Chapter 181 It Was Because Of Nova!
After preening herself in front of the mirror, Kelly set off.
She had been thinking all evening about how to greet Mabel and she even primed the opening line for
their
meeting again for fear of getting off a bad start.
But…
When she arrived at King Mansion, she didn’t see Mabel.
“Bates, is grandma at home?” She looked at the butler with doubts.
“Yes, Miss Kelly.” Bates nodded.
Kelly was wondering where Mabel is. “Where did she go so early in the morning?”
Bates had only to tell her truthfully. “Young master and Miss Nova came together early this morning to
collect
Old Mrs. King to Sulamani Abbey.”
“Sulamani Abbey?” Kelly was confused at his answer. Why did they three go there?!

Why did Henry come here to pick grandma and why did Nova the bitch go with them together?
The butler just dropped his eyes to the ground and said no more.
Kelly took a deep breath to tame her anger and managed a smile. “Then… Bates, do you know when
grandma
will come back?”
“Sorry, Miss Kelly, I really don’t know exactly.”
Hearing this, Kelly twisted the handles of her bag and the gift–wrapped gift in her hands. The gift was
handpicked by her especially to please Mabel because she must ingratiate herself with Mabel so as to
win all
the families of Henry around.
At first, she thought with grandma’s favor, she could get around Henry’s father easily.
But things got difficult now! How could grandma recognize her if there was a Nova around her?!
Damn!
She was getting more and more irritated at the thoughts but given the butler, she didn’t expose her
anxiety and insecurity. “Well, I see. Thank you, Bates.” On the surface, she still looked meek.
Just when she was debating with herself what should she do next, there was a sound of footsteps
sounding upstairs. Kelly instantly raised her eyes and saw Sian walking down the stairs. Seeing her
chance, Kelly looked
up at Sian and said in an aggrieved tone, “Mrs. King…”
Recognizing her grievance in Kelly’s voice, Sian felt sympathy for her.
She sighed helplessly. “Good girl, sorry for that.”
Kelly hastened to shake her head. “Don’t have to be. I’m here just to visit grandma, but I didn’t bargain
on
finding she was not at home.”
Anger flashed in Sian’s eyes. “It was because of Nova!”
Kelly was going to mouth, but Sian pre–empted her. “You don’t have to excuse her for that. Come with
me,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour mother called me yesterday and told me that we have something more to discuss.”
There was something strange flickering in Kelly’s eyes when she heard Sian’s words. But she hid it well
with
her adorable smile. “As you like, Mrs. King.” Nodded she.
Sian was satisfied with her response and then they went upstairs.
The butler watched them upstairs until they were out of sight, then he took out his phone and texted
Henry.
“Master, Miss is here for Old Mrs. King. Yesterday Mrs. Sabina has called Mrs. King and they seemed to
have
something to scheme.”
When Henry received the message, the three had just arrived Sulamani Abbey.
After checking the message, he led Nova and Mabel into Sulamani Abbey.
There was someone waiting for them for a while since Abbot had known they would come. As soon as
the friar
saw them, he walked ahead and greeted them politely, “Follow me please, Abbot has been waiting for
you.” Mabel was excited right now and she gave a nod eagerly. “Thank you for leading the way for us.”
