Winston had advised Karen not to come in contact with Yvonne after the truth of virtual-novel.net beating the old master came to light. However, not only did virtual-novel.net ignore virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net watched Jeremy and Winston help the old master lie down. Mulling over the thought, virtual-novel.net decided virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was trying to redeem virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth to scold, “What daughter-in-law? Are you acknowledging virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net employers’ personal affairs.
Karen’s rage grew now that both Jeremy and Winston were gone. She took virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net side away when Karen promised virtual-novel.net a shopping spree.
She had lost virtual-novel.net job ever since virtual-novel.net reputation was tarnished during the jewelry design competition, and with no money, virtual-novel.net resorted to wasting away with different men in nightclubs.
Yvonne blearily hailed a ride to the villa and walked in as if virtual-novel.net owned the place, knowing that neither Jeremy nor Winston were there.
“Aunty Karen,” virtual-novel.net called out, but the lack of response had virtual-novel.net making a beeline for Karen’s bedroom.
Reaching the entrance, virtual-novel.net thieving eyes zoned in on the wallet by the end of the bed.
Yvonne’s eyes shone, virtual-novel.net mind still muddled by the influence of alcohol.
She quickly entered the room and took the wallet. Turning virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had just acquired would be lost to her, so virtual-novel.net decisively lifted the jewelry box with a fierce expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Karen turned around, and before virtual-novel.net could see what was happening, virtual-novel.net saw a fleeting shadow before a pang of pain shot up virtual-novel.net head.
“Ah!” Karen exclaimed, falling to the floor. She lifted virtual-novel.net arms instinctively to shield virtual-novel.net face.
Yvonne then turned around and ran down the stairs.
Running down the stairs, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net without fear.
However, just as virtual-novel.net was about to run out the doors, virtual-novel.net was met with Madeline entering.
Panicked, Yvonne threw the wallet and jewelry box toward the flowerbed before squatting behind them to hide.
With virtual-novel.net head bleeding from the hit, Karen held a hand over virtual-novel.net wound to stop the bleeding as virtual-novel.net staggered to virtual-novel.net feet and ran down the stairs. She then came face to face with Madeline. Marching forward, virtual-novel.net grabbed Madeline by the wrist.
“It was you! How could you be so cruel, Madeline?”
