The noise echoed in the room and Madison's face turned pale immediately.
"Madison, I've turned a blind eye to all the outrageous things you've done over the years. Yes, the Godfrey family has wronged you, but there are some things that can be done and some that can't. Do you understand?"
Helen's anger was through the roof. No one had seen her so angry in decades.
No one knew better than Madison that what really made Helen so angry was not the commotion that day, but the kidnapping case.
"Mother, the kidnapping case was really an accident. I didn't really want..."
"Grandma," an indifferent voice came from the door, interrupting Madison's explanation.
Helen looked up and saw Theodore enter. The anger in her face was restrained a little, but there was still some impatience left behind. "Theodore, you came just in time." "Find a time to go to Yvonne's place tomorrow and apologize to her on behalf of your mother."
"What? Apologize?" Madison's expression changed immediately. "Why should he apologize?"
"Shut up." Helen glanced at her coldly. "You've done such a shameful thing and your son is going to clean up the mess for you. What else do you have to say?"
Madison gritted her teeth and was filled with complaints, but she did not dare to speak.
"Take this with you when you go there," said Helen as she handed Theodore a white envelope.
Theodore took out the thing inside; it was a thin check. He didn't even look at the amount before putting it back with a straight face. He said in a low voice, "Okay, Grandma. I'll take care of it."
Helen nodded and said, "By the way, your mother will move out of Yoreast Hills Garden from tomorrow onwards and live in Peaceful Villa for self-cultivation."
"Mother!" As soon as Madison heard that she was going to move out of Yoreast Hills Garden, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe what she heard.
Helen didn't even look at her. She stood up and said, "You don't have to say anything more. Peaceful Villa is near the church of Swallow Hill, and it's quiet. This matter is settled."
With this sentence, Helen left the ward directly. When she left, she still looked angry and didn't even give Madison a chance to refute.
Slam! The door of the ward was closed from the outside, and the room fell into a dead silence.
Madison looked at Theodore who was standing at the end of the bed, and her blood was boiling. She picked up the pillow and threw it at him.
Theodore didn't even make a single move as the white pillow brushed past his knee. When it landed on the ground, it emitted a 'thud' sound, raising a small amount of dust into the air.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you hear what your grandmother just said? Why didn't you say anything?"
A sharp female voice fell on his eardrum. Madison was the dignified Mrs. Godfrey in public, but privately, she was shouting at him with a voice as hoarse as a shrew.
Theodore's expression didn't change at all. His gaze was cold, as if he was looking at a stranger. "No one can ever change Grandma's decision."
"Others obviously can't, but you're the heir of the Godfrey family! She raised you since you were young!"
"Is this why you sent me to Grandma when I was a child?"
Whether it was sending him to Helen, or bringing him back later, the so-called family love was nothing more than a tool for Madison to consolidate her position in the Godfrey family.
"So what? Isn't it for your future that I've done all these? Look at you now. The entire Godfrey family belongs to you, and you have Madam Scott, who has the most say in the family, backing you!"
Theodore looked at his own mother indifferently. There wasn't a single trace of intimacy or affection in his eyes; there was only coldness. He had long since grown tired of these high-sounding words.
"Are you done talking?" The four indifferent words echoed through the room.
Madison's expression froze.
Theodore said, "Withdraw all those people whom you sent to keep watch over Everleigh."
