Chapter 1411 Indecent Relationship
Beryl lowered her head, her ears turning red. "Mom, don't think too much. My boss really just feels that it's not easy
for me to study and work while also dealing with my father's illness, so he helped..."
"He casually helps others?" If it were any other day before meeting Marcellus, Wallis might have believed it, but
now she saw through the act. "Let's say, even if he had good intentions, which boss cares so much about an
employee's mother?"
No matter how warm-hearted someone might be, they wouldn't have shown such care, especially after Marcellus's
recent display.
Wallis was an experienced person, and she had seen through this kind of trick.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeryl had no room for sophistry. As soon as she thought about how her subtle interactions with Marcellus just now
had been noticed by Wallis, she felt embarrassed and had nowhere to hide her face.
Seeing her daughter's silence, Wallis knew that her suspicion was probably correct. Her heart sank to the bottom,
"Are you really having an inappropriate relationship with your boss?"
"No!" Beryl hurriedly explained, "Mom, my relationship with my boss is very clean. There's nothing between us, but
we do have mutual feelings for each other."
She put it in a more tactful way, afraid that any specific wording might lead to more misunderstandings.
"He's so much older than you and a successful man. What kind of girl hasn't he seen? Why would he like a student
like you?" Wallis became more and more uneasy. "You haven't been deceived, have you?"
"Oh, Mom, you're really misunderstanding." Beryl became anxious, feeling frantic. "With his wealth and status, why
would he need to deceive me? There's no benefit in it for him... Besides, do you really doubt me like this?"
Even though she said that Wallis still couldn't rest assured. "Beryl, you are all by yourself studying here, and we
worry about you so much. It would be best to end whatever relationship you have with Mr. Perkins as soon as
possible. I will make sure to pay back the money and interest as soon as possible. You don't need to get involved in
between."
"Also," after speaking, Wallis specially warned, "Your aunt and Uncle Jamal asked about Mr. Perkins yesterday. I
didn't say anything and won't say anything in the future. If they find out, although they won't say anything to your
face, they will surely suspect. As a young girl, your reputation is most important. You need to be careful with your
words."
Beryl frowned. Although she and Marcellus were dating, they hadn't crossed any boundaries yet. Why were they
being regarded as if they were committing some great betrayal and immorality?
She felt a bit defiant but didn't want Wallis to worry or get angry. She reluctantly nodded, replying in a sulky tone, "I

The two of them finally got into the bus. They sat down after paying the fare. Wallis was still lost in thought, trying
to process what had just happened during dinner, and was staring blankly out the window at the flowing traffic.
Meanwhile, Marcellus had already started sending messages to Beryl.
"Did you get in the car? How did you get back?"
Beryl carefully adjusted the screen brightness of her phone to the lowest level and quickly replied.
"We took the bus back, and we're on our way. Don't worry."
Not even half a minute later, another message from Marcellus came through.
"What did your mom say?"
Seeing these simple words, Beryl paused her fingers for a moment. She pondered for a while but still couldn't bear,
to tell the truth. Dashing his excitement would be cruel, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"She didn't say much. My mom said you're a very kind person and asked me to thank you properly."
