Athena looked meaningfully at Ryan
Ryan understood at once and went to make a call. He came back very soon. "Mr. Easton did go to Serenity Villa last night. After that, he was sent urgently to Central Hospital."
Madelyn was sitting primly, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be reprimanded.
Grace's expression had softened from its initial sternness. In fact, on close inspection, she seemed to be trying to suppress a smile.
With Athena around, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to laugh out loud.
Grace had been irritated by Easton for a long time. He had been a playboy in high school too, and he hadn't changed much even after going abroad.
She used to wonder why Madelyn, whom she had raised, would be
attracted to someone like Easton.
"Maddie," Athena finally recovered and beckoned to Madelyn.
Madelyn walked over meekly and
crouched down in front of Athena. Athena took her hand and said rather seriously, "Tell me the truth. There was a period when you kept kicking up a fuss about wanting to go abroad with Easton, no? Why have Madelyn was inwardly shocked.
Grace looked at Madelyn too. That was the issue she was most
concerned about.
Madelyn looked at Athena in innocent confusion. "Whoever told you
that I wanted to go abroad with Easton, Grandma? Even if I did want to go, wouldn't I go with my husband?"
Athena and Grace were rendered speechless.
Who had told them? Elena, of course. She had been speaking up continuously on Madelyn's behalf to persuade them to grant
Madelyn's wish. Elena had even said that she was willing to stay with the Millers in Madelyn's stead.
Her martyr-like demeanor in sacrificing for her sister had been rather touching.
When they remained silent, Madelyn lowered her head, looking aggrieved. She said, "I only made a fuss in the past because I
misunderstood and thought that Andrew was seeing someone else."
"What?" Grace looked at her in shock.
Andrew, having an affair? For the past few years, the only ones. around him had been his family and Madelyn. Even female mosquitos wouldn't hang around him, let alone any other woman. Was Madelyn now saying that she had been kicking up a fuss because she had thought he was fooling around outside?
"You..." Grace was so angry that she could not speak.
Madelyn looked aggrieved and regretful of her own stupidity. "That's what Elena told me. She also told me that many women had died in Andrew's hands, so I got scared."
Athena and Grace were rendered speechless, and their expressions turned grim at once.
Madelyn continued to speak, but the two older women were so overwhelmed that they had no idea what to say to her.
They had called her back with the intention of settling the score with her for the night before, but now, they found themselves having to
On the top floor of the tallest building in Klago City, Andrew ha finished signing a document when Rowan walked in with a se expression. "Mr. Miller, she's gone back to the Miller residence!" She? Rowan shouldn't be addressing her that way!
Andrew's eyes darkened, and he looked warningly at Rowan.
He knew that Madelyn's antics over the past few years had made everyone around him dislike her. However, he would not permit anyone to disrespect her.
Rowan could feel the murderous look in Andrew's eyes, and he lowered his head stiffly.
Andrew got up and grabbed his coat as he walked out. "Rowan."
"Yes, Mr. Miller?"
"Tell Benson to come back. You'll be going to Shalla Desert for hal year."
Rowan's expression changed drastically.
Was Andrew going to send him to a place that was dry all year rour and didn't even have water for showering just because of one sentence?
He had always known that Andrew was obsessed with Madelyn, an now, that witch had even managed to make Andrew turn on thoseThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
closest to him! Rowan was angry.
"Mr. Miller-"
"You'll be ther for a year!"
Rowan was speechless.
