Chapter 126 I Will Make Him Pay
Nova rang the doorbell, and the butler Bates hurried to open the door. Mabel had informed the
housekeeper of
Nova’s visit. When Bates saw Nova, he smiled at Nova and greeted her, “Miss Bush, you’re here.”
The butler used to call Nova Mrs. King, and he was not so accustomted to the new title.
Nova thought Miss Bush pleasant to hear. She beamed and nodded. “Yeah, Bates.”
Bates stepped aside and Nova walked into the house with a gift.
Mabel had been waiting for Nova on the sofa. When she heard Nova’s voice, she hurriedly said, “Nova,
come
and sit. You’re being too punctual. Precisely one and half an hour. Why don’t you come a bit earlier!”
Nova changed into slippers and walked toward Mabel smilingly. “Ran into a traffic jam.”
“Come on, girl, come and sit!”

Mabel looked at Nova up and down, and, after finding that Nova was as pretty and healthy as before,
she
heaved a sigh of relief. Mabel worried that Nova would lose her appetite for sadness.
“Grandma, it’s my bad. I didn’t come to see you recently. Even tomorrow…”
“Tomorrow? You’ve attended every birthday party of grandma in the past few years. You won’t come
tomorrow? You don’t think I am your grandma anymore?”
Nova hurriedly denied, “How would I? Grandma, please don’t get me wrong. It’s just about the things that
happened recently. It would be embarrassing for me to…”
“Embarrassing? There’s nothing embarrassing! You’re my granddaughter from now on. I’ll see who dares
to
speak ill of you.”
Nova’s words displeased Mabel.
She was displeased because those people who were hostile to Nova made her utter those words.
Nova lowered her head. “Grandma…”
She didn’t know how to express it. She had brought her gift to Mabel.
Mabel clearly saw what Nova was thinking. Mabel glanced at the gift, and, when Nova wanted to hand
her the
gift, she directly refused, “I don’t want it. If you didn’t give me this at my birthday party, then I won’t
accept
it! And in the future, you don’t need to see me as your grandmother!”
“Grandma… of course I’ll see you as my grandma!” Explained Nova in shock.
Mabel said, “Good girl. I have only you. I just want you to be with me at the party. Have you really
decided not
to come? If you have, then I don’t want this party.”

Nova had been with Mabel every year at the birthday party, and Mabel was used to the girl’s presence.
But now,
Nova’s sudden message that she would be absent from Mabel’s birthday party really upset Mabel.
Mabel really liked Nova.
Nova took a breath. As grandma had said so, she would have to go..
After pondering, Nova finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll be there tomorrow.”
Mabel’s face lit up with pleasure. Her look of grief disappeared. Mabel held Nova’s hand and said
happily, “I
know you’re my best girl! Don’t worry. If anyone dares to say a single ‘no‘ to you tomorrow, I will make
him
pay!”
Mabel’s words warmed Nova’s heart. Nova knew that this was her grandmother.
However…
She feared that, with her current status, her presence at the party would ruin grandma’s birthday party.
In her hesitation, the door was suddenly opened.
