Chapter 45 Vibrant Debate
Brian heard what Rita just said and burst into laughter, he pushed the wheelchair towards Jane, Brian looked at Rita and said:
“Your rich imagination and talent for storytelling are commendable. Although you have never met or interacted with my servant, but you understands her personality better than I do. That makes me feel surprised and interesting.”
Rita heard Brian say that also felt a little scared, she immediately looked to Bonie for help. Bonie is a person who hates Jane very much because of the times she made Bonie miserable and humiliated in front of other servants when her master Brian constantly scolded and punished her for misbehaving with Jane.
Therefore, Bonie always has a mood to retaliate against Jane when she has the opportunity. And this is a rare opportunity to help Bonie do that. Bonie must take advantage of it and must not miss out. That’s why Bonie signaled to Rita to calm down, next she walked up to Rita and said for him:
“Master Brian, you shouldn’t say that. We are servants after all, we understand each other and work together for a long time. How can we not understand and be aware of that. And have you forgotten that all the servants here have one thing in common? It is always wanting to be noticed, loved by the owner and make her owner happier. So does Jane. She’s your only servant again, she won’t let go of the chance to get your attention and want to be your woman.”
Without waiting for Brian’s response, Rita quickly interrupted and said:
“Right. It was I who saw it all. Jane seduced Master Brian and forced him to cook for her to complete the exam.”
At this point, Jane can’t stand Rita’s lies and slander about her personality. Jane clenched her fist and was about to run away, but was caught by Brian’s hand. She was about to cry, she couldn’t stand here and let others humiliate her, she wanted to find somewhere to cry comfortably. But her small wish was extinguished by him.
Brian grabbed Jane’s hand and didn’t let her run away. She tried to flail away but was held back by Brian’s hand. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and whispered:
“Please, let go of my hand. I want to leave this place.”
He looked at her with cold eyes, and said in a calm, reassuring voice to Jane:
“Calm down, Jane. Listen to me, you should stay here, I’ll prove you’re not such a woman by what they say. All are slander of them, if you leave, it means that everything other people say about you are completely true. And you deal with it by running away? ”
Jane was encouraged by Brian’s small words, she was persuaded by him and kept her composure. Jane took a deep breath and tried to hold back the tears and forced a smile at him. Brian calmed down a bit and inquired:
“Are you feeling better yet?”
Jane nodded silently.
“Yes.”
Brian slowly let go of Jane’s hand to let her relax her whole body, he continued to turn to Rita and Bonie, Brian said in a cold voice:
“Is your story over yet? Or is it still ongoing? There’s so much left to say, can you both say it?”
Bonie nudged Rita’s arm to speak for her. Since she’s made a lot of mistakes before, Brian will use it as an excuse to get back at Bonie. But Rita is different, she has discovered and seen with her own eyes everything about Jane and owner Brian, so her words are more trustworthy and weighty. That’s why Rita was even braver, she replaced Bonie to continue saying what she had seen:
“It is still there. Owner Brian was controlled by Jane and he followed her advice and did all the cooking steps on the fourth dish. She just stood there watching and watching her master do it with admiration and admiration. I wonder if someone who doesn’t do anything and lets someone else do it all deserves this reward? Everyone give me opinions.”
Everyone in the room was annoyed, and quickly retorted:
“It’s a shameless fraud, I don’t agree with this injustice. She doesn’t deserve that reward.”
Chesa saw Jane shivering at the harsh words from the servants, she put a smile on her lips and did not react at all. As for Mr. Wibul, since he tasted that dish, he has recognized the familiar, unmistakable taste of his nephew’s cooking.
It’s just that Brian hasn’t cooked in a long time, which makes Wibul uncertain about the flavors he’s tasted and his perception. But now, everything has been exposed in the most honest and clear way, it makes him quite surprised because of that. When Brian personally went to the kitchen, cooking for himself just because of his little maid.
Wibul looked at everyone around him, he couldn’t let this go on forever, so Wibul signaled everyone to stop and turned to Brian and said loudly:
“Enough, everyone keep order and be quiet. Brian, you and your servant were exposed like that. Do you have any objections?”
Brian smiled and replied:
“Why do I have to protest when the Lawrence mansion is full of cameras everywhere? And Chesa, isn’t she the one who foresaw and ignored everything that was happening in front of her? Why is she silent? Why didn’t she tell you anything when choosing the Tikka masala dish? So isn’t that indirect cheating? When she was an official judge who took the initiative to organize this contest. Furthermore, even if the judge ignored it and hid it from revealing when knowing that, would another maid’s words when witnessing things from afar have any effect?”
Chesa heard the words that Brian imposed on her, she got angry and replied to him:
“Enough, Brian. Why do you speak ill of me in front of so many people? I assure you that I was not aware of the maid Jane’s cheating. Until I heard what Rita said and I was surprised when I discovered it. You’re the one who did the wrong thing and now you’re looking for a replacement right?”
Brian smiled and tilted his head, replying:
“You are indeed a flexible woman in the way you talk and behave with your prey. All right, if you need proof, I’ll expose it. ”
He motioned for his butler Allen to open a short video for all to see. In it is the image of Chesa standing in the overhead observation room and watching all the actions of the servants participating in the competition in the two kitchens. She focused on watching the servants cook and didn’t notice or discover that she was also being secretly watched by Brian. Brian looked at Chesa’s awkward expression when he was exposed, he was extremely comfortable and added:ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Does Lady Chesa still refuse? I found my grandmother to be a dedicated and devoted person to this contest. But I don’t understand, how can you forgive Jane, not remove her when Jane put four dishes on the long table but hide them all, implicitly acting as if it was no big deal happened. And since the lady tacitly acknowledged it as a secret, Jane can fully receive this reward. Because the judges concealed for the players, the injustice was obvious from the beginning. Is there anything else you want to say?”
Chesa’s face was red, she couldn’t keep her composure and shouted:
“Brian, stop it. I’m still your grandma and you don’t have the right to call me that. The reason I conceal your cheating is because I respect you as my nephew. I didn’t want Mr. Wibul to be upset when he received the news, his nephew clearly helping his servant cheat in this contest. I was kind enough to forgive you, but you were treacherous and slandered against me.”
Hearing this, Brian clapped his hands to cut Chesa, he cheerfully said:
“Thank you madam for worrying about me so much. But it seems you are trying to distract people to think under your control and think that you are a very good lady because you care so much for your grandson. But the truth is it is completely opposite, this contest is too. I just find it is a waste of time and really funny.”
