Chapter 234 Don't Try to Fool Me!
When Kyle saw Kayla appear, he was surprised. He had met Kayla before and knew she was Arthur's mother-in-law, so he didn't dare to stop her but just implied that Arthur was not there when she barged into the top floor.
"Can you stop talking nonsense? Don't you know who I am?" Kayla said snappishly, annoyed at Kyle who gave the runaround and blocked her way.
"Of course, I know you are Mr. Davies's mother-in-law and have a noble status, but Mr. Davies is not here right now, so I can't let you enter his office," Kyle said, troubled. Sweat appeared on his forehead as he thought to himself, 'Mr. Davies, you gotta be on my side if I offend your mother-in-law because of this.'
"Are you afraid I'm going to do something bad to Arthur?" Kayla questioned Kyle.
"No, I am not afraid," Kyle said with his head down. He glanced up and saw Kayla glaring at him, so he hurriedly explain, "No, I am sure you will never do anything bad to Mr. Davies!"
"If so, just let me in," Kayla said in an unpleasant tone.
"I can't." Kyle's faint voice said. He dutifully stood in Kayla's way, but it didn't work for Kayla.
Since Kyle refused to give way, Kayla looked coldly at him and began to walk forward. Kyle dared not to stop her or call security, so he was forced to step all the way back to the office door. At this time Kyle really hoped that the office could be locked, but Arthur didn't put a lock on the office door since the whole floor was locked down usually.
"Get out of the way! Or I won't show you any mercy!" When Kyle's entire back was against the office door, Kayla snapped in annoyance.
Kyle saw the anger in Kayla's eyes. Startled, he could only move to the side.
Kayla glared at Kyle and reached out to push open the door to Arthur's office. Kyle followed behind her for fear that something would go wrong.
Entering the office, Kayla looked around the interior and then headed straight for Arthur's desk with a clear purpose.
Kyle wanted to ask Kayla to stop, but he said nothing when he saw Kayla standing next to the chair and looking at the desk.
'Is this woman Lucia? Is this child their son?'
Kayla thought to herself when she looked at the pictures on the desk.
Kayla discovered that the picture of her daughter on Arthur's desk was taken with Arthur when she was a teenager. The pictures of Lucia and Theodore, however, could take up a special place on the desk. It indicated that Arthur cherished them very much.
'He would rather argue with Juliana than throw these two pictures away?' Kayla sneered inside as she reached out, took their photos directly, and stuffed them into her bag.
'If you don't throw them away, I'll do it for you!'
"Mrs. Knight, what are you doing!" Kyle saw Kayla take some photos away. He knew those photos were more important to Arthur than any other trade secret!
Kayla looked at Kyle nonchalantly. She expected that he would not dare make a move against her, so she said coldly, "Tell Arthur to come to me if he wants the pictures back." "Mrs. Knight, you are giving me a hard time, aren't you?" Kyle said bitterly.
"So what? Just tell him what I've told you. I'll wait for him!" Kayla said and left with her bag. Kyle followed behind her. He could do nothing but tried to figure out how to give Arthur an explanation. Getting out of Branch of Davonnis, Kayla headed for Fragranerde Hall. She thought Sophie would be surprised to see her, but Sophie was calm as usual, which made Kayla more dissatisfied. "You don't seem surprised at my arrival." Sitting on the sofa, Kayla stared coldly at Sophie without drinking the tea made by Sophie.
"Kayla, we have been friends for decades. I know your temper well," Sophie said gently.
Kayla snorted. Though she had cursed Sophie countless times in her mind, she couldn't just throw a fit when talking to Sophie face to face. They had been friends for decades. It was not that easy to break off their friendship.
"How many days are you planning to stay here?" Sophie asked.
"Just skip the pleasantries. I came to ask you when you are going to give an explanation to Julia!" Kayla cut straight to the point.
Sophie smiled at that and said, "Nothing has happened yet. Why do you want me to offer an explanation?"
"Nothing has happened yet?" Kayla was straightforward. She was not happy to hear that. "First, you doubt my grandson's origin. Second, Arthur hides the fact that he has a son with another woman. But you think nothing has happened yet?"
"Everything that happens has a cause and effect. It's our fault that we haven't informed you, but have you ever thought about why Julia hasn't told you? When Julia returned to the country, Arthur and Lucia have been in a love relationship. She did not mention it to you, right?"
Sophie suppressed her emotions for Arthur's sake, but it didn't mean that the Davies family had to bear all the injustice and guilt. It was true that Juliana tried to sow discord. For a person of bad character like Juliana, Sophie would never let him or her off the hook. If not for her friendship with the Knight family, she would have told everything to Kayla.
Kayla found it hard to answer Sophie's question. Judging from Juliana's tone of voice earlier, she could tell Juliana knew the past relationship between Arthur and that woman.
When Kayla was lost in thought with her brows knitted, Sophie sighed softly. She couldn't figure out why the relationship between the Knight family and the Davies family became such a mess.
"Kayla, you know me well. I am not an unreasonable person. I insisted on testing the baby's DNA and allowed Arthur to visit his son abroad. Do you think that all I did is to make things difficult for Julia? I brought Julia up. To be honest, I spent more time with her than you did. I have taken her as my child. Why would I give her a hard time unreasonably?"
"Then tell me why you did all this!" Kayla couldn't retort Sophie, so she could only ask Sophie for a clear answer.
"As elders, there are some things we can't get out in the open. You just need to know I am not trying to make things difficult for Juliana. As to the rest, it is the business between Julia and Arthur." Sophie was reluctant to reveal the things about Juliana to Kayla.
"You mean, I have to go back and ask Julia?" said Kayla, frowning.
"It's up to you. You're Julia's mother. I can't decide that for you." Sophie knew how much it would hurt Kayla and Robert to have Juliana tell them that she had been raped, so she couldn't decide anything for Kayla.
