Chapter 736

Glynnis‘ heart skipped a beat as Thaddeus walked into the room. She suddenly felt like a comered mouse, desperately wishing she could scurry away into the shadows and disappear.

Frederic’s aloof gaze swept over Thaddeus‘ stern face before he quickly got to his feet.

“Dad, why didn’t you give me a heads–up? I would have come to meet you,” Frederic said as he approached.

“I’m not a guest here, this is my house. Why would I need any pomp and circumstance from Mr. Frederic? Hamilton Abernathy snorted coldly; he was never one to mince words with his only son.

Frederic’s expression darkened a shade.

The old man’s words were a clear reminder that Windermere Estate didn’t belong to him but to his father. Living here wouldn’t make him the lord of the manor.

“Grandpa, I heard that Marilla’s been recuperating under your care. How is she doing?” Glynnis asked with a tight voice; standing behind Frederic, she tried to play the role of a concerned elder sister.

“She’s much better, eating like a horse,” Hamilton replied, before looking curiously at Thaddeus. Thaddeus, you’ve brought me back to Windermere Estate, and dragged your father along. Is there something you need to tell us?”

Thaddeus gently adjusted the cashmere throw on his grandfather’s knees, with his eyes narrowing slightly. “Aren’t you curious to know who’s been conspiring with Fairhaven Group behind the scenes and leaking Marilla’s psychiatric reports? Dad, don’t you also want to know who’s been backstabbing Abernathy Enterprises?

His gaze turned sharp as a blade, and it was zeroing in on Glynnis, whose face twisted with fear.

“Why are you looking at me like that?!” Glynnis exclaimed; a sense panic caused her to retreat step by step until she knocked over the expensive tea set on the coffee table. “What are you implying? You think I leaked it? Don’t pin this on me just because you can’t find the real culprit!”

The Abernathy father and son stared at Glynnis in a dumbfounded look.

Hamilton’s eyes widened as he gripped his wheelchair armrests tighter. Thaddeus, are you saying that Glynnis colluded with Fairhaven Group and harmed Marilla?!”

Frederic looked sternly at Thaddeus. “This is a serious allegation, Thaddeus. Marilla is your sister, and so is Glynnis. Even if you dislike her, you can’t falsely accuse her without evidence, especially when she’s had a falling out with Evadne Ashbourne.”

Glynnis seized the opportunity to shift the blame. “Yes! You’re just trying to curry favor with Evadne, that’s all!”

Meanwhile, the unwitting Evadne sneezed and thought to herself, “Who’s cursing me now?”
