Chapter 577

After Jeremy heard what she said, a layer of frost appeared in his eyes. “We have concrete proof and yet you’re still saying that Linnie framed you?”

Yvonne trembled. She did not dare to look into Jeremy’s eyes. “I-I didn’t. I’ve been treating the old master like he’s my grandpa this whole time. How would I…”

Winston was livid. He slammed his hand down on the table loudly. “I didn’t expect it to be you!”

“No, it’s not me. I didn’t! Uncle Winston, you have to believe me—”

“The truth is right in front of our eyes and you’re still lying to us!” Winston was outraged, and his face was turning from red to green.

After Karen got over her shock, she felt nervous.

Before she could get roped into this, she decided to gain the initiative by striking first. Hence, she slapped Yvonne heavily across the face.

“Yvonne, you’re such a disappointment! You’ve ruined the reputation of the Yalemans! I’m so mad!”

Karen pretended to feel resentful toward Yvonne for failing to meet her expectations. Then, she picked up the cane and yelled heatedly.

“Yvonne, how could you hit the old master? Are you insane? As your aunt, I have to punish you right now!”

As she shrieked, she pretended to hit Yvonne with the cane. Yvonne started wailing and bawling cooperatively. “Stop hitting me, Aunty Karen! It’s not me! I didn’t abuse the old master! Madeline is framing me! It’s her…”

Smack!

“Ah!”

Yvonne was still quibbling when a belt struck her violently.

She screamed and jumped up in pain.

When she lifted her head, she noticed that it was Jeremy who whipped her just now.

“J-Jeremy? Did you just whip me?” Yvonne stared at him tearfully while feeling shocked.

Jeremy’s face was dark, and his tone was icy when he said, “You should know how much it hurts to be whipped. Did you ever consider the fact that Grandpa will also be in this much pain when you hit him?”

“…” Yvonne was speechless as she stood there dumbfoundedly.

“Now that the truth has come out, you all should know who’s the real abuser who needs to be punished by the law.” Jeremy threw the cane at Yvonne’s feet.

The two policemen understood immediately. When Yvonne was at a loss, they clicked the handcuffs on her wrists. Then, they took her away.

After Yvonne registered what was going on, she started bawling and screeching. “I don’t want to go to prison! Aunty Karen, it has nothing to do with me! I didn’t do anything! I-I must’ve been sleepwalking!

Aunty Karen, help me! If I go to prison, my whole life will be ruined!”

When Karen heard that, she immediately spoke well of Yvonne to Winston. “Win, you heard her.

Yvonne didn’t do it on purpose. She was just sleepwalking. She’s sick and didn’t mean to!”

“Do you think you can wipe out the fact that she abused Grandpa with the excuse of sleepwalking? Do you think it can smooth out how she has slandered Linnie?”

Jeremy’s tone was firm and his gaze was stern.

“Before the truth came out, you were criticizing and berating Linnie. You wanted her to go to prison so badly. Now that the truth has been exposed, you don’t even want to look into it? Do you think my wife deserves to be bullied, or do you think Grandpa deserves to be abused by that shrew?”

Karen was speechless. She knew she would infuriate Jeremy if she said something. If that was the case, there would be even worse consequences.

Yvonne was bawling when she was brought away by the police. She kept repeating that she was innocent.

Winston looked at the video of Yvonne abusing the old master again, his eyebrows knitting together tightly.

Then, when he turned around to see Madeline, he averted his gaze in guilt. He left without even apologizing to her.

It was evident that Karen would not apologize, so she just walked upstairs with a sour face.

Madeline looked at the two of them and there was a sarcastic smile on her face.

“Linnie, I’m sorry that you had to suffer the grievance again.” Jeremy’s deep voice glided into her ears.

Madeline shifted her alluring eyes. Then, she looked into Jeremy’s that were filled with apology and pity.

“The person who has suffered the most should be Grandpa.”
