Lila Carter seemed to have just considered this issue and was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Jason Bennett smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's better not to move. Evelyn is tired from all the hassles. Since Evelyn needs to recuperate, she naturally needs a quiet environment. Why not move to the second bedroom on the west side? It's always been kept very clean and can be moved in after a little tidying up."
He looked at Evelyn Steele with a smile in his beautiful fox eyes, as if giving a sincere suggestion.
Only Evelyn Steele knew that he did it on purpose.
The second bedroom on the west side was not much different in specifications from the one she lived in, and it was once where her mother recuperated.
According to the novel, it was a month later when she returned home. By then, Lila Carter had been living in her room for a while, and everyone was used to it. She did bring a lot of laughter and happiness to the family.
Evelyn Steele's return seems a little untimely.
The head of the family, Richard Steele, had deep feelings for his deceased wife. He still misses her even after so many years of her death and rarely smiles. The Yan family has also been shrouded in sorrow, as if they have lost the right to laugh.
But no matter how long the sorrow lasts, it will be diluted by time, and everyone hopes to get over it quickly and embrace the colorful life again.
Therefore, everyone in this family began to spontaneously protect Lila Carter, who was as warm as the little sun, and was wary of Evelyn Steele, who might drag this family into pain again.
So everyone supported Lila Carter, fearing that Evelyn Steele would take back her room.
Mr. Anderson was the only one who argued that it was obviously Evelyn Steele's room. It was fine to let outsiders live there, but why did Evelyn Steele not move out after she came back? What's the logic behind this?
At that time, it was Jason Bennett who smiled and suggested that she move into her mother's room.
Even though Evelyn Steele felt a little uncomfortable, she just thought that Lila Carter was a guest after all, and she didn't want to lose harmony among her family, so she generously accepted Jason Bennett's suggestion.
This generous gesture meant that she was unable to live in her own room until her death.
At this moment, how could Evelyn Steele give in?
Evelyn Steele looked at Jason Bennett and smiled faintly: "No."
"No." Another voice sounded at the same time. It was Ethan Cole. He frowned, obviously disagreeing. "This is Evelyn's room."
But after a pause, there was no further comment. He glanced at Lila Carter, with a hint of guilt flashing across his eyes.
Lila Carter smiled at him soothingly and took the initiative to say, "I should give the room to Sister Evelyn..."
"Let?" This word made Evelyn Steele smile with interest. "Then you are probably mistaken. This room is mine. Now I am just returning it to its original owner."
He glanced at Lila Carter meaningfully, his eyes fixed on her neck.
"Now, can you return my things to me?"
Lila Carter was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She looked a little embarrassed and fumbled to take off the necklace around her neck.
"I, I didn't know this was yours. My uncle asked me to wear it..." Her voice was almost trembling. "Sister Evelyn, don't misunderstand me."
Just based on what she said, Evelyn Steele must have misunderstood her.
What was he trying to prove by repeatedly stressing that it was Richard Steele who requested it? Or was he trying to irritate her?
Evelyn Steele asked Mr. Anderson to put the necklace away and smiled faintly, "I think it is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation not to take other people's things casually."
Lila Carter's face turned red and she lowered her head, looking extremely embarrassed.
Jason Bennett's fox eyes flashed, "Evelyn, you are taking it too seriously. I just want to borrow it. Mr. Steele has agreed to it..."
To be honest, none of the people present had ever seen Evelyn Steele be so impolite.
Evelyn Steele was raised in the Yan family since she was a child, and her every move is influenced by the heritage and upbringing of the century-old family.
She has a calm personality and great intelligence. She has been the perfect example of a lady from childhood. She is always calm and composed in her treatment of people and things, and is compassionate. She is always tolerant of weak people or things, and is never willing to make things difficult for others.
Jason Bennett remembered that she kept the grief deep in her heart even when her biological mother passed away. At such a young age, she had to comfort her father and entertain the guests who came to pay their respects, and she arranged everything in an orderly manner.
When such people encounter conflicts, the first thing they think of is to calm down the situation.
But now, Evelyn Steele's attitude towards Lila Carter can be described as aggressive.
This is not in line with the Yan family's rules and Evelyn Steele's upbringing.
"Okay, let's put it another way. Taking something without asking is stealing. Did she get my consent?" Evelyn Steele turned to look at Jason Bennett. "Yu Huai, since when have you become so confused about right and wrong? Or does your uncle have the power to dispose of your things at will without your consent?"
There was a flash of darkness in Jason Bennett's eyes, and soon, the tip of his tongue touched his back teeth, and he smiled slowly.
"Okay, I was the one who said too much. Evelyn, everything you said is right." He touched his nose, looking nonchalant and cynical.
Evelyn Steele ignored him, paused, and turned to look at Lila Carter, "Are you hosting the party?"
Lila Carter: "…Yes."
Evelyn Steele nodded. "Then you should probably review your social circle. Just now, there was a man who tried to touch me when we met, and when he failed, he falsely accused me of stealing your bracelet."
Lila Carter's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Sorry, I'll go talk to them right away." Lila Carter didn't argue. She found that Ethan Cole's expression had changed, and his icy face was filled with anger; and Jason Bennett also stood up straight, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Evelyn Steele is not someone who can be bullied by anyone.
Lila Carter was so upset, knowing that she had lost today. She wished she could bring that loser Logan Carter over to kowtow and apologize.
Evelyn Steele: "Oh, that's not necessary. I've already had them kicked out."
Lila Carter: "…"
Evelyn Steele tilted her head. "Today seems to be your birthday? I hope I didn't spoil your fun."
Lila Carter reacted and quickly shook her head, "No, no, you taught him a lesson, he deserved it..."
"That's good." Just as the servants had quickly packed up, Evelyn Steele gestured to Mr. Anderson, asked everyone to leave, and closed the door to rest.
She was really sleepy and had no mood to entertain these people. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
Outside the door, Ethan Cole stood by the door, staring at the door panel for a long time without moving.
Jason Bennett smiled and said, "Ziang, Evelyn needs to rest."
After a pause, he said in a meaningful tone, "She's back now. There's a long way to go."
Ethan Cole closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, turned and walked into the guest room next door.
Mr. Anderson asked the servants to move Lila Carter's belongings and bedding to this guest room. This was also what Evelyn Steele had just ordered. In the past, she was the one who entertained the guests.
