Chapter 177
The noise echoed in the room and Madison's face turned pale immediately.
"Madison, I've turned a blind eye to all the outrageous things you've done over the years. Yes, the Godfrey family has wronged you, but there are some things that can be done and some that can't. Do you understand?"
Helen's anger was through the roof. No one had seen her so angry in decades.
No one knew better than Madison that what really made Helen so angry was not the commotion that day, but the kidnapping case.
"Mother, the kidnapping case was really an accident. I didn't really want..."
"Grandma," an indifferent voice came from the door, interrupting Madison's explanation.
Helen looked up and saw Theodore enter. The anger in her face was restrained a little, but there was still some impatience left behind. "Theodore, you came just in time." "Find a time to go to Yvonne's place tomorrow and apologize to her on behalf of your mother."
"What? Apologize?" Madison's expression changed immediately. "Why should he apologize?"
"Shut up." Helen glanced at her coldly. "You've done such a shameful thing and your son is going to clean up the mess for you. What else do you have to say?"
Madison gritted her teeth and was filled with complaints, but she did not dare to speak.
"Take this with you when you go there," said Helen as she handed Theodore a white envelope.
Theodore took out the thing inside; it was a thin check. He didn't even look at the amount before putting it back with a straight face. He said in a low voice, "Okay, Grandma. I'll take care of it."
Helen nodded and said, "By the way, your mother will move out of Yoreast Hills Garden from tomorrow onwards and live in Peaceful Villa for self-cultivation."
"Mother!" As soon as Madison heard that she was going to move out of Yoreast Hills Garden, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe what she heard.
Helen didn't even look at her. She stood up and said, "You don't have to say anything more. Peaceful Villa is near the church of Swallow Hill, and it's quiet. This matter is settled."
With this sentence, Helen left the ward directly. When she left, she still looked angry and didn't even give Madison a chance to refute.
Slam! The door of the ward was closed from the outside, and the room fell into a dead silence.
Madison looked at Theodore who was standing at the end of the bed, and her blood was boiling. She picked up the pillow and threw it at him.
Theodore didn't even make a single move as the white pillow brushed past his knee. When it landed on the ground, it emitted a 'thud' sound, raising a small amount of dust into the air.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you hear what your grandmother just said? Why didn't you say anything?"
A sharp female voice fell on his eardrum. Madison was the dignified Mrs. Godfrey in public, but privately, she was shouting at him with a voice as hoarse as a shrew.
Theodore's expression didn't change at all. His gaze was cold, as if he was looking at a stranger. "No one can ever change Grandma's decision."
"Others obviously can't, but you're the heir of the Godfrey family! She raised you since you were young!"
"Is this why you sent me to Grandma when I was a child?"
Whether it was sending him to Helen, or bringing him back later, the so-called family love was nothing more than a tool for Madison to consolidate her position in the Godfrey family.
"So what? Isn't it for your future that I've done all these? Look at you now. The entire Godfrey family belongs to you, and you have Madam Scott, who has the most say in the family, backing you!"
Theodore looked at his own mother indifferently. There wasn't a single trace of intimacy or affection in his eyes; there was only coldness. He had long since grown tired of these high-sounding words.
"Are you done talking?" The four indifferent words echoed through the room.
Madison's expression froze.
Theodore said, "Withdraw all those people whom you sent to keep watch over Everleigh."
His tone was firm.
"If you don't withdraw them, I will follow your tactics and get people to keep an eye on
Haward from today onwards."
Hearing this, Madison's face turned blue immediately. She raised her voice and said, "Are you crazy? Haward is Stainley's only son and your cousin!"
The Allen family had only one child in the latest generations, and her brother couldn't get a child for many years. In order to get some results for the Allen family, she even sent her younger sister's son, Leon, to the Allen family for luck. She didn't know if this method worked or not, but in the end, Haward finally came to the Allen family after a few years.
Haward's importance to the Allen family was self-evident, and Madison was a person who was very protective of her family. If Haward was hurt, it was equivalent to hurting her life.
Theodore turned a blind eye to Madison's anger and said coldly, "The things that the people you sent to Everleigh did, the people I send to Haward would do ten times more."
Madison's face turned pale. She did not believe that her son would say something like this. "You're determined to be with that woman? Don't forget that she's married!"
"That's my business. You don't have to worry about it."
Before he left, Theodore picked up the pillow from the floor. He casually patted it and placed it at the end of the bed. In the end, he said, "She's my bottom line."
Just as Theodore came out of the room, a loud "clang" could be heard coming from the ward behind him. The sound of porcelain shattering was especially clear, followed by the sound of all sorts of things breaking. It made one's heart skip a beat.
"Mr. Theodore, what is Madam..."
Theodore didn't even spare the butler a glance. He strode away with a cold expression on his face.
In the corner of the emergency ward, a figure in black stood in a secluded position under the shadow of some plants. He took a picture of Theodore's departure and sent it off with his phone.
At this time, in the director's office, Everleigh absent- mindedly looked at the medical records handed in by the students.
As the cell phone rang, she came back to her senses immediately. She was stunned when she saw the caller ID.
After hesitating for a while, she pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Yvonne."
The call was from Yvonne.
When Theodore forcefully took her away from the police station, Yvonne's statement hadn't been completed yet.
"Have you finished your business over there?"
"I'm kind of finished. I'm going to the school to pick up Hansen now. With the Godfrey family's consistent meddling, the police didn't even record the name of the person involved." Yvonne's tone was mixed with self-mockery. "The man named Moses is Theodore's assistant, isn't he? He does things really quickly."
Everleigh didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Yvonne, there are some things that I haven't told you. That's why today's misunderstanding happened. I'm sorry."
"What's there for you to apologize for? Everyone has secrets." Yvonne's tone was relaxed. "Are you free tomorrow? Let's meet up in the afternoon. I have something to ask you."
Everleigh's heart jolted and she clenched the cell phone. She could vaguely guess why Yvonne asked her out.
"I probably have time."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'll send you the address later." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Everleigh was lost in thought for a long time.
Perhaps Yvonne had guessed that the truth behind the kidnapping case had something to do with her.
