Chapter7
" Lionel , your nephew is ignorant, don't argue with him." Steward flattered, fearing that Lionel would get angry.
"If big brother can't even teach his children well, how will others see our Johnson Family ? Why don't I find someone to teach big brother?" Lionel's voice was normal, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's heart tightened.
Especially Steward , he knew the methods of his Lionel . He saw it when he was a child, this man is crazy. If
Alfred falls into his hands, he will be skinned alive.
" Lionel is usually busy, how can Lionel bother with such a small matter ." Then Steward looked at Alfred angrily : "Go and kneel for three hours, and you are not allowed to eat dinner!"
"Dad!"
Alfred wanted to say something, but Steward directly signaled to the servant next to him: "Take him away!"
" Lionel , please come in." Steward almost went to help the man directly.
Johnson Family is considered the richest family in Ruskin City . Steward is usually arrogant and never takes others seriously. Now he is so respectful to one person that no one else dares to speak.
Nydia walked at the end, looking at the tall man. He was taller than everyone here, and his aura was out of place here.
Nydia's intuition told her that he was very dangerous. The old house
of Johnson Family was magnificent and built like a palace. Even the dining room was decorated with crystal chandeliers.
Steward gave up the main seat, and Lionel sat there, like a controller of life and death. No one dared to look directly at his sharp eyes .
Nydia originally wanted to find the most inconspicuous place, but Lionel 's eyes were always on her, so Steward called Nydia over.
" Nydia , you sit in Alfred 's seat."
Alfred is the future successor of the Johnson Family . Steward originally wanted him to show up in front of Lionel more often , so he arranged him to sit on Lionel's left hand side. In this way, Nydia sat directly next to Lionel's hand.
She originally wanted to stay away, but now she can touch Lionel as long as she stretches her hand a little further .
Nydia can only eat the food in front of her, but even so, she still accidentally touched the back of Lionel 's hand, and twice!
Nydia was sitting on pins and needles, but fortunately, Lionel did not make things difficult for her, and the meal was relatively peaceful.
After the meal, Nydia went to the bathroom, and Lionel was invited upstairs by
Steward . Over there, Alfred 's sister Vivie stood next to Mrs Johnson , looking unhappy. She had been holding it in for a long time today.
"Mom, look at Nydia . She doesn't even help when Sherry is too busy. She really thinks she is some kind of lady!"
Sherry is a maid working in the kitchen. She didn't even help wash any dishes when Nydia came today. Who is she waiting for? If her father hadn't repeatedly reminded her today that there must not be any mistakes at the dinner tonight, she would have dealt with
Nydia at the dinner table .
Mrs Johnson is the hostess of the Johnson Family after all . It would be even more embarrassing if her daughter-in-law washed the dishes.
She looked at the box over there: " Vivien , Nydia is still an outsider now. How can she take such an expensive gift from your uncle ? The gift itself should be for your brother." Vivien understood instantly: "Don't worry, mom, I will get it back for my brother!"
Nydia came out of the bathroom and didn't see Lionel . Maybe he left.
Alfred 's sister Vivien was rummaging through something furtively.
"What are you doing? The Johnson Family has a thief?" Nydia stood behind her and saw Vivien open the scroll
Lionel gave her. This is a famous painting , worth nine figures, and it can be said to be priceless.
Vivien was shocked. Since she was discovered, she didn't hide it.
"Who do you say is the thief!"
Nydia raised her eyes and looked at her: "Isn't it? Do you dare to say that you don't have such an idea?"
Vivien was indeed very tempted and wanted to take it away secretly, but she would definitely not admit it after being exposed by Nydia .
"Can't you take a look? This painting originally belonged to the Johnson Family . Do you want to take it for yourself?"
" Uncle said it was a gift for me. It seems that he didn't say it was for the Johnson Family . Everyone present at the time should have heard it. If you have problems with your ears, go to the hospital as soon as possible."
" So what if uncle said it was for you? You can give it to others. This lady likes this painting." Vivien was ready to pack it up and take it away by herself.
However, Nydia stopped her and took the box back directly: "If you want it, ask your uncle to give it to you."
After that, Nydia was ready to leave with the box. It was almost twelve o'clock now, and it was time to go home. Seeing
Mrs Johnson drinking tea over there , Nydia walked over and said, "Aunt, it's too late, I should go back too."
"Stay tonight, the room is ready, you and Alfred can live together."
Mrs Johnson's aura is not small, and she has the means of a wealthy lady. This is not a discussion with
Nydia at all , but a word of affirmation.
"Thank you, aunt, but my father is still waiting for me to go back."
"My mother has let you stay, what else do you want, why are you pretending, you have never lived in such a good place in your life, letting you stay is a courtesy to you, don't be shameless."
" Vivien !" Mrs Johnson called Vivien 's name in a stern tone , and she waited until Vivien finished speaking before she scolded her.
" Nydia , don't argue with
Vivien , I'll have someone take you upstairs." Vivien thought of something, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Mom, I'll take her."
Vivien took Nydia upstairs. This is the old house of the Johnson Family . Even Alfred doesn't live here often. Nydia has been here before, but this is her first time living here.
"I really don't know why dad must have you marry my brother. You are so much worse than sister Janet . You are so ugly that my brother will be embarrassed to take you out!" Vivien complained.
Many people said she was ugly, and Vivien was not the first one . Nydia didn't care at all.
Besides, she was pretending to be like this now.
"Since you don't like me, then convince your dad and your brother not to marry me, otherwise I will become your sister-in-law and your good days will be over."
"You!" Vivien glared at Nydia angrily .
Just wait and see how I deal with you!
Oh, dad told me not to offend uncle . Uncle is of noble status, and even father has to be respectful to him. But if Nydia offends uncle , then not only uncle will blame her, but dad will also blame her.
Vivien took Nydia to a room: "This is your room tonight, go in."
This is not her brother's room. This is the room that was cleaned up tonight for uncle to live in.
If Nydia goes in, she will definitely bump into uncle , and uncle will definitely be angry. Vivien can imagine the scene, how bloody it will be.
Nydia has never been here before, and she doesn't know that this is not Alfred 's room. Out of politeness, she raised her hand to knock on the door.
However, Vivien opened the door directly and pushed Nydia in.
