Chapter 307 Mary’s Confusion
Did Noelle put some kind of spell on them?
And they said I’d regret it!
Regret what, exactly?!
A mother fights for her child. Whoever hurts her precious girl, she’ll make them pay!
Mary clenched her teeth and said to the bodyguard, “Let’s go. Go inside. I have to see Noelle today!”

She stormed to the entrance of the gated community and showed her identity. The security guard hesitated, but because of the Guzmans‘ name, he let her in.
Mary walked all the way to the house at the very back.
She had just reached the tall iron gate and was about to press the doorbell when the front door suddenly opened.
A figure she knew better than anyone stepped out, leaning on a cane, supported by the butler.
It was Angus!
Mary froze on the spot, like she had been struck by lightning. Her mind went completely blank.
Dad… Why is Dad here?!
Why is he coming out of Noelle’s house?!
Could it be… even Dad had been fooled by that girl?
Mary was stunned. Seeing her three brothers earlier had already felt unreal. Now even Angus was here.
It felt like the whole world had turned upside down.
Angus also saw Mary standing outside. He stopped walking, and his face darkened at once.
“Why are you here?” His voice was calm, but full of authority.
“Dad, I–I came to…” Mary felt scared under his sharp look and couldn’t finish her sentence.
“Here to find Noelle?” Angus said it for her. His voice was harsher than ever. “Mary, how long are you going to stay this foolish?!”
Mary froze when he shouted at her. Then hurt and anger rushed up inside her. “Dad! How am I being foolish? Noelle bullied Charlotte! She hurt her so badly! As her mother, don’t I have the right to come and demand an explanation?!”
“Demand an explanation?” Angus let out a cold laugh. He looked at his daughter, blind to the truth and still desperately protecting a fake child. He felt both tired and angry. “Do you even know who you hit today? Do you know what that Viola, the girl you protect so much, really is?!”
“Dad! What are you saying? Viola is my daughter! How can you talk about her like that?” Mary shouted.
“Your daughter?”

Chapter 307 Mary’s Confusion
Pain and disappointment filled Angus’s eyes. He took a deep breath, like he wanted to say more. But he glanced around and forces himself to stop.
He couldn’t let the truth come out like this. Not this way.
“Go home,” Angus said, waving his hand tiredly. His voice was firm and final. “Until everything is clear, don’t come here again. And do not cause trouble for Noelle. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless as your father!”
After that, he didn’t look at Mary again. With the butler’s help, he turned and walked toward the car waiting nearby.
Mary stood there, staring at her father’s firm, retreating back. Her mind was filled with questions.
What is really happening?
Why is Dad–and even my brothers–acting so strangely?
Could Noelle be some kind of witch, able to deceive Dad and my brothers?
She couldn’t figure it out. But she was still afraid of making Angus angry. In the end, she didn’t go after Noelle again. Holding in her anger and confusion, she went back to the Guzman Residence, looking defeated and tired.
Meanwhile, inside the house, Gus smiled and reported, “Mrs. Mary came earlier. She ran into Mr. Angus at the gate. They spoke briefly, and then she left.”
Lucas was slumped on the couch, chewing on an apple. When he heard that, he took a loud crunch and rolled his eyes. He said, “Lucky she ran fast! Otherwise, I would’ve taught her why punches hurt, and how interest on a slap adds up!”
Noelle sat cross–legged on the carpet nearby, reading medical papers on her tablet. She didn’t even look up, like she hadn’t heard a thing.
Sebastian poured her a glass of water and set it beside her. His voice was calm. “She’s this anxious mostly because of Viola.”
Noelle smiled slightly. “Then let her stay anxious. As for Viola, I’ve already planned it. I’ll keep her inside until the day before the homecoming party. If she comes out too early, the show won’t be fun anymore.”
Lucas laughed and gave Noelle a thumbs–up. “Noelle! I really like your style!”
