hapter 209 Let Sarah suffer
As soon as James spoke, Sarah’s expression changed dramatically.
She quickly protested. “When did I say anything about changing the password?”
James said, “Ms. Campbell, weren’t you the one who said Ms. Hargreaves had cut ties with the family and was breaking off her engagement with the Clark family, and that Mr. Asher Hargreaves ordered her to be barred from the house?”
Sarah defended herself, “I did say that, but I never asked you to change the password.”
Her face paled. She couldn’t admit to this.
James hesitated, looking confused.
However, Jennifer caught on and smiled slyly, “So it was you
who acted alone? Then you can leave.”
James opened his mouth to argue, “I…”
But Sarah rushed to him, pulling his hand and crying.
She said, “James, I know you misunderstood because I didn’t express myself well. It’s my fault. I’ll clear this up with Asher and ensure you don’t take the blame.”

James paused, then nodded, “I’m sorry, Ms. Campbell. It was my misunderstanding, and you aren’t at fault.”
Jennifer scoffed from the side, “Are you two debating whose fault it is?”
Sarah sobbed, “It’s all a misunderstanding.”
Jennifer snapped, “Can one of you admit it’s not your fault and shift the blame entirely? My mom has set the password and hasn’t changed it in years, so who has the right to change it?”
Jennifer was angry not just about the password change, but because it was set by her mother.
James replied, “I’ll change the password back immediately.”
Jennifer shouted, “Can it be the same? Why don’t I send you to ask my mom what she thinks!”
James raised his hands in fear.
Asher frowned, “Isn’t changing the password enough? Jennifer, don’t use threats in the house.”
Even Daniel disagreed, “Asher, that password was set by mom using Jennifer’s birthday. It can’t be the same.”
Asher looked uneasy, “But it was a misunderstanding. Does she want to kill him?”

“No one needs to die, but James must leave Hargreaves Villa!”
Jennifer glared at James, recalling how he and Sarah had conspired against her in her past life.
Now was the time to settle the score.
James turned pale, “Mr. Asher Hargreaves, I’ve served the Hargreaves family for over ten years. I’ve worked hard.”
Sarah quickly defended him, “Yes, Asher, James has cared for us for years. We can’t kick him out for this minor mistake. Outsiders will think our family is ungrateful.”
Asher, always concerned about appearances, looked at Jennifer. “He took care of you as a child. You can’t just throw him out over this.”
Jennifer found it ridiculous. “He took care of me? He framed me at every turn, siding with Sarah and making my life miserable in Hargreaves Villa.”
Jennifer’s words stung, making Asher uncomfortable. “Is that true?”
James wouldn’t admit it.
Sarah chimed in, “Jennifer, James has always treated everyone fairly. You’re just angry because of me.”
Daniel couldn’t take it anymore, standing beside Jennifer. “Regardless of the password change, it’s his fault. He deserves

Asher looked uneasy. “Punishment is fine, but you can’t kick.
him out.”

Jennifer sensed Asher’s concern for his reputation.
She offered, “Then let’s deduct James‘ salary for a year, and if he makes a mistake during that time, he’s out.”
Sarah whispered, “Isn’t that excessive?”
Jennifer sneered, “If you think it’s too much, you can use your pocket money to cover James‘ salary.”
Sarah’s expression changed. “That’s not the same thing.
“Since James acted on your words, you share the responsibility. Don’t you want to help? If not, it seems your friendship is superficial. A little pressure and you’re ready to abandon him.”
Sarah felt cornered, noticing James‘ gaze.
She reluctantly agreed, “I don’t have much, but I’ll contribute.”
“That’s sufficient. You shouldn’t be so attached to it, right?” Jennifer smirked at Sarah, who begrudgingly complied, her heart aching.
Sarah, frustrated, said, “Jennifer, now that you’re back, what about the Clark family?”
