Chapter 244 – Do You See What He Has Done?
"Adrik…I will be back soon, I promise. I just need to get the rest of my mother's things out of there." Leia pleaded, and Adrik reluctantly nodded at her. "Be careful, okay." He leaned in and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
"I will." She smiled at him and grabbed the car key from the table, then turned around and exited the room, shutting the door behind her.
She made her way downstairs and unlocked the Rolls Royce, then stepped in and shut the door. She started the car's engine and slowly drove out of the compound and onto the road.
Her eyes glanced around as she sped down the road, and on reaching her destination, her face darkened and her hand tightened on the steering wheel.
The guards at the mansion immediately opened the gate for her on recognizing her, and she drove in with no expression evident on her face.
She parked the car at the parking lot and stepped down, shutting the door behind her. Her eyes glanced around the home she once lived in, and viciousness flickered in her orifices.
She stuffed the car key into her pocket and began to stroll into the mansion, ignoring the maids, whose eyes widened in shock and surprise. They honestly never expected to see her, and worse, their master was not at home.
The instant she strolled into the living room and moved to walk up the stairs, she came face-to-face with none other than Amy.
They stared at each other, and Amy's brow arched as her face altered in disdain. "What are you doing here?"
Leia assessed her from head to toe, and without bothering to give her an answer, she walked past her, knocking on her shoulder, and began to make her way upstairs.
Amy's face darkened deeply in rage and she stormed after her, grabbing her harshly by the hand. However, the moment she turned Leia around, Leia's hand slapped across her face, causing her to fall to the floor. "Are you stupid?" Leia questioned her in a deadly tone, and she immediately stood up from the floor with her face twitching in fury and raised her hand to slap her back. However, Leia caught her hand with her left hand and used her right one to give her yet another slap.
"You-"
"Listen here, bitch. No matter how stupid you might be, don't you ever try to mess with me. Otherwise, it might cost you more than you can imagine." She viciously smiled at her and turned around, walking up the stairs with much elegance.
Amy's body vibrated in deep rage, and her hands clenched and unclenched in anger. She stomped her feet on the floor and hurriedly moved to grab her phone and make a call to her father.
Leia's eyes glanced down the hallway, and she walked further in and halted in front of the door of her mother's room.
She slowly pushed it open and stepped in, hoping to see her mother's things in there, but her face twitched in shock on seeing not a single thing in the room except for the empty bed and sofa.
She rushed into her room, only to realize that her room was also cleared. "What the fuck?!?" She instantly flew into a panicked rage and proceeded to stroll out of the room and confront everyone regarding the missing things in it. However, she halted on seeing Jenny standing by the door with a guilty expression on her face.
A hot, furious breath fled her nose and she proceeded to walk past her out of the room, but Jenny stopped her and took a deep breath. "You won't find anything. A few weeks ago, Father asked all the maids to take it all out and dispose of it."
"What!" A quick, furious breath escaped Leia's nose, and she took deep breaths to calm herself down. "What the fuck?" She staggered back and fell onto the bed with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Am sorry…" Jenny apologized and moved to sit beside her on the bed. "I, uh, tried to stop him, but I was not able to." She explained, and Leia roughly rubbed her face to calm herself down, then turned to glance at her with her brows arched in suspicion. "Why are you being nice to me?" She inquired as she couldn't help but be confused by the sudden change in behavior. Jenny was never nice to her, right from when they were young.
A subtle breath exited Jenny's nose, and she turned to face her. "Um… I know we were never on good terms and I honestly never liked you then, but I had my reasons."
"I was already at least seven years old when my dad married your mum, and I was not happy about it. I mean, my mother was pregnant with Amy and I felt like… it wasn't fair for him to marry your mum while my mother was pregnant with his child. That was the reason why I never liked you from the start, but then again, it didn't mean that I was happy, witnessing everything our father did to you. I felt bad then, but I didn't want to show that I did, and that's why I always smiled then to appear happy about it. I was trying to tell myself that I didn't feel bad when in reality I did."
"What I just want to say is that I am sorry for everything and that I hope you don't hold it against me." She took deep breaths, and Leia's eyes blinked slowly as she found herself unable to believe it.
"I know you don't believe me, but I really am sorry." She apologized yet again, and Leia stared deeply into his eyes and found herself shocked to see that she was genuinely sorry. "Um… okay… I, uh, I accept your apology." She shrugged as she didn't find it a big thing. I mean, although Jenny never liked her, she never did anything bad to her either.
"Thank you." Jenny nodded with a pessimistic smile on her lips and stood up to leave, but halted as she recalled something. "I also hope that you forgive Amy for all the stupid things she has done and don't hold any grudges against her." She cupped her hands together and pleaded, but Leia did not react and stared at her without blinking.
Seeing no reaction from her, she turned around and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her.
Leia's eyes flickered in disbelief, and she slightly shook her head, then glanced around the room again with pain in her eyes, "Mum, do you see what he has done?"
