Chapter 553: A Threat to His Plans
Before Alfons could say anything, Gabi continued, [Ah, I forgot. Since you receive all the money from father, the original Sutton, I think it is best to give them a portion of it. Since it's like this, I don't want to disrespect my mother by giving her hard earn money to strangers. Thank you. I will bring souvenirs. One more thing… These people are going to say that I am trying to frame them. They are shameless, after all. However, no need to worry. I have solid evidence that will support my claims. We can release it on the media if you want to. Bye]
*BEEP*
"That's not true! I never — "Clarisse's face turned red.
"Alfons, what is going on? Why would she frame us like this?" Mary asked, confused. Before they could do anything to her, Gabi was already aggressively attacking them. If this continues, it would be hard for them to retaliate anymore.
"That's right. I bullied no one! How could she… frame me? Grandmother… this woman is too vicious! She is really looking down on us."
"Clarisse, stop talking." Mary immediately warned. They couldn't just say whatever they want in front of the butler who was clearly on Gabi's side. "Alfons…"
"Ah, Sir. I believe the person who delivered the result is already here. Shall I bring them in?" Spencer uttered with a harmless smile on his face.
"I will call Gabi, first."
"Ah, Sir, I believe unreachable."
"…" Alfons frowned as he dialed Gabi's number. Just as Spencer said, the number is indeed unreachable. He clenched his teeth. "Do you know where is she?"
"No, sir."
"Then — " What is he going to do now? "First, let me take you to the house. It is about a thirty-minute drive away from here." The only thing that he was sure of was the fact that Gabi wasn't joking. Gabi was bold enough to attack the Sealey Family. How could she cower in front of a nobody like Mary and Clarisse?
"But— "
"Are we really going to leave here?"
"How could you just let her do what she wants?"
"Clarisse, calm down."
"How could I still calm down after being treated like this?" Clarisse said. "She is so disrespectful. She thought that we came here because of money? No! It was because grandmother is dying! She could have just said it if she didn't want us in her life! What's the point of framing us and treating us like criminals?"
"Clarisse, calm down. I will talk to her. Don't worry about it. Once it's proven that you are indeed our relatives, I am certain that she would come around. This situation must have surprised her." Alfons said. He tried his best to send some warning glare to Clarisse, but it seems that the other didn't get it.
"Why is she acting all touched and mighty? She doesn't even have a single talent in her bones. Intelligent? She was homeschooled and didn't have any friends. She couldn't even adapt to a situation like this! Pah! If her IQ is really high then I am sure her EQ is the exact opposite! What's the use of being intelligent when you have no one in your life!?"
"Clarisse, enough."
"But grandmother that woman is really too much! How could she treat us like this? Just because she grew up without a mother doesn't mean that she has the right to be this rude!"
"Miss Clarisse, I am sure you are not aware of this, but the house is under the late Madam's name. When the late prime minister died, he didn't give the young miss any of his properties because he knew about the Miss' inheritance from her mother. So, everything inside this property is owned by the late madam. I believe Miss Gabi didn't want other people touching her mother's possessions. The young miss has always been like this. She was never the type of person that would allow other people to just waltz inside her life and touch what's hers. I do apologize in advance, but I can't let you insult the miss like this. Please leave immediately or I will call the police for trespassing." Spencer said the same smile was on his face.
"Spencer? How could you treat a guest like that?" Alfons frowned. It seems that Spencer already sided with Gabi. Is that the reason why the latter is acting arrogant?
"Sir, I am just protecting the miss from someone who is insulting her. I will let the miss know about this and asked her to punish me for kicking her guests away." Spencer had that confidence in her voice. It was something that Alfons never heard before.
Seeing that Spencer isn't planning to support him anymore, Alfons' face just got darker and darker. He was losing all of his cards! Gabi's actions are truly unpredictable and cruel. Right now, Alfons isn't confident that he would be able to control her in the near future."Let's see the DNA result first. Then I will drive them towards the house." Alfons made this decision because he didn't want to cause any more ruckus.
He didn't want this to affect his candidacy.
After a few minutes, Spencer came back with a man. Alfons immediately told the man to open the envelope and ….
"Huh? How could it be negative?" Clarisse was the first one who reacted after hearing the result. "How could it be like that?"
'That bitch!' Alfons could only feel his blood boiling from too much anger. Clearly, Gabi tampered with the result. Gabi was actually sinister enough to make him look like a fool! First, she created such a ruckus, making everyone think that Mary and Clarisse were here for the money. Because of this, a few servants heard Clarisse act like that. Second is the result. Gabi must have known that Alfons wouldn't refute the result in front of the servants.
And since the result is negative, there is no reason for Alfons to be this nice to Mary and Clarisse without raising suspicion that he already knew them! He actually fell into that woman's trap!
For the first time in years, Alfons felt like Gabi was a threat to his plans!
