Chapter 453 There Would Be No Place for Her!

At that word, the maid respectfully took a step back, made way for Jeanne, and said softly, "Mrs.Adams, go in."

Jeannie clenched her two hands together in some panic, and then nodded and stepped inside.

Olivia slightly turned her head sideways and said in a deep voice, "Come here, and kneel down."

When Jeanne heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.

She wanted to know the reason but did not dare to ask more, so she had to obediently go forward and kneel down on the futon next to Olivia.

After that, Olivia continued to pluck the string of beads in her hands, without any further instructions.

Jeanne knelt there, not daring to move or ask.

Until her knees were a bit numb, she gritted her teeth and turned her head to ask, "Grandma, if there is something I had done wrong, you can directly say to me..."

Without opening her eyes, Olivia said word for word, "I told you to kneel to let you make an introspection.Do you need me to tell you what you've done wrong?"

When Jeanne heard the words, she sucked in a cold breath and her face suddenly turned pale.

Even though she was discontented, she still had to swallow her anger and could not show it.

Jeanne’s knees were sore and numb after half an hour of kneeling, and she shifted her weight from side to side, screaming inwardly.

Just then, Olivia suddenly stood up and slowly walked to the chair next to her to sit down, with her somber gaze falling on Jeanne.

Jeanne finally couldn't help herself and said, "Grandma, I really don’t know what I've done wrong."

Olivia frowned, and after a pause, she said in a cold voice, "You have been married to August for almost three years, but you still can't hold August's heart and don't birth to a child for the Adams family, all of which I am not willing to say in front of the old ancestors anymore."

Olivia said it directly, and instantly, Jeanne’s face turned blue and then red, just like a palette.

"You and August have no feelings, but you insist on holding on to this marriage.As a woman, I understand your hardships and difficulties, but as a wife, you are not good enough! You often go to the company to cause trouble, and also to add to the chaos of the Lion Group at the most chaotic time.Do you think I don’t know these things if others don't tell me?"

Olivia was old, but her words were clear and powerful.

With a shudder, Jeanne unconsciously clenched her fist.She didn’t expect Olivia to know everything! Could it be that there were her spies in the company? She was so angry, but in front of Olivia, she didn’t dare to show it.

She bit her lower lip, weeping, and sadly expressed her loyalty, "Grandma, I was too concerned about August, and I never wanted to cause trouble for the company.

In fact, I went to the company to find August to ask about the situation and to see whether my family can provide help!"

"Save your breath!"

Olivia snorted, "You still don’t know why your Kelly family has become what it is today? Before and after the marriage, the Kelly family has been taking advantage of the Adams family, don't you know that?"

Jeanne was shaking with fear and was unable to speak at once.

After a pause, she looked up at Olivia aggrievedly, "Grandma, I know I’ve done wrong and I'm willing to be punished.I will definitely remember your teaching today for the rest of my life!"

When she heard this, Olivia's eyebrows knitted slightly and she stared at Jeanne for a long time without saying anything.

When August said he was going to marry Jeanne, she was actually opposed to it, but because she wanted to live a happy life in her old age and there was no other woman around August, she acquiesced.

But to her surprise, after almost three years, Jeanne had not only failed to give birth to her great- grandchildren but also her relationship with August had become increasingly distant.

Although she was not always at home, she could know that the marriage between them only existed in name.

Moreover, Jeanne was making trouble from time to time, so she had no good feelings toward Jeanne.

But no matter what, as long as August didn’t say anything, she wouldn't say anything.

Except for the occasional teaching and questioning, she couldn’t do anything.

After a few moments, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "All right, get up."

With her eyes lit up, Jeanne immediately got up, but her knees had long been numb, so she fell back to her knees with a "thud" after her legs trembled, Olivia frowned at the sight, but she did not say the words that came to her lips and looked away from her.

With a slightly somber look on her face, Jeanne pulled out a hard, embarrassed smile and slowly stood up, "Grandma, I'll take to heart everything you told me today.Don’t worry, and I won't let you down."

Olivia looked to one side and waved her hand, saying nothing.

Jeanne took a deep breath and limped out, and just as she reached the door, she saw the maid who had been waiting outside.

She took steps forward and before she could take two steps, she heard Olivia's voice coming from the Buddha Room, "Fay, come in."

The woman who was called Fay was not young, in her fifties, with a kind face.She was polite to everyone, yet a bit distant and cold, which obviously showed that she was someone close to Olivia.

Jeanne walked to the stairway and turned her head just in time to see Fay striding into the room.She pulled her lips, showing a look of disdain.

Then, she bent down and rubbed the knees of both legs, muttering secretly, "Old woman! Made me kneel for more than an hour!"

Jeanne had never suffered this kind of grievance before, and she didn't expect that when Olivia had just returned from the sanatorium, Olivia would set her up in such a way, which really made her feel angry.

She was about to go downstairs when she suddenly realized that she had left her cell phone in the Buddha Room.

When she kneeled on the futon for so long just now, she casually put her cell phone on the ground to the side, not expecting that she would forget to take it.

The thought of going back to that depressing Buddha Room made Jeanne feel repulsed, but she had no choice but to go back.

After a moment's hesitation, she turned around and walked towards the Buddha Room, only to find that the door of the Buddha Room wasn't closed, and she could hear the faint sound of conversation coming from inside.

With a thought, she couldn't help but take a lighter step and slowly approach the room, looking through the doorway.

Olivia took out a photo from her side pocket, handed it to Fay, and ordered, "Send someone to check out the background of these two children, including anything about them."

After a moment's hesitation, Fay reached for the picture and asked softly, "Old Madame, aren't those the two little kids we met at the mall the other day?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Yes."

Olivia nodded, "They really look too much like August when he was a kid, so it is important to find out their identities!"

"Yes!"

Jeanne, who was standing in the doorway, listened to their conversation.

As soon as she heard that the little kids looked like August, she felt her heart tighten and inexplicably thought of Timothy and Janet.

Was she talking about Lucia's two children? Jeanne was so excited and hated that she gritted her teeth, but she didn’t expect a voice to suddenly come from the room, "Who's there?"

With her body tightening and eyes flashing, Jeanne instantly came back to her senses and pushed the door in, smiling apologetically at Olivia and Fay, "Grandma, I forgot my phone and came back to get it."

With that, she pointed to the cell phone sitting on the floor next to the futon, embarrassedly walked over, and picked it up.

Frowning, Olivia didn’t say anything and let her fetch her phone and leave.

Jeanne’s blood was boiling when she came out of the Buddha Room, because she had just secretly seen the photo in Fay’s hand when she went in, and it was really Lucia’s two children! Jeanne didn't expect Olivia to be so eager to find these two children just after she returned.

If she knew about Timothy, Janet, and Lucia’s relationship, there would be no place for her in the Adams family then.
