Chapter 1561
Feeling Madeline’s gaze on her, Ada was startled and had a guilty conscience.
She immediately looked away in a panic and glanced at her mother who was next to her.
Ada’s mother understood instantly and immediately targeted Madeline, saying, “Eveline, you were the one who prepared the dinner. Do you want to shirk responsibility now? Do you know what the consequences will be if Camille had drunk this bowl of soup?”
Madeline met Ada’s questioning eyes magnanimously. “I don’t know what the consequences will be, but you two should be very clear about that.”
“…” Ada’s mother flushed.
“Miss Montgomery, what do you mean by that?” Ada asked, pretending to be wronged and confused.
Madeline smiled slightly. “What do I mean? You two should know very well in your hearts.”
“You… Eveline, just spit it out!” Ada’s mother had an angry expression on her face. “Camille, look at this woman. How can she be so shameless? It’s fine that she has made a mistake and doesn’t want to admit it, but she’s even going as far as to shift the responsibility to me and Ada. W-What kind of person this is?”
“Yeah, Camille, how can you let such a woman enter the doors of the Louis family?”
“Yeah, you can’t let her in.”
“Carter, you saw it too. This woman is so defiant!”
The aunts condemned Madeline one after another. Ada and her mother felt relieved while watching this.
Camille’s expression looked even worse now. “Carty, you should consider this properly. I will not let this kind of woman into the Louis family and that’s that. She made such a huge mistake but only wants to shift the blame to someone else. A person with such an attitude has no right to be your wife!”
Madeline was not bothered by Camille’s criticism and disdain, but she was not the Madeline who would suffer in silence anymore.
She kept feeling as if Madeline had seen through her, and she started to feel anxious.
When Ada wanted to retort, she saw something fall from Madeline’s hand suddenly. Then, Madeline bent down and picked it up next to her foot.
“Carter, do you want her to stay, or do you want me to stay? Think properly! If you want to defend this woman, I’ll leave right now!” Camille suddenly gave Carter such a difficult question.
Carter furrowed his brows. However, it seemed that he was leaning more toward Camille. As such, he asked Madeline, “Who was with you when you made the soup?”
Madeline could sense Carter’s distrust toward her from this question. However, Madeline answered frankly, “It was just me.’
“Then it’s your problem!” Ada’s mother could not wait to convict Madeline of this crime. Then, she ordered the maid nearby, “Go to the kitchen and bring all of the soup out.”
The maid did just that and took out all of the chicken soup inside the pot to put it on the table.
