Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Say It Again—Who Do You Belong To?
However, Steward Fay stood there without moving.
"Miss Paxton, this is the master and madam’s main bedroom, isn’t this inappropriate?"
Iris Paxton clutched her chest, her brows slightly furrowed.
"But I’m very picky about beds, I’ve checked all the guest rooms, and only the mattress here suits me."
Steward Fay still maintained his elegant smile, "Then I’ll apply to the master to get you a new mattress."
"But I want to stay here tonight, will a new mattress arrive in time?"
"Steward Fay is teaching you, did your mother not teach you manners, are you stubborn, or simply bad, not wanting to do the right thing?"
Juliana Jacobs approached slowly, glancing at her lightly.
Iris Paxton opened her mouth as if wanting to respond, then closed it again, looking as if she was holding back her words.
She appeared as if she was being bullied.
Juliana Jacobs ignored her "feigned fragility," directly addressing Steward Fay: "How can you let an outsider wander around the house? The master has amnesia, but that doesn’t mean everyone in Langley Manor should lose their sense of propriety. He has a special status, safeguards must be in place, and caution must never be relaxed."
Steward Fay immediately nodded, "Madam’s advice is correct, I will be doubly cautious."
"Cautious?" Juliana Jacobs sneered, "Can you keep watch over her all by yourself for twenty-four hours?"
"What does madam mean then..."
Raine Kane, on the side, grinned, "Put her on a leash."
Steward Fay seemed to suddenly see the light and was about to nod when Iris Paxton, eyes red, said, "Miss Jacobs, I’m not a criminal."
Juliana Jacobs raised an eyebrow, "But you are a bad person."
Iris Paxton’s face turned pale.
At that moment, footsteps sounded not far away.
"What’s going on?"
When Elias Langley approached, Iris Paxton rushed out from the crowd, without hesitation, throwing herself into his arms.
Juliana Jacobs’ gaze darkened.
"Elias, you know I’m picky about beds, but Miss Jacobs won’t let me sleep in this room, and said I’m... a bad person, wanting to put a leash on my foot."
While speaking, Iris Paxton buried her face into Elias Langley’s chest.
Elias Langley did not immediately respond.
He glanced at the open door of the main bedroom, then at Juliana Jacobs’ cold expression, feeling a tug of contradiction within him.
Logically, he should protect this fragile and helpless woman in his arms, but some deeper intuition was sharply warning him: don’t do it. Doing so would mean losing something very important.
Why did he feel this way?
He frowned, irritated by the sudden emptiness and confusion, and casually pushed the woman out of his arms.
"The main bedroom is not a guest room, you staying here is indeed inappropriate. I’ll have Steward Fay purchase a suitable mattress to put in the guest room for you."
Iris Paxton’s body stiffened, finding his words hard to believe.
Juliana Jacobs then lightly chuckled at this moment, "You can buy her a bed, a house, anything, but for everything you give her, she must pay me half in cash. This is my reasonable claim as your wife."
"I’m not a third party!" Iris Paxton protested hastily, as if stabbed by the remark, "Elias, you need care now, and I can’t trust leaving you to others. Once you recover your memory, I’ll definitely leave you, unwilling to endure this. Please get better soon."
Saying this, she began crying, trying to invoke Elias Langley’s sympathy.
Juliana Jacobs at this moment said "Oh" once.
"So you’re just here to ’care for’ my husband, then your role should be that of a nanny. In the Langley Family, nannies are not entitled to guest rooms. Steward Fay, give her a servant’s room, provide what’s necessary, but stick to the rules."
"Yes, madam, I’ll arrange it immediately."
This time, Steward Fay complied without hesitation, contrasting starkly with his previous hesitance when Iris Paxton gave him orders.
Elias Langley’s face turned suddenly grim, he looked at Juliana Jacobs and spoke coldly.
"I returned here to stimulate my memory by utilizing the old environment, not to let you insult the people I bring."
Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of a slap...
Juliana Jacobs’ palm landed heavily on his face.
Everyone in Langley Manor was stunned into silence.
Iris Paxton was extremely surprised and hurried to check Elias Langley’s face, demanding of Juliana Jacobs.
"How... how can you hit someone? Domestic violence is wrong."
"You’re right, the treatment should be even-handed, a slap for you too," Raine Kane said.
Iris Paxton was choked by her words.
Juliana Jacobs ignored the "dog barking," met Elias Langley’s gaze, her eyes filled with suppressed anger.
"Think carefully, and say it again, who is ’your person’!"
Elias Langley stood there stunned, feeling the burning sting on his face, but what hit him stronger was the chaotic turmoil crashing through his mind.
He could not help but tighten his lips.
"Why are you not speaking?"
Juliana Jacobs unabashedly pointed at Iris Paxton.
"This morally corrupt woman has hugged and clung to my husband several times in front of me, a naturally malicious being. Elias Langley, you can forget about me, forget everything we once had, but you cannot forget the most basic right and wrong, the line of human ethics!"
Elias Langley met Juliana Jacobs’ piercing gaze, his eyes complex and unreadable, his head slightly throbbing.
He only managed to say, "You are unreasonable!"
Iris Paxton was very surprised.
Despite being hit, he didn’t retaliate, and even his scolding was so cautious, was he still the legendary Elias Langley?
She wanted to lean on him again, but Steward Fay stepped between her and Elias Langley.
Steward Fay looked at Iris Paxton, almost bumping into him, and politely said: "Miss Paxton, come with me to see your servant’s room, you can report anything lacking and I’ll arrange for you to receive it."
Iris Paxton bit her lip.
Since Juliana Jacobs wanted to embarrass her, she could comply, making Elias Langley dislike her even more.
Thinking this, she lowered her gaze, quietly following Steward Fay towards the servant’s room.
At this time, a faint man’s laughter emerged from the corridor.
Iris Paxton paused, realizing for the first time that the figure had been standing behind the pillar for quite some time.
She didn’t know this person, but Steward Fay had already nodded towards the man, politely greeting: "Mr. Monroe, madam has been waiting for you."
Miles Monroe ignored Iris Paxton’s presence, leisurely walking towards the main house.
Juliana Jacobs looked at his approaching figure, speaking in an unapologetically loud voice: "Psychology expert, I have official business to discuss with you, but you first come to watch the show."
Having reached the archway, Iris Paxton heard this, and her eyes flashed with a dark gleam.
Could they have hired a psychologist to hypnotize Elias Langley to restore his memory?
Impossible!
Because Elias Langley did not lose his memory due to injury but because of Uncle’s medicine.
But just to be cautious, she decided to inject Elias Langley with another dose tonight to strengthen the effects.
Miles Monroe stood before Juliana Jacobs, positioning himself.
Hands in his pockets, he replied with a smile, "Professional habit. Observing the environment and character interaction is a key part of evaluating psychological state. Besides... the stage is set wonderfully, I have to check out the prelude."
Juliana Jacobs was amused by his subtly cunning yet professional words.
This genuine laughter felt like a needle stabbing Elias Langley’s heart, instantly causing him to frown.
