Chapter 573

Yvonne started screaming. Soon, she alerted everyone in the house.

However, Madeline was surprised by the word Yvonne had yelled out just now.

Abuse?

Karen and Winston arrived at the scene shortly after.

When they saw the bruises and wounds on the old master’s arm, their eyes widened.

“W-What happened?” Winston questioned. Then, he rushed forward to inspect the old master’s condition.

Karen walked over with worry on her face as well. When she got over, she pushed Madeline away. “Oh, Old Master, what happened to you? Did you fall from the bed?”

“Aunty Karen, they don’t look like they’re from a fall. It’s obvious that someone is deliberately abusing Grandpa!” Yvonne purposely fanned the flames to Madeline. “Madeline, you’re the one who’s been taking care of Grandpa after he got here. Were the wounds on Grandpa…’

“Watch your mouth.” Jeremy’s cold voice came from outside the room.

Yvonne quivered reflexively. She lifted her head timidly and saw Jeremy’s cold side profile. She did not dare to say anything anymore.

Jeremy walked next to Madeline, his icy gaze softening. “What happened? What happened to Grandpa?”

Before Madeline could say anything, Karen ran over angrily and accused Madeline. “Madeline, you’re too cruel! You look fragile on the surface, but you have such a dark heart! You paralyzed the old master and now you’re doing such heinous things!”

Jeremy’s eyes went cold. “How many times do I have to tell you that Linnie has nothing to do with Grandpa getting poisoned?”

“If she’s not related to that, what about this?” Winston charged over while fuming. He pointed at the old master’s wounds with trembling fingers. “Jeremy, go look at your grandpa’s wounds. Do you think a human is capable of doing this?”

“Madeline, if you still hold a grudge toward the Whitmans, you can just come at me! The old master is so old. Will you only be happy after you torture him to death?”

Madeline looked into Winston’s raging eyes calmly. “Even if you don’t believe me, I’m still going to tell you the same thing. I have nothing to do with the wounds on the old master’s body and I’ve never done something so immoral.”

“You didn’t? You’re obviously the one who did it!”

“If Linnie said she didn’t do it, then she didn’t.” After Jeremy looked at the old master’s wounds, he went back to Madeline’s side instantly to defend her. His tone was certain and he was firm with his attitude. “Let’s just send Grandpa to the hospital. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Jeremy put on the old master’s clothes for him without saying anything.

Despite Jeremy’s promise, Madeline could still sense Winston’s suspicion toward her.

He was looking at her like he wanted to kill her.

Right, anyone would be devastated if they saw their father getting abused like this.

Jeremy and his parents sent the old master to the hospital while Madeline and Yvonne stayed back.

After they left, Yvonne started acting weird. “Madeline, there’s no one here anymore, so you don’t have to pretend to have lost your memories. You’re so cruel. You could even hurt an old person. When will you be satisfied with your revenge?”

Madeline lifted her gaze to look at her calmly. Then, she smirked all of a sudden. “It depends when you’re going to stop.”

“…” Yvonne’s face turned white when she heard that. “W-What are you bullsh*tting about?”

“You know what I said.” Madeline curled the corners of her lips. “I did lose my memories, but I’m not an idiot. No one can avoid wetting their shoes if they always walk along the riverside. You should know this.”

“…” Yvonne rolled her thieving eyes. She kept feeling as if Madeline knew something.

However, she also thought that Madeline might be fooling her. She could not panic.

When the sun started setting, Jeremy came back with the old master.
