Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 521

Tilly stood up straight and said seriously, "And...I also want to thank you. Just now, if you hadn't pulled me from behind in time, I would probably be lying in the hospital's emergency room now. My arms and legs might have been broken. Maybe my head would have been hit and gone nuts too. Anyway... Thanks!"

In the end, Tilly bowed to Wendy again.

Wendy noticed that people around occasionally looked at them from time to time. She was thus very embarrassed. This was a hospital afterall, and most people here were worried about the medical expenses. Wendy did not want to give others wrong impressions that she was an usury. She quickly pulled Tilly to a quieter place on the side.

She raised her hand to her forehead. "I'll just barely accept it."

"It was all my fault in the past! I ran to the office to seduce Brother Charlie; I plotted against you, and made you and Francis into lying on the same bed in the hotel; I instructed the servant to add some laxative to the soup to be drunk by you. I sincerely apologize to you for all those things!" Tilly paused, and then quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wendy's two hands. "But there is one thing I hope that you will believe me! I don't really want to harm you. What I gave to the servant that day was really laxative, but later the laxative was secretively replaced with rat poison. Although I feel that I was framed that day, and have someone to suspect, I don't have any solid evidence at hand. I can't rashly put the blame on others!"

Wendy listened to Tilly in silence.

In fact, when she was stopped by Tilly that day when she almost drank the soup with rat poison, Wendy almost wanted to believe Tilly's words.

Tilly raised her chin and looked a little stubborn and proud. "I don't want to deny what I have done, but I will never admit what I have not done. I was just angry about you. You complained to Grandpa that I plotted against you and Francis, and then Grandpa scolded me for that. He also ordered me to apologize to you. I just wanted to retaliate, and cause you to suffer a little!"

"I complained to Grandpa?" Wendy was stunned and said with a puzzled face, "I didn't..."

"Didn't you tell Grandpa that?" Tilly was also stunned.

Then, she came to her senses after a while.

If it was not Wendy who had complained to her Grandpa, who else could it be?

Tilly suddenly remembered that she did not reveal her plot of laxative to any second person except Madge. Some thoughts flashed in her mind. It must be Madge who told the old master what had happened. The reason was very simple. She intended to stir up a worse relationship between Tilly and Wendy, and take advantage of them as a hidden third party...

Tilly suddenly realized Madge's intention, and immediately felt that she like a fool. Madge had been using her as a tool and weapon all the time.

What a good idea to use Tilly as a tool and weapon at the same time!

Old Master Eduardo Gray had only one son and one daughter, Kim Gray and Jazmin Gray. Kim's only daughter was Madge, while Jazmin's only daughter was Tilly. Tilly had grown up under Madge's shadow. No matter family members of the Gray family or outsiders, they would always compare Tilly and Madge to each other. In most cases, Madge was the winner.

Although Tilly was unhappy about such comparisons, she did not think much of it. After all, Madge was her cousin. After thinking about it carefully, Tilly had recently realized that Madge treated her more like a tool to be utilized, rather than a younger cousin to be cherished. Whenever there was any gift for the children, Madge was always the first child to get it, and it was then Tilly's turn.

What's more, in the banquet that year, the two of them both fell in love with Charlie. Tilly even foolishly told Madge that she had a secret crush on Charlie. What happened in the end?

After the engagement between the Gray family and the Hogg family was settled, Madge came to Tilly in person and told the latter that Charlie was now her fiance, that she could only be his cousin-in-law in the future. "The only thing for you to do now is to study hard, and never think of becoming Charlie's lover again," Madge told Tilly.

Tilly did not feel anything particularly unacceptable before, but after reflecting upon their relationship, Tilly now shuddered. Weren't these things done by Madge mean and hypocritical?

After seeing through the truth that Madge was a hypocrite, Tilly felt extremely clear-headed now. She said to Wendy resolutely, "You can rest assured that I will no longer pester Brother Charlie. I will take back all my previous words which are inappropriate. I will bear the pain and let go! I only hope that you will always be nice to Brother Charlie and be happy with him in the future; otherwise, I will definitely blame you for not having tried hard enough!"

"Have you really...given up?" Wendy asked uncertainly.

"If you don't believe me, I can swear it!" Tilly replied adamantly.

In fact, Tilly's mindset was the same as Francis's. She had already had the idea of giving up after what happened in the hotel that day.

On the very day, Charlie did not even frown for a second, and did not ask anybody what had happened. He simply trusted Wendy unconditionally. This signified that that he must love her very much. Although Tilly had since then always mentioned that she would not give up, that she wanted Charlie back, but examining her own conscience and asking herself, "Even if I really won Charlie's love, would Charlie love me as deeply as he loved Wendy?"

Tilly was lacking in confidence in this regard, and therefore she had decided to give up.

In fact, for her, Charlie was more like a dream when Tilly was still a young girl. She instantly fell in love with him when she saw him for the first time at a party. Later, Charlie became Madge's fiance, and Tilly's future cousin-in-law. She could only hide her feelings deep in her heart. Many years later, after hearing that the engagement was canceled, Tilly almost rushed back to her motherland, hoping that she might someday win Charlie's heart. Maybe it was just a dream which would never come true!

Seeing the suspicion in Wendy's eyes, Tilly raised her hand directly to the side of her head. "I, Tilly King, swear to God that if I do anything indecent to Brother Charlie again and do something harmful to the relationship between Charlie and Wendy, let me go to hell!"

Wendy was stunned.

Although such an oath consisted only of words, Tilly was sincere and determined while saying them. It seemed that she had really made up her mind.

When Tilly was about to raise her hand again, Wendy quickly stopped her and said, "Stop swearing. I trust you..."

"Really?" Tilly asked with joy.

"My trust on you is more real than real gold..." Wendy said with a look of admiration.

Tilly's facial expression was very bright when she heard this. She smiled, and then a row of small white teeth was revealed. "Okay, let's turn hostility into friendship!"

Wendy looked down at Tilly's arm which was tightly wrapping hers, and shook her head helplessly. "Why do I feel like I've tamed a kitten..."

Tilly's head suddenly moved closer to Wendy's. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Wendy, you'd better be more careful. Madge was the one who asked me to come back home!" Wendy was astonished.

A chilly feeling ran down her spine. She had not expected that Madge was plotting against her in the darkness.

Then, suddenly realizing something, Wendy raised her eyebrows again. "Hey, Miss King, you should call me Sister Wendy anyway, shouldn't you?"

"No!" Tilly refused her directly. She felt embarrassed and blushed. "I'll just call you Wendy! I have no friend in England, and I also have no friend at home. Why don't we just be besties!"

"Besties?"

While Tilly was looking at her expectantly just like a lovely little rabbit, Wendy nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry over Tilly's words.

In fact, Wendy did not have many friends too. Emily Sam, who was the closest to her, had gone to South Africa. She really did not have any besty now in Ice city. If she could have one more intimate friend like Tilly, it would be something worth celebrating!
