Chapter 391 This Is Her Real Purpose
It was fine if Chris didnât take a look. He couldnât help but get angry when he took a look.
Benson and Anisa were at the door of the empty room across the hall, and Alfred and Cecelia were there too. There were a lot of people gathered outside the door.
âWhat are they doing?â Queenie asked curiously.
âDid my dad let that woman stay at Madam Mariaâs house?â Dana wondered.
âDad, Mum, stay here. Iâm going over to check it out!â
Queenie walked over to poke around.
The wing was cleaned up, and Benson pushed Anisa into the house, followed by Anisaâs servants carrying some of her belongings.
For example, Anisaâs favourite antique gramophone was given to her by Alfred. She had kept it to this day, and it still worked.
âCamila, play my song. Letâs liven things up!â
Anisa was pleased with the house. She could see the opposite room through the doors and windows.
The gramophone was switched on, and the records were placed on it. Soon, the classic songs that Anisa had sung in her youth were slowly played.
Her singing could be heard throughout the courtyard.
Alfred quietly enjoyed listening to the songs Anisa sang in her youth. It was as if he could recall the romantic days of his youth through the songs.
The moment Queenie came to the door, she was very angry to see that Anisa was really living there.
Queenie could hear that the music on the gramophone was Anisaâs old songs, and she was furious that Anisa had deliberately played them so loudly.
âCan you turn the music down? Or you shut it down! My grandma is not feeling well right now. Sheâs lying down to rest. She needs to have a good rest!â
Anisa shot a look at Queenie and gave Camila the order. âCamila, turn the sound up. I canât hear it very well!â
âYes, madam.â
Camila didnât switch off the gramophone. Instead, she turned up the sound. Her singing voice became louder.
âGrandpa, look!â Queenie wanted to complain while Alfred said, âI havenât heard such beautiful singing in years.â Queenie didnât know what to say when she saw that Grandpa didnât care. She was about to explode with anger. âYou guys have gone too far!â To stop Anisa from making a scene, Queenie came in, knocked the gramophone over, and said, âListen! Keep listeningâ¦â Queenie not only smashed the gramophone but also stomped on it in anger. âNo! No! ⦠That was my favoriteâ¦â
Anisa screamed uncontrollably as she watched her favorite gramophone destroyed. Benson couldnât hold back. He grabbed Queenie by the hand and threw her back. Then he raised his hand and slapped her four times. âSlap!â âSlap!â âSlap!â âSlap!â Queenie was knocked to the ground. She was confused. Then she looked up and saw Bensonâs grim and ghastly face. âIf you ever disrespect my mother again, Iâll hurt you really badly!â Bensonâs word-for-word warning was terrifying to Queenie. âGrandpa, he hit meâ¦â After coming back to her senses, Queenie could only cry to Alfred.
There was no way that Alfred would defend her because what she just did was really too much.
âYou deserved it! How could you do that? How could you smash Anisaâs gramophone since she wanted to listen to music?â âForget it! Alfred, itâs okay. Unfortunately, that was the gramophone you gave me back thenâ¦â Seeing Anisa in tears, Alfred was more concerned about her. He immediately said, âJohnson, go get the gramophone in my room!â âYes!â Alfred wanted to defend Anisa. In the end, Queenie covered her sore cheeks and ran away in tears.
Cecelia stood by and watched the scene coldly. As the saying said, âTwo bulls canât reign in one pen.â
She helped Anisa and her son move into the Songo family, and she let them stay across the hall from Carol and get the same treatment.
Next, she would wait and see what would happen!
Queenie went back to the main house. She told her mum what had happened. When Dana looked at her daughterâs swollen face, she was very angry and worried about her daughter.
âGee! They have gone too far!â
Dana said to her husband, âChris, what are we going to do now? Anisa and Benson must have cast a spell on your dad. He actually took their side! And he even slapped Queenie!â
âUgh!â Chris sighed and said, âMy dad is such an old fool!â
Carol, who was lying in bed, was so angry that she punched the bed when she heard what had happened. âDid Alfred just hit Queenie because she broke Anisaâs gramophone? D*mn Alfred! Heâs trying to piss me off!â
The moment her voice broke off, Johnson came in from outside and tried to move the gramophone from the cupboard.
Seeing this, Carol rushed to stop Johnson and said, âJohnson, what are you doing?â
âMrs. Songo, Mr. Songo asked me to move the gramophone to compensate Madam Anisa.â
After saying that, Johnson moved the gramophone away. Carol didnât expect Alfred to do such a thing.
âPut it down! Do you hear meâ¦â
Carol got up. She ordered with shaking hands, but Johnson didnât stop. Soon, he left.
âPfftâ¦â
Carol was furious. She spat blood from her mouth and instantly collapsed on the bed.
âMum! Mumâ¦â
âQuick! Call an ambulanceâ¦â
Everyone started to scramble. Someone pinched her philtrum. Someone gave her CPR until the ambulance arrived at the Songo family.
Warda ran to report to Alfred. âGrandpa, something happened. My grandmother has passed out again. You have to come and see her!â
Alfred didnât say anything and followed Warda away.
As soon as Alfred left, Anisa once again put a cold look on her face. She had a strong hatred in her heart.
Anisa wanted Carol and the others to go through what she went through!
She thought, âWeâll see! This is just the beginning!â
âIâll go see her!â
Cecelia followed Alfred over. She had to see for herself how miserable Carol was.
The ambulance crew arrived with a stretcher in the main house room and put Carol on the stretcher. Cecelia stood in the courtyard and saw the unconscious Carol being carried away.
Carolâs maid ran out with the crew.
As she watched, Cecelia coldly snorted in her heart. âEveryone in the Songo family is not going to get away with this.â
Cecelia used Anisa to get at Carol.
She wanted to get rid of Carol without getting blood on her hands!
That was what she really wanted!
Just one night later, what happened to the Songo family made the news.
Alfred celebrated his 88th birthday. He recognized his own son. The fact that he married his fourth wife caused a sensation throughout Bemanko.
The netizens and the ordinary people took delight in talking about it. Many people envied Alfred, but only Alfred himself knew that he would never have a peaceful life.
Carolâs life was saved when she was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. Her children and grandchildren come to see Alfred. They unanimously demanded that Anisa move out of the Songo family.
âDad, you make the decision! The doctors have said my mum canât take any more pressure.
Thereâs no way sheâs going to live across from Mrs. Quinsey.â
Alfred was in a dilemma, but Cecelia stepped in. âGranduncle, Iâve got an idea that could work both ways!â
âOh? What is it?â asked Alfred.
