Trial Of Love - Chapter 511

Everyone waited patiently as they anticipated who this important guest was.

“Steven, who is it?” Mr. Miller asked.

“Jackie, who else did you invite?” Mr. Goldsmith asked his daughter, but she looked more clueless than all of them. The fact she prepared everything, it means she’s aware of all the people who were invited.

“James, Jackson, did you invite anyone else?” Mrs. Goldsmith asked, yet the same clueless face was written on their child’s face.

“I did.” Elizabeth declared which caused some unhappy faces from the Millers and Peytons.

“What, this lowly actress invited someone?” Mrs. Peyton said which caused the Millers to be more upset.

“I bet she invited her lover. I wonder which rich man are you sleeping with?” Alexis stated which caused some of the guests to be disgusted as well.

“Steven, we’re leaving…”

But before any of them could make a move, Jakcie stood from her seat as she saw the person entering the room.

“Auntie, Uncle, what are you doing here?”

James and Jackson both stood up from their seat as well all paled as they saw the couple that just entered. They both have the same expression on their face that says, “Were dead, we’re really dead.”

“Jackie, sorry, we’re late.” Lady Zhao smiled softly, seeing the teary girl who was shocked to see them.

Jackie must have been feeling so sad that she couldn’t control herself and ran to the woman to embrace her.

It surprised Lady Zhao to see the girl all in tears, it made her wonder as she asked. “Dear me, isn’t it your engagement party. Why are you crying?”

Everyone didn’t say a word. The fact, all of them were a reason as to why those tears were on the girl’s face.

“Did he cheat on you?” Lord Knightley’s icy voice spoke as he glared at the man who is to be Jackie’s partner.

Steven was all pale, he was frightened by the man. Mr. Miller quickly went to his son’s side to protect him.

“Hmm, Steven didn’t hurt me Uncle.”

“Then, why are you crying?”

“Someone bullied her.” Elizabeth said, quickly causing everyone to glare furiously at her for spouting the truth.

“Please, Lord Knightley, Lady Zhao, don’t listen to the girl. She is just a lowly actress.” Mrs. Peyton stated as she wished to avoid getting into trouble.

“That’s right, she’s just an actress Jackie hired to be her best friend.” Brooklyn added as she wished to be on the good side of the couple.

“That’s right, she is just a lowly mistress of some old man.”

James started coughing as he found their words, asking for a death wish. “Idiots.”

“What did you say?” Alexis looked furiously at James for what he stated.

“I called you an idiot,”

But, before the two of them could continue quarreling, the next few words that came out shocked all of them.

“So, this person is a fake best friend, actress, and a mistress?” Lord Knightley asked as he calmly looked at the Peytons.

“That’s right, Lord Knightley.”

“Then, I presume that this child’s parents must be lowly as well, since she has such a lowly life.”

“Of course, proper upbring means a better future for the child. Seeing she is just like that, her parents must not taken care of her well.” Mrs Peyton answered the man’s question proudly not knowing how ridiculous she sounded.

“Then, are you saying, I have failed as a father in raising my own daughter.”

“Yes, since she… Wha- daughter?” Mrs. Peyton choked, as she felt like she was trapped in the corner. She calmed herself down as she tried to recall what the man just said. “She called the girl daughter.”

“Steven, what is going on?” Mr. Miller asked as he too was not grasping the situation.

“Didn’t I tell you both in the first place, to not judge the situation as you see it.” Steven was frustrated with his parents. Despite he loves them, he didn’t expect they’ll cause a scene as well.

“Mommy, Daddy, why were you so late?” Elizabeth got up from her seat as she went closer to greet her parents. James and Jackson too went forward to greet them, as they wished to avoid any punishment later.

“Uncle, Auntie, it’s good to see you.” Jackson smiled like an innocent child.

“Uncle, you should have told me you’re coming. I could have greeted you…” James added.

“Now, now, we plan to surprise Jackie. So, Jackie, stop crying now.”

Jackie stepped aside as she wiped her tears, James handed her a handkerchief to clean her face.

“How are you?” Lord Knightley’s gaze softened as he looked at his daughter.

