Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 252 Time for Karma To Catch Up

“Stop it!” The butler quivered all over as soon as he heard the name.

He took a step forward to stop Madam Liu, grabbing her by the corner of her sleeves to lug her towards him as he said, “What are you talking about?”

Madam Liu glared at the butler fiercely and then uttered maliciously, “I’m telling nothing but the truth, you should know that out of everyone!”

The butler was stunned to silence.

Because… Madam Liu’s sinister look was screamingly intimidating.

“Let her finish!”

Master Lu peered at Madam Liu angrily, yelling, “Carry on! What else do you know?”

“I didn’t believe it in the first place, so I followed Miss Mu Zhi to her mother’s grave and realized that her mother is indeed Madam Mu Xue!”

“Master, you know that I’ve met Madam Mu Xue before.”

Gloom took over Master Lu’s face in the blink of an eye.

He didn’t say anything to Madam Liu, immersing in the sea of thoughts. After a long moment, he turned to the butler and snapped, “Did you find out about this when I told you to look into it earlier?”

“Master…”

The butler stuttered. His body was trembling heavily.

“Speak!”

Master Lu thundered. The butler slumped onto his knees in a flash. Banging his forehead on the floor, he explained, “Master, I… I-I’m afraid that you’d be heart-broken.”

“Although it was true that Madam Mu Xue came to you pregnant all those years ago, we can’t be sure that the baby in her womb was Miss Mu Zhi!”
