Sammuel answered, “I went to investigate Madelyn, who was a famous social butterfly when she was young. She loved vanity and she was a typical mean girl. Back then, she mistook the Clark family’s driver for a rich man and lived with him. She then gave birth to a girl after he died. The Clark family takes good care of his daughter due to goodwill and Madelyn took a lot of money from them. She didn’t get married over the years. Instead, she had been spending the Clark family’s money to hook up with random men and completely ignored her daughter, Azalea.”
“This… how can someone disregard their own daughter?” Fandrey frowned after hearing Sammuel’s words. “She and Emily actually share the same traits because Emily doesn’t like Angel as well. They are indeed sisters.”
Sammuel explained, “They are not biological sisters. By the way, Madelyn has never been very kind to her daughter, Azalea. Her relationship with Emily is not very good either, but Emily is close to Azalea.”
“That’s weird. As far as I know, Emily didn’t want to recognize Angel as her daughter. She only softened her heart recently. She has no feelings for her daughter, and her relationship with Madelyn isn’t close as well. How could she be so concerned about Madelyn’s daughter?”
“That’s very strange. Perhaps Emily still holds a grudge about the fact that Angel was taken away when she was born. Maybe she treats Azalea as a replacement since she’s about the same age as Angel? Emily strange behaviour can’t be explained, but Madelyn is definitely detestable. Her horrible personality can be seen through how she neglected her daughter.”
Sammuel took a deep breath and said, “However, I’ve noticed that she has always treated Miss very well. She didn’t have any complaints even when Miss bullied her. This is too strange. I can’t find any useful information at the moment, so I have to keep an eye on it for a while.”
“How can she not like her own daughter, but she can treat another woman’s child as her own? What is Emily and Madelyn up to?”
Fandrey stroked his beard as he was deep in thought.
Azalea did not complete the task of plotting with Angel to gain Emily’s favour. Besides, the truth behind why Azalea was beaten was exposed as well, so she had no choice but to lie in bed.
Emily was sitting alone in the living room and she felt extremely depressed.
Although she knew that Azalea deserved the beating, the younger girl was still her child after all and her heart ached for Azalea.
Emily couldn’t ignore Azalea and sighed in her heart. Then, she got up and left the apartment to buy some ingredients to make soup for Azalea.
Just as she got into her car, she received a text message sent by the insurance company. The content was about the compensation for the accident between her and Arthur.
Emily’s insurance package was not enough to compensate for the repair costs for Gavin’s car, so she needed to pay nearly 160 thousand dollars.
Emily immediately called Arthur when she saw this message. “Hello, Mr. Saunders, I just received a message from the insurance company. When do you want to discuss the compensation?”
Arthur had just received a message and was about to tell Gavin about it. Then, he went to ask his father after he answered Emily’s call.
Gavin had already forgotten about this matter. When he heard about this, he remembered Emily, who looked like his late wife. He then told Arthur, “We can meet her later.”
Arthur and Emily agreed to meet at the appointed time, so she had no time to give Azalea soup because she had to deal with this matter first.
Emily rushed to the tea room to meet Gavin. After she waited in the room for more than ten minutes, Gavin and Arthur finally arrived.
Emily stood up and greeted them politely. As Gavin sat down, his gaze lingered on Emily’s face for a moment as he remembered his late wife. He asked kindly, “Did you come here especially for the issue with the insurance?”
“No, I’m here to see a relative. I just remembered something when I received the message.” Emily was a little embarrassed. “Mr. Saunders, I want to discuss the compensation with you. I can’t afford 160 thousand dollars at once. I’ll give you half of it first and the remaining sum will be given to you after two months.”
Mr. Saunders took a sip of tea and said, “It’s okay. Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need to compensate me?”
“That won’t do. This is my fault, so I have to pay for it.”
Emily was very stubborn. When Gavin saw her expression, he knew that she was not joking. Since she insisted on giving him money, Gavin couldn’t do anything but give in to her. “Okay, you can take your time to transfer the money.”
Emily said with a grateful look, “Thank you! Give me your bank account number and I will transfer the money to you!”
Gavin did not remember his account number, so he said, “You can transfer it through my PayPal.”
Emily would definitely agree to do that, so she transferred the money through several transactions to his PayPal account.
After the money was transferred, Gavin and Emily chit-chatted for a while before they left.
After Gavin got into the car, he watched Emily leave and sighed to Arthur, “I think of Archer’s mother when I see her and I feel a little distressed.”
“Ms. Poland is a good person. She looks kind and she abides by her own principles. If an ordinary person encountered such a situation and heard that they wouldn’t need to pay the compensation, they would definitely accept it. But she is different and she never wanted to run away from her responsibilities. Someone like her is hard to come by.”
“Yes, I think the same way as well. But we can’t rule out the possibility that she deliberately disguised herself. After all, a lot of people like her have ulterior motives as well. Well, you should pay attention to her matters. If you find out that she’s genuine, you can help her in any way you see fit.”
Arthur immediately agreed and said, “I’m going to investigate her matter and see if she’s being genuine.”
Abbie was relieved after she hit Azalea and happily went to have afternoon tea with Valeria.
Then, Abbie took Valeria to the karaoke bar after they had tea in the Wolf Group.
Abbie felt as though she was going crazy after she suppressed her feelings for so long. After she entered the private room, she began to scream out the lyrics until her voice was hoarse.
Richard even thought that he was in the wrong place when he walked to the door of the room and heard a hoarse voice from inside.
After he pushed the door open, he saw Valeria leisurely playing games on her mobile phone while Abbie was holding the microphone and screaming at the screen.