Elizabeth went forward to kiss the man on the cheeks which shocked everyone as they felt they have brought death on themselves. “Daddy, I miss you.” She soon followed her action by greeting and kissing her mother.

Mrs. Goldsmith got up from her seat and greeted the couple as well. “Weiwei, it’s been a long time?”

“Ha-ha, it has indeed.” Lady Zhao happily converse with the woman making everyone wonder how long they’ve known each other.

“What’s going on? Liz, Liz is Lord Knightley’s daughter?” Mr. Goldsmith shakily walked forward to ask.

“Pops, only you didn’t notice she’s Lord Knightley’s daughter. Come on, most of the project brothers and I are handling, it’s all because of Lord Knightley. Think why would he let us handle such big projects.”

The man looked at Elizabeth first, as he then turned to face his daughter. Soon, everyone’s eyes were only looking at Jackie as the answer.

“That’s right, since Liz and Jackie are best friends. So, Lord Knightley trusted us to handle them.”

“I thank you for always taking care of my daughter.” Lord Knightley said as he shook the man’s hand. “I apologize for only thanking you now. As you know, Lizzy here likes to keep her identity a secret.”

“No, it’s fine. Liz is like a daughter to me.”

“That’s right. Uncle has been so kind all this time.” Elizabeth said as she grabbed her father’s arms. When she noticed everyone seemed to have calmed down, the girl smiled maliciously as she was not done with her evil plan.

“Now, now, we can all chat later. There are people here who are dying to leave.”

The girl’s words were like boiling water being poured down their head as they were being tortured every single second in the slowest and most painful way.

“Oh, are the guest leaving?” Lady Zhao looked saddened by the news.

“Yeah, well… I guess it’s because of me. Maybe I should…”

“NO!”

At that moment, everyone’s minds were at synx as they all shouted at the same time. They couldn’t take the torture the girl was doing to them.

“Uncle, Auntie, thank you for coming.” Jackie kissed both of them in the cheeks which caused the Millers and Peytons to be in great shock. Especially the fact the great mighty European King gaze softens as well towards the child.

“Child, don’t be upset now. Introduce me to your fiance. I’m dying to meet him.” Lady Zhao said as she followed Jackie.

Steven stood all frozen as she became face with the family whom he never thought in his life he’ll be acquainted with.

“Auntie, Uncle, this is my fiance, Steven Miller, and his parents.”

Steven: “Thank you for coming and celebrating with us.”

Mr. Miller: “Lord Knightley, Lady Zhao, a pleasure to meet you.”

Mrs. Miller couldn’t say a word, for she was one of the people who wished to leave early. But now, she regretted all of her action.

Surprisingly, what happened next shocked all of them. Elizabeth removed her wig with the help of Jackson as she formally introduced herself.

“Uncle, Mr and Mrs Miller, I would like to formally introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth Zhao Knightley, the daughter of Weiwei Zhao and Robert Knightley. I thank you all for being so understanding towards Jackie. I was indeed badly sick and only recovered a few months ago. I’m sorry if because of my selfishness, it caused Jackie and Steven’s life to be set aside. I hope you all can forgive me.”

Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller felt bad now that they knew who the child really was. For it was indeed known in the high society that the heiress of the Knigthley vanished a few years ago.

“Child, forgive me for being judgemental. As you know, I just really wish for Jackie and Steven to start a family already. I’m getting old and dying to have a grandchild.”

“Ha-ha, don’t worry Uncle and Auntie, I’ll force Jackie and Steven on one of our private islands so all they do is make love with each other.”

When the girl called them uncle and auntie. They feel relieved that the girl did not blame them for all the words they have said to her. They have indeed learned a lot and now realize the reason as to why their judgement was being clouded.

“Jackie, I hope you can still forgive me. You know I greatly approve of you as Steven’s partner. I was just…”

“Auntie, or should I say Mother. It’s fine, I too have been selfish.”

“Now, now, all of you. It’s natural to have some drama, let alone if something has caused it.” Lady Zhao smiled so frighteningly as she has not forgotten about the words they said about her daughter.

Lord Knightley cleared his throat to prompt his wife that he was scaring everyone.

“Oh my, I must have scared you all.” Yet still, her smile was still so fearsome that none of them could believe that the so called Goddess has such a terrifying side.
