Chapter 373

Jon and Rose started straight at Madeline when she lifted the cup to her lips and was about to taste the tea. They were waiting expectantly for Madeline to drink it.

Madeline’s lips were about to touch the rim of the cup, but all of a sudden, she lifted her gaze and there was a sharp glint in her eyes.

Jon and Rose were startled. When they were trying to figure out what Madeline was thinking about, she flung her right hand and the tea splashed onto both of their faces.

Even though the water was not at its boiling point, it was at least 150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jon and Rose wailed in pain while their faces were burnt red.

“You! Vera, what the hell are you doing?” Rose took a piece of tissue to wipe her face angrily. Her face at this moment was terrifyingly red and malevolent.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I don’t know that you’d put something in the tea?” Madeline asked in an icy tone. Then, she threw the cup at Jon and Rose’s feet.

With a smash, the cup broke into pieces. Jon and Rose dodged away from it as they were scared to get hurt by the pieces.

Rose and Jon had been splashed with hot water and were almost smashed with the cup in such a short period of time. They could not come back to their senses after a long while.

After they came back to their senses, Madeline was already standing in front of them. “How’s it? Is the tea delicious?”

Rose’s brain registered what was going on as she rolled up her sleeves furiously. Her face looked sinister. “Darling, shut the door!”

When Jon heard that, he quickly ran over to shut the door.

Rose bared her teeth as she glared at Madeline. “How dare you be so unbridled even when you’re in our territory?! Vera, I’m going to let you see what I can do!”

She lifted her hand and slapped in the direction of Madeline’s face.

Madeline reached out her hand and grabbed Rose’s wrist tightly. There was an icy glint in her eyes.

“The moment I opened my eyes again, I swore that I would never let anyone hurt me anymore!”

She swung away Rose’s wrist coldly.

Rose was stuck in a daze when she saw Madeline’s murderous gaze. She stumbled and crashed into the sofa before falling on the broken shards of the cup. Finally, she came back to her senses and started barking orders at Jon.

“Darling, get that b*tch! I’m going to kill her today!”

Jon had an aggressive look on his face. He pounced at Madeline while making threatening gestures.

Madeline reached out her hand calmly, and with the three tactics that Felipe taught her to fight against sexual predators, she managed to take Jon down. Then, she pushed him onto Rose.

“Ouch!”

Rose wailed in pain. Her bottom was bleeding profusely.

How could Jon have expected himself to lose against such a tiny woman? He got up from the floor to get a weapon.

However, when he placed his hand on the floor to support himself, a high heel stepped right on the back of his hand.

He lifted his head in disbelief as he met Madeline’s cold gaze instantly.

She was towering over him, stifling him with her monarch-like temperament.

“Does it hurt?” Madeline asked with a smile. “However, how could this force compare to the pain of you stepping on my fingers and trying to crush them under your feet?”

When Jon heard that, he was stunned. “W-What are you talking about? When did I step on your hand?”

“No?” Madeline chuckled lowly. “It was just a few years ago. Have you gotten Alzheimer’s so soon? If you do, then let me help you remember.”

Madeline restrained her gaze and waved her hand. Then, with a loud smack, fingerprints slowly appeared on Jon’s right cheek.

Jon was stunned.

Rose also widened her eyes in shock.

“H-How dare you slap my husband?”

Madeline lifted her cold gaze. “So what? Do I have to ask for your permission? Did you ask for my permission when you slapped and kicked me again and again?”

“…”

“…”

After Madeline questioned them, Jon and Rose’s eyes were as wide as saucers.

The air around them plunged into silence. However, Jon and Rose were disturbed. Then, a storm started in their hearts.

“W-What did you say?” Rose pointed at Madeline with shaky fingers, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“What did I say? Don’t you know the human language?”
