Chapter 172
Yvonne’s face was looking pretty bad. She grabbed Latham and walked towards where Baldrick was.
In a while, the body will be sent to the funeral home. Following Baldrick’s instructions, there wouldn’t be a memorial service, he’d be buried directly with his wife.
“These old geezers, insulting me for being a loser in a roundabout way! Latham said furiously
Latham thought that although he might not be as talented as those business geniuses, he still had a good brain, he just lacked luck!
“What’s the deal with the inheritance? Your mom can’t be THAT clueless to just hand over the huge family business to outsiders, right?” Yvonne was a bit uneasy.
She also didn’t expect that after more than twenty years, that old hag would find out the truth about what happened back then. And because of that, she would cut off ties
with them
But Yvonne thought that, anyway, Latham was still Hilaria’s oldest son, she couldn’t possibly disown her own child for a woman from twenty-something years ago, could
she?
“I haven’t been able to get any information on what’s happening in the company lately. You’re asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? Latham was just as desperate, scratching his head.
He saw that the woman he had just met was very close to his mother.
Latham had never seen his strict mother be so gentle with any child, let alone listen to that woman so obediently!
Seeing this, Yvonne lowered her eyes and began to cry. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t fallen in love with you back then and you hadn’t been with me, none of this would’ve happened
Latham quickly tried to comfort her, “How is this your fault? If anyone’s to blame, it’s that evil woman Adeline. After all those years, she still wants to frame you for hurting
her
Yvonne didn’t say anything, just leaned in her husband’s arms and cried quietly.
That idiot Adeline, capable of harming her? She’d been dead for who knows how many years, even her ashes was probably disintegrated already
On the other side
Rosalynn took quite a few of her favorite breakfast dishes from the care center cafeteria, all of which she had eaten before.
The steaming food was placed in front of Hilaria.
Hilana seemed a bit dispirited. “Sorry to bring this mess to you?
“What does their mockery have to do with you?” Rosalynn pushed the milk towards her, “Drink it while it’s hot, to warm up your body”
Hilania took a sip. Indeed, she felt much better.
Rosalynn thought for a moment. “That person from the past, her name was Adeline?”
What a coincidence, her mother was also named Adeline, Adeline Tesdal
“Yeah”
Rosalynn nodded. “It seems that Mr. Baldrick and his wife had a very good relationship.”
“It’s more than just very good. If it wasn’t for an innocent child at that time, Baldrick would definitely die with her Hilaria sighed and shook her head, “So, when Yvonne just returned home, Baldrick was actually in great pain
Rosalynn silently sipped her coffee
“Yvonne’s foster parents were very bad, and she suffered a lot. She didn’t even finish elementary school. But Adeline was raised with luxury and received the best education She eventually married into the Jared family”
With that said, Rosalynn could probably understand Baldrick’s pain
“Adeline was also very guilty and treated Yvonne as good as Baldrick. But who knew that Yvonne wanted to be the wife of the eldest son from the Jared family? I don’t believe for a moment that it was true love, my son has nothing to offer but a pretty face!”
“What happened after that?” Rosalynn asked.
“After that “Hilana furrowed her brows, looking in a lot of pain, “One day, I caught Adeline having sex with her childhood sweetheart” Rosalynnis hand froze
“At that time, I didn’t know that Yvonne had already been with my loser son, and I just assumed she was cheating I didn’t listen to her explanation and drove her out of the house This incident became widely known in high society” Hilaria cried, “It wasn’t until this year that I’ve learned that Yvonne had bribed the maid, drugged Adeline, and deliberately led me to catch her in the act
“I can’t imagine how humiliated and desperate Adeline must have been at that timel
Rosalynn felt quite uncomfortable and nauseous
‘Did Mr. Baldrick know the truth?” she asked
