Chapter 137
Madeline was arrogant and domineering under the bright lights.
She was also holding a snow–white rabbit in her arms, doting on it like it was everything.
Juliette felt Louis’s small hand grip hers tightly. His face was full of anger.
“Mommy, she’s bullying! Don’t listen to her!” said Louis.

Juliette touched Louis’s fluffy head, squatted down, and whispered, “I won’t listen to her. Begging her would mean losing our dignity. I’m a person with dignity and won’t beg her.”
She rarely brings Louis to watch the filming. She had wanted to enjoy the evening for the mother–son bonding, but now Madeline had ruined it. Juliette was furious.
“That’s good. Mommy, leave this matter to me. I’ll find a way to get them to leave. We can’t film tonight but can shoot the night scenes tomorrow night.”
“Okay, I trust you.” Juliette finished speaking with a smile and stood up, facing Madeline.
“Well? Have you thought about it? Bow and beg me!” said Madeline, stroking the rabbit in her arms repeatedly, loving it.
Juliette said, “The rabbit in your arms is beautiful, with snow–white fur. It looks fluffy.”
“Of course, this is a lop–eared rabbit bought from abroad.” Madeline was proud of her pet being praised.
“You don’t like dogs today and prefer rabbits instead?” Juliette sneered.
Madeline was stunned, then furious.
She felt Juliette was mocking her for liking dogs yesterday and rabbits today, being fickle and disloyal.
“What do you mean? Can’t I like dogs and rabbits at the same time?” Madeline said sharply.
“Well, that’s not it. I heard you have to hug the rabbit when you sleep. You treat the rabbit as if it were your daughter, customizing clothes and jewelry for her?”
“What? Are you jealous? My pets live more comfortably than you”
“I’m not jealous, just confirming if it’s true?”
Madeline raised her chin and said proudly, “My rabbit deserves the best treatment!”
“It even listens to the opera with you. Its treatment is good. But I suggest you take the rabbit home for a late–night snack. Rabbits don’t understand opera.”
“You want me to stop listening to the opera so that it’s easier for you to film? What a good plan, but Juliette, I’m not stupid. How could I not get your purpose? The more you want me to leave, the more I won’t, unless you bow and beg me.
“I heard the rent here is high–priced, and a day’s delay costs about 350 thousand dollars. You are filming to make money. You can’t lose millions of dollars before you make money, right
Madeline laughed.

Juliette also laughed. “So, you’re sure you want to keep listening to opera here, not leaving, right? You’re determined to affect our filming?”
“Yes! I still stand by what I said, unless you bow and beg me to leave!” Madeline’s expression became even more arrogant.
The rabbit in Madeline’s arms seemed to sense her anger and jumped out, rushing straight toward Louis.
Juliette’s eyes narrowed as she caught the rabbit. The rabbit tried to bite her hand, but she pinched it tightly. “Don’t touch my rabbit! You guys made it angry, that’s why it attacked. It’s protecting me!” said Madeline.
Madeline rushed forward and took her rabbit back, carefully holding it in her arms.
Looking at Madeline, Juliette suppressed the coldness in her eyes and suddenly smiled brightly.
“Hold your rabbit carefully and listen to the opera. Remember to hold it tight and don’t let it run away,” said Juliette.
Then she comforted Louis, took his hand, turned around, and left with her people.
Juliette did not bow or beg for mercy. Madeline’s face was filled with anger.
She stomped her feet fiercely and gritted her teeth. “Juliette Vaughn, you want to challenge me? Fine, I’ll let them sing here for half a year. Let’s see how you film your drama! In the end, you’ll still have to kneel before me!
“Keep singing! Use all the loudspeakers, and make your voice as loud as possible.”
Juliette turned around with Louis and told Enrique, “Go back tonight and let everyone rest well. We’ll shoot the night scene tomorrow night.”
Enrique said worriedly, “Judging by her action, she wouldn’t disband the troupe. Can we do the filming tomorrow night?” “Yes, we can. You guys go back and have a good rest. We can start tomorrow night,” Juliette said resolutely.
Enrique was a little surprised but couldn’t help but believe it.
So, the crew all went back to rest. They would start shooting again the next day.
The play next door was still going on.
After making sure Juliette’s people had left, Madeline yawned, hugged the rabbit, and went home to wash up and sleep. Juliette also drove Louis back to the hospital.
But halfway there, Louis said, “Mommy, it’s still early tonight. I want to accompany my great–grandma. Can you her house?”

Juliette did not answer him immediately. She was pondering whether there would be any danger if Louis went to his great- grandma’s house… Or would he do something behind her back?
“Okay. I’ll take you to your great–grandma’s house,” Juliette replied after a while.
At the next intersection, she drove to Constance’s house. Constance came to the door to meet Louis.
Juliette specifically told Constance, “It’s been very unsettled outside recently. Some people always want to hurt our family of

three, so I think Louis might be safer with you. Constance, please take care of Louis.”

Constance had seen the world. She understood immediately after hearing Juliette’s hint. “I will watch Louis and not let him run around.”
Louis originally wanted to sneak into the Clarke family.
He thought, ‘Let the Clarke family come forward to drive Madeline away, so as not to affect Mommy’s filming
However, Constance was watching Louis, and Louis couldn’t go anywhere.

to the Clarke family but could call them over.
‘Dad doesn’t allow me to ask the Clarke family for help, but he doesn’t forbid me from seeing them, thought Louis. So, in the middle of the night, Logan drove over and met Louis alone in the room.
“Uncle Logan, as long as you help me, I will persuade Dad to return to the Clarke family to inherit the family property when there is a chance,” Louis said with a serious expression.
Anyway, he would not persuade his dad if there was no chance.
Generally, there was no chance.
So he didn’t have to worry about breaking his promise to Logan
However, Logan believed Louis’s words, thinking Louis would not play tricks. In addition, he felt Patrick might change his mind with Louis’s persuasion.
So Logan agreed to Louis’s request. “I will go there and warn Madeline not to give your mom any more trouble. But you will fulfill your promise to me.”
Louis gave him a high five and said, “That’s a deal. Uncle Logan, it is a secret between us. Please don’t tell anyone.”
“Okay. It’s our secret. I will never tell it as long as you don’t tell it
It was getting late when Logan returned to Clarke Villa. He remembered he still had a program to write, so he immersed himself in writing the program and couldn’t extricate himself.
He finished his program after dawn. Then he remembered what he had promised Louis, so he drove to the Lowe family.
To him, it was just a matter of saying the word.
However, the effect would be better if he went to the Lowe family personally. The Lowe family wouldn’t dare to slack off.

no one answered. Instead, it automatically opened a crack.
Logan heard Madeline on the phone. Her voice broke down as she said, “Juliette, please let me go. I won’t dare to do it again.”
