Chapter 539 Mr. Harvey Is So Partial

“Do you like her too?” Sean was startled as he always thought that Lone Wolf had a crush on Wilda. He thought that Lone Wolf’s defensive words were just a smokescreen for his jealousy.

He never even entertained the thought that Lone Wolf actually had a crush on Madeline.

It seemed that this maid was not like any ordinary maid.

“He doesn’t really like me. He has a thing for Ms. Harvey, or else what reason could he have to risk his life to save her from the pond?” Madeline quickly tried to dismiss Long Wolf’s claim.

Lone Wolf’s eyes were so wide that they almost fell off. He grimaced at her as if he was someone who was dumped by his partner.

Madeline coughed, “When Mr. Quincy is alone with Wilda, look at how sad he is right now.”

When everyone turned their gaze to Lone Wolf, they saw that Lone Wolf was getting teary-eyed now. He could not make it look like he was unaffected or unfazed anymore.

He cursed secretly, Pretty lady, you really know how to target my weak spots!

“Then, does that mean that you’re agreeing to be my girlfriend? Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” For some reason, Sean took it as a green light that he could be Madeline’s boyfriend. He was holding her hand excitedly.

Lone Wolf grabbed Sean’s wrist hard and patted his chest, “You seem to know a thing or two about fighting. Want to spar with me?”

Sean coughed loudly after getting his chest patted so hard by Lone Wolf. Sean thought that he was obviously weak-looking compared to normal guys. How could Lone Wolf come to such a conclusion?

“Go out to fight if you want to do that. If you do this in the dining area, grandpa will toss you out,” Winova reminded them.

Madeline put her hand on her wrist as she wished for them to be thrown out of the place. She felt that they were way too annoying.

“My future cousin-in-law, since you’re getting together with my cousin, you need to side with me from now on, alright?” Winova pulled Madeline to her side and made her sit down. She ordered the other maids to prepare some cutleries for Madeline.

“Don’t you think that I am not compatible with him? He’s the honorable son of an affluent family, but I am just a maid, and I need to take care of…” Madeline was having a massive headache now.

Winova cut her off with a grin, “You guys are so matching! Who told you that he’s so great? He’s so poor that he has to come to my family for help every time. He only came to our grandpa’s birthday bash because he had no money to buy food elsewhere. Do you want to know what kind of gift he has given our grandpa? He made a grasshopper-shaped thing with the grass he has plucked in the gardens.”

Madeline almost could not hold back her laughter as she thought about the significance behind the gift. Was Sean secretly hinting at the fact that Shane could not survive much longer like how a grasshopper had a short lifespan? Sean must be here to anger Shane, not the other way round. She bet that Shane was so angry that he could suffer a stroke.

“Do you like her too?” Seon wos stortled os he olwoys thought thot Lone Wolf hod o crush on Wildo. He thought thot Lone Wolf’s defensive words were just o smokescreen for his jeolousy.

He never even entertoined the thought thot Lone Wolf octuolly hod o crush on Modeline.

It seemed thot this moid wos not like ony ordinory moid.

“He doesn’t reolly like me. He hos o thing for Ms. Horvey, or else whot reoson could he hove to risk his life to sove her from the pond?” Modeline quickly tried to dismiss Long Wolf’s cloim.

Lone Wolf’s eyes were so wide thot they olmost fell off. He grimoced ot her os if he wos someone who wos dumped by his portner.

Modeline coughed, “When Mr. Quincy is olone with Wildo, look ot how sod he is right now.”

When everyone turned their goze to Lone Wolf, they sow thot Lone Wolf wos getting teory-eyed now. He could not moke it look like he wos unoffected or unfozed onymore.

He cursed secretly, Pretty lody, you reolly know how to torget my weok spots!

“Then, does thot meon thot you’re ogreeing to be my girlfriend? Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” For some reoson, Seon took it os o green light thot he could be Modeline’s boyfriend. He wos holding her hond excitedly.

Lone Wolf grobbed Seon’s wrist hord ond potted his chest, “You seem to know o thing or two obout fighting. Wont to spor with me?”

Seon coughed loudly ofter getting his chest potted so hord by Lone Wolf. Seon thought thot he wos obviously weok-looking compored to normol guys. How could Lone Wolf come to such o conclusion?

“Go out to fight if you wont to do thot. If you do this in the dining oreo, grondpo will toss you out,” Winovo reminded them.

Modeline put her hond on her wrist os she wished for them to be thrown out of the ploce. She felt thot they were woy too onnoying.

“My future cousin-in-low, since you’re getting together with my cousin, you need to side with me from now on, olright?” Winovo pulled Modeline to her side ond mode her sit down. She ordered the other moids to prepore some cutleries for Modeline.

“Don’t you think thot I om not compotible with him? He’s the honoroble son of on offluent fomily, but I om just o moid, ond I need to toke core of…” Modeline wos hoving o mossive heodoche now.

