Chapter 121: Chapter 121 The Eunuch and the Empress Dowager

Sister Wilson led the makeup artist back to the makeup room.

Once Arabella Shaw had her makeup done and the artist left, Sister Wilson told her that Austin Langston was the special guest for this episode.

She wanted Arabella to be mentally prepared.

"Control your emotions when you’re at the recording site later."

In the past, Sister Wilson wouldn’t have to remind Arabella like this, but Arabella had been emotionally unstable these last few days.

She was prone to anger.

Arabella’s face turned cold as if stepping on a sore spot, "Why is she coming to this show again? I see her no matter what show I take part in. Is Orange Inc. doing this on purpose to antagonize me?"

Just like Julia Land, always lingering like a shadow.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

There was no soundproofing in the makeup room.

Arabella closed her eyes, then opened them again, calming down as she spoke faintly, "Sorry."

No rush, no need to worry, neither Austin nor Julia would be laughing for long.

Hannah entered the makeup room next door; she walked up to Austin and whispered a few words in her ear.

"I heard her getting angry over there."

Austin’s lips slightly curled up; she still remembered the last time she sang at the bar and was almost insulted.

If it hadn’t been for Julia coming to her rescue, she might not have been able to get away unharmed.

That Eliza Quarter had the gall to cause trouble just to stand up for Arabella.

The show was about to start, and Arabella exited the makeup room just as Austin was also leaving hers.

Arabella gave Austin a thin smile.

Both headed towards the front desk of the program event.

"I really didn’t expect Miss Langston to be friends with Miss Land."

Austin smiled faintly, "Nor did I expect Miss Shaw’s sister-in-law to be Eliza Quarter."

Austin Langston’s father and mother were both ordinary assembly line workers in a factory.

They came to Dunmore City to work just to accompany their daughter.

None of the factory workers knew that their daughter was the star Austin Langston.

The couple were both hard-working people.

Their daughter had liked to sing, so she chose to enter the entertainment industry, and they supported her all the way.

Recently, their daughter had switched to a new company and gained fame for her singing, and the couple was also happy for her.

After earning some money, Austin bought a house in Dunmore City with a down payment.

She had her parents move in, and now that she was capable, she planned to give them a monthly allowance so they wouldn’t have to work so hard in the factory.

However, Austin’s parents were diligent people, and they chose to keep working.

That evening, Austin’s father, David Langston, was working the night shift and on his way home riding his electric bike.

This was a path he frequently took on his bike.

Usually, there would be no danger, but tonight his bike seemed to hit something, flipping over unexpectedly.

The electric bike pressed against David’s thigh.

He hit his head on the ground, completely unable to move.

A simple-looking young man, probably in his thirties, driving by, stopped his car and hurried over.

"Ah, Uncle, are you okay? I’ll help you get the bike up first."

The young man lifted the bike, parked it properly, and then called for an ambulance.

"Uncle, I’m calling an ambulance for you now."

David’s head and thigh were in pain, unable to speak.

He considered himself lucky that night to meet someone willing to help.

In today’s society, when many see someone lying on the ground, they often fear to step forward to help.

Upon seeing that David was still conscious, the young man felt a sense of relief, "Uncle, actually I can drive you to the hospital, which would be faster, but I dare not move you at will."

The young man waited for the ambulance and then followed it to the hospital.

He went through a lot of trouble to take care of everything for David.

When David was pushed into the hospital room, his phone rang, and the young man helped him answer it.

On the other end was David’s wife, Abigail Fields; she looked at the clock, not seeing David return from work, and called to check in.

She didn’t expect to hear the news of David’s accident on his bike.

"Aunt, don’t worry, the doctor said Uncle just needs some time to recover, and he’ll be fine."

Abigail kept thanking him, hung up the phone, grabbed her bank card, and hurried to the hospital.

On her way, she thought about calling Austin, but considering her daughter was also busy, she decided not to tell her about the accident for the time being.

Austin would usually video call her parents every two to three days, whenever she was free.

On the second day of David’s hospitalization, Austin made a video call to her mother.

