Chapter 809: Chapter 812

“If we get together again, I’m sure my uncle will give us his blessing.”

Sophia was wearing a mask so she rolled her eyes to show her disbelief. “Stanley, are you itching for a beating?”

Hearing this, Stanley didn’t dare to continue the conversation. After all, Michael might suddenly appear and beat him up. Pointing at his dog, Stanley said, “Sophia, look at Judge. Just look at his leg! Back then, your son broke Judge’s leg and I spent a lot of money to get it cured. Many years have passed but I still haven’t received the compensation you promised!”

Sophia immediately rebuked, “I’m taking care of Judge and his puppies for you right now. Isn’t that enough to compensate for those bills? Moreover, I made Judge an online superstar and he is even more famous than you now. What else do you want? Not to mention, your cat got Lucile pregnant and she gave birth to a few mixed breed kittens, and I’m taking care of all of them for you right now!”

…

As the two of them quarreled, Stanley recalled the good times they had. All of a sudden, Sophia heard a fierce quarrel taking place not far away from her. It sounded like two women were arguing about something.

“You did everything you could to marry Joel. So what? Do you think that you can make him stay by giving him a son? Maddie, don’t you know your place?”

“I didn’t…”

“You didn’t? Have you forgotten how you seduced Joel back then?”

“I didn’t! I really didn’t!”

“I’ve seen a lot of people like you who wish to have a Cinderella ending. Even though you look innocent, deep down, you’re just a b*tch who is greedy for money and power.”

It was obvious that one person’s voice was aggressive while the other’s had no confidence.

I think I hear Maddie’s voice.

Sophia took a step forward but Stanley stopped her. He seemed to understand what was going on when he said, “Forget it; don’t go. That’s their family’s private affairs.” If I guessed right, she’s back… It’s better to not let Sophia intervene.

Since it was their family matters, Sophia didn’t want to intervene either. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the aggressive voice let out a weak and helpless scream. “Ah!”

Hearing this, Sophia hurriedly turned around to check on the situation. She and the others went around a corner and saw several people standing in front of them. By then, a few people had arrived at the scene and they saw a beautiful woman in high-heels sitting on the ground, looking pitiful. There was a wound on her knee and she was trying to stand up but everytime she tried, she fell down again. The woman was weeping helplessly and there were tears on her long eyelashes.

Meanwhile, Maddie was standing off to the side, panicking. Sophia looked at the poor woman and wanted to help her up, but a hand suddenly held her back. She turned around, only to find that it belonged to Michael. He was wearing a mask and he shook his head at her. Seeing this, Sophia had no choice but to stay still.

The woman in high heels sobbed as she said, “Maddie, why did you push me? I have no grievances or grudges against you!” Then, she looked up at Maddie with an aggrieved look on her face.

Facing the questioning glances from the crowd, Maddie waved her hands in panic and said, “I didn’t do anything!”

At that moment, Sophia also noticed that something wasn’t right. This woman was really aggressive a moment ago. In just a few seconds, her attitude had a drastic change.

At this time, Joel had also arrived and he had a cold expression on his face. A chubby toddler with the same cold expression followed closely behind. Joel looked at them blankly and Maddie tugged his arm and mumbled incoherently, “I didn’t… Joel, I didn’t…”

The woman on the ground hugged her knee with an aggrieved look on her face. She sobbed twice before she looked at Joel weakly and in a coquettish voice, she called out to him, “Joel…”

Seeing this, Sophia could guess what was going on. A great man like Joel married Maddie, who looks really ordinary, so naturally there were many people who were upset. The difference between Maddie, who dresses commonly, and the elegant woman in high heels is too big. A normal man would probably…

Sophia was just thinking about it when she saw Joel silently help the woman in high heels up.

Meanwhile, the woman took the opportunity to hold onto his arm and leaned her head against it. With a blissful look on her face, she whispered, “Joel.”

Then, she glanced at Maddie out of the corner of her eyes with a triumphant grin. Seeing this, Maddie lowered her head and sobbed silently.

Sophia felt a little disappointed. She never thought that Joel was such a person!

However, unexpectedly, Joel pushed the woman away at the next second and simply pointed at a bystander who was watching the scene unfold. “Josh, please take Irene to the infirmary.”

After he threw the responsibility to someone else, Joel turned around and coaxed his wife. Maddie looked up at him and there were tears rolling down her cheeks. Seeing this, Joel whispered, “It’s over now. Don’t worry; I believe you.”

Then, Joel grabbed his wife and Drew, turning around to leave.

Unexpectedly, the elegant woman in high heels suddenly pushed away the person who was holding her and ran over frantically. She hugged Joel fiercely and cried hard as she yelled, “Joel, don’t leave! Don’t leave me. I’ll die without you!”

However, Joel’s attitude was resolute. He coldly pushed off the hands around his waist and said, “Irene Weber, I’ll say this again. I’m married and it’s a military marriage, so don’t use any of these tactics in front of me ever again.”

Hearing this, the woman called Irene Weber went completely hysterical and began to cry and curse at Joel, looking really agitated. “Ask yourself, Joel—do you think you’ve done right by me? How are you going to pay me back the years you owe me? I gave you the best years of my life and this is how you treat me? You secretly married that ugly woman! How is she better than me?”

Joel was still hugging Maddie and holding her hand tightly when he froze in place. Turning around, he stared at Irene and with an earnest gaze, he said slowly, “Irene, I’m the one who owes you a debt. If you want my life, you can come and take it anytime, but I can’t marry you! If you want revenge, just come at me. This is the second time and if you disturb Maddie again, I assure you that you’ll be facing the consequences!”

His words were clear and the fierce look on his face made Irene understand that if she did something like this again, there would be no doubt that he would take her life. After Joel finished speaking, he left and didn’t spare another glance at her.

Irene cried and cursed at him but it was to no avail. After watching this, Michael said to Sophia, “Let’s go;

it’s time to head back. Carmen has already woken up and she’s searching everywhere for her mother!”

With that, Sophia followed Michael back to Old Master Fletcher’s house. On the way there, she couldn’t help but ask him, “About that woman just now… I think I heard her yell ‘nobody in the Fletcher family is good’ and ‘the Fletcher family ruined her life’. What does she mean? Who is she?”

Michael paused for a moment but chose to reply truthfully, “She’s my ex-girlfriend.”

He then told Sophia the stories about the past without concealing anything. Stanley, who was listening next to them, was shocked.

My uncle really is brave! I can’t believe that he dares to mention this kind of matter. He’s a true man!
