Chapter 1847
When Bertha and Lea arrived at the hotel, Thaddeus had just received the news of Sophia’s arrest and was on his
way out to rescue her.
Upon opening the door, Bertha and Lea blocked the entrance,
Thaddeus paused. “Bertha, you’re back? Is your best friend discharged from the hospital? Never mind, I have
something to handle. Take Lea in first, and we’ll talk when I get back.”
Bertha frowned. “Where are you going? Are you planning on bailing out that ruthless daughter of yours?”.
After hearing this, Thaddeus stopped and stared at his wife. “You have already known that?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBertha grumbled, “She’s done such a heinous act! Why are you bailing her out? If you do, she won’t realize her
mistake, and she will feel even more invincible! She’ll just keep doing as she pleases!”
Thaddeus rubbed his temples. “Bertha, Sophia might be a bit willful, but she’s not as outrageous as you claim. This
time, I suspect she was framed by that Ellinor, so I need to get her out.”
Bertha exhaled in frustration. “Framed by who? Ellinor acted within the bounds of the law, but what about your
daughter? She threw sulfuric acid at her! That’s acid, not tap water! She clearly intended to harm Ellinor! This is the
work of your precious daughter! And yet, you still intend to rescue her?! If you save her this time, next she might
commit murder!”
Thaddeus was speechless. “But…”
Bertha grabbed Thaddeus’s arm. “Listen to me; don’t interfere. Let her face the consequences of her actions; only
then will she understand the gravity of what she has done. Thaddeus, you can’t keep spoiling her, do you
understand? To indulge a child is to ruin them!”
Thaddeus took a deep breath and closed his eyes to compose himself. “Bertha, you’re right! I’ve failed her. If I had
disciplined her properly, then she wouldn’t have committed such an act.”
Bertha patted his arm, hoping her husband could see reason. “There are more things we need to talk about. Come
in.”
A calmer Thaddeus followed Bertha back into the suite.
“Bertha, what’s the matter? Speak up. There’s nothing I can’t handle now.” Thaddeus sat on the couch, rubbing his
temples anxiously.
Bertha sat down next to him with their younger daughter and sighed heavily. “Thaddeus, Marcus has returned to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Blanchet family. He’s remembered his past, his legs have recovered, and he’s now with Ellinor.”
Thaddeus paused, but was not surprised. “Hmm, I figured. Ever since Sophia said he was missing, I had a hunch.”
Bertha continued, “Now that Marcus is back with the Blanchets, he will inevitably come after you and Sophia for
what happened these past three years. You need to be prepared.”
Thaddeus grunted irritably. “So what if he wants to settle scores? Am I supposed to be afraid?”
Bertha looked at her husband, feeling a sense of sorrow. “The Marcus back with the Blanchets is not the same man
who used to be pushed around; he is Mr. Blanchet, and he has the means to deal with you. Thaddeus, we are the
ones at fault, so perhaps we should apologize before they come knocking. Ellinor has not only saved my life, but
she’s also Marlinie’s long-lost daughter. They might be more forgiving for Marlinie’s sake.”
Thaddeus’ brows furrowed. “What? Apologize to them?”
