However, Patricia didnât appear surprised by her sister because Isaac had already visited her parents
at the Aniston Residence. Therefore, it seemed to Patricia that there was nothing wrong with her
showing up at Isaacâs house, considering the relationship between him and her. Without any interest in
entertaining Adeline, she entered the kitchen with the ingredients in her hand and proceeded to put
them in the refrigerator. Nevertheless, Adeline wouldnât stop following her like a duckling as she
demanded an answer from her. âHey! Iâm talking to you!â
Eventually, Patricia had enough of Adeline and grabbed a knife to which she pressed against the
latterâs throat. âShut the hell up, unless you want to die!â
Feeling the sharp blade on her skin, Adeline blanched with her eyes wide open. âA-Are you out of your
mind? Iâm Isaacâs fiancée. So, if I die, youâre going to jail, and your kids are going to be homeless for
that.â
âDonât worry about me. Someone will take care of them on my behalf.â Patricia smiled eerily, scaring
Adeline with just a flex of her arm as the latter screamed and fled the kitchen fearfully.
âHelp! Help!â Adeline was so scared that she delusionally thought Patricia was going to kill her,
considering the terrible things they did to her back then. As long as this madwoman is still breathing,
she will hunt us down with a knife in her hand.
In the meantime, Elizabeth and a maid heard the cry and rushed to the source of the voice to
investigate what had happened. âWhatâs wrong?â the older lady asked in surprise as she came down
the stairs seconds later. Bloody hell! Whatâs the screaming about?!
Adeline then quickly messed her hair to intentionally make herself look disheveled while crying and
complaining. âThis woman! She is trying to kill me with a knife!â
Soon, Patricia stepped out of the kitchen and glared at Adeline. âOh, I wouldnât dare to kill anybody.â
When Elizabeth saw Patricia, she smiled and said, âTricia is a nice girl. What makes you think she will
do something so cold-blooded?â The old lady then walked up to Patricia and seized her hand, asking,
âWhat brings you here, Patricia?â It was then that she was reminded of Adeline, whom Hendrick
wanted Isaac to marry. Nevertheless, Adeline failed to win either Isaacâs or Elizabethâs hearts. On the
other hand, Patricia began to grow on the lady more and more because of her genuine and sincere
attitude after getting along with her a few times.
Meanwhile, a darkened look flashed across Adelineâs face when she saw how close Elizabeth was
getting to Patricia. Dang you, Patricia! You must have come to ruin my life with Isaac! While her eyes
were filled with an eerie indifference, a sinister thought crossed her mind. Patricia must die!
âIâm here to repay my debt.â Patricia reacted with a sweet smile. As ordinary as her words might have
sounded, Elizabeth appeared to interpret them differently. She then glimpsed Patriciaâs belly,
suspecting that she could be pregnant with Isaacâs child. At that moment, her mood improved as there
was no other exciting news than welcoming her great-grandchild to the world.
Although Patricia was already a mother of three, Elizabeth was kind enough to accept her past,
thinking she must have met a man who treated her badly back then, not to mention the high divorce
rate that was getting common. For that, she believed Patricia would live a happy life if she was married
to Isaac, having absolute confidence in her handsome and outstanding grandson. Patricia is going to
be the happiest woman in the world if she marries Isaac.
While Elizabeth seized Patriciaâs hand and took her to the living room after telling the maid to prepare
them some tea, Adeline was ignored and left behind, but instead of making the sensible choice of
walking away, she decided that she should stay by Elizabethâs side at the crucial moment. Therefore,
she followed the ladies and sat down beside Elizabeth. âI must have misunderstood something back
there, Old Mrs. Arnold. I didnât know you both knew each other.â
Elizabeth nodded her head in response to Adelineâs flattering attitude. âYes, Patricia and I are friends.
By the way, how did you ladies know each other? Are you both a part of the Anistons? You two have
the same last name.â
Adeline shot a cold gaze at Patricia and explained, âOh, of course not. She is the daughter of a maid
who served my family, but since my grandfather liked her a lot, he decided to name her with the last
name of Aniston.â
