Chapter 377
"Mum, no way. Keith will definitely get married and have kids."
Upon hearing her mother''s words, Lucinda, although worried that her brother would not want to get
married because of their parents'' marriage, could only reassure her mother.
Stefan also chimed in with someforting words.
At that moment, Janice''s cellphone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, she smiled at Lucinda and Stefan, "It''s your brother calling."
Janice answered the call.
"Mom."
Keith began with an apology, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. I just got free now."
Since their father had been called back home by Pete Blue and had not returned to the office, Keith
had been left in charge of all important matters at the Blue Corporation.
The corporation was so huge that even just dealing with important paperwork could keep him so
busy he didn''t even have time to drink water.
"It''s alright. I wasn''t waiting. I just woke up from a nap and received your call. Keith, don''t tire
yourself out too much. Take care of your health. That''s the most important thing."
Janice showed concern for her son.
She didn''t want her son to know that she had been waiting for his call.
"Mom, I will. Is Lucy back yet?"
Keith casually asked about his younger sister.
Technically, there weren’t many topics for him to talk with Janice about. Having grown up under the
strict supervision of his father and the entricity of his mother, he never really experienced normal
familial affection. Now that his mother was back to normal and he was an adult, capable of handling
his affairs, their phone calls were mostly about everyday life.
"Lucy and Stefan just got back. They went to a banquet tonight. Do you want to speak to Lucy?"

Without waiting for her son''s response, Janice handed the phone over to her daughter.
"Keith."
Hearing his sister''s voice, a smile spread across Keith''s tired face, "How was the banquet with
Stefan?"
"It was good. Made a lot of new friends."
"The road ahead of you won''t be an easy one. It''s good to make more friends."
Keith himself had attended many banquets, but at these events, he was as cold as an iceberg.
Apart from a few CEOs who would greet him out of business courtesy, people generally kept their
distance from him.
As for the women, they didn''t dare to approach him, even if they found him attractive, due to the
cold and intimidating bodyguards that surrounded him.
"Yeah, how''s dad?"
Lucinda remembered her father''s affairs, "What happened afterwards? About that woman who
schemed against dad, isn''t dad going to do anything about it?"
Keithughed upon hearing this.
"It must be exciting. Tell me and mom quickly."
Lucinda moved closer to her mother so that she too could hear what Keith would say.
When Nathan was mentioned, Janice''s expression grew cold, "I''m not interested in your father''s
affairs. Lucy, you two chat. I''m thirsty, I''m going to get some water."
With that, she got up and left.
She had no interest in knowing what happened to Nathan after he was deceived.
Even if Nathan didn''t want anything to do with Madeleine, so what? He and Madeleine were seen
as being in a heated rtionship. Even if he refrained himself from getting any physical contact, in
the eyes of others, they probably had slept countless times.
Even if realizing Madeleine was ying tricks, Nathan, who was a man setting store by overall
interests, would not easily take revenge on Madeleine. At most, he would act as if nothing had
happened, or maybe just ignore Madeleine for a while.
As the head of the Blue family, Nathan had too many factors to consider, Janice understood this.
If she hadn''t been Nathan''s wife, hadn''t experienced the pain of losing a daughter, hadn''t gone
mad, hadn''t been neglected for over twenty years, she would definitely have been able to
understand and tolerate everything about Nathan.
Watching her mother walk away, Lucinda knew the impasse between her parents was hard to
break.
"What happened afterwards?"
Lucinda, pulling Stefan to sit down with her, listened as her brother spilled the juicy gossip.
"Dad didn''t let mee home, so I didn’t see everything firsthand, but my guys filled me in. Lucy,
you would never guess what happened to Madeleine in the end. It was so satisfying. That''s exactly
what should happen to a bitch like her."
"When Madeleine schemed against Dad, she fell into a trap herself. Dad found an excuse to have
me take him to the hospital and had Uncle Hayden take Madeleine back to the Porter family. Who
would have known that when the drug took effect, she clung on to Uncle Hayden. Anyway, I heard it
was quite a scene, very thrilling."
Being busy all day, but talking about this gossip, Keith brushed aside his fatigue and continued to
share what he knew with his sister.
"The people who discovered that Madeleine and Uncle Hayden had spent the night together were
actually Grandpa and Grandma. It was so exciting. Grandpa and Grandma were both angry and
upset, but they forgot to close the door, so the news spread throughout the entire vi of the Blue
family. Aunt Ashley received the news and stormed over. She''s always been a domineering person.
She had been cuckolded, and in her own home no less, she wasn''t going to let it slide."
"When Aunt Ashley arrived at the scene, she was like a vengeful heroine. She grabbed Madeleine
and started to beat her up, swelling up her face. Then she dragged Madeleine out of the room like a
dead dog. If it weren''t for Grandma and the others who came to realize that if Madeleine was
dragged out of the house and seen by the public, the whole family would be humiliated."
At that time, Madeleine was still in a state of disarray.
"Later on, Dad and Pete came home. Dad grabbed Uncle Hayden and gave him a beating. In short,
Uncle Hayden and Madeleine both got beaten up, and both of them were very embarrassed. When
Madeleine found out that the person she had spent the night with was Uncle Hayden, her
expression was absolutely priceless."
Keith thought this was really poetic justice.
Unfortunately, his father didn''t let him go home to watch the spectacle, fearing that it would cast bad
influence on him.
Having grown up in the Blue family, he had seen plenty of dark things. Was there really a need to
worry about that?
Keith found it was a pity not being able to watch the tempest in person.
If he had been there, he would have definitely given his sister a live broadcast, so they could all
have a goodugh.
"And then what happened?"
Lucinda and Stefan were all ears, relishing the juicy tale.
Lucinda felt a pang of regret that she missed such a dramatic scene unfold.
"Then dad took Uncle Hayden with him to drive Madeleine back to the Porter family, as a sort of
apology. When Madeleine got back to the house, Mr. Porter wasn''t in. Only Mrs. Porter was home.
When she learned what had happened, she almost passed out."
To have her beautiful, precious daughter involved in such a scandal was a heartbreaking blow to
Mrs. Porter.
Aside from concerning her daughter, she had to deal with the rage of her husband.
Because the aphrodisiac was something she had acquired for her daughter.
"When Mr. Porter learned the truth, he was livid. I heard he beat Uncle Hayden ck and blue on
the spot. If it weren''t for our dad being there, Uncle Hayden could have been a goner. He kept
protesting his innocence, saying that Madeleine had seduced him. The whole thing was a disgrace
to the Porter family."
