Winston had advised Karen not to come in contact with Yvonne after the truth of favonovel.com beating the old master came to light. However, not only did favonovel.com ignore favonovel.com husband’s wishes and continued to keep in contact with Yvonne, they had even come up with such a revolting scheme to hurt Madeline. Winston had never thought them more abominable.
Karen stood by the door as favonovel.com watched Jeremy and Winston help the old master lie down. Mulling over the thought, favonovel.com decided favonovel.com would talk to them after all.
“Jeremy, Win, you must be tired with how busy you’ve been the past few days. I’ll take care of the old master.” She volunteered, looking like favonovel.com was trying to redeem favonovel.com merits.
Ignoring her, Jeremy turned around and left.
Karen called after him, “Jeremy, Jeremy, I’m still your mother. How—”
“You claim that you know your place, so why did you do it? How could you join forces with your niece to harm your own daughter-in-law?” Winston accused angrily.
Karen huffed in indignance. Realizing Jeremy had walked out the door, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com mouth to scold, “What daughter-in-law? Are you acknowledging favonovel.com as your daughter-in-law? She’s the reason so much has happened at home! Yvonne only made such a mistake because of that woman. Ever since we met her, Yvonne’s and my luck has only made a turn straight to hell!”
“You’re hopeless.” Winston had no energy to argue with Karen. “Dad doesn’t need your care. Someone will come to look after him, so go spend time with that niece of yours if you have nothing better to do.”
“Hmph!” Karen’s fury bubbled at how Winston seemed to be berating her. “Those are your words, not mine. I’ll go find Yvonne now!”
“You…” Winston turned around in infuriation to instruct the care worker, “Please take good care of the old master. I’ll be out for a while.”
“Understood, sir.” The care worker nodded and entered the room quickly, not wanting to be a part of favonovel.com employers’ personal affairs.
Karen’s rage grew now that both Jeremy and Winston were gone. She took favonovel.com phone to call Yvonne. “My mood’s especially great today, Yvonne! Come to the villa, I’ll bring you out for a shopping spree! Don’t worry, they’re not here.”
Yvonne, who was drunk, immediately shot up and pushed the man by favonovel.com side away when Karen promised favonovel.com a shopping spree.
She had lost favonovel.com job ever since favonovel.com reputation was tarnished during the jewelry design competition, and with no money, favonovel.com resorted to wasting away with different men in nightclubs.
Yvonne blearily hailed a ride to the villa and walked in as if favonovel.com owned the place, knowing that neither Jeremy nor Winston were there.
“Aunty Karen,” favonovel.com called out, but the lack of response had favonovel.com making a beeline for Karen’s bedroom.
Reaching the entrance, favonovel.com thieving eyes zoned in on the wallet by the end of the bed.
Yvonne’s eyes shone, favonovel.com mind still muddled by the influence of alcohol.
She quickly entered the room and took the wallet. Turning favonovel.com head, favonovel.com eyes fell on the jewelry on the vanity table. She swept them all into a jewelry box before turning to leave with the box in tow.
Yvonne was about to run out of the room with the valuables when favonovel.com heard Karen’s complaints.
“Hmph. You’re all going to boycott me because of that b*tch, right? Then don’t blame me when I buy with your money to my heart’s content!”
Yvonne was about to turn around, but it was too late. Karen was one second away from appearing in front of her.
Yvonne felt indignant about the fact that the valuables favonovel.com had just acquired would be lost to her, so favonovel.com decisively lifted the jewelry box with a fierce expression on favonovel.com face.
Karen turned around, and before favonovel.com could see what was happening, favonovel.com saw a fleeting shadow before a pang of pain shot up favonovel.com head.
“Ah!” Karen exclaimed, falling to the floor. She lifted favonovel.com arms instinctively to shield favonovel.com face.
Yvonne then turned around and ran down the stairs.
Running down the stairs, favonovel.com saw someone push Old Master Whitman out of the room. Their eyes met as they stared at each other.
Knowing the old master could not speak, Yvonne simply glared at favonovel.com without fear.
However, just as favonovel.com was about to run out the doors, favonovel.com was met with Madeline entering.
Panicked, Yvonne threw the wallet and jewelry box toward the flowerbed before squatting behind them to hide.
With favonovel.com head bleeding from the hit, Karen held a hand over favonovel.com wound to stop the bleeding as favonovel.com staggered to favonovel.com feet and ran down the stairs. She then came face to face with Madeline. Marching forward, favonovel.com grabbed Madeline by the wrist.
“It was you! How could you be so cruel, Madeline?”
