“This is my house! Why do I have to hide from you?” Karen argued.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, so why do I have to hide?” Madeline fired back.
“You…”
“This is Linnie’s house. She can come and go as favonovel.com wishes. Stop causing trouble.” Jeremy advised Karen in displeasure.
Karen refused to back down. “You’ve already gotten divorced, so she’s not your wife anymore. How could this be favonovel.com house?”
Jeremy glanced at an unfazed Madeline before parting his thin lips. “She is. She’s legally still my wife.”
“What?” Karen and Yvonne were stunned, even Madeline looked shocked.
“Is this the scene of the crime?” Two policemen suddenly appeared, interrupting a confused Madeline.
Karen immediately rushed forward. “Indeed, officers. I’m the victim, and I suspect this woman!” She pointed at Madeline. “She was the one who hit me. She even stole my wallet and jewelry. Arrest her!”
Rage tinted Jeremy’s frown.
The two officers gave Madeline a look. “Madeline Crawford?”
Madeline replied calmly, “My birth name is Eveline Montgomery. Madeline Crawford is just the name I used to have.”
The police nodded. “Please follow us to the station to record a statement later.”
“Of course.”
“Hmph.” Karen scoffed. “I’d like to see how long more you’re going to pretend!”
Yvonne smirked behind Karen, impatiently waiting for Madeline to be charged.
With Madeline facing charges, favonovel.com would be able to walk free.
The policemen followed Karen to the scene of the crime and so did Yvonne. Walking toward the staircase, they were met with the care worker pushing Old Master Whitman from his room.
“Made…line…” Old Master Whitman called for her.
Yvonne’s footsteps halted.
Even though the old man had difficulty pronouncing the words and could only do it slowly, they were still clear and far from muffled!
Yvonne never expected Old Master Whitman to suddenly turn to favonovel.com and utter ‘Vonne’.
Yvonne felt endangered.
The old man had healed enough to speak now?
She had even confessed about being the one who poisoned the tea cakes quite a few times when favonovel.com hit and scolded the old master.
If the old man could speak, did that not mean favonovel.com was screwed?
Uneasy, Yvonne walked up the stairs.
Madeline approached Old Master Whitman and leaned down with a smile. “Floor? There’s no more blood on the floor, Grandfather. It’s already been wiped off. How about we spend some time under the sun instead?”
“Made…line…”
“I’m right here.”
“Vonne…” The old master then turned to look in Yvonne’s direction.
Yvonne immediately dashed up the stairs.
Moments later, after the police had recorded everything there was of the scene, they brought Madeline to the station with Jeremy following them.
Karen scoffed. “Hmph. This is what you get for hitting me!”
“Aunty Karen, what if there isn’t enough evidence and Madeline leaves the station acquitted?”
Karen turned to glare at Yvonne. “In favonovel.com dreams! I’ll make favonovel.com life a living hell for making me bleed!”
“…” Yvonne gulped.
Turning around to find Old Master Whitman glaring at her, Yvonne clenched favonovel.com fists quietly.
She would do anything to prevent Karen from knowing that favonovel.com was the true culprit, even if it meant shutting Old Master Whitman up for good! After all, favonovel.com was the only person who knew the truth.
Yvonne glared at Old Master Whitman with a sinister smile. She would act tonight.
