บท 284: Forgetful

Since Laina had been gone for a while, Lady Wilma sensed something was amiss. She was shocked to see how things unfolded. She had seen and heard everything. 

Jerome was shocked, "Mother?" 

"Laina, would you mind asking everyone to lower their weapons?" Lady Wilma asked. 

Laina gave the signal. Everyone lowered their weapons. The atmosphere became a little less tense. 

"Mother, she's a crook!" Jerome ratted as he pointed at Laina, "She's-"

Lady Wilma held up her hand and her son stopped speaking immediately. She turned to Laina and asked to see the title deeds she had in her possession. 

Laina handed them over to her immediately. Neil wanted to protest at first, but Laina gave him a reassuring look so he did not question any further. Lady Wilma looked through it in silence as everyone else watched on. 

For the first time in a while, the room fell silent.