"When she saw the background didn’t look like home, she asked a question, "Mom, are you not at home?"

Abigail Fields didn’t hide it from Austin Langston anymore, "Your dad had an accident on his electric bike. He’s fine, don’t worry, he just needs some rest."

She turned the camera to show Austin Langston the view of David Langston on the hospital bed.

David Langston smiled and said, "Sweetheart, dad’s fine."

Austin Langston’s eyes instantly turned red, "Mom, you must tell me when something happens at home. I’m coming back to see dad right now."

"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you next time. Don’t rush, your dad’s fine," Abigail Fields instructed Austin Langston to drive safely and not to hurry back.

Julia Land learned about the accident and hospitalization of Austin Langston’s dad from the bodyguard assigned to protect him.

Because it involved Austin Langston’s dad, Julia Land intended to ask James Thompson to help investigate whether the accident was truly accidental or deliberate.

Coincidentally, after work and dinner today, Julia Land and James Thompson had time to go for a walk.

James Thompson took Julia Land’s hand and, after hearing about Austin Langston’s dad, said, "I’ll call right now and have someone look into it."

After he finished the call, they continued their walk.

James Thompson turned his head to look at Julia Land, "Little Pear, this is the first time you’ve asked me for help."

Julia Land, "Oh, it is."

"......" James Thompson snorted coldly, "Oh."

Julia Land poked his waist in annoyance, "What are you doing? I’m sincerely thanking you in my heart."

"Men’s waists shouldn’t be poked carelessly, don’t you know?"

Although James Thompson said that, he took Julia Land’s index finger and poked his own waist with it.

Julia Land was speechless, mentally grumbling, childish.

Suddenly, James Thompson remembered something and said softly, "Should we drop by the supermarket and buy some sheets?"

At home, they basically had to change the sheets every one or two days.

The streetlights for the night had already lit up.

The two of them walked on the sidewalk, their shadows long and overlapping.

With one long-legged step, Julia Land’s fair and straight leg flashed by.

Her foot directly stepped on James Thompson’s shadow on the ground.

Very subtly, it stepped between the legs of the shadow.

James Thompson stopped in his tracks, "....."

His precious baby could feel the power of the foot through the shadow.

"Empress Dowager, your servant is at fault, please raise your noble foot."

James Thompson’s loose right hand made a fist, and with his left hand forming a cover over the right fist, he made a gesture.

Empress. Julia. Land, "...."

"I’m tired of walking, let’s go home."

"Less than half an hour?"

"I don’t want to walk anymore, okay?"

"..."

...

When it was time to sleep at night, James Thompson was about to get into bed but was chased down by Empress. Julia. Land.

"You, a eunuch, dare to climb into my bed?"

Julia Land turned on her side, supporting her head with one hand, her eyes enchanting.

James Thompson, wanting to get into bed, shamelessly claimed, "Regenerating limbs."

He covered Julia Land’s body with his, pulled the blanket over them both.

The two studied fairy fights under the covers.

Julia Land’s foot kicked out of the blankets, only to be grabbed by a large hand and pulled back in.

Imperial View Gardens.

Because Arabella Shaw hadn’t held her daughter in a long while, she impulsively had the nanny bring Bella Quarter to her bedroom that evening.

She softly tapped Bella Quarter’s nose with her forefinger and told the nanny, "Bella will sleep with me tonight."

The dutiful nanny said, "Miss, she’ll wake up for milk in the middle of the night."

"Right, I’ll call you when Bella wakes up."

The mistress having said so, the nanny naturally handed the child over to her.

Noah Quarter hadn’t been returning to Imperial View Gardens to stay recently, Arabella Shaw thought he might be staying at the company or another villa.

She took out her phone with a faint smile and snapped a few cute photos of her daughter.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought.

Arabella Shaw’s expression changed slightly, she grabbed a coat, threw it on, phone in hand, and rushed out of the bedroom.

She went to the garage, drove out of Imperial View Gardens at high speed, and headed toward Jade Gardens.
