Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: One After Another_1 Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: One After Another_1 “I really owe a lot to Lyke this ti.” Peggy Lewis also said, “He’s put my mind at ease, so I don’t have to live in fear.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised that Peggy Lewis was already calling him so intimately.
It seed that Lyke wasn’t just bragging after all.
Third Old Master Zhekova’s dislike for Lyke had lessened a bit.
“He was only doing his duty.” Third Old Master Zhekova said.
“However, I’ve indeed been disturbing him for quite so ti.” Peggy Lewis said, “I was thinking about moving back.”
Lyke thought to himself that this wouldn’t do!
He had been considering having her stay for a longer period.
How could she consider moving without any discussion?
...
“Why are you so eager to move out?” The Old Madam imdiately asked.
“I’ve been bothering you for quite a while.” Peggy Lewis said awkwardly.
“I didn’t find it botherso.” Lyke quickly chid in.
“Exactly.” The Old Madam nodded, “He didn’t find it botherso.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Cindy Clarke: “…”
“Also, how’s your forr colleague doing?
If you move back and he goes looking for you again, what will you do?” The Old Madam asked.
Peggy Lewis hesitated for a mont and said, “I don’t think this would happen.
I’ve been hiding for several days, he should have given up by now.”
“Furthermore, it’s not like we have an irreconcilable hatred.
This isn’t sothing that would linger for long.
He should have cooled down by now.
There’s no need for him to sacrifice his own life just to keep an eye on .”
“Even if he insisted for a few days, but couldn’t get close to , he should have given up.”
“That’s overestimating human nature and that person’s character.” The Old Master said.
“From what Lyke told , that person made mistakes, lost his competitive advantage, lost his job, but still blad you.
People like that never believe it’s their fault and always bla others instead.
Whatever happens, they never look for the root of the problem within themselves but constantly bla others.”
“It seems this makes them feel much better.” The Old Master, who has seen people of all kinds, said.
He had seen too many people like Jacob Zahn in his life.
“Since he can repeatedly cause trouble for you, he won’t easily give up unless he manages to harm you.
Frankly speaking, he is a cowardly scum.” He dares not cause too much trouble and always bullies the weak.
ṅοѵǤᴑ.сο
But when he encounters soone stronger, he becos a coward imdiately.
Because of his cowardice, he might not dare to cause much harm.
But who can be sure?
What if he slips up?
Of course, the Old Master knew that Lyke had already dealt with Jacob Zahn.
But Peggy Lewis didn’t know.
Wouldn’t this make her feel safe and continue to stay at Lyke’s place?
The Old Master tiredly looked at Lyke.
He never had to put in this much effort even for his own grandson, Adrian Zhekova.
“You’ve been staying at Lyke’s these days and he has been driving you to and from work.
There’s no way Jacob Zahn could harm you.
If this goes on for a while, he might give up.
But there’s another possibility.
The more he can’t get what he wants, the more frustrated he gets, and this issue will always dwell in his mind.
The longer it lingers, the more he becos obsessed.”
“If he sees you alone, he might increase his harassnt.
By then, he might not be able to control himself, and who could predict what he might do to you?”
Cindy Clarke was dumbstruck.
The Old Master is aweso!
She was almost convinced by the Old Master!
Cindy Clarke couldn’t help but look at Adrian Zhekova and asked in a low voice only Adrian Zhekova could hear, “Does the Old Master often deceive people like this?”
“How else could I be so smart?
I’ve been deceived by him since I was a child, and after being deceived so many tis, naturally, I can tell.” Adrian Zhekova also whispered back.
Cindy Clarke: “…”
“Exactly!” The Old Madam took the opportunity to say, “In my opinion, you should continue living there.
With Lyke protecting you, we can also feel at ease.”
“Besides, you’ve only stayed for a few days.
Even if Jacob Zahn is really going to give up, it’s impossible for him to do so within just a few days.
Shouldn’t he hold on for a year…or a few years?
By then, he would give up when he realizes he doesn’t stand a chance of finding you.” The Old Madam said.
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Does this an she has to stay at Lyke’s place for a few more years?
She dared to do so, but wouldn’t Lyke then stop looking for a wife and getting married?
She couldn’t bear the responsibility of delaying Lyke’s marriage.
“Or, do you not trust Lyke?” The Old Madam suddenly stared, her whole face tight, “Did this boy act improperly?
Did he do anything inappropriate to you?”
The Old Madam suddenly stood up, muttering, “Where’s my feather duster?
Where’s my feather duster?”
And then she started looking for it.
Peggy Lewis was startled and quickly waved her hand, “No, no, please don’t misunderstand.
Lyke has been extraordinarily good.
How could he possibly do anything inappropriate?”
Peggy Lewis was anxious.
She was taken care of by Lyke, and Lyke, fearing she was in danger, kindly took her to his house.
He also drove her to and from work in the morning and evening.
But her words led to a misunderstanding about Lyke’s character.
Lyke, who didn’t even touch a single hair of hers, was misunderstood in this way.
Peggy Lewis felt trendously guilty.
It was her attitude that led to this misunderstanding.
Poor Peggy Lewis had no familiarity with the Zhekova Family’s tactics.
First, she was trapped by Lyke, then she was trapped by the Third Old Master Zhekova.
And now, she was being deceived by the Old Madam.
Cindy Clarke understood it all too well.
Before she got married, she was as naive as Peggy Lewis.
She had no idea what these tactics were, so she was easily deceived by Adrian Zhekova.
After she got married and beca closer with the Zhekova family elders, Cindy Clarke finally realized that they were all experts at manipulation.
Cindy Clarke was naturally intelligent, so she quickly caught on.
When the Old Madam stood up looking for her feather duster but didn’t actually leave her spot, Cindy Clarke knew that the Old Madam was trying to manipulate Peggy Lewis.
Cindy Clarke quickly cooperated with the Old Madam, got up, and held her arm, dissuading her, “Grandmother, don’t you know what kind of person Fourth Uncle is?
You must trust him, otherwise, he’ll be hurt.”
“Look at the Third Grandfather.
Could soone he taught be bad?” Cindy said.
“Old Madam, Lyke is indeed a good man.
He hasn’t been disrespectful to in any way.
He kindly brought to his ho.
If he is unfairly wronged because of , I would feel terribly ashad.” Peggy Lewis quickly said.
It looked like the Old Madam was finally convinced as she sat back down.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, Lyke.
We know what kind of person you are.” The Old Madam said, “It’s just that Peggy is a girl living on her own at your place.
If she’s wronged and has nowhere to vent, I certainly need to consider for her.”
