Chapter 1567 Right and Wrong
Mrs. Sophie was surprised when she heard Earl William's words. She didn't expect Lei Lie to do this, but then she thought about it, maybe his parents taught him this?
"Lei Lie also honestly told me what happened tonight." Earl William said, "Let's not talk about whether he is worthy of May'er. We must first protect the safety of you and May'er. As for emotional matters, Let’s talk about it later.”
"You're right." Mrs. Sophie sighed, "But now, I am already more than capable..."
"I know, so I came here." Earl William said, "Although we are no longer husband and wife, and Mayfair is not my child, she has called me daddy for more than ten years, and I have the responsibility to protect her. Probably I still have half an hour to get to your place, I hope you won’t turn me away.”
"This..." Mrs. Sophie hesitated to speak.
"Are you afraid that Linn will misunderstand??" Earl William said again, "Don't worry, I can explain it to him."
"What are you explaining? He is now..." Mrs. Sophie's voice choked with sobs. "The condition is critical. I don't know when... he will die."
"What?? How could it be so serious?" Earl William was very surprised, "Who did you listen to??"
"What Edward said..."
"Do you believe Edward's words???" Earl William said anxiously, "He just wants to deceive you and make you think that you are in a desperate situation. Then, relying on him, they and his son can take advantage of others' danger!!!"
"Of course I don't believe him, but I called Lynn's assistant Zobin, and Zobin said the same thing." Mrs. Sophie's eyes turned red. "He also arranged a special plane for us to go to Hong Kong tomorrow morning. But with all the fuss tonight, Fei'er is feeling unwell and I don't dare to leave..."
Earl William was silent for a moment and said soothingly: "Don't worry, I'll have someone check it out to see if the facts are really what Edward said. If it's true, I'll arrange a special flight for you."
"No, I can't accept your help." Mrs. Sophie said sadly, "Even if you don't mind, Her Majesty the Queen won't agree. I don't want to cause any more trouble..."
"No, don't think too much." Earl William said, "I'm almost there, open the door for me."
With that said, he hung up the phone...
When Mrs. Sophie heard the blind tone on the phone, she felt a little uneasy. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Earl William anymore, but now, he was probably the only person she could rely on and trust. .
Maybe he was right. Even if it was impossible between them, the father-daughter relationship between him and Feier still existed. Even if it was for Feier, her situation was so dangerous now. Without personal protection, if anything happened If someone really plotted against you, you would really regret it. .

As the Lei family's car was driving to the hotel, Leng Ruobing recalled the situation when the accident happened and was still puzzled -
"Tonight's events always feel like there are too many coincidences. Why is Edward here? Even if Austin really lives at William's house to take care of Mayfair, Edward shouldn't be here, right? If he is here to visit or eat Shouldn't we stay so late for a simple meal? It's already early in the morning, and there's no man in William's house now. It's unreasonable for him to stay here, unless it's intentional. "
"There is another question..." Lei Zhenting said, "Our car waited outside the courtyard for about ten minutes before it was released. This means that when we came, someone had already informed Mrs. Sophie. She should have informed Fei'er. Fei'er knows that Lei Lie is here, so there's no reason why she would still want to sleep with Austin at this time, right?"
"Yes, I find it strange too." Leng Ruobing nodded, "Also, I found a medicine bowl next to Feier's bed, and there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and the quilt on the bed was all black, maybe It was Chinese medicine that was spilled, and there were medicine stains on Austin’s shirt. Maybe that’s why he took a bath in Mayfair’s room.”
"Isn't Fei'er pregnant? Can pregnant people drink Chinese medicine?" Lei Zhenting asked curiously.
"General Chinese medicine will definitely not work, but if the fetal condition is unstable, it is possible to take medicine to consolidate the fetal gas." Leng Ruobing said, "Since the bowl is still on the bedside, it means that Mrs. Sophie and Feier are both He knew it, so there must be nothing wrong with the medicine. However, if the medicine was spilled on the bed and stained on Austin’s clothes, there was something wrong.”
"You're right." Lei Zhenting nodded and turned to look at Lei Lie, "Why don't you speak? Is there nothing you want to discuss?"
"I have thought about what you are talking about..." Lei Lie said in a low voice, "But what's the use? Mayfair even admitted that the child is Austin's. Maybe she really said it out of breath. But now that things are like this, what else can we do?”
"Then you plan to do nothing??" Lei Zhenting said angrily, "If you really think so, then we don't have to worry anymore and just go back to Hong Kong."
