Chapter 321 Don’t Blame Me for Being Cruel
Upon hearing lan’s explanation, Joanna’s complexion shifted all of a sudden.
“What is Neera trying to say? I’ve always been responsible for Madam’s health. Is she doubting my medical skills?”
lan’s demeanor also turned icy, and he adopted an air of authority. “Ms. Bridges, this is a serious matter! Ms. Garcia’s intention is out of concern for her mother–in–law. She is married to Mr. Beauvort and holds the rightful position of his wife. It’s only natural for her to care about her spouse’s family. It’s not your place to question her actions. Please know who you are!”
Joanna was momentarily taken aback, she was about to retort, but lan continued, cutting off her response. “Plus Madam’s recovery has been slow. Mr. Beauvort couldn’t bear to see her suffer, so he requested Ms. Garcia’s assistance. Do you want to go against Mr. Beauvort’s decision?”
Each of his words was sharper than the last, and his tone and gaze grew colder with each sentence.
Left with no room to dispute, Joanna had no choice but to swallow her objections in a grudge.
After lan left, she could not suppress her emotions any longer, flinging the medicine into the trash can in a fit of anger. The flames of frustration threatened to consume her composure.
She had devoted years to the Beauvort family, and now she felt as if any random person could come in and
belittle her.
Not only had Neera arrived and taken over the role of the Beauvort’s wife, exerting dominance over her, but even Kyra, that actress, had dared to mock her openly!
How could she not be seething with anger?
After a while, she managed to regain some control over her emotions and began walking upstairs. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped abruptly, turned back to look at the discarded medicine, and a calculating gleam flickered in her eyes.
The medicine she gave to Wrenn must have dissipated by now, which was why her condition had not improved.
Realizing the potential consequences of her actions, Joanna understood that she could find herself in an inescapable predicament if this matter were to come to light.
She had thought about finding a scapegoat, but none had been fitting. Now, an opportunity had presented itself.
Neera had essentially delivered the means for her scheme on a silver platter. It could not be more perfect.
In Joanna’s mind, it was as if Neera had brazenly walked into her trap. With this new perspective, her anger transformed into a sinister satisfaction.
Observing her surroundings to ensure that the servants and housekeepers were nowhere near, she smirked.
Neera, since you’ve willingly stumbled into this, don’t blame me for what’s about to come!
Joanna swiftly picked the medicine up.
Later, Wrenn woke up from her rest.
Joanna handed her the medicine and attended to her with care.
Joanna an
“Madam, Ms. Garcia told lan to deliver the medicine in the afternoon. Please take it while it’s still warm.”
As she spoke, Joanna put on a warm smile and complimented, “Ms. Garcia cares for you.”
Wrenn was unsure whether to take the medicine as Neera had not examined her before and asked hesitantly, “Is it safe for me to take this medicine?”
Joanna nodded reassuringly, her smile unwavering. “Ms. Garcia possesses considerable medical knowledge. She likely prescribed this based on your condition. You should give it a try. I hate seeing you suffer like this. It won’t hurt to take the medicine. It might even help…”
Comforted by her words, Wrenn accepted the medicine without suspicion.
In the Imperial Gardens, Neera was resting at home when an inexplicable chill swept over her, sending a shiver down her spine.
Furrowing her brows, she could not shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Right at that moment, her phone began to ring, displaying Alfonso’s name on the screen.
She pursed her lips, feeling that her intuition was true.
Something bad must have happened.
Reluctant to answer, she thought of ignoring the call. However, Alfonso’s persistent calls forced her to pick up eventually.
Frustrated, she answered the call, her voice laced with irritation. “What do you want?”
On the other end of the line, Alfonso was already brimming with anger. However, upon hearing her tone, his anger intensified. He wanted to confront her immediately, questioning her attitude.
Yet, in a moment of consideration, he recalled the very reason he had sought her out. Suppressing his anger, he begrudgingly restrained himself and proceeded, “Your grandparents know that you’re back and want to see you.”
