Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1544

Chapter 1544

Julie lowered her head.

It seemed like everything Madam Stockton said had hit the mark. She seemed deeply ashamed of her actions.

What Madam Stockton could not see was the evil scowl on Julie’s lips. Despite how things had turned out, she was relieved.

She turned to Madam Stockton and said, “I’m very sorry.”

“It’s alright, you’re only trying to look out for yourself. You shouldn’t have tried to use me. Don’t forget that we’re on the same side. It upsets me to think that you’d try to weaponize me against Sherry.”

Julie was still very remorseful. “I’m very sorry. Even though I’m not a Stockton, I have lived with the family for long enough that I consider myself as part of the family. I see you as my mother and I see Queenie as my sister as well, which is why ever since Sherry arrived, I’ve noticed that Queenie hasn’t been spending as much time with me. I got paranoid and became worried that you’d also…”

She got choked up at this time and seemed on the verge of crying.

It pained Madam Stockton to see her like this. She quickly comforted her, “It’s alright, Julie. I understand, I truly understand how you’re feeling. Queenie is a child and doesn’t know better at times, but I’m nothing like that. I’m on your side.”

Julie’s eyes were bulging with red as she sobbed and apologized, “I made a mistake, please forgive me. I won’t ever do it again.”

“I’m happy you apologized, I won’t hold it against you.” Although Madam Stockton was rather upset when she realized Julie’s ploys, she decided it was not right to hold it against her. Julie had been widowed for so many years with the family and had displayed nothing but loyalty, so she deserved to be forgiven.

She observed how Julie still seemed devastated and quickly told her, “Go on, go back to your room and get some rest. Stop worrying about it, remember everything that I’ve told you.”

“Alright, I’m going,” Julie answered obediently, then she walked toward her room.

As soon as she turned her back on Madam Stockton, she scowled viciously. All of that guilt and shame was nothing but a facade the entire time as she had taken off

the mask and revealed the repulsion underneath.

When did the damn old hag see through her lies?!

Fortunately, her true goal was not discovered just yet. So long as she remained with the family, so long as the stupid old hag still trusted her, she still had a chance. She was going to boot that vile and despicable Sherry out of the house and away from John!

She took a deep breath with these spiteful ideas in her mind and hurried back to her

room.

Downtown Glanchester.

Sherry finished her work at roughly three p.m.

She sent John a message to check if he was done with his work.

There was no reply even after some time had passed.

He was probably in a meeting or something along those lines.

She decided to head to the Stockton Tower herself.
