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
Yvonne was basking in schadenfreude as she waited for the police to take Madeline away. However, she did not expect Jeremy to come back just in time.As she was worried that her plan would be foiled if they were to delay this, Yvonne could not help herself and said, “Jeremy, you’re back just in time. Madeline abused Grandpa yet again! Look! He has so many new wounds on his arm!”“I called the cops. This woman is too evil. She has to be punished by law!” Winston’s face was green from anger. There were even flames of rage in his eyes.Karen pretended to moan in devastation. “Madeline, everything is in the past, so why are you still so determined to take your revenge on us? Meredith was the one who harmed and falsely accused you. What did that have to do with us Whitmans? You’ve already caused Jeremy to lose everything. Are you going to stop only when the old master is dead?”She forced a tear from her eye as she put on a heartbroken and angry expression.“The old master is so pitifu
‘What?’Yvonne’s heart started to race when she heard that. She widened her eyes while feeling as if she was at a loss. Then, she glared at Madeline in disbelief.‘How is that possible?‘She installed a camera in the room? Does it mean that she knows what I’ve done?‘If she knows, then why didn’t she expose me?‘This must be fake! She must be trying to lure me out!’Yvonne was trying her best to comfort and calm herself down.“What? A camera? How dare you install a camera in the old master’s room? Madeline, how can you be so perverted?” Karen mocked Madeline using this opportunity.However, Madeline was magnanimous. “Grandpa can’t speak nor move. I installed this so that I could monitor Grandpa’s situation. Don’t force your filthy and perverted thoughts on me.”“D-Did you say that I’m filthy and perverted? You…” Karen’s face was red. She wanted to argue when she noticed a murderous aura in Madeline’s eyes.On the other hand, Winston had already moved a computer over. He was a
After Jeremy heard what she said, a layer of frost appeared in his eyes. “We have concrete proof and yet you’re still saying that Linnie framed you?”Yvonne trembled. She did not dare to look into Jeremy’s eyes. “I-I didn’t. I’ve been treating the old master like he’s my grandpa this whole time. How would I…”Winston was livid. He slammed his hand down on the table loudly. “I didn’t expect it to be you!”“No, it’s not me. I didn’t! Uncle Winston, you have to believe me—”“The truth is right in front of our eyes and you’re still lying to us!” Winston was outraged, and his face was turning from red to green.After Karen got over her shock, she felt nervous.Before she could get roped into this, she decided to gain the initiative by striking first. Hence, she slapped Yvonne heavily across the face.“Yvonne, you’re such a disappointment! You’ve ruined the reputation of the Yalemans! I’m so mad!”Karen pretended to feel resentful toward Yvonne for failing to meet her expectations. T
“Linnie.”“Maybe I’m just so despicable. Your cousin is clearly doing that to get rid of me. I think that… she might like you a lot.”“You dummy, no one can get rid of you and no one can get rid of your position in my heart.” He held her hand and looked at her sincerely. “Linnie, can you promise me one thing?”Madeline frowned in curiosity. “What is it?”Jeremy moved his lips. Then, he smiled and did not say anything. “It’s fine. I’ll tell you next time.”Madeline did not ask him about it, but a hint of joy flashed across her stunning eyes.After Yvonne was brought away by the police, the house was more peaceful.Karen did not have the power to do anything now that she was alone. Moreover, she felt that Madeline was acting weird these few days.Madeline looked weak and was easy to bully. However, if they decided to cause trouble for her, what they did to her would only come back to bite them in the bottom.As such, Karen did not dare to do anything impulsive.Under Madeline’s
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
