Chapter 476: What do I an to you? (6)
However, Madeleine seed unaffected. After saying her piece, she gently shook her head, correcting, “Oh, it’s not that I slept with Howard. It’s that he thought I was his true love and slept with .”
When she said this, Madeleine even laughed lightly, as if telling soone else’s story. She teasingly reiterated to Ruby Gregory, “I’m just a substitute.”
Although Madeleine was laughing, Ruby thought it sounded more like crying. Even though she and Madeleine weren’t biological sisters, they were close like sisters. Without any hesitation, Ruby took Madeleine’s side and said, “Even so, Howard cannot just hit soone.”
“Hitting ? What would be the point of Howard hitting ? He wishes he could kill ,” Madeleine said, her smile even more radiant than Ruby’s anger. She paused for a while before murmuring, “Ruby, there’s no way I’d let Howard sleep with for no reason. That night, he was drunk and mistaken about who I was, but I wasn’t mistaken about who he was. I deliberately had the driver take him and his little true love with . I even had them sent to my ho. However, I put his little true love in the guest bedroom and Howard in the master bedroom with . That night, Howard and his true love both slept really well. When they woke up the next day, I gave them a big gift. Guess what?”
At this point, Madeleine chuckled and continued, “I showed the video of Howard and sleeping together to his little true love. I also called his parents and told them that Howard had slept with . Without any hesitation, Uncle Coleman proposed marriage to my father on Howard’s behalf. I also brought up Howard’s little true love to Uncle Coleman. And that very day, Howard’s true love was given a sum of money and sent abroad.”
“Even if Howard truly likes his little true love, he has no choice now. It’s his parents’ command and arranged by the matchmaker. Besides, our families have been friends for generations, so nobody will take Howard’s side. They’ll only force him to marry ,” Madeleine said.
“Howard resents that I bullied his true love and set him up. So he got mad and slapped hard…” Madeleine then demonstrated a slapping gesture while shaking her head regretfully, “But it’s such a pity. Originally, Howard and I were planning to get our marriage license this Monday, but my face hasn’t healed, and it looks terrible in photos. So we have to delay it…”
Madeleine’s performance was so relaxed and effortless, but Ruby noticed the tears filling Madeleine’s eyes. Unable to hold back, Ruby interrupted, “Madeleine, don’t say anymore.”
“Ruby, let talk. You don’t know, Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, and my brother – they’re all n. Although they treat well, they don’t understand . I can only talk about these things with you. If I don’t, I’ll suffocate. It’s unbearable…” Madeleine’s tears suddenly started to fall as she said, “Ruby, I had no choice. All these years, he just couldn’t fall for . But I really like him. I have no choice but to do this. You don’t know how I truly don’t want to force him.”
