C11 The Old Patriarch Had Invited Her

Seeing that the sky was bright, Winona stayed by his bedside and waited for him to get better. In the end, it was Winona who felt sorry for her and forced her to go back to rest.

After returning home to wash up, Jovie tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. After thinking for a while, she decided to take a taxi to the Loxley Manor.

The security guard saw that the person in the taxi was Jovie and greeted her without any restraint.

Who in the entire manor didn't know that this was the Young Lord's apple?

If he didn't let her in, would she still be alive?

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the main building and could not go any further. Jovie got out of the car and planned to go around the main building to find Keane on the east floor.

The voice of the butler of Old patriarch came from behind her.

"Miss Quiller, Miss Quiller, please wait a moment. Our Old patriarch has invited you!"

Jovie turned around and Butler Chen caught up to her. He stood in front of her and made an inviting gesture with one hand behind his back.

With just a glance, Jovie was sure that Butler Chen was not Keane's man.

Otherwise, why would the butler of Old patriarch be so respectful to her?

Housekeeper Chen brought Jovie to the main building villa. The European royal style decorations were laid out in the main hall. It was dazzling and extravagant.

In the luxurious living room, Old patriarch was sitting on a white and gold leather sofa with Olesia beside him. They were chatting happily.

Finneas' mother, Ying Ruo Hua, and Keane's aunt came over with a cup of tea.

"Dad, what are you guys talking about? I haven't seen you smile so happily in a long time."

"Oh, it's just a casual chat. It's only because Ruo Xi knows how to talk that I can make this old man so happy."

Old Patriarch Loxley was more and more satisfied with Olesia. He wanted her to marry into the Loxley family so that he could keep talking to this lonely old man.

"Of course not. Grandfather is the one who has shown me love."

Olesia smiled and said humbly.

After she finished speaking, Butler Chen came in to report that Jovie had arrived.

The old patriarch's face instantly changed. He held the walking stick and knocked on the ground with the head of the walking stick. He snorted coldly and said, "Let that woman in!"

After Butler Chen received the order, he went out to bring Jovie over.

"Old Patriarch, you are looking for me."

Jovie came in front of Old Patriarch Loxley and greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Old patriarch picked up the fruit tea, and Olesia hurriedly brought out the ingredients that he needed to add to the tea, causing Old patriarch to look at her with more satisfaction. He didn't even spare a glance at Jovie.

The old patriarch didn't respond, so Jovie could only stand there. When Olesia finished serving the second cup of tea for the old patriarch, he spoke in a low voice.

"Miss Quiller, are you here to find Xiao Chen?"

"Yes."

"Are you here to see if Xiao Chen is dead or not? Or are you planning to stab him again? When will he die?"

Old patriarch Li placed the teacup back on the tea table. He propped himself up with his walking stick and stood up with Olesia's help. His sharp gaze landed on Jovie.

"I came to apologize."

Jovie bowed to the old patriarch. She didn't ask for his forgiveness, but she just hoped that he would agree to let her see Keane.

"Heh! Apologize? I'll stab you in the chest and apologize to you. Do you agree?"

Keane's aunt, Ying Ruo Hua, sneered. She stirred the fruit tea in the cup with a small spoon and looked at the swirling vortex in the cup.

"Do you know what the crime of murder is? Young master of the Loxley family, you stabbed me, and you didn't send me to jail. I already treated you well enough, but you still dare to come and find Xiao Chen?"

Jovie was unable to refute Ying Ruo Hua's words, nor did she intend to refute her. This was her fault in the first place.

"Miss Quiller, the Loxley family doesn't welcome you. Please leave!"

Olesia supported Old patriarch and acted like a matriarch. Jovie pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "..."

"I don't have any objections to the old patriarch chasing me out. May I ask what identity you have to chase me out of the Loxley family?"

"With just the fact that she is the Young Mistress of the Loxley family, is this enough?"

With the support of Old patriarch, Olesia's backbone became a lot stronger, and her face was filled with unconcealable surprise.

"Oh, then I will have to trouble Old patriarch to return this to Keane."

Jovie took out a ring box from her bag and opened it to show the Old patriarch the ring inside. Then, she handed the ring box to Butler Chen.

"Is this the mistress's ring?"

Ying Ruohua's eyes were sharp, and she immediately recognized that it was the symbol of the Loxley family's status as the mistress of the family.

Keane actually gave such an important thing to her.

Wasn't this telling everyone that Jovie was the future wife of the Young Lord of the Loxley family?

"This is ridiculous. How could a woman like you give such an expensive thing to a woman like me?"

The Old patriarch's face was red with embarrassment. He glanced awkwardly at Olesia, picked up the walking stick, and knocked on it again.

"Old patriarch, please don't attack me. I have already returned the item, and it won't affect you if you let Keane take it to the lady to get engaged."

Jovie's attitude was cold, and she didn't even want to look at the Old patriarch. She turned around and wanted to leave the East Villa to find Keane to apologize.

Anyone could blame her for the matter of Keane's injury. They could blame her for her fault, but if someone wanted to break up with her and Keane, she would never agree to it.

In this life, she could give up anything, except for him.

"Stop right there!"

Old Patriarch Loxley called out to Jovie sternly, but she did not turn around. She did not even stop.

With just a glance from Old patriarch, the guards stepped forward to stop Jovie.

"I won't let you meet Xiaochen again! Send Miss Quiller out of the manor. Don't let her take another step into the manor."

The first sentence was meant for Jovie, and the second sentence was meant for the Loxley family guards. Old Patriarch Loxley had given the order, so the guards could only invite Jovie out.

Jovie crouched in front of the manor and called Keane, but the other end of the phone was unanswered.

This was Keane's private number. It was not under Callan's control, so if she couldn't reach Keane, it meant that she really couldn't contact Keane.

Unable to do anything, Jovie sent a message to Keane and waited at the entrance of the manor from day to night.

The ringtone was too sudden in the silent night.

It was Winona's call. She wanted her to send something to the hospital.

Inside the ward.

Winona took the towel and wiped Andrew's body. Jovie lowered her head and sat on the sofa by the side, waiting for Winona's interrogation.

How could Finneas be so ungrateful? He actually told her mother about the matter of her tuition and medical fees.
