Jonathan was relieved to see that Master Quigley knew what was going on. Jonathan then told Joseph that Gwen bullied Anna several times. Joseph was angry when hearing what Jonathan said and snorted coldly, âHmph!â Jonathan immediately comforted Joseph, âMaster Quigley, calm down.â
Joseph was outraged and said, âWhat a bastard. Gwenâs grandfather, Samuel, was not a good person.
He bullied the good and pleased the evil. I didnât expect that after so many generations, the members of the Raven family are still bastards. Some people throw themselves at Anna even though Anna doesnât like them. Those people will keep annoying Anna until they receive Annaâs reactions. Well, if Gwen wants Anna to be her teacher, bring it on then.
âI saw Gwen bully Anna. Thus, Iâm going to announce that Anna is my student when I announce the result of tomorrowâs Medical Technology competition. I want Gwen to know what she did was humiliating herself. âTeaching Gwen a lesson is just an unexpected part of my journey. I participate in this conference because I want to go to Jadeborough and support Anna.
âUnexpectedly, I saw Gwen bully Anna more than once. She always tries to pick a fight with Anna.
Therefore, I donât think I will be way out of line tomorrow. A gloating smile appeared on Jonathanâs face. He thumbed up and said, âWhat an excellent plan, Master Quigley! Gwen will be embarrassed and regret what she has done. The result must be satisfying!â
Joseph looked at Jonathan proudly with his hands behind his back. Seeing that many people were rushing over, Joseph said to Jonathan, âFocus on your patient. Now Iâm going back to the hotel to rest.
Itâs too noisy here with so many people talking and yelling.â âIâll see you out,â said Jonathan.
âNo need. Old Dariel has sent two of his students to take care of me. Focus on the competition, and donât embarrass me.â âI will do my best, Master Quigley!â âBy the way, keep an eye on Anna. Donât let others bully her again.â âI will.â Joseph then walked out of the conference with his hands behind his back. The people from the aristocratic families wanted to surround Joseph again.
Joseph put his hands behind his back and said, âEveryone, thank you for your enthusiasm for an old person like me. Now Iâm old and not as energetic as before. Just a while later, Iâm already tired. Excuse me, I would like to go to the hotel and rest.â People from the Blake and Jones family wanted to invite Joseph to a meal. Joseph refused them and explained, âSorry, I donât have time for a meal with you. I havenât seen my disciple for many years. I want to do some catching up with them.â
âOh, okay. We understand it. Take care, Mr. Quigley. Have a good rest. What about we take you a ride?â Joseph replied, âNo, thanks. Iâve already ordered a car.â Then Joseph and Darielâs two students left the conference. Gwen saw that Joseph went back to the hotel to rest. She thought, âHereâs your chance.â
Then Gwen immediately asked Leo to leave and went after Joseph. In the Parks residence. Old Mr.
Parks was already lying down. Annalise took care of Old Mr. Parks. She was observing Old Mr. Parks while writing the prescription. Julian took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Abigail and the others also returned.
Layla was afraid she would say the truth. Thus, she seldom talked. After all, Tony and her son did not know. about that. Layla glared at Abigail, thinking, âAbigail is useless. She only had one job.â Abigail did not dare to say a word, either. Alexander had told her before that he would kill her if she dared to do anything to Samuel.
Abigail could only communicate with Layla with eye contact. Abigail transferred the information through her eyes. âYou shouldnât blame me for the result. I already did anything I could. The poison was colorless and tasteless, and I had successfully made Samuel drink it. Unfortunately, plans could not keep up with changes.
âIf Annalise and Jonathan hadnât arrived so quickly and saved Samuel in time, Samuel would definitely died. If so, I bet Jonathan and even Joseph Quigley couldnât save Samuel.â Layla glanced at Abigail again. That eye contact meant âYouâre on your own.â
Tony noticed that no one was speaking. He also saw that Layla and Abigail looked at each other strangely. Tony was annoyed and said, âWhatâs going on, guys? Abigail, tell me the truth. Is it you?â
Abigail said immediately, âDad, it wasnât me.â Tony asked again, âIt really wasnât you?â âIt really isnât,â
Abigail insisted.
Alexander did not go to the conference today. He heard about the event that happened to Samuel.
After knowing that Samuel was poisoned because he drank Abigailâs tea, Alexander sat on the sofa and stared at Abigail, focusing on the changes in her expression. âWas it you?â Tony looked at Layla again.
Tony felt that Samuel was too harsh on him. Sometimes, Tony would be angry at Samuel and even consider Samuel an unnecessary existence. However, Tony did not want Samuel to die.
Hearing Tony question her, Layla immediately threw a tantrum, shouting, âTony Parks, what did you say?â Layla clutched her chest and said, âHow many years have I been married to you? Huh? Itâs been 20 years. Why did I have to wait until today if I wanted to kill him? Huh?
âWeâve been husband and wife for twenty years. Donât you know what kind of person I am? âTony Parks, you are an evil bastard with no conscience and no heart! âHow much did I suffer?
âI used to be your mistress. I didnât ask you for money or an announcement, and I gave birth to your son, Alexander. I could only marry you and finally become your legitimate wife when your first wife died.
âAfter getting married, I tried my best to be a filial daughter-in-law, a good wife who knew everything well, and a gentle mother. In the end, when something happened, you suspected me the first. âMy heart is also made of flesh, not iron! âDonât you think my heart will ache when you question me like this?â
Snot and tears covered Laylaâs face. She cried sadly, âItâs been 20 years, Tony Parks. Weâve been married for 20 years, but people still view me as your mistress. For what do I suffer all this? Do I ask you to suffer so you can stab me in the heart?
âIâve been comforting myself that it doesnât matter what others say about me. Itâs the happiest thing to see the family together. In the end, you suspect me? Hahaâ¦â Seeing Layla like this, Tony felt upset. He comforted her, âLayla, I didnât doubt you. I just asked a question.â âI⦠I want a divorce!â Layla looked like she was very painful.
Tony frowned and sighed, saying, âEnough, donât be silly. Itâs already chaotic enough. I was so anxious at that time. Thus, I spoke without thinking. It wonât happen again. Have a good rest. Iâll go see dad.â
Tony was relieved when he heard that it wasnât Layla or Abigail to do that.
Alexander said, âMom, have a good rest. He got up and followed Tony to visit Samuel. Julian had asked someone to extract the fingerprints on the cup and the poison in it. In addition, Julianâs hacker team had already retrieved the surveillance footage at the time of the incident. They were now analyzing the surveillance footage. âHowâs your grandpa?â Tony asked when he saw Julian sitting in the living room with a cold expression. Julian ignored Tony and did not reply.
Julianâs attitude made Tony angry. Tony was filled with anger and wanted to pick a fight. However, thinking of his fatherâs current situation, Tony snorted and walked toward Samuelâs room. Annalise finished the prescription, and she was folding it. Alexanderâs eyes flashed as he watched Annaliseâs practiced movements. Alexander thought, âSome things are becoming more and more clear.â
