Feeling Madeline's gaze on her, Ada was startled and had a guilty conscience.She immediately looked away in a panic and glanced at her mother who was next to her.Ada’s mother understood instantly and immediately targeted Madeline, saying, “Eveline, you were the one who prepared the dinner. Do you want to shirk responsibility now? Do you know what the consequences will be if Camille had drunk this bowl of soup?”Madeline met Ada's questioning eyes magnanimously. “I don't know what the consequences will be, but you two should be very clear about that.”“...” Ada’s mother flushed.“Miss Montgomery, what do you mean by that?” Ada asked, pretending to be wronged and confused.Madeline smiled slightly. “What do I mean? You two should know very well in your hearts.”“You… Eveline, just spit it out!” Ada's mother had an angry expression on her face. “Camille, look at this woman. How can she be so shameless? It’s fine that she has made a mistake and doesn't want to admit it, but she’s
Ada’s mother quickly walked over and started stirring the soup in the pot continuously with the ladle. Then, she used the fork to slice open the stomach of the chicken.The strong smell of peanuts started spreading in the air. Everyone could see a fistful of peanuts hiding in the stomach of the chicken.When Camille saw this, her face was flushed white.She backed away, extremely disgusted and scared of peanuts.“Eveline, you’re so devious. Carter had explicitly told you that I can’t touch peanuts, yet you put so much of them in the soup. You even hid them so secretively. You’re obviously trying to kill me!”When Carter saw this, his expression became cold.“You’re so careless.” His tone was filled with blame and dissatisfaction.“This is not carelessness, she did this on purpose! She must be harboring hard feelings for Camille because she lectured her last time. How evil!” Ada’s mother did not miss out on any chance to add fuel to fire.Ada was very satisfied now. Even though
After Madeline said that, everyone’s gaze landed on Madeline.They followed Madeline’s gaze and their eyes fell on the spoon Madeline was holding.However, when they saw what was on the spoon, Ada’s face fell. She subconsciously lifted her hand to touch her ear and realized the earring on her left ear had fallen without her knowledge.It had fallen into the pot that was used to make the soup!Ada’s heartbeat became erratic. She hurriedly lifted her hand to take off the earring on her right ear when Madeline looked over at her.“Oh, this earring seems to be the same as the one you’re wearing right now, Miss Ada.”“...”Ada paused the movement of her removing her earring abruptly.Carter and Camille looked at her at the same time. Then, the aunts all turned their attention to her.A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Ada’s forehead. Her eyes started shifting hurriedly as well.“That’s not Ada’s earring!” Ada’s mother quickly tried to explain and defend her.Madeline slowly l
Camille nodded while looking serious. "Actually, it’s easy if we want to know whether she did or not. There’s a CCTV in the hallway leading to the kitchen. We just need to check the CCTV footage to see if Ada has been to the kitchen.""..."When she said that, both Ada and her mother’s faces instantly froze. Their faces gradually turned pale.When Camille noticed that change in their expressions, there was a sudden disappointment in her eyes. "Ada, I didn't expect that you’d do such a thing.""..." Ada was panicking. She did not know that there was a surveillance camera outside the kitchen door, and she could not explain why her earring was in the pot. At that moment, she had no choice but to admit it. " Aunty Cammy, I know what I did was wrong!”When Ada’s mother heard what she said, she turned her head hurriedly. "Have you gone mad, Ada? Why are you admitting to it just like that? You—""..."When she said that, Ada’s mother realized her reply was just another confirmation tha
Madeline looked at the closed door suspiciously and could guess why Camille was looking for her.Knock, knock.Camille knocked on the door again and spoke at the same time."Eveline, I know you’re in there. Open the door."Without thinking further, Madeline walked over and opened the door.When Camille saw that the door was open, she looked up at Madeline who was standing in front of her. She was silent for a few seconds before she spoke."I want to say sorry for what happened just now, and thank you for stopping me from drinking that bowl of soup in time."When Madeline heard Camille's words of gratefulness and thanks, she was not particularly surprised.When she recalled how sternly Camille had scolded Ada and her mother after seeing through their tricks with a clear head, Madeline knew that Camille was a person who knew right from wrong.That was why she had already expected her to come over.Her ability to apologize like this was enough to explain her character.Madeline
Cathy was taken aback. Felipe quickly raised his hand and gently covered Cathy's mouth.However, his sudden and large movement obviously affected his wound.Felipe frowned but still pulled the corners of his lips to smile softly at Cathy."Don't be afraid. It's just me."He spoke, his tone sounding a little weak.Cathy pushed Jeremy's hand away and took two steps back.When Felipe saw how frightened she was, he felt a little heartbroken.When he remembered how she looked in his arms when she was dying with blood flowing out of her body, he could not help but feel himself tearing up.Cathy saw sadness on Felipe's face. She was curious and faintly felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by something."Why are you crying?" Cathy could not help but ask.Felipe pursed his thin lips and lifted the corners of his pale lips."I’m happy." He smiled lightly as he stared deeply at the person in front of him. He wanted to say that it was nice to see her. He also wanted to say tha
When she heard what he said, it was as if something heavy had hit her chest.Cathy opened her eyes wide and felt her thoughts pulling her back. She blanked out for a moment.‘Cathy.’Adam said that he would never let Cathy return to that man.‘Is the Cathy Adam mentioned really me?‘Am I really Cathy?’Cathy was dumbfounded and stunned on the spot. All of her attention fell on Felipe's body involuntarily.She saw Felipe's graceful and innocent handsome face showing a regretful smile."Don't worry, I won't force Cathy to do anything anymore. I’ve seen it myself that she’s more suited to stay with you now," Felipe said with a sad smile, "I know I can't give her the happiness she deserves. I just can't help but miss her.”"Miss her?" Adam laughed sarcastically. "If you really missed her, how could you have ordered someone to shoot Cathy in the first place?!"Hiss.When he brought up the events of that year and that day, Felipe's face suddenly sank coldly. A touch of pain flowed
Unknowingly, Felipe had been walking for a while before he stopped in his steps and looked up. When he looked up, he realized that everything in front of him was gray.He really wished that he could go back in time, but everything was too late.Some things could not go back to how they were after they happened.He closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with endless regret."Felipe!"Suddenly, a fierce voice interrupted his thoughts.Felipe opened his eyes. It turned out that there were some people asking for trouble.He still remembered that during the time when he thought Cathy was dead, he was determined to get on the right path for Cathy. As such, he eventually gave up the business he was in before.However, the men who were initially under him rebelled.Even though it had been a long time since it happened, they never stopped chasing after him. He also knew that those who he had called brothers were only in it for profit and money.In this world, the only person who wo
