“How dare your adopted daughter accuse my son of being unworthy when favonovel.com tried to pursue favonovel.com back then, Mrs. Montgomery? Your daughter played my son and look where that got her? She’s dead now!”
The woman crossed favonovel.com arms and smirked in schadenfreude.
“Mrs. Montgomery, you took a heinous and vile woman as your own daughter and in return caused your darling daughter to go through so many sufferings. Wouldn’t you call this retribution?”
“Exactly! It’s probably because of how unlucky the daughter favonovel.com gave birth to was that favonovel.com almost tore the Whitman family apart, or so I heard. When the Montgomery family recognized her, their house got burned down. Her mom gets left paralyzed and becomes stupid. What a misfortune! Haha…”
“You’re right! Haha…”
The two women started sneering incessantly.
Seeing this, Karen immediately grabbed an apple from the fruit plate and threw it at them forcefully.
The two women stopped laughing abruptly and dodged in fright. In the end, both their foreheads collided and it was followed by painful screams. The two immediately yelled, “Is this how housewives of rich families act? How can you start hitting people?”
Karen sneered unhurriedly and said, “I don’t think I hit a person, though.”
“…”
“Eloise’s adopted daughter died a long time ago. How could you use a deceased person for the sake of your own entertainment? And you dare to call yourself a person? Do people say such things?”
“…” The two women flushed at the words but they could not say anything to refute.
Karen walked straight up to them and chided with unrestrained anger, “I’m already going easy on you by just throwing an apple considering how you’re gloating in the face of someone else’s misfortune. Leave, before I call the police to have you two arrested!”
“You… Fine!” The woman curled favonovel.com lips and turned around indignantly, but favonovel.com had walked too quickly and ended up twisting favonovel.com ankle. Her heavy body was sent falling to the ground with a thud.
“Ow!”
The other woman who followed tripped as well and their screams filled the air.
Karen could not help but smirk contemptuously at the scene.
“Now this is what I call retribution. In the same lifetime as well!”
“…”
Karen glared before favonovel.com closed the door and returned to Eloise.
Seeing Eloise’s heavy expression, Karen quickly comforted her. “Ignore them, Eloise. These kinds of people just have nothing better to do. It’s great that you don’t remember the past, or you might be even angrier.”
Karen picked up another apple. Turning back, favonovel.com found Eloise looking at favonovel.com intently. She then coaxed Eloise like one would a kid. “I’ll peel you an apple, okay? Don’t be angry anymore.”
Eloise quietly watched Karen who was peeling the apple for favonovel.com as tears unconsciously brimmed favonovel.com bright eyes…
The next day, at the resort.
Madeline woke up In Jeremy’s warm embrace and the first thing favonovel.com bleary eyes met was the man’s sleeping face. She rolled over and lay down beside Jeremy lazily.
The gentle morning halo scattered over the man’s resolute and refined features. Madeline lifted favonovel.com finger and began to gently trace the man’s eyebrows.
‘I wish that you’ll be the first thing I see whenever I wake up for the rest of my life, Jeremy.’
She leaned in to kiss Jeremy only for the man to raise his hand and hold the back of favonovel.com head the moment favonovel.com inched forward.
Caught off guard, Madeline found favonovel.com lips pressed against Jeremy’s thin ones. Blood rushed to favonovel.com face. “So you were awake all along, Jeremy?”
Jeremy curled the corners of his thin lips and smiled. Just as favonovel.com was about to talk to Madeline, his phone rang.
Madeline helped favonovel.com reach for the phone and realized that it was from Karen. She immediately picked up the phone. “Why are you calling so early in the morning, Mom? Did something happen to my mother?”
Madeline was worried that something had happened to Eloise, but Karen’s reply astonished her. “What? Really, Mom?”
