Jenna smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Ella, there is something that I need to clarify today. Please cooperate with me."
Aunt Ella understood and smiled. She said seriously, "Yes, Young Madam. As long as you ask, I will tell you everything."
"Okay." Jenna nodded and sat down slowly. She smoothed the sheets on the bed over and over again with her soft hands, and then slowly revealed the red sheets inside. A red rose bloomed in the middle of the sheets, like a bloody demon.
She didn't speak, but just stroked the red sheets with her hand. Suddenly, she felt a pang in her chest, as if she had been stabbed in the heart. The scene from her wedding night was vivid in her mind. Until today, her heart was scarred. That night was too painful and she fainted because of the pain. She couldn't erase this feeling until now. Up until today, she still tried to refuse Hansen's advances. If she couldn't figure out the reason, there was no way she could continue on with her life.
She raised her head and stared at Larry. Larry's face was as white as a sheet and her whole body was shaking. There was a hint of panic in her eyes. Obviously, she had figured out what Jenna was planning on asking her.
However, she pretended to be calm and suppressed the panic in her eyes. She couldn't admit it. If she admitted it, she was sure that she would get kicked out of Richards Manor. She couldn't lose this job. She had no choice. Young Madam, I have no choice but to keep denying your words.
However, things would not go so smoothly this time. Apparently, Jenna did not intend to let her go.
Her consciousness wavered and she held on tightly. When a person faced a dangerous situation, their instinct to protect themselves would be on high alert.
"Aunt Ella, may I ask you, do you know who came to change my bedsheets on my wedding night three years ago?" Her eyes were burning with anticipation.
"Young Madam, I was drunk on that night. When I woke up, it was already noon the next day. It wasn't me, but I am pretty sure Larry would know," Aunt Ella thought and answered earnestly. Then she turned her head to Larry and said harshly, "Larry, you have been in charge of cleaning the rooms all this while. It must have been you."
Larry wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Young Madam, it's been three years. I can't recall who did it."
Can't recall? Jenna almost laughed out loud and said coldly, "Larry, you are not that old. How can you not remember? That was Young Master's and my wedding night. You may forget about other things, but definitely not that night."
Larry had an ugly smile on her face. She replied, "Young Madam, I really don't know what you're trying to say."
"Really?" Jenna laughed again. She tightened her grip on the rose and said with a sad smile, "Larry, I treated you as a sister, so you'd better think about it carefully. Let me tell you, I have already obtained the surveillance video of the Green Jade Garden from the security room. Do you still want to deny that it was you in the corridor that night?"
What? What video? Larry was stunned. Young Madam was really powerful. She was no longer the weak woman who would get bullied by the servants. It seems like Larry's bad luck was coming. However, the video most probably only recorded her cleaning the room. There was probably nothing else on the video.
"Young Madam, I remember now. Yes, I was the one who changed the sheets, but I didn't do anything else. It was my duty to change the sheets anyways. I'm just wondering what you are trying to imply?" Larry seemed to remember something and said suddenly.
Jenna sneered in her heart. If she didn't mention that she had the video, would Larry remember? Would she never have remembered?
"Well, Larry, do you remember what time you came to change the sheets? Was there anything on the sheets?" Jenna went straight to the point, and asked righteously.
Larry thought hard and long, and she kept shaking her head. "Young Madam, I really don't remember. I didn't see anything on the sheets. When I took the sheets out, I immediately threw them into the washing machine. I didn't notice anything."
