Chapter 1102 Being Framed (3)
Elliot woke up from his memories, with a few traces of nostalgia and tenderness lingering in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Rose, who was still unconscious on the bed, with a doting gaze.
“Rose… Why can’t we just be like before? Why… why did you betray me?”
“But I still won’t divorce you! Rose, you better get better soon. You can forget about getting a divorce in this lifetime because I won’t agree to it!” Elliot’s face was filled with pain but he had to admit that his feelings for Rose ran deep. He couldn’t bear to let her go or see her hurt even though he knew she had betrayed him by having another man’s child.
Elliot sat by the bed and buried his face in Rose’s hands as he fell silent. Unbeknownst to him, Leah stood at the door, recording everything on her phone in excitement. She felt relieved that her dad truly loved her mom and had done so much just to keep her around.
At that moment, At this moment, Elliot’s presence in Leah’s heart suddenly grew stronger, and her dissatisfaction with him disappeared. She thought about all the hardships that her mom went through over the years raising three children alone overseas without their father by their side…
The girl gradually turned red-eyed as tears streamed down her face while she saved the video on her phone. Suddenly there was a tissue held out before Leah’s eyes; it was Shawn who’d been following behind unnoticed all along!
Leah harbored hostility towards Shawn. She hadn’t forgotten that it was Shawn’s mother who had torn her mom and dad apart. According to their current statuses, they were enemies!
She glared at him, refusing to take the tissue he offered. Turning around, she headed towards her room on the other side, leaving the young boy behind.
Shawn watched as Leah disappeared into another room; sadness etched across his young features but he quickly composed himself before returning back next door.
Back in her room, Leah wiped her eyes, glanced at the video, and then pondered for a moment before sending it to Khalil, who was far away overseas.
She dare not send it to Sean. Sean already has a bias against their father, and if he sees the video and finds out that Mommy is unconscious, he will definitely hate her father even more.
She didn’t want their dad to be disliked by Sean before their dad and mom reconciled.
So she sent the video to Khalil without thinking twice.
Khalil did not come back with them, but he must also be very concerned about the progress of their dad and mom.
At the same time, Leah added, “Khalil, after watching it, do you think Daddy actually loves Mommy very much? He’s not pretending, he really cares about Mommy!”
Khalil, who is far away in a foreign country, also saw the video and his eyes lit up. This is exactly what he has been waiting for.
He immediately replied to Leah, “Hmm, Daddy does seem to be very concerned about Mommy.”
Leah’s face lit up with a sweet smile when she received the reply. She knew that Khalil must also love their father just like she does!
With Khalil’s help, Daddy and Mommy will definitely reconcile soon, and the three siblings will have a father in the future!
On the other side, Madeleine, who left with old Mr. Harper, had a pale face.
She entered old Mr. Harper’s mansion with fear and anxiety in her heart, her mind in a state of confusion. She was completely unaware of how last night’s events, which were clearly meant for Rose, had ended up happening to her!
‘Rose is such a bitch! She must have used some means to scheme against me! It’s definitely her causing trouble! This bitch, I’m determined to make sure she doesn’t have it easy!’
As soon as Madeleine thought about what happened to her last night being seen by everyone at the party, her face turned even paler. Her reputation and dignity were ruined! It’s all Rose’s fault!
Madeleine bit her lip and saw old Mr. Harper sitting upright, looking at her with a stern expression. His face no longer had the usual gentle and kind smile, which made her feel anxious. She walked over to explain herself, “Grandpa, I didn’t do it last night… I don’t know how that happened, you must believe me!”
Old Mr. Harper gave her a sharp look, seemingly disgusted by Madeleine’s appearance, and then shifted his gaze away from her and didn’t look at her again.
No matter how much he liked Madeleine, he could never go back to the way things were before with no grudges between them.
Last night’s scandal was witnessed by so many people. Even though they were warned to keep it to themselves, it was impossible to hide it completely.
The entire high society circle was privately spreading rumors about last night’s affair. The main characters were naturally Madeleine and that man, while Elliot and Rose’s names were also mentioned.
“Grandfather, I was drugged last night. I felt something wasn’t right and then… I was set up! It must have been Rose! It definitely was that bitch Rose! Grandfather, you have to believe me! I would never do anything to hurt Elliot! You know that…”
Madeleine noticed old Mr. Harper’s terrible expression and continued explaining non-stop as if last night’s incident really had just been an accident and she had been framed by someone else.
But she didn’t reflect on herself – if it wasn’t for her trying to frame Rose with someone else, how could this incident even happen? In the end she ended up hurting herself instead of others.
The more old Mr. Harper listened, the more disgusted he became; he understood what Madeleine had planned for last night.
What disgusted him most of all was that Madeleine’s plan not only failed but made herself bear all these consequences.
“Enough!” Old Mr. Harper waved his hand and interrupted Madeleine’s words; looking at her furiously. “Even if I ordered this matter not to be spread outwards, it doesn’t mean anything when so many people saw it last night. Everyone can’t pretend like they didn’t see anything.”
“You don’t need to say anymore,” He continued coldly, “We could have used this against Rose but you brought trouble upon yourself. A woman like you who slept with a dirty man is in no position to marry into the Harper family.”
Old Mr. Harper impatiently looked at her, wanting her gone.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Madeleine saw that old Mr. Harper seemed indifferent as if giving up on her; panic rose in her heart as she quickly grabbed onto him preventing him from leaving. “Grandfather, I really love Elliot! I love him! My only wish is to marry him! You must help me seek justice against Rose or else how will I live in future? And my poor Shawn…”
