<i>“</i><i>Perhaps </i>Brian. <i>I </i><i>suggest </i><i>you </i><i>start </i><i>trying </i>to <i>make </i><i>up </i>for <i>the </i><i>fact </i><i>that </i><i>she’s </i><i>the </i><i>reason </i><i>you’ll </i><i>be </i>graduating <i>college</i>.”
I decided to go to bed, she wasn’t going toe out of that closet tonight. By tomorrow, she should be cooled off.
<b><i>Grd’s </i></b><b><i>Pov</i></b><b>: </b>
I woke the next morning feeling surprisingly light despite that crappy bed. Maybe it was because I was able tosh out after all these years! And even though I was pretty sure it would change absolutely nothing, it felt good to finally get it out. After I finished showering, I received a text from my mother–inw.
[Good <i>morning</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>I </i><b><i>hope </i></b><b><i>you </i></b><i>were </i><b><i>able </i></b><b><i>to </i></b><b><i>sleep </i></b><b><i>well</i></b><b><i>. </i></b><b><i>Call </i></b><i>me </i><i>as </i><b>soon </b><b><i>as </i></b><b>you </b>get <b><i>the </i></b><b><i>chance</i></b><b><i>, </i></b><b><i>Grandpa </i></b><b><i>Teddy </i></b><i>thinks </i><b><i>he </i></b><b><i>may have </i></b><b><i>found </i></b><b><i>a </i></b><b><i>solution </i></b><b><i>to </i></b><b><i>your </i></b><b><i>concern</i></b><i>.</i>]
Hmm. If he’s referring to my not wanting the Rochesters to benefit off the Christiansens… I knew me and my new grandfather would be good friends.
As I made my way to the kitchen, I could hear what sounded like an argumenting
from the breakfast room.
???
“All <i>I’m </i>saying <i>is </i><i>you </i><i>didn’t </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>hit </i><i>her </i><i>mom</i><i>. </i><i>We </i><i>really </i><i>didn’t </i><i>have </i><i>any </i><i>proof</i>. <i>Why </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>being </i><i>so </i><ibative </i><i>about </i><i>this</i><i>?</i><b><i>” </i></b>
Silence. Sigh. Sharon’s voice.
<i>“</i><i>Because </i><i>the </i><i>maids </i><i>weren’t </i><i>the </i><i>ones </i><i>who </i><i>found </i><i>the </i><i>ne </i><i>Noah</i>.<i>” </i>
Silence.
“<i>Then </i><i>who </i><i>did </i><i>mom</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>Livie</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Silence. Sigh.
<i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>what </i><i>you’re </i><i>telling </i>me <i>is </i><i>that </i><i>Livie </i><i>tried </i><i>to </i><i>set </i><i>Grd </i><i>up </i>for <i>theft</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>No</i><i>!!! </i>I’m <i>just </i><i>saying </i><i>she </i>found <i>the-</i>”
“<i>That’s </i><i>impossible </i>mom<i>! </i><i>There’s </i><i>no </i><i>way </i><i>she </i><i>could </i><i>have </i><i>found </i><i>that </i><i>ne in </i><i>Grd’s </i>
<i>room</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Silence.
<i>“</i><i>Maybe </i><i>one </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>maid’s-</i>”
<i>“</i><i>Mom </i><i>stop</i><i>. </i><i>Livie </i><i>never </i><i>went </i><i>back </i><i>into </i><i>Grd’s </i><i>room </i><i>after </i><i>yesterday </i><i>morning</i>.”
<i>“</i><i>Noah</i><i>, </i><i>she’s </i><i>my </i><i>daughter</i><i>…</i><i>you’re </i><i>sister</i><i>! </i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>want </i><i>her </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>in </i><i>trouble </i>for <i>this</i><i>! </i><i>Your </i><i>father </i>is <i>already </i><i>on </i><i>edge </i><i>after </i><i>what happened </i><ist </i><i>night</i><i>!</i><i>“</i>”
“<i>What </i><i>about </i><i>Grd </i><i>m-</i>”
“<i>What </i><i>about </i><i>her</i><i>!!</i><i>” </i>
Silence.
<i>“</i><i>What </i><i>I </i><i>mean </i><i>is</i><i>, </i><i>now </i><i>that </i><i>we </i><i>know </i><i>the </i><i>truth</i><i>, </i><i>it’s </i><i>no </i><i>point </i><i>in </i><i>harping </i><i>on </i><i>this</i><i>. </i>I’m <i>asking </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>protect </i><i>Livie</i>.<i>” </i>
Silence. Sigh.
“<i>Fine </i><i>mother</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>tell </i><i>her </i><i>to </i><i>rx</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>wasn’t </i><i>necessary</i>.

<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>will</i><i>! </i><i>She </i><i>knows</i>! <i>She </i><i>feels </i><i>really </i><i>bad</i><i>! </i><i>She </i><i>said </i><i>Grd </i><i>was </i><i>mean </i>to <i>her </i><i>that </i><i>morning</i><i>, </i><i>so </i><i>she </i><i>reacted </i><i>out </i><i>of </i><i>frustration</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>get </i><i>it</i>. <i>But </i><i>next </i><i>time</i>…<i>tell </i><i>her </i><i>to </i><ie </i>to me<i>. </i>I’ll <i>handle </i><i>dad</i>. <i>Mom</i><i>, </i><i>apologize</i>.<i>” </i>
Silence. Exasperation.
<i>“</i><i>Fine</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
I couldn’t help butugh hysterically to myself. WOW!! All that crap Noah tried to pullst night acting all concerned, only for him to cover for <i>Livie</i>. I knew it was too good to be true. I walked to kitchen to grab me some orange juice before leaving. As I closed the

refrigerator, Sharon was standing near the counter.
<i>“</i><i>Grd</i>. <i>I </i><i>trust </i><i>you </i><i>sleep well</i><i>.</i>”
I said nothing. She continued.
30%!
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>just </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>apologize </i><i>for </i><ist night</i>. <i>Even </i><i>though </i><i>the </i><i>evidence </i><i>suggested </i><i>otherwise</i>, <i>I </i><i>now </i><i>know </i><i>you </i><i>weren’t </i><i>the </i><i>one </i><i>who </i><i>took </i><i>the </i><i>ne</i>. <i>We think </i><i>one </i>of <i>the </i><i>maid’s-</i>”
<i>Hahahahahaha</i>.
I began tough hysterically. Who the hell was she trying to fool!! After wiping the tears from my eyes, I grabbed my orange juice and left leaving her just staring in shock.
As I made my way to the foyer, I was stopped by Noah.
<i>“</i><i>Grd</i>. <i>A </i><i>word</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
I slowly turned around, irritation on my face. Noah looked at me with slight guilt as he
cleared his throat.
“Um, <i>I </i><i>trust </i><i>you </i><i>spoke </i><i>with </i><i>mother</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
I stared at him nonchntly. He continued nervously.
<i>“</i><i>Did </i>she <i>apologize</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>She </i><i>did</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
“<i>That’s </i><i>good</i><i>. </i><i>Well </i><i>then </i><i>you-</i>”
I beganughing causing him to pause and stare at me confused.
<i>“</i><i>Did </i>I <i>say </i><i>something </i><i>funny?</i>”
<i>“</i><i>As </i><i>a </i><i>matter </i><i>of </i><i>fact</i>, <i>you </i><i>did</i>. <i>I </i><i>never </i><i>said </i>I <i></i><fnfacb> Updates are released by FιndNovel</fnfacb>
