Chapter 190 He Is Only Putting You On
With those words, Harriet had exposed Marilyn thoroughly, laying her evilness bare.
Refusing to hide anymore, the latter blurted, “Yes! So what if I was the one who killed Samuel?”
Her eyes were scarlet red as she stared at Harriet intently and spat bitterly, “It was because he refused to divorce me. I begged him many times, but he just would not agree to it! How could he be so selfish? He clearly knew I dated Armand for thirteen years, and I only married him impulsively. Yet, he refused to let me go…”
Marilyn cried, “I know I have made mistakes, but who hasn’t?”
She looked pitiful as tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
“I just want to be together with the man I love! What’s wrong with that?” Marilyn questioned Harriet, “Didn’t you marry the man you love too?
I wouldn’t have done that if Samuel didn’t refuse to let me go… I could not be with Mando if he refused to divorce me.”
Harriet merely sounded Marilyn out to test her suspicions and never expected the latter to be the culprit. “Y-You… Marilyn, how dare you!”
How dare she say these words so shamelessly after murdering Samuel! She doesn’t even think she has done something wrong!
Marilyn was a clever woman, so she instantly caught on after seeing Harriet’s expression.
Her face turned slightly cold as she used her finger to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Samuel had to die for stopping me from being together with Mando! You don’t have to waste your breath because I won’t return to Xedells. I’ll stay in Jadeborough and by Mando’s side. I know he loves me.”
“Grandma, do you really think Mando genuinely wanted to marry Genevieve?” Marilyn had a smug look on her face as she leaned toward Harriet and revealed, “He’s only putting you on! I’ll let you in on this—Genevieve has the Phnull blood type.”
At the sight of the latter’s changed expression, a smile played on her lips. “That’s right. That’s my blood type. This blood type is so rare. In the entire world, only a few people have it. Why did Mando marry a woman with the same blood type as me? It’s because…”
Marilyn continued softly, “He’s worried something untoward will happen to me during delivery.
Genevieve is merely a living blood bank that Mando found for me.” Every word she uttered hit a nerve in Harriet.
“Oh right, I also don’t mind telling you this. I spilled hot water on Genevieve’s leg on purpose that day because I envied her for being together with Mando.”
As she spoke, she even flashed Harriet a provocative smile. “Mando knew about that. That’s why he scolded Genevieve instead. You saw it yourself.”
Harriet was so enraged that she was unable to form a sentence for a long time. All she could do was glare at Marilyn.
She knew it was no accident when Armand chose Genevieve and that they must have made a deal between them.
However, it never crossed her mind that Armand had made such a plan.
Needless to say, Marilyn was delighted beyond words when she saw Harriet’s reaction. “Grandma, you thought your plan was perfect, didn’t you? I bet you didn’t expect you were the one who was kept in the dark, right? Mando is mine, and he only loves me. I know this better than anyone else.
I know Mando holds you in high esteem, so he treats you respectfully. However, we shall see who’ll be the one to go to Xedells if you dare to upset me again,” she threatened.
“You insolent wretch!” Harriet thundered.
Marilyn chuckled. “So what if I’m insolent? Mando loves me the most, so he will always tolerate my insolence. You’d better keep this in mind. Otherwise, once you go to Xedells, I’ll burn all the sycamore trees and ask Mando to plant my favorite flowers here himself!”
Angered by her complacent demeanor, Harriet pointed her index finger at her as she breathed heavily and rapidly.
All of a sudden, her breathing ceased, her body went stiff, and she collapsed onto the couch.
The smile on Marilyn’s disappeared instantly, and she leaned over. “Grandma?”
The elderly woman’s eyes were wide open, but she was unresponsive. Thus, she put her finger under Harriet’s nose and was so shocked that she backpedaled and nearly fell to the floor.
