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
After she heard that, Madeline gripped the handle of her cup dispiritedly.Looking at the liquid in the cup, she could not help but recall Jeremy’s gentle gaze when he looked at her the other day.Judging from his eyes, Madeline did not think he was pretending.For some reason, her heart started to beat faster.“Vera, what are you thinking about?”“Nothing.” Madeline came back to her senses and took a sip of her tea. “I can’t remember what happened in the middle. However, Jeremy did hurt me back then. He allowed his mistress and his family to humiliate and insult me. I know all about that. I’ll definitely seek revenge for this.”When she said this, there was a flash of resentment in Madeline’s eyes.Felipe looked at Madeline’s expression silently, curling his lips into a smirk.“Vera, just do what you need to do. I’ll support and wait for you.”“Thank you, Felipe. I know you’re the one who saved me when I was about to die.”Felipe was surprised. He had never told her this aft
…After a while, Felipe asked someone to send Madeline home.On the way home, Madeline played with her phone and realized that Jeremy had sent her a message a while ago. However, it stated that she had seen the message.She looked out the window and pondered. At the same time, the car was driving downhill.The speed of the car distracted her as a seemingly familiar scene appeared in her mind.When she came back to her senses, the car had stopped in front of her house.Jeremy came back the same time she got out of the car.When he saw Madeline standing at the front door with a dazed look on her face, he got out of the car hurriedly and ran toward her. “Linnie?”Madeline came back to her senses when she heard someone calling her name.She lifted her head and her eyes met Jeremy’s worried gaze. She smiled softly. “My mom called me just now and told me there’s a charity dinner tonight. She wants me to go with her, so I went to the mall just now. But I didn’t like any of the dresse
