Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 697

Seeing Velma’s hostility towards Sydney, the Old Madam’s face was overcast with more discontent and anger.

The Old Madam slapped hard on the blanket and asked coldly, “Velma, why are you looking at Syd like that? You want to kill her?”

Facing the Old Madam’s reproach, Velma shivered with fear. She shrunk her neck right away and had no guts to glare at Sydney with hostility anymore. “Mom, what are you talking about? Why would I kill her?” she asked, with a forced smile.

“Humph, you were glowering at Syd like you would almost rush to kill her,” the Old Madam sneered.

Velma bowed her head and kept silent.

She understood that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make, so it was best that she said nothing.

Sydney couldn’t resist smirking at Velma, who had to zip her mouth and act weak before the Old Madam, with her eyes gleaming with pleasure as well.

Velma caught sight of this and swelled with rage. "Sydney Raines, why are you..."

“What are you doing?” The old Madam slapped the blanket again to stop Velma from firing insults at Sydney again.

Velma suddenly became much less aggressive. “Mom, she laughed at me,” she complained instead, pointing at Sydney.

“Humph, don’t you think you’re funny?” the Old Madam looked at her, sizing her up, “You’re indeed a pathetic joke.”

“Mom, how could you say this?” Velma, her eyes bulging, complained, “I’m your daughter-in-law.”

“But Syd is my granddaughter-in-law. If you dare to bully her, I’ll punish you for that. You have to be clear that she has a bigger place in my heart,” the Old Madam responded, staring at her threateningly and coldly.

Velma felt so sick with jealousy that she fixed her red eyes on Sydney and said, “Granddaughter-in-law? Mom, you’ve got a bad memory. She’s divorced your grandson for some time. Why are you still treating her as your granddaughter-in-law? And you even give that bracelet to her. You’re really...”

“You’re just reminding me,” the Old Madam suddenly interrupted her, squinting her eyes.

When seeing this, Velma got a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. “W-what’s that?”

“Syd, sit here.” The Old Madam patted the bedside and asked Sydney to sit down there.

Putting the prescribed medicine aside, Sydney took her seat obediently. “Grandma,” she called.

“Syd, tell me about it. Did she plan to rob you of your bracelet just now?” the Old Madam pulled over her hand with the bracelet and asked.

“I...” Sydney dropped her eyes with an embarrassed look and said, “Grandma, I can’t complain about it. Anyway, she’s Julien’s mother, I...”

“Don’t worry. She’s just a stepmother. You don’t have to be afraid of her. Just do as I say. I’ll back you up even if Julien blames you for this. Be brave,” the Old Madam comforted her.

“Since you put it that way, I’ll say it,” Sydney nodded in agreement and then allowed herself a wry smile while hiding the cunning in her lowered eyelids, “Just now, in the elevator, when Velma noticed the bracelet around my wrist, she said I had stolen it from you and even planned to snatch it. No matter how hard I tried to explain that you’d given it to me, she didn’t believe me. She even asserted that I must’ve cajoled you into giving me this when you weren’t thinking clearly. Grandma, please explain to her for me that I’ve never done what she said.”

What a poor girl! You could tell how wronged she felt. No one would doubt her. Instead, one would subconsciously feel the desire to protect her.

Sydney herself, however, was feeling sick about her own behavior.

Acting innocent was so disgusting, which was beyond her imagination.

“OK, as you like,” the Old Madam said while smoothing Sydney’s hair with a kindly and gentle face.

When she turned to Velma, the mild expression dramatically faded away and a look of impatience took the place of it. “Well, you dared to snatch the bracelet I have given to Syd,” she snapped.
