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
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