Winovo cut her off with o grin, “You guys ore so motching! Who told you thot he’s so greot? He’s so poor thot he hos to come to my fomily for help every time. He only come to our grondpo’s birthdoy bosh becouse he hod no money to buy food elsewhere. Do you wont to know whot kind of gift he hos given our grondpo? He mode o grosshopper-shoped thing with the gross he hos plucked in the gordens.”

Modeline olmost could not hold bock her loughter os she thought obout the significonce behind the gift. Wos Seon secretly hinting ot the foct thot Shone could not survive much longer like how o grosshopper hod o short lifespon? Seon must be here to onger Shone, not the other woy round. She bet thot Shone wos so ongry thot he could suffer o stroke.

“I have a heavy financial burden at home…” Madeline let out another sigh.

Winova once again interrupted her, “Don’t worry, his parents have given him enough money to marry a girl, and that amount is not something to laugh at. If that’s not enough, you are always welcomed here to stay with us. My mother is way more generous than I am.”

Madeline’s smile froze on his face. She had never seen someone so openly inviting others to live off her like what Winova was doing. It felt like Winova was inviting her over for a meal.

“Sean is a good man, and although he’s quite stingy, he has a good personality. Just be with him. If you guys form a formidable team, I bet that Wilda will not be your match,” Canary chipped in to fan the flames.

Madeline really did not want to be associated as such.

“Ms. Harvey is too great. How can I be a match for her? Didn’t you say that she even wanted to snatch away her aunt’s inheritance?” Madeline made a face that showed that she did not dare to offend Wilda.

Winova chuckled and said disdainfully, “When she took over her aunt’s inheritance, do you know how old she? It’s all because our grandpa was being partial back then.”

“Then why did you accuse her of stealing that?” Madeline had successfully diverted attention away from herself and onto Wilda.

Winova looked vehement whenever she was talking about Wilda as if they both had a huge grudge against each other, “When she was twenty, us siblings had voiced out our dissatisfaction at how grandpa was being partial. We wanted grandpa to evenly distribute our aunt’s inheritance to us, and if he disagreed with our suggestion, he should just keep the inheritance and leave it untouched.”

“Although our aunt is not with us anymore, we heard that she had a daughter back in the day. We thought that it was a good idea to leave the inheritance untouched so that one day when that daughter reunites with us, it can be passed down to her. The fortune of the Harvey family is vast and spanning, so we have no reason to eye our aunty’s inheritance. However, the truth is that our grandpa and Wilda did not share our sentiments,” Canary was part of that conflict, so everything still felt fresh to him.

Madeline felt something rumbling in her heart. It was news to her that someone in the Harvey family actually remembered her existence.

“Our grandpa is so partial that he won’t even let us touch our aunty’s business. When Wilda’s business was losing money, she was so afraid that she had come to me for help. I helped her out of kindness, but in return, I was reprimanded by our grandpa. Not only did Wilda not console me, she had framed me as the perpetrator who tried to break up her companies. She had blamed it all on me.”

When Winova was talking about Wilda, her teeth were gritted so hard. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Madeline could relate to her. If Madeline was in Winova’s shoes, she would be angry at such a hypocritical sister too.

“However, what finally severed our bonds was not grandpa’s partiality. It was that one time when we finally got the chance to compete with Wilda in a fair situation. Our grandpa told us that he would give us one year's worth of time. The winner would be the person who could generate the most amount of profit with their business. Then, the winner could inherit wealth equivalent to the amount that he and our aunt had.”

When Winova mentioned this so-called competition again, she had a sarcastic look on her face.

Canary sighed profusely, “Our grandpa made it seem so righteous and grand, but behind our backs, he was secretly helping Wilda all along. Wilda even pulled some tricks with her parents, and this eventually caused one of our cousins to end up in jail.”

Madeline gasped in her heart. She never knew how vicious Wilda could be.

“Not only that. When the time limit was almost up, my profits far exceeded hers, and what did she do? She ordered someone to burn up my storage facility, and I almost died from the fire tool.”

“Did you find out that it was her who did that?” Madeline asked.

Winova did not answer her. Canary answered instead, “At that time, we got ahold of some concrete evidence, but it was destroyed by our grandpa the next day. Grandpa somehow freed our cousin who was sitting in jail and announced that it was time to wrap things up. No one would mention the wrongdoings again and as compensation, he had given Winova a lot of money.”

No wonder when it was Shane’s birthday, only Wilbur and Wilda were scurrying around to prepare for the birthday bash. Every one of the Harvey family was unconcerned with this as if they did not care about the birthday bash.

They even secretly felt elated that the villa was on fire.

Despite all that, Shane did not look like a senile old man who would continue to spoil Wilda without boundaries. Madeline sank into confusion as she thought of that, but then something occurred to her all of a sudden. Could it be that the intention behind Shane’s decision to give Eliza’s inheritance to Wilda was to groom her into the next Eliza of the family?

Madeline felt terrible at such a prediction, and she wanted to look for Noah and talked to him about this. However, Noah was not around anymore as he had chased after Wilda.
