Chapter 1562

Ada’s mother quickly walked over and started stirring the soup in the pot continuously with the ladle.

Then, she used the fork to slice open the stomach of the chicken.

The strong smell of peanuts started spreading in the air. Everyone could see a fistful of peanuts hiding in the stomach of the chicken.

When Camille saw this, her face was flushed white.

She backed away, extremely disgusted and scared of peanuts.

“Eveline, you’re so devious. Carter had explicitly told you that I can’t touch peanuts, yet you put so much of them in the soup. You even hid them so secretively. You’re obviously trying to kill me!”

When Carter saw this, his expression became cold.

“You’re so careless.” His tone was filled with blame and dissatisfaction.

“This is not carelessness, she did this on purpose! She must be harboring hard feelings for Camille because she lectured her last time. How evil!” Ada’s mother did not miss out on any chance to add fuel to fire.

Ada was very satisfied now. Even though Camille had not drunk the soup, this development was even better than what she expected.

Madeline still remained unperturbed when these people suspected her, went against her, and even berated her. She walked to the dining table and picked up the spoon to stir the soup.

“Impossible. How can there be peanuts here?” Madeline showed a curious expression. “I really didn’t put any inside.”

Ada quietly lifted the corners of her lips when she saw Madeline’s innocent and confused face.

“If it wasn’t you, who put them in then? You were the one who made the soup!” Ada’s mother said confidently.

Camille glared at Madeline with extreme dissatisfaction. “Get rid of this right now, and you, get out here now! I don’t want to see you again!”

She said and looked at Carter.

“Carter, if you think this woman is more important than me, I’ll leave right now.”

After Camille said that, she pretended to leave, but Carter stopped her.

“You don’t have to.”

He stopped Camille, and his cold gaze landed on Madeline’s face.

“Do you have an explanation for this?” he asked. It was evident that he was sure that Madeline was deliberately pranking Camille, just like what the rest of the people in the room thought.

Madeline was still magnanimous. “I don’t have to explain anything. I didn’t put the peanuts in there.”

“You’re still saying that it wasn’t you? If it wasn’t you, did the peanuts go into the soup themselves?”

Ada’s mother walked in front of Madeline. “You’re obviously mad that Camille lectured you before, so you’re trying to seek revenge!”

Madeline lifted her eyebrow. “I think you and your daughter are the ones who keep targeting me. Even if I wanted to seek revenge, I’d start from the two of you.”

“…”

“…”

Ada and her mother were dazed when they heard that.

Madeline turned around calmly and stirred the soup again.

“At the end of the day, I didn’t do this. I don’t know who wants to use my name to harm you. I can leave, but I won’t allow myself to suffer injustice in silence.”

She said and stopped her movement. Then, she picked up the spoon.

“Huh? What’s this? Why is this thing in the pot?”
