Chapter 56
However, Patricia didn’t appear surprised by her sister because Isaac had already visited her parentsat the Aniston Residence. Therefore, it seemed to Patricia that there was nothing wrong with hershowing up at Isaac’s house, considering the relationship between him and her. Without any interest inentertaining Adeline, she entered the kitchen with the ingredients in her hand and proceeded to putthem in the refrigerator. Nevertheless, Adeline wouldn’t stop following her like a duckling as shedemanded an answer from her. “Hey! I’m talking to you!”
Eventually, Patricia had enough of Adeline and grabbed a knife to which she pressed against thelatter’s throat. “Shut the hell up, unless you want to die!”
Feeling the sharp blade on her skin, Adeline blanched with her eyes wide open. “A-Are you out of yourmind? I’m Isaac’s fiancée. So, if I die, you’re going to jail, and your kids are going to be homeless forthat.”
“Don’t worry about me. Someone will take care of them on my behalf.” Patricia smiled eerily, scaringAdeline with just a flex of her arm as the latter screamed and fled the kitchen fearfully.
“Help! Help!” Adeline was so scared that she delusionally thought Patricia was going to kill her,considering the terrible things they did to her back then. As long as this madwoman is still breathing,she will hunt us down with a knife in her hand.
In the meantime, Elizabeth and a maid heard the cry and rushed to the source of the voice toinvestigate what had happened. “What’s wrong?” the older lady asked in surprise as she came downthe stairs seconds later. Bloody hell! What’s the screaming about?!
Adeline then quickly messed her hair to intentionally make herself look disheveled while crying andcomplaining. “This woman! She is trying to kill me with a knife!”
Soon, Patricia stepped out of the kitchen and glared at Adeline. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare to kill anybody.”
When Elizabeth saw Patricia, she smiled and said, “Tricia is a nice girl. What makes you think she willdo something so cold-blooded?” The old lady then walked up to Patricia and seized her hand, asking,“What brings you here, Patricia?” It was then that she was reminded of Adeline, whom Hendrickwanted Isaac to marry. Nevertheless, Adeline failed to win either Isaac’s or Elizabeth’s hearts. On theother hand, Patricia began to grow on the lady more and more because of her genuine and sincereattitude after getting along with her a few times.
Meanwhile, a darkened look flashed across Adeline’s face when she saw how close Elizabeth wasgetting to Patricia. Dang you, Patricia! You must have come to ruin my life with Isaac! While her eyeswere filled with an eerie indifference, a sinister thought crossed her mind. Patricia must die!
“I’m here to repay my debt.” Patricia reacted with a sweet smile. As ordinary as her words might havesounded, Elizabeth appeared to interpret them differently. She then glimpsed Patricia’s belly,suspecting that she could be pregnant with Isaac’s child. At that moment, her mood improved as therewas no other exciting news than welcoming her great-grandchild to the world.
Although Patricia was already a mother of three, Elizabeth was kind enough to accept her past,thinking she must have met a man who treated her badly back then, not to mention the high divorcerate that was getting common. For that, she believed Patricia would live a happy life if she was marriedto Isaac, having absolute confidence in her handsome and outstanding grandson. Patricia is going tobe the happiest woman in the world if she marries Isaac.
While Elizabeth seized Patricia’s hand and took her to the living room after telling the maid to preparethem some tea, Adeline was ignored and left behind, but instead of making the sensible choice ofwalking away, she decided that she should stay by Elizabeth’s side at the crucial moment. Therefore,she followed the ladies and sat down beside Elizabeth. “I must have misunderstood something backthere, Old Mrs. Arnold. I didn’t know you both knew each other.”
Elizabeth nodded her head in response to Adeline’s flattering attitude. “Yes, Patricia and I are friends.By the way, how did you ladies know each other? Are you both a part of the Anistons? You two havethe same last name.”
Adeline shot a cold gaze at Patricia and explained, “Oh, of course not. She is the daughter of a maidwho served my family, but since my grandfather liked her a lot, he decided to name her with the lastname of Aniston.”
