NovelEnglishChapter 521 "Jade, did you want to see me?" The night had already been overwhelming just as Mila finally figured out how to handle Lysander, trouble flared up with the kids.
Her mind was still a tangled mess when she was summoned to Jade's study.
She'd originally wanted to keep things from Jade, worried the news might upset her. But the moment she saw the butler's laptop screen, she fell silent. "Jade, you know everything." "Yes." Jade's face was unreadable. "If I hadn't called you here, were you planning to keep this from me?" Mila said nothing.
"I'm not as fragile as you think." Jade's tone was cool. "Now, what are you going to do about it?" Mila didn't answer right away.
She pulled the laptop closer, scrolling through the files. What Jade had was far more detailed-and brutally clear- compared to what Leonard had mentioned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe herself had just learned the truth today.
Somehow, Julian Pembroke and Adrian had ended up not only at the sschool, but in the sclass. Mila couldn't make sense of it.
Didn't Sophia hate her? Wasn't there deep resentment between them? Why would she send her own child to Adrian's class, knowing full well the boys didn't get along? Mila thought back to the incident at the restaurant. With these two in the sclassroom, the odds of something going wrong were almost a guarantee.
Then she saw the photos in the file.
Julian lay in a hospital bed, bandages wrapped around his head and torso, unconscious. His injuries looked serious.
And the explanation? Apparently, Adrian had pushed Julian down the stairs. Impossible.
Adrian had promised her-no more fights, no more violence, ever.
But then another voice crept into her mind-Was he lying to you? This wasn't the first tshe'd seen his temper, wild and unpredictable, just like his father's. Last time, simply seeing Julian had nearly set him off-he'd almost smashed a plate in anger.
Don't forget, he's a Montgomery.
She couldn't be sure.
But...
Mila stared at the laptop, her hands clenching tightly in her lap, eyes burning. He promisedhe wouldn't fight. Was he lying to me? That voice again: He's a Montgomery.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm-The Montgomery family are nothing but liars! "Mila?" dher Jade noticed her lost in thought and made a gesture for the butler to close the laptop. Only when Mila finally cback to herself did Jade ask, somewhat impatiently, "What are you thinking about? I asked you a question-what's your plan?" "I'm going back home," Mila said, no longer hesitating.
Jade frowned, tapping the closed laptop in annoyance. "What for? Honestly, why do you still care about that boy? He's nothing but trouble always causing chaos, never a day of peace! Let the Montgomerys sort out their own mess!" "Jade!" Mila pressed her temples, exasperated. "I have to see for myself. I want to hear it from Adrian, from his own mouth-was it really him?" Jade fell silent.
After a moment, she sighed. "So, what-you don't believe he did it?" "I... I don't know." Mila lowered her gaze, voice uncertain but resolute. “But at the very least, as his mother, I have to be there for him. And Jade, he promised me." She didn't want to believe Adrian had lied.
She needed to find out for herself whether out of duty or simply a mother's instinct.
She was his mom.
And honestly, she wasn't exactly at ease about Julian either. Knowing the Ο boy was in such bad shape, and with old conflicts between the two, why had Sophia put them in the sschool? What was she thinking? How could she treat her child like this? But considering Jade's attitude toward the Montgomerys-and Adrian-Mila hesitated, uncertain how Jade would react if she insisted on going. "Jade, I....." "You can go." To Mila's surprise, Jade agreed. But then she added, "On one condition."
"Mila, you know how I feel. I've never liked you keeping in contact with the Montgomerys-especially Adrian. That boy's been out of control for years, and don't try to tellotherwise." "Even now..." "Anyway, I'll allow you to go this time. But when you see Adrian, you make him choose-cback to England with you, or stay with the Montgomerys." "If he chooses to stay with the Montgomerys, then once this is over, he's no longer our responsibility. Other than a set amount for child support, wedone. But if he chooses to cback with you, I'll let bygones be bygones, and I'll devote all our resources to his future. In that case, the Montgomerys will have no claim on him." Jade paused, meeting Mila's stunned gaze, then continued, "But no matter what, you have seven days."
"Seven days-whether things are resolved or not, you must cback! If you don't, I don't care how old and frajlam, I'll cget you myself.
Understand?" "...Understood," Mila whispered.
