn't mention this matter."
"It is because you are tolerant," Mrs. Ruskin said indignantly. "This kind of person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance must do something evil to you in the future. You should be careful. Today, it is me that don't arrange well, so that she gets a chance to hurt you. By the way, Antony lets me tell you something."
Mentioning "Antony", Jocelyn looked a little nervous. "What is it?"
She also knew that Antony was the cousin of Mrs. Ruskin and he was the son of Mrs. Ruskin's cousin. Their relationship was very close, but Antony was a doctor and was too busy usually, so that only a few people knew their relationship.
Today, why Mrs. Ruskin came to help in time was because of Antony.
"He said today's matter is his fault. In order not to be misunderstood any more, he will not meet you. In fact, he has been in a bad mood during this period of time, so I let him come to the villa to rest for a few days. He has been living in the place next to your partition I arranged for you. But he did not expect that today there was something wrong with the air conditioner. So, the waiter temporarily exchanged the room for him.
"Temporarily exchanged?"
Mrs. Ruskin knew what Jocelyn was suspicious of, then she helplessly said, "Now I can't find out which waiter changed it for him. It certainly didn't happen so coincidentally. It must have something to do with Monica."
Jocelyn nodded in agreement.
"I've asked James to re-select all the waiters in the villa. It is fortunate that nothing happened today. If something happens, I must lose my face. Antony is a good boy, just a little innocent. Don't blame him considering the relationship between us.
"It's all a misunderstanding, and he didn't mean it."
"You are right," Mrs. Ruskin smiled. "Originally, I invited Antony to attend the banquet today for fear that you don't know others and will be bored. He has worked in the Morrison family for many years. You should be able to have something to talk about and you will not feel bored. Unexpectedly, the second daughter of the Morrison family has a quick temper. After you returning home, I'm afraid they must trouble you."
"I am upright and don't do anything evil. I am not afraid. Don't worry"
Jocelyn put down her hand and showed the red and swollen marks on her face with a cunning look. "And with this on my face, I'm a victim, too." Seeing that she was still in a mood to tease herself, Mrs. Ruskin laughed.
"You, a little girl, you are very young and smart."
At night, there was crying coming out in the living room of Morrison family.
Julia's eyes were swollen.
When Jocelyn came back later, the atmosphere at home was already very depressed. Jocelyn thought that Julia had already explained the causes and consequences of the incident.
The old master sat on the sofa and looked very serious.
Abner and Selena were sitting on the sofa on the left hand. Julia was still sobbing in Selena's arms. On the right hand was Nicola, who was looking on coldly what would happen next. On the other hand, Arthur, who was sitting in a wheelchair and reading the newspaper as if this matter had no relationship with him.
It was a serious joint trial.
Jocelyn came over and greeted them.
"Sit down."
The old master said calmly.
"Ah." Jocelyn looked at the position and pulled up a chair and sat beside Arthur.
"Julia has said some after she came back. I also let people inquire about some. Today, you two really made me honored at the banquet."
The old man was calm and unhappy.
Jocelyn looked at Julia lying in Selena's arms and frowned. "Since Grandpa has known everything, I will not explain anything. I am willing to accept any punishment."
Everyone showed different looks. The old master's voice became colder.
"Do you admit that you are wrong?"
"I have said in front of Julia that I admit that today's thing was because I am not careful enough and I forget Grandpa's advice. So that others can get the chance to frame me. I admit that I am wrong, but I will not admit the thing that I have not done."
"Julia has seen you and Antony were in the hot spring pool. If Julia didn't take care of the whole situation, you would have been scolded and died outside," said Selena in a cold voice, who seemed to have restrained herself for a long time, .
"Don't think that it will be no problem if you say there is nothing happen. Julia is innocent so she just has believed what you said. What else can happen to a single man and a woman? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
Because of Arthur's paralysis, asnovelbin
soon as Jocelyn entered the Morrison family, Selena was on guard against her in case that she would have a love affair with others. She even wanted to install the monitor on her, and she was afraid that Jocelyn would do something to upset her son. So this time, even bathing together in the hot spring pool happened. Of course, she refused to give up troubling her.
Faced with their questioning, Jocelyn said nothing.
The old man asked, "You have nothing to say?"
eli
"Grandpa, you just said that you have asked someone investigated this matter, so I think Grandpa, you have your own decision. There is no need for me to argue with my mother here. Even if I win in the dispute, it will also hurt the family harmony, which is worthless."
"You are always justified." Selena ironically said, "Do you think we will trust you if you say that?"
As soon as she finished, the old man knocked on his crutch. "You say. I want to hear how you explain it."
Immediately Selena looked stunned and was extremely embarrassed.
Jocelyn thought over carefully, and then explained calmly and unhurriedly.
"It might be true if it was other
person who told Julia that I had a love affair with a man. But it was Monica who told Julia, and she said I had a love affair with Antony, which was so purposeful. Originally, because of the thing of that painting, she has hated me. Besides, Julia liked Doctor Warren. She made use of this to guide Julia to catch adultery in the act. She didn't need to do anything herself. As for how to get Antony and me together, as long as she has the intention, there are many ways."
Her words were reasonable. The whole Morrison family knew that Julia was pursuing Antony.
Only Selena refused to admit it.
"What are you talking nonsense about? How do you know that Julia likes Antony? Can she get married if you say so?
"I like Antony!" Julia suddenly struggled to raise her head and said in a strong crying voice. "I don't marry anybody except him. I don't believe what Monica has said. Antony is a good man and he will never do such a thing."
"You, little girl."
Jocelyn looked at all the people's faces carefully and suggested, "Or, we can talk with Warren family about the marriage between Julia and Doctor Warren. I think they are very suitable for each other."
