Chapter 1124 Foolish
As Mr. McDaniel heard these words, his face changed drastically.
Clay, who hadn't dared to open his mouth since he was rebuked by the Old Madam, blanched at that.
He hurriedly looked at the Old Madam beside him with an anxious expression.
Clay thought, 'We're finished. These two ladies know Erin's feelings for Julien.'
Mr. McDaniel was also a bit flustered, but after all, he was aged and experienced, so he quickly calmed down, clenched his fists, and forced a smile. "Felicia, you must be joking. How could I possibly have such thoughts?"
"Since we've said so much, stop pretending. We've known your granddaughter's feelings for Mr. Julien for many years. After all, she can't take her eyes off him every time they meet. It is just too obvious to be ignored." Felicia rolled her eyes contemptuously. "Mr. McDaniel, everyone knows how much you dote on your granddaughter. No matter what she wants, you will try to satisfy her. Now that she likes Mr. Julien, of course, you support her. Mr. Julien and Ms. Raines are together, so you want to sow discord between the Old Madam and Ms. Raines and use the Old Madam to break up Mr. Julien and Ms. Raines. In this way, you can help your granddaughter get together with Mr. Julien."
Mr. McDaniel and Clay opened their mouths, but they were completely speechless at that moment.
They had thought that the Old Madam and Felicia knew Erin's feelings for Julien by guessing.
Unexpectedly, the Old Madam and Felicia saw through Erin's mind years ago.
In that case, what Mr. McDaniel had just said was indeed ridiculous.
For a while, Mr. McDaniel felt embarrassed and regretted being too impulsive just now.
Indeed, just as the Old Madam said, he came here to persuade the Old Madam to plead with Sydney and Julien for his family. If the Old Madam could convince Sydney and Julien to forgive them, that would be the best.
In other words, the first thing was to ease the tension between them and Julien. As for breaking up Julien and Sydney, they were not in a hurry about this matter.
At that time, Mr. McDaniel couldn't help but say some words to discredit Sydney, wanting to make the Old Madam persuade Julien to forgive them and break up with Sydney at the same time.
Mr. McDaniel had never thought that Old Madam would value Sydney so much.
Most importantly, the Old Madam actually knew that Erin liked Julien, so what Mr. McDaniel had said just now not only exposed his purpose but also made him a fool before the Old Madam.
He made a very stupid move.
Just as Mr. McDaniel was regretting, the Old Madam took the cane from Felicia and suddenly said, "Also, do you really think I don't know what happened online today?"
Mr. McDaniel and Clay were once again shocked.
Mr. McDaniel met Old Madam's mocking eyes. "I just pretended to be unaware of it, wanting to know what you would say, but in the end, what did I hear? Your distortion of the facts. I know this matter very clearly. Although I live in the old residence, I'm well-informed. Your granddaughter didn't slander Syd on the Internet to get justice for Julien at all. It was just because she liked Julien. She wanted to play tricks to make Julien break up with Syd, so she framed Syd for cheating on Julien to create a chance for herself. To cover up for your granddaughter, you said she had done all that to get justice for Julien. How laughable!"
"Moreover, he said that as soon as he came here, clearly treating us as fools." Felicia supported the Old Madam and glanced at Mr. McDaniel with contempt.
Mr. McDaniel's face turned livid as he glared at them. "So you guys pretended to be ignorant about that just to see me humiliate myself?"
The Old Madam twisted her lips. "Seeing you humiliate yourself? I'm not that idle. I just wanted to see whether you were honest or not. If you had told the truth from the beginning, I might have thought highly of you and felt your sincerity. However, you lied to me and took me as a fool! So why should I respect you? Just go back. I won't agree to your request. I'm not bad enough to advise the two victims to forgive the culprit."
"The Old Madam is right." Felicia rolled her eyes. "And you guys didn't even bring a gift when you came for a favor. You just wanted to take advantage of the Old Madam. Moreover, you and your family are all despicable. Your granddaughter wants to steal someone else’s boyfriends. You, as her grandfather, instead of educating her, supported her and tried to help her like a pimp. You guys are so disgusting. We would like to see Mr. Julien break with you. If he keeps getting involved with you, he may be corrupted."
"You... You guys..." Mr. McDaniel stood up and pointed at Felicia, shaking with anger. He couldn't even finish his words.
Felicia snorted, "Shut up. Someone, see the guests off."
"Yes." The servant guarding the entrance of the main hall heard Felicia's command and immediately walked in. He made a gesture to Mr. McDaniel and Clay, signaling them to leave with him.
Mr. McDaniel was unwilling to leave just like that, but he didn't dare to stay and cause trouble here. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
After all, he still wanted to make up with Julien rather than make Julien angrier with them.
So at that moment, even though Mr. McDaniel was reluctant, he could only leave with Clay.
Soon, only Felicia and the Old Madam remained in the main hall.
Felicia straightened the jacket on the Old Madam and said in a disdainful tone, "These two scoundrels are finally gone. It was really unlucky for Mr. Julien to find such a person to be his teacher."
"Julien's preferred teacher died in an accident, so he could only choose Mr. McDaniel. If Julien had not been urged to take over the Flint Corporation, he would have had the time to look for other teachers. How would he have picked Mr. McDaniel?" The Old Madam gathered her jacket.
Felicia helped her toward the main hall entrance. "No matter what, Mr. McDaniel helped Mr. Julien, but after so many years, Mr. Julien benefited the McDaniel family so much. He has returned the favor. It's a good thing to break with them after this incident."
"Yeah, we have to thank Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter," the Old Madam said.
Felicia smiled, "True enough, but Ms. Raines suffered."
The Old Madam looked at Felicia and instructed, "Prepare some gifts for Syd tomorrow and tell her not to think too much. Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter has nothing to do with Julien. The two are not even familiar with each other."
Felicia nodded. "Okay, I'll do it, but I don't think Ms. Raines will think too much about it, and Mr. Julien will definitely explain it to Ms. Raines."
"That's Julien's own business. As elders, we should speak up for Julien so that Syd can trust him more."
"You're right. I'll have someone deliver the gifts tomorrow morning."
"Good," the Old Madam responded.
