Chapter 164 I Can’t Let That Happen!
“Miss Fox came over just now, Mr. Fox,” Gael reported. “She took all of Madam’s things.”
Stanley frowned. “Where to?”
“Miss Fox said Madam will be staying at Repulse Bay to treat her.” Gael then expressed his doubts, “But it doesn’t make sense that she took everything. She didn’t leave any of the clothing behind. There’s no longer… any trace of Madam left in this house.”
Stanley pursed his lips. “How was my mother’s mood?”
“It felt the same as usual but also a little different.” Gael couldn’t quite figure it out either. “She praised Madam for being an excellent doctor and seemed to sound a little grateful, too.”
Stanley’s eyes grew thoughtful. “Got it.” With that, he ended the call.
Monica hung around nearby, ostensibly enjoying the scenery when she was spying on Stanley in reality. She saw him make another call.
The man knew that his mother hated being tricked the most. Now that she discovered who Chloe Blackwood was, he wasn’t sure how she would react.
Moments later, Jennifer’s voice rang out through the speaker. “Stan,” she greeted calmly.
“I heard you moved all of Melinda’s things to Repulse Bay,” he fired off with an icy look in his eyes.
Monica frowned upon hearing his words. Repulse Bay? Who else besides Miss Fox would have the right to make that decision? Her heart started sinking.
“That’s right. You married such a fine young woman. Why didn’t you inform me of her identity beforehand?” Jennifer was a master in pretense. She was able to ask with a smile, “Why would she need to put on a mask to treat me? If she manages to treat me, I might even accept her into the family out of gratitude. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Stanley didn’t expect his mother to take this attitude.
“I moved everything over for her convenience,” she continued. “She doesn’t have to make the trip every day now. She can stay here and focus on researching a cure for me.”
“That’s good.” The man exhaled in relief. “I never thought you would take such a liking to her. I’m sure you must’ve gotten along extremely well with her over the past few days.”
Monica slowly turned around and left, her heart crumbling to pieces.
She couldn’t help but recall the memory of seeing Jennifer walking out of Emerald Harbor hand in hand with the children. What a warm scene it had been.novelxo.com fast update
What’s the truth? Did Miss Fox mean anything she said? Has she accepted Melinda? Have they been getting along well? Melinda’s able to treat Miss Fox, which is why Miss Fox is starting to favor her….No! I can’t allow that!
Monica came to an abrupt halt. She was panicking hard. I can’t let Melinda treat Miss Fox!
She couldn’t bring herself to imagine what would happen once Melinda managed to cure Jennifer’s
condition!
The worst-case scenario would be that Melinda’s position as Mrs. For can’t be challenged anymore.
Monica couldn’t accept that. Stanley was like oxygen to her. She couldn’t go without him!
5 Bonus
From the day she accepted financial aid from the Foxes, she made up her mind to idolize Stanley. All the sleepless nights she had spent studying or working, she had been doing it for him!
She wanted to become an accomplished woman so she could be worthy enough to marry the extremely accomplished Stanley and spend the rest of her life with him. That was her driving force in life.
Off in the distance, the horseback riding session was coming to an end. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The castle estate was being set up for a dinner event, and the staff got busy with the preparations.
Edward’s youngest daughter Alice adored pink, so the place was decorated with pink balloons that bobbed in the air. There was also a large backdrop made out of pink flower petals.
There was a large poster featuring a girl in a pink dress. She looked like a princess who was smiling brightly.
“It’s been a while since I last saw Miss Alice. When was this photo taken?”
“Miss Alice is all grown up now. She looks like a lovely young woman.”
The girl in the poster was so beautiful that those who passed by had to stop and take a second look. This pretty young woman was going to be present tonight.
Monica looked around and inadvertently caught sight of the reporters gathering nearby.
They were taking pictures of the dinner event. They hadn’t spotted Stanley yet, or they would’ve been busy taking photos of him. They might even ask to interview him.
“Daddy!”
Monica heard the voice and looked over. She saw Samuel and Pamela getting off their horses and scampering over to an attractive man.
The children’s cries caught the reporters’ attention.
Monica was an extremely adaptable woman. She put on a smile as she swiftly walked over to Stanley, and she didn’t forget to procure two bottles of water from the staff.
As long as I join them, the photos will make it seem like we’re a family of four! This is Mr. Edward’s daughter’s birthday celebration. It’s going to be front-page news!
