“...” Yvonne was shocked when she heard that.Karen was horrified by what she saw. She only came back to her senses after a long while. “Yvonne!”She wanted to go help Yvonne, but Madeline was in her way. She roared in anger. “You piece of trash, get lost!”“Piece of trash?” Madeline looked at her coldly.Karen was taken aback. Suddenly, she saw a sharp and piercing glint in Madeline’s eyes. The glint was the same as when Madeline exposed her identity. “Madeline, y-you…”“Why? Are you trying to threaten me when Jeremy’s not here? Do you think I’m that old Madeline who would allow you to do anything to her?”What?Karen widened her eyes in shock. Then, she looked at Madeline’s face in dumbfoundedness. Suddenly, she felt nervous.Madeline looked at her coldly as she picked up her knife and fork. Then, she pushed Karen’s shredded eggs together before pushing the plate in front of her.“It’s a heinous thing to waste food, my darling mother-in-law. You have to finish this.”“...”
However, Madeline agreed. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”“Ugh ugh ugh!” The old master was even more emotional than before.Madeline turned around and walked toward him. The sharp look in her eyes softened. “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, I’m not the old Madeline anymore.”Despite her comforts, the old master was still making sounds of protest with all his might. He wanted to stop Madeline.However, Madeline still left with them.The car arrived at the villa Felipe bought in the suburbs. He had already made Madeline’s favorite black tea.When he saw Madeline, he poured her a glass of tea considerately. As usual, he displayed a gentle and elegant smile.“Maddie, sit down and have some tea. I’ll explain to you what happened recently.”Madeline smiled. “No need. I’m not drinking the tea as well.”Felipe froze as he held the cup. Then, he looked over at her coldly.On the other hand, Madeline was smiling calmly. Her eyes were twinkling with confidence. “I came here to talk to you abo
Jeremy felt that something was not right. He knew that Felipe would not let Madeline come back so easily.He was worried if Madeline was being threatened. After he entered the house, he went into the old master’s room to look for Madeline.When he saw the door closing, he hesitated for two seconds before opening the door and walking inside.After he opened the door, he saw Madeline making the bed for the old master. When she saw him, she smiled.“Jeremy, you’re just in time. It’s time for Grandpa to rest. You should help him to bed.”Jeremy did as she instructed. He helped the old master into the bed comfortably and placed the blanket over him.“Grandpa, rest well. Linnie and I will be taking care of you, so you’ll recover soon.” Jeremy comforted the old master softly. There was a rare gentle smile on his face.The old master could not move, so he could only blink to respond to him.Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and left the room together. Ignoring the aunt and niece who were sta
Karen was proud of this ‘report card’. She felt that she could crush Madeline’s spirit with this.However, Madeline was not bothered by this. She only worked on her drafts silently.Her daily routine was pretty simple. She would draw in the morning and take care of the old master. At night, she would spend more of her time with Jackson.She would read to the boy and teach him how to read. Sometimes, they would even make some arts and crafts. They were having the time of their lives.Jeremy did not waste any time. Despite Felipe not making any moves recently, he knew he had to be hatching an evil plan at the moment. He had promised that if he lost Whitman Corporation, he would definitely get it back. This was not a joke and he had already taken action regarding this.Plus, he knew that Felipe was still attracted to Madeline. If he wanted to keep the love of his life with him, then he needed to be one step ahead of Felipe.…A few days later, the day of the competition was confi
The moment Winston came back, he called Madeline over. This elicited Karen and Yvonne’s curiosity.However, Yvonne felt that this was a great chance to steal the drafts!Using this opportunity, Yvonne snapped a picture of the draft with her phone.When Karen saw this, she walked over curiously. “Yvonne, what are you doing?”Yvonne’s brain worked fast after she was caught taking a picture of the draft. “Aunty Karen, I thought of a way to make Madeline never be able to lift her head up high again! She’ll stop being arrogant soon enough!”“Oh?” Karen’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”Yvonne smirked evilly and got close to Karen’s ear before mumbling something inaudibly.After Karen heard that, the same malicious smirk appeared on her face as well.After Madeline was called to one side by Winston, he called her to surrender before she could ask what was going on.“Surrender?” Madeline asked. Then, she smiled calmly. “You’re convinced that I’m the one who poisoned Grandpa just from the
“Yeah, Uncle Winston. Maybe Madeline is really innocent. It’ll be bad if it turns out we’re falsely accusing her.” Yvonne sided with Madeline pretentiously as well.Madeline knew very well that these two were just acting pragmatically. They were only doing this because Jeremy was around.Winston got up with a horrible expression on his face. “I don’t have an appetite anymore.”“Win, Win!” Karen chased after him while pretending to be worried.As such, Yvonne found an excuse to leave as well.After the three of them left, Jeremy felt much better. He looked at Madeline pitifully as she continued feeding the old master. “Linnie, you should eat first. Let me do it.”“No need. I’m not hungry.”“Linnie, don’t mind what was said just now. I’ll believe you no matter what.” Jeremy’s gaze was gentle. “Since Grandpa is eating and sleeping well recently, I’m certain you’re not the culprit.”Madeline looked into his gentle gaze. “You saying this is more than enough for me.”“It’s not. I’ll
Yvonne started screaming. Soon, she alerted everyone in the house.However, Madeline was surprised by the word Yvonne had yelled out just now.Abuse?Karen and Winston arrived at the scene shortly after.When they saw the bruises and wounds on the old master’s arm, their eyes widened.“W-What happened?” Winston questioned. Then, he rushed forward to inspect the old master’s condition.Karen walked over with worry on her face as well. When she got over, she pushed Madeline away. “Oh, Old Master, what happened to you? Did you fall from the bed?”“Aunty Karen, they don’t look like they’re from a fall. It’s obvious that someone is deliberately abusing Grandpa!” Yvonne purposely fanned the flames to Madeline. “Madeline, you’re the one who’s been taking care of Grandpa after he got here. Were the wounds on Grandpa…’“Watch your mouth.” Jeremy’s cold voice came from outside the room.Yvonne quivered reflexively. She lifted her head timidly and saw Jeremy’s cold side profile. She did
The old master’s wounds had been dressed. When he saw Yvonne, he widened his eyes and started moaning and groaning.He wanted to say something, but no words came out.When Yvonne saw the old master’s reaction, she started crying thief and pushed all the blame to Madeline who was standing at one side. “Uncle Winston, Aunty Karen, look! Grandpa is so emotional when he sees Madeline. She must be the one who abused him! Grandpa is so pitiful!”Winston was immediately instigated. “Madeline, I’ll find the proof and send you to the police station myself!”Madeline smiled magnanimously. “I think I’ll find the proof even faster to prove my innocence.”“I’ll also prove that my wife is innocent.” Jeremy stopped the car and came over. He was still supporting Madeline.“Jeremy, if you continue getting fooled by this woman, our family will be destroyed!” Winston boomed as he pushed the old master back into his room.Karen purposely let out a loud sigh. “Jeremy, if you don’t want your grandpa
