The Omnipotent Mrs. Ranford By Darlene Wright
Chapter 67

Chapter 67 

He couldn’t tell how he felt. 

He closed the door and walked in. 

Alexandra, who had probably slept for a while, woke up after hearing the sound. 

She composed herself and opened her eyes. Then, she saw two long legs approaching her. 

Alexandra got up from the sofa. 

Her face was a little red from sleeping, and her eyes were misty. 

“Mr. Ranford, you’re back.” 

Julian sized her up and nodded. After holding it in for a long time, he asked, “Why are you sleeping on the sofa?” 

Alexandra lowered her head and started to tidy the quilt. She said in a low voice, “I’m comfortable on the sofa. Your bed is too big and too soft for me.” 

Julian was about to say something when he suddenly saw two clear red marks on Alexandra’s left arm. 

It was obvious that she had been scratched by someone. 

His first reaction was worry. 

Then, he realized that Alexandra had gotten into a fight with someone when she returned to school. 

“What happened to your arm?” he asked. 

Alexandra stopped folding the blanket and realized that she had been careless. She had forgotten to wear a long sleeve to cover it. 

She still didn’t look up. “Oh, I was moving a table in the classroom today and got scratched by it.” 

“Tell me the truth!” Julian was a little annoyed. 

Her perfunctory attitude toward him made him inexplicably angry. 

Alexandra was shocked by him. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she must have been so fearless that she dared to be rude to Julian in the 

past. 

She raised her head, her eyes filled with evasion and apology as she said to him, “Martha accidentally scratched it…” 

“You” 

“I didn’t have a conflict with her! I didn’t hit her! I really didn’t cause any trouble!” Alexandra thought that he was angry and hurriedly explained. 

Julian was actually going to say that she was stupid. Every time she got into a conflict with someone, she would be injured. 

However, he did not expect Alexandra to be so anxious to defend herself and say that she did not retaliate and did not cause trouble. 

It was as if his heart was stuffed with a ball of seaweed. It was suffocating and awkward. 

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Alexandra thought that he didn’t believe her, so she said, “Mr. Ranford, I really didn’t do anything. I didn’t cause any trouble… Don’t worry, and please don’t be angry…” 

Looking at her clean eyes and aggrieved face, Julian’s heart ached for no reason. 

He said, “I still have the medicine from last time. I’ll apply some medicine for you.” 

Alexandra hurriedly said, “No, no need. I can do it myself!” 

When Julian found the first aid kit, Alexandra quickly snatched away the disinfectant and band–aids inside and sat on the sofa to get them. 

Julian felt extremely uncomfortable. 

He was used to her bickering with him, and then he looked at Alexandra, who had suddenly changed so much. 

He had mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn’t say how he felt. 

Marco had hit the nail on the head. She had become very obedient and self–aware. 

However, why wasn’t he happy and at ease at all? 

He came to the study with inexplicable emotion. 

Then Marco called. 

Why did he feel a little angry when she saw Marvo’s phone number today? 

After he picked up the phone, Marco said, “Hello, Mr. Ranford. I’ve investigated what happened last night. The surveillance footage shows that Martha entered and left the storage room several times before and after the performance. The longest time she stayed was 20 minutes. After the magic show was over, it was Martha who pushed Young… Alexandra into the storage room. When she came out, she even locked the door. In addition… there’s also

a problem with the props for the performance. There’s a strong sleeping powder on the top of the lid. The lid could have been opened from the inside, but the handle inside was damaged.” 

Martha, Martha again. 

After Julian heard this information, he thought of how Alexandra was trapped in the glass cabinet last night, unconscious and sweating profusely. He felt a surge of anger. 

“Mr. Ranford, what should we do?” Marco took the initiative to ask when he heard that there was no response. 

Julian held the phone and spun around on the spot. 

Thinking about how Alexandra had been lying alone on the sofa and how she had deliberately kept a distance from him, he felt frustrated. 

However, he still said rationally to Marco, “I’m leaving tonight. Let’s talk about it when I get back.” 

“Okay, Mr. Ranford.” 

“Also, during the days I’m not around, if Alexandra goes out, send someone to follow her. Don’t let her be bullied again.” 

*“…Okay, Mr. Ranford. is Young… Alexandra alright? Marco was still very concerned about Alexandra’s condition. 

Julian sat on the chair. He was exhausted and didn’t sleep well at the hospital last night. 

He said, “You were right. She became very obedient. She didn’t even fight back when she was bullied.” 

Marco didn’t know what to say. 

Julian did not speak. 

Marco fell silent before he said to him, “Mr. Ranford, do you want me to teach you some ways to coax girls?” 

Julian said coldly, “No need! I don’t have anything to do with her. She’s petty. Why should I spend so much effort to coax her?” 

Marco didn’t dare to make a sound after being scolded by him. 

But in his heart, he thought, “Mr. Ranford, you can be cocky! 

“You do care about Mrs. Ranford’s feelings. 

“But you just refuse to admit it! 

“Wait for the days when you regret it.” 

Of course, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to say that.. 

After hanging up on Marco, Julian’s mood did not improve at all. 

The computer on the table was turned on. Julian was silent for a while. Then, he opened a browser and typed a few words into a question–and–answer website. “How to quickly coax angry girls?” 

After clicking on the search button, hundreds of thousands of messages popped up. 

The one with the highest number of likes read, “The best move is to kiss her and sleep with her!” 

Julian was very speechless. 

He must have gone crazy to search for these things online! 

He closed the browser and went downstairs to eat. 

When he went downstairs, Josephine and Alexandra were already sitting at the dining table. 

The two of them were charting and Alexandra was smiling. 

However, when he walked over, Alexandra immediately stopped talking. 

As soon as he arrived at the dining table, the maids began to serve the dishes. Alexandra sat very close to Josephine, deliberately distancing herself from him. 

Josephine saw nothing unusual between them. Knowing that they had not been home the night before, she naturally thought they were enjoying their time alone. 

The two young people also wanted to have their own private time. 

At the thought of this, she was quite happy. 

When the dishes were served, Alexandra helped Josephine with cutlery, looking quiet and attentive. 

Then, she scooped a bowl of bone soup for Julian for the first time and placed it in front of him with both hands.. 

Alexandra said respectfully, “Julian, try some soup too.” 

Julian was confused.

Was she trying to act like a good daughter in law of a wealthy family? 

After Alexandra finished speaking, she stopped talking to him. 

It was as if it was just a routine matter. 

The meal was very silent. Julian did not even know if he should start a topic. 

Julian glanced at his watch. In a while, Marco would come and take him to the airport. 

He put down his cutlery and stood up. “Grams, I have to go on a business trip tonight. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I’m leaving in a while.” 

He was going on a business trip? 

Alexandra was a little surprised.
