Love At The Wrong Table

Linda was overjoyed. She believed that no woman could outsmart her within this family.

She enjoyed the feeling of being favored.

Nevertheless, she suddenly shivered when she noticed that Althea’s eyes were staring at her.

“I saw it with my own eyes just now. You were the one who made Roselynn’s hand bleed. How can you pretend to be innocent?” Althea said.

“What? Well…”

Linda was perplexed as to why Althea changed her tune.

Roselynn was also surprised as she never expected Althea to tell the truth. It made her feel a bit uneasy.

“Roselynn, thank you for providing the prescription. I had someone prepare the medicine according to your instructions. After taking the medicine, I feel much better today.” Althea unexpectedly thanked Roselynn politely.

Although it was normal, it made Roselynn a bit at a loss. It took her a while before she said, “You’re welcome, Madam Althea. I’m glad you’re getting better.”

Then, Althea coldly stared at Linda.

“Linda, I should have taught you since you were young that lying is not right. Why do you keep lying over and over again?” Althea rebuked Linda. “You’re not the one who prepared the medicine. Why did you lie to me? You made me suffer for several days.”

“Aunt Althea, I…” Linda was at a loss for words. Althea’s sudden change in attitude didn’t give her any time to buffer.

What’s happening?

After a while, she blurted out, “Aunt Althea, didn’t you say you love me the most? Didn’t you say you recognized me as your daughter-in-law a long time ago? Even if I brewed poison, you would drink it, right?”

Her words slapped Althea in the face.

Roselynn almost burst into laughter.

Both Zaiden and Julian felt awkward for Althea. They had advised her not to dwell much on these fallacies as they would backfire.

Althea’s face turned red as she was enraged. “Linda, how can you take my love for you as an excuse to be unreasonable? Lying is indeed wrong. I’did drink the medicine you prepared, but it doesn’t make me feel better.” novelbin

Linda wanted to say something, but her mother stopped her.

Linda also understood that Althea had suddenly changed her attitude. She changed as if she were a scumbag who never admitted what he did.

Althea didn’t care what Linda was thinking. She told Roselynn, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for a meal before you leave?”

“Okay. Thank you, Madam Althea.” Roselynn nodded.

She was actually someone who liked to seek revenge, but she also had a broader perspective.

For whatever reason, Althea had started to accept her. It was a good start.

She didn’t want to disappoint Julian, so she chose not to continue quarreling with Althea. Otherwise, Julian would be in a dilemma.

She really didn’t want Julian to leave the Summerton family for her. Realistically, she also wished to marry into a wealthy family instead of being an ordinary housewife.

She wasn’t the saintly female lead in novels; she was just an ordinary woman with desires and emotions.

“I’ll leave then.” Linda could only leave angrily as she knew that Althea had changed her mind just like Julian, so staying in the Summerton family would only make her feel embarrassed.

Her mother naturally followed her.

The friendship of twenty years between the two families plummeted in an instant. Not to mention Althea, even Zaiden felt it was a pity.

Nevertheless, Zaiden and Althea had discussed it last night. Emmanuel had advanced to the Grand Martial Showdown finals, while the Quillen family’s reputation continued to rise in Onza with their business expanding. They greatly surpassed the Becker family in Gratz.

Initially, Althea’s plan was to form a marriage alliance with the Becker family to save the

Summerton family from collapse. However, if Emmanuel performed strongly in the

Grand Martial Showdown finals and the Quillen family became one of the leading families in Nuthana, Julian and Roselynn’s marriage might even be able to secure the position of the Summerton family.

During their dinner, Althea didn’t beat around the bush. She directly told Roselynn,

“Roselynn, I know you and Julian love each other, so I won’t stop you anymore.

However, if you two really want to get married, I have only one condition.”

“What is it?” Roselynn frowned as she asked.
