After Jeremy heard what virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net shock, virtual-novel.net felt nervous.
Before virtual-novel.net could get roped into this, virtual-novel.net decided to gain the initiative by striking first. Hence, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net expectations. Then, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net shrieked, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net violently.
She screamed and jumped up in pain.
When virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net noticed that it was Jeremy who whipped virtual-novel.net just now.
“J-Jeremy? Did you just whip me?” Yvonne stared at virtual-novel.net tearfully while feeling shocked.
Jeremy’s face was dark, and his tone was icy when virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net wrists. Then, they took virtual-novel.net away.
After Yvonne registered what was going on, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net abused Grandpa with the excuse of sleepwalking? Do you think it can smooth out how virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net would infuriate Jeremy if virtual-novel.net said something. If that was the case, there would be even worse consequences.
Yvonne was bawling when virtual-novel.net was brought away by the police. She kept repeating that virtual-novel.net was innocent.
Winston looked at the video of Yvonne abusing the old master again, his eyebrows knitting together tightly.
Then, when virtual-novel.net turned around to see Madeline, virtual-novel.net averted his gaze in guilt. He left without even apologizing to her.
It was evident that Karen would not apologize, so virtual-novel.net just walked upstairs with a sour face.
Madeline looked at the two of them and there was a sarcastic smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Linnie, I’m sorry that you had to suffer the grievance again.” Jeremy’s deep voice glided into virtual-novel.net ears.
Madeline shifted virtual-novel.net alluring eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net looked into Jeremy’s that were filled with apology and pity.
“The person who has suffered the most should be Grandpa.”
