Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 262: Suspecting She Regained Her Memories

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Suspecting She Regained Her Memories

He kept silent, waiting for the traffic police’s conclusion, only discussing "staying or leaving" and "making decisions."

Juliana understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

Someone like Mrs. Dalton, if unsatisfied, would certainly make things escalate.

Given the current situation, since she had gone to great lengths to get her daughter to live here, let her stay. After all... selecting a burial site in their countryside should be quick, right?

She lowered her eyes and slowly stood up.

"Out of humanitarian reasons, I can agree to let her recuperate in the manor."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dalton flashed a victorious smile.

"But..." Juliana’s tone shifted, "once the traffic police’s verdict on the accident’s responsibility is out, we will act accordingly. Gregory Dalton and April Wallace, do you have any objections?"

Mrs. Dalton glanced at her husband. Though she found Juliana’s words a bit strange, her daughter’s injuries weren’t severe, and even if the responsibility were shared, including costs for nutrients and such, the compensation would be limited. Mr. Langley would certainly afford it.

So she nodded, "We accept the responsibility verdict."

Juliana put away her phone, her lips slightly curved into a smile.

"Alright, I recorded what you said—don’t try to deny it in the future."

After speaking, Juliana headed out, even leaving Elias Langley behind.

Outside, the rain had stopped.

"Juliana, I’m sorry, it was my carelessness that let that vixen succeed," Raine Kane caught up with her and said.

Juliana walked briskly towards the parking lot, with a light smile on her face.

"It’s okay, just go get my car fixed."

Her car, modified, had a rear-view mirror worth five figures, even a slight scratch...

Raine Kane immediately understood her intent, eyes widening in realization, "Juliana, I’ve learned from you."

Reaching the parking lot, Juliana had just stopped when Elias Langley appeared from behind her, stepping in front to open the rear passenger door of the Red Flag car.

"Take my car back."

He feared she would get upset and distance herself.

However, Juliana surprisingly didn’t hesitate and was about to get in when April Wallace caught up to them.

"Sir, sir..."

Elias Langley frowned almost imperceptibly, turning his gaze to her, "What is it?"

"Thank you, sir, for standing up for my daughter."

April Wallace wore a fawning smile, but her tone intentionally conveyed a bit of difficulty.

"My daughter can be discharged today, but the doctor said her injury requires rest and recuperation. The conditions in the servant’s quarters aren’t great; I’m worried it will affect her recovery. The room where Bodyguard Kane stays is quite good. Could you, perhaps, let Bodyguard Kane understand my daughter is an injured person?"

Elias Langley understood the meaning behind her words, his expression was indifferent and aloof.

"This will be the last time I say this: all domestic affairs in the manor are decided by my wife. If Mrs. Dalton can’t remember even this much, then she shouldn’t be working here."

After speaking, he went to the other side of the car and got in.

April Wallace was left to face Juliana, feeling very awkward, "Ma-... Ma’am..."

Juliana wore a faint smile, "Is Mrs. Dalton dissatisfied with the renovations in the servant’s quarters not keeping up with the mansion, thinking I’m being harsh on you?"

"No, no." April Wallace quickly shook her head.

In fact, the conditions of the courtyard’s servant rooms far exceed the usual standards in Kingsford. After purchasing it, Elias Langley had specifically upgraded the living facilities, with each room equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms, and the interior decoration and quality of facilities were in no way inferior to those of ordinary family homes.

What April Wallace was doing was essentially about suppressing others and elevating her daughter’s status in Langley Manor.

"Juliana, I can live anywhere, it’s fine."

Raine Kane didn’t want Juliana to be troubled and volunteered to stay in the servant’s room.

Juliana raised an eyebrow, "Is Mrs. Dalton planning to enjoy all the blessings she hasn’t experienced in her lifetime?"

April Wallace only heard her willingness to compromise and happily said, "How can that be, it’s for the convenience of my daughter’s recovery."

Juliana nodded, "Alright, you asked for this."

After speaking, she ignored the gleeful expression of satisfaction on April Wallace’s face, turned around, and got into the car.

Once seated inside, Elias Langley hugged her from behind.

"I didn’t even look at that woman, and you’re still unhappy?"