"Dad, you know that's not what I meant." Lei Lie said anxiously, "Didn't I just call Earl William and ask him to come forward to protect Feier?"
"What's next? What are you going to do? Don't you have any plan?" Lei Zhenting stared at him coldly.
Lei Lie was silent for a few seconds and said, "I think we need to find out who the child is first, so that I know how to proceed."
"If the child wasn't yours, would you just leave it alone?" Lei Zhenting frowned.
"That's not what I meant..." Lei Lie explained, "I was a little impulsive and reckless tonight, but that was because I saw Austin walking out of Mayfair's room naked. At that time, my blood suddenly surged. What reason could I say? None. But after calming down, I realized that I was wrong. No matter who this child was, I would protect Mayfair, but I had to find out the truth first before I knew what Austin and Edward would do next. How should I go and how should I deal with it?”
"Lei Lie makes sense." Leng Ruobing nodded, "But it's really not easy to figure out the truth now. After what happened tonight, Mrs. Sophie probably already hates Lei Lie deeply. She can no longer believe it. You, it’s even less likely that I’ll give you another chance to get close to Feier. And I think that Austin seems to really care about Feier and her fetal appearance. Could it be that this child..."
"I don't think so." Lei Zhenting said, "Men and women see things from different perspectives. I do think that Austin and Edward's attitude towards the child is a bit abnormal."
"What do you say?" Leng Ruobing and Lei Lie asked at the same time.
"Let's not talk about Austen's feelings for Mayfair. Let's talk about Edward first. I have seen a lot of people like him in the officialdom. Everything about him is based on interests. This kind of The interests are not only the interests of material power, but also the interests of family relationships. For him, future generations are also an important interest. If the child in Mayfair's belly is Austen's, when something happens to Mayfair. , he will definitely be very nervous and anxious, and more importantly..."
Speaking of this, Lei Zhenting increased his tone——
"He will definitely not be polite to Lei Lie. Even if I dare not touch Lei Lie for the time being due to my power, I will at least threaten and warn him. But he was not at all, and even said something to fan the flames during the whole process. , and then I kept staring at him, and he seemed a little guilty and stood far away, not daring to sit with us again. "
"When you said that, I think so." Leng Ruobing suddenly realized, "I felt strange at the time. When we were waiting for Feier downstairs, he had been sitting in the living room, as if he was staring at us. Then something happened to Feier, so he sat far away."
"There is indeed a problem..." Lei Lie was a little excited, "I have been in contact with Edward, and he pays special attention to the matter of Austen. Moreover, he is a person who must avenge his revenge and will never be polite to me. Tonight, his attitude was indeed a bit abnormal. Also, when Austin and I were fighting, he was lying on the ground. I wonder if he tripped her at the critical moment and knocked her upside down. fall?"
"Probably not. I think Austen is sincere to Feier." Leng Ruobing said, "Unless... that child is not his. He just wants to keep Feier and doesn't want the child."
"I think so too." Lei Lie immediately agreed.
"Is that child yours?" Leng Ruobing asked happily.
"I also hope..." Lei Lie was overjoyed, "But I'm not sure. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and be even more disappointed."
"That's right..." Leng Ruobing nodded, "Oh, I have no choice but to investigate elsewhere."
"Not necessarily." Lei Zhenting said in a low voice, "I suddenly thought of a clue..."
"What clue?" Leng Ruobing asked immediately.
"Daddy, are you talking about the bowl of medicine?" Lei Lie asked.
"Have you thought of it too?" Lei Zhenting was a little surprised.
"I had a bold speculation before, but I'm not sure..." Lei Lie said softly, "I vaguely feel that Edward's calmness is not necessarily due to fear of us or a guilty conscience, but... I have expected it. ”
"Yes!!!" Lei Zhenting looked at Lei Lie with admiration, "That's what I meant."
"You mean to say that Edward had already tampered with Mayfair's bowl of medicine. He knew that something would happen to Mayfair, so when something happened to Mayfair, he acted very calmly?" Leng Ruobing He said in shock, "If that's the case, wouldn't Feier be in danger????"
"Mom, please call Mrs. Sophie quickly." Lei Lie said anxiously.
"Yes, call quickly." Lei Zhenting also urged.
Leng Ruobing immediately dialed Mrs. Sophie's number. The phone was always busy. She kept redialing and said at the same time: "It seems that a lot of medicine was spilled on that bowl. I hope Fei'er didn't drink it."
"It would be great if you didn't drink it. You should still be able to extract the drug stains now. Take it for a test and you will know if there is any problem." Lei Zhenting said.
