Chapter 1624
Julie took a deep breath and strode into Madam Stockton’s room.
There was only one lamp on in the room, and the windows were shut tight. No one outside could see what was
happening inside.
Caprice should have left with Queenie, so only Madam Stockton was alone in the room. She had the oxygen mask
over her face and she looked paler, seemingly weaker than before.
Julie went closer to her and looked at her.
“Mother, don’t blame me. I am doing this for your own good.” She bent over and continued with a vicious. grin,
“Rather than hanging on a thread, why don’t I send you to the afterlife? Am I right?”

Stockton’s face. Her hands were slightly shaking while she held the oxygen mask in the air. Her eyes stared at
Madam Stockton.
After a while, nothing changed. Madam Stockton looked as pale and weak as before, but there were no signs that
she had passed.
Some confusion and hesitation later, Julie lifted her hand to Madam Stockton’s nose to check if she was still
breathing.
The moment her finger got close to the nose, Madam Stockton, who should be unconscious, opened her eyes and
stared at her.
Julie’s hand shook, and her eyes widened.
“Argh!” she screamed. She nervously tossed the oxygen mask on the floor and staggered backward in fear. Her
face turned pale as she stared at the awakening Madam Stockton in horror.
What happened? Should Madam Stockton not be in a comatose state? Why would she open her eyes?
Just when Julie thought she was having an illusion, Madam Stockton said, “What are you doing to me, Julie?” She
sounded hoarse but frosty.
Julie widened her eyes in shock. “M-Mother? You’re awake?”
Madam Stockton simply stared at her in silence. The sharp gaze stated that she already knew what Julie was doing
to her.
Julie’s expression shifted multiple times. Her nervous gaze suddenly showed a hint of viciousness.
She strode back to the bed and reached out to Madam Stockton’s mouth and nose, attempting to suffocate her.
She could not afford to let the old lady live. She must kill her!

Just when her hands managed to cover Madam Stockton’s nose and mouth, a loud thud sounded. The balcony door
was kicked open. The glass on the door almost shattered due to the sudden force.
Julie was shocked. She looked at the balcony door and saw a pair of terrifying and furious eyes.
It was John.
Julie froze. She screamed in disbelief, “J-John?”
John glared at her coldly.
Queenie was beside him and she, too, glared at Julie coldly.
At the same time, the main door opened and Emerence came in.
Mia, who was hiding behind the entrance, was apprehended by the bodyguards, and her mouth was taped. All she
could do was look at Julie in fear.
Fear devoured Julie. Her body shook terribly.
Queenie strode over to the bed and helped Madam Stockton up.
