"Of course it's necessary!" Madelyn said excitedly and her face was filled with resentment.
Lucho seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He stood in front of Madelyn and did not say a word.
"Lucho, what qualification did the illegitimate b*stard have? Huh?" Madelyn grabbed Lucho's arm emotionally and looked at him with an anxious face, "When he was young, he came to this house to disgust me and I couldn't leave in peace because of him. I endured it for this family and you. But now, he actually wants to work in our company?"
"What's more, is Maxwell qualified to treat me like this? He must think that he doesn't need anyone to help him now, so he has nothing to fear!"
After that, Madelyn nodded as if she was bewitched, "Yeah! It must be like this! It must be! He doesn't need my family to help him anymore. He has had everything, so he doesn't respect me anymore. I'm old and my family has declined a lot, so, I'm nothing in his eyes."
"Mom, it's not like that." Lucho hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually... dad is very concerned about you. The reason why dad didn't tell you was that he was afraid you would be too angry and he didn't want you to be in a bad mood. Furthermore, although he slapped you in the face just now, I could tell that he was somewhat regretful."
Adele looked at them with her eyes wide open and listened to their conversation. She was so shocked.
It was not surprising that Maxwell had beaten someone, but he actually beat Madelyn?
Moreover, why did Madelyn kept calling Issac an illegitimate b*stard?
"Are you still speaking for that b*stard now?" Madelyn seemed to be very mad. She grabbed Lucho's arm with both hands and kept shaking it, "Lucho, can you keep a clear head? You are not a stupid person. What's wrong with you now? You..."
She said incoherently, "Maxwell wants Isaac to work in our company now, but you're even not anxious and you speak for him? If he really cares about me, he wouldn't have beaten me! I've been with him for more than thirty years! He actually beat me for that illegitimate b*stard!"
Adele was shocked again. Was Isaac going to work in Bai Company? In the past... he always said that he did not like anything in the Bai family. Did he want to work in Bai Company?
Why on earth... did he do this?
"Lucho, do you know how I feel right now?" Madelyn stared at Lucho with her eyes full of panic, "I'm unwilling! I really can't accept it! I don't care even if he has disgusted me. I can endure it for you. But... now he wants to hurt you! Do you want to endure it again? If you endure it, maybe... Bai Company won't be yours one day!"
Lucho gritted his teeth, "Mom, I know."
"You don't know!" Madelyn growled, "If you know the stake, you wouldn't have talked to Maxwell without telling me!"
After that, she let go of his arm and clasped her hands tightly, "I knew it! I knew that the illegitimate b*stard suddenly came to me with evil intentions yesterday! It turns out that... he is thinking about this! His wild ambition is so hateful!"
"At that time, I thought about it too simply. Issac had been disgusting me for so many years, so I didn't want him to live a good life. I had known that he and Adele liked each other. I had been waiting and Adele finally got pregnant. I knew how much he cared about her. Otherwise, he would not be single for so many years. Although Maxwell always put pressure on him, he always said that he was young."
"Maxwell was naturally unwilling to let them get married. Therefore..." Madelyn was furious, "At that time, Isaac was so crazy and he acted like a lunatic. Moreover, after Adele died, he was so overwhelmed with grief that hardly wished to live. When I heard that he actually wanted to jump into the river and die with her, I was really very happy. After doing so much, we hurt his heart indeed. However... in the end, we've got ourselves into troubles. He was engaged to the girl from the Li family and has really become a threat to us."
"If I had known that it would be like this, I wouldn't have told Maxwell about it. On the contrary..." Madelyn said maliciously, "I would speak for them in front of Maxwell and let them get married... or I would ask Issac to leave with Adele as far as possible. After all, he knew what kind of person Maxwell was."
"If he left, he would not anger me, nor would he compete with you for the property." Madelyn gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Lucho, it's all my fault. I'm sorry for you. I really did not expect it to be like this back then. I wanted to be happy, but I made things difficult for you."
"Mom, don't talk about it anymore. It's all over, and it's useless to talk about it. Adele is already dead, so we won't be able to threaten Issac again. So, don't think about it again."
"How can I not think about it?" Madelyn shook her head, "It's my fault!"
Mom..." "Lucho!" Madelyn held Lucho's hand and said eagerly, "Don't worry. I will support you. Even if Maxwell has other intentions, I will think of a way to help you. However... I don't think Isaac likes the daughter of the Li family."
"But, even if she can't make Issac like her, I won't let Issac threaten you! If anyone dares to ruin your good future, I can ruin that person for you!"
