Chapter 339
“Mr. Timothy…” Dorothy wanted to say more, but the moment she met Irvin’s deadly cold gaze, her words caught in her throat. She didn’t know why, but even though Irvin was supposedly the fake heir raised in a lowly household outside, he sometimes exuded a presence even more terrifying and condescending than the real Timothy.
Just one glance from him was enough to silence her.
Irvin walked toward me. “How’s Grandma?” he asked.
I couldn’t bring myself to greet him warmly. After all, this chaos started because of him.
He seemed to read my thoughts and instinctively said, “I’m sorry, Emi.”
Then, he quickly added, “When I heard about Grandma, I rushed over with Professor John, a top expert in this field. Let’s have him take a look at her, okay?”
There was no way I could turn down something that might help Grandma. So, I led Professor John inside right away.
Irvin knew me far too well.
Even without seeing me, he could always guess exactly what I was thinking. He knew what he had to do to make me accept his offer.
But, as someone who understood me so well, he was also the one who thought I was wicked and ended up hurting me. Dorothy, on the other hand, genuinely loved Grace like a daughter. That love overpowered the fear she had.
She shouted at Irvin, furious, “Mr. Timothy, how could you? Ms. Grace is still recovering after her miscarriage, but that wench beat her up.
“And instead of punishing her, you brought some professor over for that old hag? You’re Ms. Grace’s husband! She hasn’t even fully healed yet!
“Do you even know how hard that bitch hit her and how much injuries she caused? No one has ever dared lay a hand on Ms. Grace! But that bitch hit her! Don’t you know how much she deserves to die? Ms. Grace just lost her baby… she’s still so weak…”
Tears streamed down Dorothy’s face as she spoke. Her heart ached for her precious Grace.
No one had ever dared scold Grace, let alone hit her. So, how dare I do so?
“Already plotting harm when she’s still in recovery? Then whatever happens to her is just karma, isn’t it?” he said.
He knew that if someone hurt Grandma, I’d go as far as killing them, let alone just hitting her.
No matter what, Grace should never have messed with Grandma. He actually thought she was lucky that I showed her mercy because she had just lost a child.
Dorothy’s eyes widened in shock. She never expected him to say something like that.
Once she came to her senses, she snapped, “Mr. Timothy, if you insist on protecting the bitch who seduced someone else’s husband, then I’ll call the police. The harm she did to Ms. Grace is enough to land her years in prison.”
As she spoke, she shot me a deadly glare, as if she wanted to rip me apart.
Just as she was about to say more, Irvin waved his hand, and two men stepped out from behind him. Without a word, they grabbed Dorothy and dragged her away.
