Chapter 763 Quarrel

"Oh? Is that true? I don't even know that." Edmund pretended to be confused and snorted. He looked
at Terence and smiled.

"Of course!" Leo immediately understood and echoed his grandfather. "That day, Hester was in the
yard to breathe some fresh air. Mr. Terence seemed to be drunk, and his behavior was somewhat
offensive. It happened that Derek and I saw it, so we taught him a lesson. Now I think about it, I am
indeed a little impulsive!"

His words were polite, but in fact, they was laughing at Terence. He molested other people's fiancee
and cousin like this, and it was really kind of polite not to maim him.

Edmund's face darkened and he looked at Terence discontentedly. "Mr. Terence, is that true?"

Terence straightened up and nodded. "I was too impulsive that day. Please forgive me, Grandpa
Edmund!"

"Huh! I can't afford your apology!" Edmund snorted and looked sullen. "Mr. Terence is a rare young
talent in the younger generation, so you don't have to take me seriously."

"Grandpa Edmund, it's not like that." Terence was anxious, watching the situation deviate from the
previous track and go in an unpredictable direction.

His purpose of coming here today was to cancel Hester's engagement, so as to fight for some
possibilities for him to be together with her.

On the other side, Hester stayed in her room and looked at the small garden outside the window. She
tapped her fingertips gently on the windowsill and raised her eyebrows. "It's so boring!"

If it went on like this, she almost doubted that she was going to mold. If it weren't for her grandfather's
health, she would have gone out to work in her law office.



Everyone in the Liu family was capable enough to feel that they had taken over all her tasks.

Sheryl had resigned from the position of special assistant of Qi Group, so she rushed to her law office
happily and began a new journey.

Hester had also asked her whether she had learned anything related to law in a trembling voice, but
she just said lightly, "no!" So Hester was finally speechless.

She walked back and forth in the room and clapped her hands. She decided to go out to have a look!

"Hardy? What's up?" As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hardy standing at the door of her room
like a stone statue.

He smiled and nodded slightly. "Miss Hester, you don't look well, so I want to ask you if you want to eat
the white fungus and lotus seed soup. I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you!"

Hester frowned in bewilderment and touched her face. She felt that she had gained some weight, but
why did he still think that she didn't look well?

However, Hardy did it out of kindness, so she couldn't be ungrateful!

"Thank you for your concern, Hardy. I want to go to the law office. Sheryl is there alone. I'm afraid she
will be tired!"

"Miss Sheryl's working ability is obvious to all. You can rest assured!" Hardy said with a smile. "Miss
Hester, you'd better have a good rest!"

"Well..." The smile at the corners of Hester's mouth was very stiff. It was not because she was
ungrateful, but because she had stayed in her room for a long time, and she would inevitably be tired!

"Hardy, just let me go! Staying in my room every day will make me sick!"



"Miss Hester, I know you are depressed. It took the master a long time to find you back, and he loves
you very much. So you'd better stay in the room!" Hardy smiled and asked Hester to stay, with sweat
on his forehead.

"I see. I'll take a walk in the yard." Hester waved her hand listlessly and left without waiting for Hardy's
answer.

If she waited a little longer, Hardy would probably find a lot of excuses to let her stay in the room.

"Miss Hester..." Hardy hurried forward and tried to stop Hester, but she left too fast and soon
disappeared from his sight.

Standing still and looking around, Hardy was so anxious that he was sweating.

"How can I explain this to the master?"

Hester hid behind the door and successfully got rid of him. She walked out with a relaxed look and
clapped her hands. She wandered in the yard and enjoyed the scenery.

Then she seemed to hear the sound of conversation, mixed with a little anger.

The Liu family had always been united. Why did they quarrel for no reason?

She carefully hid behind the big tree and quietly looked at the situation here. But when she saw the
man's face clearly, her back was stiff.

She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound. Her nails were digging the tree, and
her eyes were dark.

"Grandpa Edmund, please give me a chance! I promise I will treat Hester well and won't let her suffer
any grievance!" Terence nodded and promised again and again that he would be good to her.



"Promise?" Edmund sneered and didn't believe any of his promises at all. "Terence, how can you
promise? Isn't it enough for Hester to be bullied and insulted in your Qi family?

Although your mother took her in and brought her up, you have almost worn her gratitude out over the
years, haven't you? Please let her go!"

"Grandpa Edmund, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but Hester's engagement will cause a lot of
unnecessary trouble." Terence clenched his fists. He had foreseen what would happen to him in the Liu
family today, and tried his best to control his temper, avoiding direct conflict with them.

He knew clearly that Hester had suffered so much in Qi family. It was reasonable for the Liu family to
treat him like this today, and he could not blame anyone else.

"Trouble?" Leo laughed with anger, and his gentle face turned a little stern. "Terence, the two of us are
not here to discuss with you. The marriage between Hester and Derek has been decided, and there
can't be any mistake. I advise you to give up early!"

Things had always been related to the marriage of Hester and Derek, round and round like a carousel.
Hester, who was hiding aside, was very upset to hear that.

"Terence, you can go back now!" With a cold face, Edmund's mood sank to the bottom. The Qi family
was so shrewd that they could use everything to the extreme.

"I don't care about what happened to your mother in the past. If you come to pester Hester again, don't
blame me for being rude to you!"

Terence frowned. He knew that Edmund had run out of patience and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
But he came here today to make it clear to Hester. Now that he hadn't even seen her, he was naturally
unwilling.



"Grandpa Edmund, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother! But I think you'd better leave the matter
between me and Hester to the two of us!"