He brushed his lips gently over her sensitive earlobe, speaking with a hint of cautious flattery.

Juliana leaned into his embrace, but her voice was muffled.

"You’ve now seen clearly what sort of people they are, right?"

"I see them clearly." Elias Langley tightened his embrace, "Dealing with such petty people shouldn’t be rushed. Once this matter subsides, I’ll find an excuse to send them away."

Juliana chuckled softly in his arms but said nothing more.

Elias Langley naturally understood her unspoken words.

She thought he was too lenient, letting a tiger wreak havoc. But he had his own calculations: such little monstrosities were perfect to let his dear Juliana practice and amuse herself.

Elias lowered his head, his nose brushing her ear auricles flirtatiously, whispering, "My wife can handle it however she likes, I won’t interfere."

Juliana was somewhat satisfied with his attitude, recalled his earlier phone call, and casually asked, "Did you finish everything today?"

Elias Langley chuckled deeply, responding smoothly, "Yes, it’s all done."

"And tomorrow... you won’t continue?"

She chose her words carefully, as if merely concerned about his schedule.

Looking at her profile, Elias Langley’s gaze grew more profound.

After less than two seconds, he smiled again.

"There’s never a time when everything is finished, is there? What, are you worried I won’t have time for you, or is there something else you want to know?"

Juliana didn’t get an answer, but it wasn’t convenient to ask directly, so she just smiled, "As if I care about you keeping company."

"Oh, you don’t care?"

The man pinched the soft flesh at her waist, and Juliana, ticklish, started to squirm in his arms.

With laughter, the man suddenly asked, "Were you this ticklish as a child?"

A "Hmm" nearly slipped out, but Juliana forcibly held it back in her nose.

This seemingly intimate joke was another test.

Juliana realized, with vigilance, that he was beginning to doubt if she had regained her memories.

She steadied her breathing, her voice still laced with laughter, skillfully deflecting.

"Ticklish spots change with age? Were you not afraid of tickles as a child?"

A flicker of an indescribable light passed through Elias’s deep eyes; he stopped teasing her and simply held her quietly.

The car stopped steadily at the courtyard gate.

Exhausted from the day, Juliana leisurely walked towards the master bedroom, as if the earlier conversation full of underlying currents had never occurred.

Raine Kane swiftly moved to another equally nice servant’s room, letting Lena Dalton use the room with better lighting.

Mother and daughter entered their room, unable to hide their joy.

"The conditions here are indeed much better than the servant’s quarters, but the main bedroom and guest rooms are even nicer. My daughter won’t settle for staying here long," April Wallace happily said.

Gregory Dalton set down their luggage, sighing, "Keep a low profile. Mr. Langley treats us well, can’t you stop acting like this?"

"Isn’t our daughter doing this for the family’s sake? Who asked you to not make big money?"

Gregory was stifled by April Wallace’s words.

"Stop dampening our spirits. Get out!"

Gregory sighed and left the room.

Lena Dalton, who had been silent, grabbed April Wallace’s hand, her face full of worry.

"Mom, earlier at the hospital, Mr. Langley didn’t even look at me. How can he notice my good figure?"

"Patience!"

Mrs. Dalton pinched her daughter’s slender waist, a sharp and ruthless gleam flashing in her murky eyes.

"With your physique, you could’ve been an Oiran in the past! Plus, you’re still a virgin, a pure body, aren’t you more worthy than that Juliana? She’s just a twice-married woman, yet she can enchant him. As long as you’re willing to go all the way, I refuse to believe we can’t win his heart!"

Under her mother’s blunt instigation, Lena’s timid look faded, replaced by a spark of eagerness.

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom.

Juliana had taken a shower and came out of the bathroom just as Elias Langley had ended a phone call, his expression displeased.

"Are you planning to set up Aetherflame’s Innovation Hub in Kingsford?"

"Yes."

Juliana walked to the dressing table, picked up some face cream, and spoke calmly.

"Why did I learn about it through a company report and not directly from you?"

His voice was laced with displeasure.

Juliana met his eyes through the mirror, her hand continuing to apply the cream.

"Does it matter how you find out?"

Elias Langley walked by her side, turned her around, and gently held her chin between two fingers.

"Are you guarding against me?"
