Chapter 517
Tilly did not leave immediately; rather, she squatted at the door of the vi.

She also dared not enter the house again. She was afraid to see the angry face of Eduardo. A little
while ago, she ran out of the dining room like a homeless stray dog, walking alone on the long
private road. No one came to see her, and no one cared about her.
Thinking of everyone''s angry and reproachful eyes, Tilly felt extremely wronged.
However, she also realized that she had done something wrong.
Tilly became angry when she was told that it was Wendy whoined to Eduardo, who ordered
her to apologize to Wendy. The hatred in Tilly''s heart thus became deeper and deeper. She thought
that she must not let Wendy ept her apology with content and arrogance. She wanted Wendy to
suffer a little at the same time!
Tilly had personally gone to the pharmacy to buy thexative, and then she grounded thexative
into powder. How the deuce was it turned into rat poison in the end?
Although Tilly hated Wendy, she actually did not have the courage to harm others too much. Take
the ident that had happened in the hotel as an example. She had specially ordered the waiter to
leave a few small pieces of clothes for Wendy and Francis. Tilly was afraid that if she had really
made love with Francis, Wendy might end up killing herself because of the disgraceful thing she
did...
Facing everyone''s usations, Tilly waspletely unable to exin for it, because even she
herself did not know what was going on.
Thinking of her tragic situation, Tilly felt a lumping into her throat, and she almost cried again.
At this time, the sound of footsteps could be heard again in the hallway. It was Kim Gray and Madge
Gray, the father and daughter, who wereing out of the vi. Tilly ran over to them in silence.
"Uncle, I have something to say to Madge!"
Kim and Madge were both shocked, and then they frowned. Kim finally swallowed his harsh words
down. After all, Tilly was his only niece. He nodded with a gloomy look and said, "Well, you can talk
to Madge first. I''ll go to the car and wait!"
Kim was the first to walk out of the yard and get in the car. Only the two cousins were left.
Tilly suddenly stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Madge, it''s you, isn''t it?"
"Tilly, what on earth are you talking about?" Madge asked with a puzzled look.
"Don''t pretend to be innocent!" Tilly gritted her teeth and red at her cousin. "Madge, it must be
you. I''ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I just can''t figure it out! I did buy thexative from
the pharmacy. It''s quite impossible that the shop assistant there has given me the wrong drugs.
Besides, the medicine box clearly indicated that it wasxative! You were the only one who knew
my n. Who else can it be except you?"
Hearing this, Madge sighed and shook her head, "Tilly, I don''t want to me you too much for it.
How can you be so bold as to use rat poison? You told me at that time that it was onlyxative, and
therefore I did not stopped you. If you told me the truth, that it was notxative, but rat poison, I
would definitely have stopped you!"
Tilly stared at her cousion, as if she was judging whether thetter was telling a lie or not. But her
judgment told her that Madge was innocent, that she was telling the truth. She said deliberately, "I
still think that you did it! It doesn''t matter if you don''t admit it. I''ll ask the servant to figure it out!"
After Madge heard that, there was no sign of panic on her face.
"The servant?" Madge thought gloomily.
After the plot was revealed at that time, Eduardo immediately ordered the butler to fire the servant.
Now, with the money given to her by Madge, the servant must have already gotten on the train back
to the countryside. Even if Tilly seeded in finding her out, what could she do? It was Tilly who
personally ordered the servant to addxative to the soup, and handed over thexative to her. Now
the plot had failed. Even if thexative had been reced by rat poison by somebody else, Tilly still
had to bear the main responsibility. Without any solid evidence at hand, Tilly could only be a
mute victim!
The only pity was that the servant was too timid at the moment when she was to hand the soup to
Wendy. She identally knocked over the soup bowl and was seen through by Charlie; otherwise,
Wendy would have been lying in the hospital now. It would be better if Larry also had drunk his
mother''s soup. As the saying went, "Kill two birds with one stone"...
"Why every time I was extremely close to sess, but still failed in the end?" Madge thought.
Madge felt angry about her bad luck, and then looked at her angry cousin. She smiled sweetly and
said, "Thexative was personally given to the servant by you. It has nothing to do with me. It''s up
to you. I''m innocent, and I''m not afraid of your bad intents! Tilly, I have to say that you''ve gone too
far this time. I hope you can realize your mistake and don''t do it again in the future! Don''t worry, I''ll
intercede for you next time I talk to Grandpa!"
"You..." Tilly was choked on her words.
Madge patted her cousin on the shoulder tofort her, and then turned around to leave.
Sitting in the car, Kim, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, opened his eyes and
looked at his niece, who was still standing in the same ce, and stamping her feet out of anger,
"Madge, what did Tilly tell you?"
"Nothing, it''s just that she still hasn''t realized her mistake. I''ve already persuaded her," Madge
replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Kim nodded and directly ordered the driver to start the engine.
On the other side, Wendy and Charlie had already returned to their own vi. They coaxed Larry
into sleep first, and then there was only the two of them left in the bedroom next door.
"Charlie, do you believe Tilly''s words?"
Wendy, whose head was rested upon his chest, and whose hand was caressing his chin, suddenly
asked him a question.
Charlie frowned and said, "Why are you still thinking about her?"
Wendy pursed her lips and added thoughtfully, "I always feel that maybe Tilly really didn''t want to
hurt me so badly...”
Tilly was that kind of person who dared to love, or to hate somebody, in an open manner, and she
also had the courage to take her own responsibility. ording to her characters, if Tilly did have
ordered the servant to add rat poison to the soup, she would not try to tell Wendy that she hadn''t
done that at all. Wendy did not know why, but she always had a feeling that Madge must have
something to do with this plot against her. She thought that Madge was more vicious in her
characters. However, as there was no evidence against Madge, Wendy thought she might have
thought too much about it.
However, Wendy did not tell Charlie what she was thinking about. She was afraid that he would feel
that she was too petty over trivial things, not to mention that Tilly and Madge had already be
the past tense...
Charlie snorted coldly, but he did not care about Tilly at all. "If the old master doesn''t keep his word,
I''m going to drive Tilly back to Ennd myself within a week.” "But, didn''t you mentioned that her
mother and your mother were ssmates in the university?..." Wendy
reminded him.
"I don''t care!” Charlie said in a low voice.
Wendy looked up and saw that the outlines of his chin were especially powerful. His stern face
looked cool and almost inhuman under themplight, but she still felt warmth spreading from the
bottom of her heart, which made her safe andfortable.
Looking at the darkness of night outside of the window, she pushed him away and said, ''''Charlie,
you take a bath first, and I''ll go downstairs to heat up two cups of milk..."
Maybe it was because of the rat poison which made her panic, or because she hadn''t eaten much
in the Gray family, soon after she returned home, Wendy felt hungry.
Charlie ced his hands on her waist and whispered near her ear, with the hot air breathed out by
him touching her face, "What kind of milk do you want to drink? I''ll feed you something betterter!"
"Can''t you be more serious?" Wendy blushed.
Pulling out the restless big hand inside her clothes, Wendy got up from the bed and ran downstairs
to heat up the milk.
When Charlie came out of the bathroom, Wendy had already finished heating up the milk and
returned. One of the cups had been emptied by her, but she could not be seen in the bedroom. She
was now pinching both sides of her face in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
