Chapter 138
‘What?‘ thought Logan.
A hint of doubt flashed through Logan’s eyes.

He thought again, ‘Madeline often comes to the Clarke family as a guest, so I knew something about her temper.
‘She is arrogant and flamboyant. She refuses to take losses and never bows her head.
‘Now she’s begging Juliette to let her go?‘
Logan thought he had heard wrong for a moment.
The maid was also dumbfounded and thought, ‘When has Madeline ever been so humble?
The two of them listened for a while longer and confirmed Madeline was indeed begging Juliette to let her go. It was not acting but being truly sincere.
The maid wanted to knock on the door and signal Madeline a member of the Clarke family had arrived, but Logan raised his hand to signal the maid not to knock. He even helped close Madeline’s door.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Clarke? Miss Madeline will be delighted if she knows you’re here to see her,” the maid said puzzled.
“It seems Miss Madeline is not in a good state to see visitors today. I suddenly remembered I had something urgent to attend to. I won’t see her today but another day.”
Then Logan left, and the maid couldn’t stop him at all.
Logan had heard Madeline beg Juliette to let her go, which meant Juliette’s trouble had been resolved, so he didn’t need to see Madeline.
As for what made Madeline suddenly change her attitude toward Juliette, and completely from abuser to beggar, Logan didn’t care, nor was he curious.
The problem was solved, and he had to go back and write new programs.

At that moment, Madeline huddled under the covers in her princess–style room. Her whole body was trembling.
No one could have imagined how terrified she was when she got up in the morning and saw the state of her room.
Her favorite lop–eared rabbit, the one she slept with in her arms last night, was nestled in her arms when she woke up in the morning, but its head and body were separated.
Her hands were covered in the rabbit’s blood.
She screamed in fright, threw the dead rabbit away, and shouted hysterically.
Madeline, who had always been slow–witted, suddenly became sharp.
She immediately thought of what Juliette had said last night, that she should hold her rabbit tight so it wouldn’t run away.

She determined on the spot Juliette killed her rabbit.
She was filled with hatred, wanting to confront Juliette immediately and demand her rabbit back.

She also wanted to run to Patrick and tell him about Juliette’s horrific actions. Let him know what a cruel person Juliette was.
Her feet had touched the ground, ready to go out. Then she noticed her white princess nightdress was stained with a lot of rabbit blood, looking horrifying.
There was rabbit fur on her body. The rabbit fur was also covered in blood, which was disgusting.
And she accidentally stepped on the rabbit’s corpse.
That icy touch made her jump away. The blood in her body seemed to turn cold instantly, and her sanity briefly returned.
She remembered her family lived in a villa with surveillance cameras and an alarm system. Her room was in the center of the villa, the best location.
If Juliette’s man wanted to get in, he would have to pass through layers of surveillance and could easily trigger the alarm. However, her rabbit was killed. Its head separated from its body right in her arms.
It meant Juliette’s man had bypassed layers of surveillance without triggering any alarms in the villa. They had quietly come to her room and killed the rabbit right beside her. She hadn’t noticed a thing.
In other words, if the man who sneaked into the room last night wanted to kill her, then… it would be her who was dead now, not the rabbit.
Killing the rabbit was just a warning.
Madeline shuddered.
She stood there for a long time, feeling cold all over. Fear made her hair stand on end.
She almost died last night.
It was just that the man who entered her room wasn’t aiming to kill her.
Madeline completely broke down after she was clear–headed. Fear consumed her. She quickly called Juliette and begged for mercy, which Logan happened to hear.
Logan came and left, and she didn’t notice at all. She was completely lost in her fear, crying so hard.
“I know you did it. Juliette, I won’t dare to do it again. I swear.” Madeline cried.
Juliette’s indifferent voice came from the phone. “That rabbit was so cute. It’s a pity it died like that. You loved it so much, and you even slept holding it. You left it behind, it would be lonely, wouldn’t it?”
She was indifferent and cold.
Madeline shuddered again and tearfully said, “I will immediately have those people withdraw. Your people can shoot normally. I won’t sabotage you again.”
“We couldn’t shoot normally for two nights. It delayed our progress and wasted a lot of rent on the film studio.

Madeline’s tears were still falling, but she said quickly, “Give me the bill. I’ll pay you double!”
Juliette was silent for a few seconds.
Madeline became even more anxious. “I truly will pay double!”

“My people will arrive at your door in three minutes. Come downstairs and sign the contract. Double compensation,” Juliette said.
Madeline was stunned.
Once again she felt how terrible Juliette was. Juliette even anticipated her reaction.
Madeline was also glad she had just thought of it. Otherwise, she didn’t know what would happen to her tomorrow.
Juliette… was a witch.
Madeline quickly changed, put on her coat, and went downstairs with her hair disheveled. Her tears were still on her face when she saw someone arrive with a contract.
It clearly stated that she, Madeline, had delayed the filming progress of the production team and was willing to pay double the compensation for the loss. The amount and bank card number were written.
At that time, Madeline was no longer as arrogant as he had been the night before.
She signed and paid the money obediently.
Juliette had breakfast with Louis at eight o’clock in the morning. She prepared to go to the hospital to accompany Patrick. After putting Louis in the child safety seat, she casually called Daphne.
“Is there a deposit in the company account?” asked Juliette.
Daphne said, “Yes, I just got the news. It was from Lemo. Amazing. I heard her clamor on the set last night, asking you to bow and beg her. Otherwise, she would not let our team continue filming.
“Maybe she had a nightmare last night, knowing she would be punished for doing bad things. She came to her senses this morning and transferred us money as compensation, right?”
Juliette hung up the phone, and Louis immediately asked sweetly, “Mommy, are you talking about the hateful woman from last night?”
“Yes. She asked someone to remove the stage and compensate us for our losses. I can take you to see the filming tonight.” Louis smiled brightly. “Mommy, are you happy?”
“Yes, I am. Louis, you are my lucky star. With you, I can solve any difficulties.”
Louis was delighted. He thought, ‘My uncle is still reliable and solved it quickly. We get compensation. Mommy is happy, so
am I
