Chapter 551

Half an hour later, in Manley’s bedroom.

After guzzling down his warm glass of milk, Manley suddenly felt his head spinning, and then there was chaos.

Sweat dripped down in the pitch-black night, and in his sleep, Manley thought he saw faceless specters dancing in the air..

With a start, Manley woke from the nightmare, clutching his throbbing head, and cried out towards the door, “Mommy! Mommy, where are you?”

The door slowly opened. With a click, the room was flooded with light.

Shivering, Manley looked towards the door and was stunned to see Yuna, dressed in a cream-colored nightgown, standing emotionlessly in the doorway.

Terrified by the nightmare, Manley staggered forward and quickly burrowed into Yuna’s arms.

His voice was trembling with fear and close to tears, “Mommy, my head hurts so bad! I’m

scared! Can I sleep with you tonight, please?”

Yuna paused for a moment, then, as if making a firm decision, she pushed Manley’s shoulders away, heartlessly sending him tumbling to the floor!

In an instant, a sharp pain shot up from his bottom, and Manley, clutching his buttock, looked up confused and pitifully called out,

Mommy?”

Yuna’s expression was stern as she leaned down and gripped Manley’s face harshly.

“I’m not your mommy, I’m Teresa’s mom, get it straight, my name is Marguerite!”

“Aunt Marguerite?”

Manley looked at the woman, trembling with fear and dread. Why would Marguerite be so… terrifying? She wasn’t like this when we were at the hospital the other day!

Manley was too frightened to speak, and the cold smirk on “Marguerite’s” face made him. shiver even more.

“Yes, I am Marguerite! Look at me well, I am Marguerite!” Yuna repeated, grinding her teeth, emphasizing each word to deepen Manley’s impression.

That hallucinogenic pill was meant for Manley!

It would greatly amplify his current emotions and temporarily impair his judgment.

Her sole purpose was for Manley to recount everything that happened tonight to Frederick!

So, she had bought a nightgown identical to Marguerite’s, and let her hair down intentionally.

She wanted Manley to believe that the woman who tormented him was Marguerite!

As Yuna’s face grew more and more sinister, Manley couldn’t hold back his tears and began to cry loudly!

Yuna clamped her hand over Manley’s mouth, hissing venomously, “Manley Winston, let me tell you, during the time at the hospital, I’ve realized you’re not as a good boy as Hayes!

You don’t know, do you? Your beloved daddy doesn’t love your mom at all! He loves me! When I marry your daddy, Teresa will be his daughter too!

When that time comes, your daddy will surely kick you and your mother out of Stonebridge City! He’ll make you both beggars, despised by everyone! Do you understand?”

Manley’s mouth was muffled by Yuna’s hand, he couldn’t speak, but he was terrified, his shoulders quivering, pitiful to the core!

Suddenly, Yuna felt a twinge of pity. Since Manley was born, she had never laid a hand on him!

But she had to be ruthless; if she wanted to get rid of that wretch Marguerite, she had to make Freddie aware of her viciousness through Manley’s words!

So, to make the act more convincing, Yuna tightened her grip on Manley’s hand. At that moment, the pain made Manley’s tears flow even more fiercely.

“Manley! Remember what I said today! In the Winston Mansion, you and your mom better tread carefully around me! Otherwise, I won’t let you off so easily!”

With that, Yuna released Manley and gave him one final shove before leaving without a trace of compassion!

Manley curled up on the floor, still clutching his aching head, now more afraid than ever…
