Chapter 543 An Overprotective Mother Leads to a Useless Son

Selena glared at Pierre harshly. "Why would you give a young boy such a harsh punishment? Are you telling me that you're making him stand there the entire night?!"

"An overprotective mother leads to a useless son!" That was all Pierre said. "Also, what are you doing so late at night?!"

"Where's that book that we've gotten from the Oberlin Family?"

Right then, Selena only recalled how the book that Jane initially wanted to use to frame Jameson was now in their hands. Indeed, they had to figure out what to do with this book.

As the book was thrown to the ground by Jameson, she picked it up, and the two of them started examining the book. After flipping through a few pages, Pierre nodded in confirmation. "It's a real artifact."

"Are you sure? But why would Jane use a real artifact to frame Jameson? Has she ever considered how much loss she needs to bear if she fails?!" Selena took the book and observed it. The pages in the book did look old, and most of the words were in a traditional form.

"It's real. There's no doubt about it," Pierre concluded after checking the book again.

Selena smiled bitterly. "Looks like Jane really went all out this time. I bet she didn't expect herself to lose everything. That's karma for her!"

She initially thought that Jane was a master at this, but it seemed like she was just an amateur. In fact, even an amateur was better than her. "Are we going to return it?"

"Why should we return it when it belongs to our country?" Pierre flipped through the book again before placing it on the table. "I'll arrange for someone to get this book back by tonight. I'm guessing that the Oberlin Family will come to us to get the book back."

"Is that... alright, though? What if they really come over and we can't give it back to them..." Selena was worried.

She initially just wanted to protect Jameson so that Jane could have a taste of her own medicine, but she didn't expect them to land in this hot mess.

"I'll deal with this and make sure that this book is returned to its rightful place."

Then, Pierre immediately instructed his men to wrap the ancient book well and keep it in a box before sending it back to Astoria that night.

During the night, besides Pierre and Selena, the entire Oberlin Family was restless as well.

At the same time, the lights in the living room of the Oberlin Residence were still on as if it was daylight.

Jane had already cleaned herself and changed into another outfit, but the liquid that those kids put into the foam machine still made her stink no matter how much perfume she used.

Even the entire lawn in the Oberlin Residence still had remnants of the smell!

All the maids couldn't help but cover their noses and gossip among themselves when they walked past Jane as she ran toward her father, Bradley Oberlin, who was sitting on the couch with a frown on his face. "Father! My dearest father! I honestly feel like dying right now!"

Bradley's frown tightened as he helped Jane up. "Get up and stop crying, my dear Jane. Let's have a conversation about this."

Then, Jane fell into her father's embrace. "Daddy, you must seek justice for me! Pierre and Selena had unquestionably gone overboard this time! Those brats of theirs as well!"

"I've already heard about what happened, Jane. It's your fault this time. Even if you wanted to frame Selena, you shouldn't have taken my ancient scroll!"

Bradley was furious regarding this. That ancient book was one of his favorite collections, and it was priceless!

"Daddy, is that book more important than me? Why are you still thinking about that book? Is my reputation not important? What about my dignity?" Jane stared at her father with teary eyes. She was the most favored child in the Oberlin Family, and her father had always treated her as if she was a precious gem!
