Chapter 1484 - Chapter 1484 370 Tearing Apart The Mistress By Hand_1

Chapter 1484: 370: Tearing Apart The Mistress By Hand!_1 Chapter 1484: 370: Tearing Apart The Mistress By Hand!_1 Phoebe Perryne thought for a long time.

She felt that Norma Augus was right.

If Mrs. Perryne were still lucid now, she would definitely approve of this.

After all, Mrs. Perryne’s greatest hope in life was to see Mary Perryne get her just deserts.

Seeing her mother finally nod, Norma Augus was overjoyed and continued, “Okay, you can just listen to me from now on.”

Phoebe Perryne didn’t have any excessive facial expressions, and she turned her head to glance at Mrs. Perryne lying on the bed. A moment passed, and she sighed.

Despite making the decision, she still felt somewhat apologetic towards her mother.

Norma Augus grasped Phoebe Perryne’s hand, “Mom, I believe that grandma will be pleased at this moment.”

“Mmm.”

Norma Augus did not say anything more; she picked up her cell phone and dialed the Perryne family’s number.

Norma Augus only had the landline number for the Perryne family. The person who picked up was the housekeeper.

“Hello, this is Norma Augus. I have a very important matter to discuss with my uncle and aunt. Could you please transfer the call for me?”

Mary Perryne was conveniently out of the house. The housekeeper transferred the call to Sawyer Thompson.

Sawyer Thompson picked up the phone, “Norma, you sound very urgent. Your aunt is not home right now. What’s the matter?”

Norma Augus organized her thoughts, and then replied, “Uncle, my grandmother’s illness has worsened. The doctor says that she may not be able to hold on for too many more days. I have something to discuss with my aunt. Could you let me know when she will be home so that I can call back then?”

Sawyer Thompson had always refrained from intervening in the affairs of Mary Perryne’s family, nor did he ever make any decisions without consulting Mary Perryne.

Regardless of the decisions made by Mary, he would unconditionally support her.

Upon hearing this, Sawyer Thompson glanced at the clock hung on the wall before replying, “Probably around 8 o’clock tonight.”

Norma Augus maintained her gentle voice, “Alright, I’ll call back later in the evening.”

As soon as Norma hung up the phone, Phoebe couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “How did it go? Did Mary Perryne refuse you?”

Norma shook her head, “Mary Perryne is not home. She will be back at eight.”

Phoebe squinted her eyes.

Soon, it was eight o’clock.

Mary Perryne’s footsteps could be heard outside the door on time.

Sawyer Thompson, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa, glanced up, “She’s back.”

“Mmm.”

Sawyer pushed his glasses up and said, “Norma called earlier and said she needs to talk to you.”

Norma Augus?

Upon hearing this name, Mary Perryne squinted her eyes.

“What does she want with me?”

Just as Sawyer was about to say something, the telephone rang on cue.

Mary set down her bag, walked over and picked up the phone.

“Hello.”

As expected, Norma’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Good evening, Aunt. It’s Norma.”

Even though Mary detested Ethel Guarino and Phoebe, she had never taken her anger out on Norma.

Firstly, children can’t choose their birth circumstances.

Secondly, both Ethel Guarino and Phoebe – one being Norma’s grandmother, and the other being her biological mother – it was unlikely for Norma to sever ties with these two close relatives over the issues from so many years ago.

Therefore, though Mary did not project her anger onto Norma, she never managed to feel affection towards this estranged niece.

Thankfully, Norma had been abroad these past few years with little contact with the Thompson Clan.

“Norma, what do you need from me?” Mary asked.

Norma continued, “Aunt, I really couldn’t think of any other way. My grandmother is very ill now and may be in danger at any time. The doctor said that only Viola could possibly treat my grandmother. Could we…”

At this point, Norma paused. She had thought that Mary would rage and flat out refuse, but to her surprise, Mary didn’t interrupt her or get angry. She was calm, even going so far as to ask, “Could we do what? Norma, you really should elaborate when you speak.”

Norma squinted her eyes, and then continued, “Aunt, could you and Viola please come and see my grandmother? Regardless of how things stand, she is still Viola’s grandmother.”

If they were to abandon even their own grandmother, how could they still call themselves doctors?

How could they still call themselves human!

Surprisingly, Mary did not get angry. She just responded flatly, “Norma, you must have remembered wrong. Our Viola’s grandmother was a hard-luck woman who passed away before the age of 50.”

“Aunt, you shouldn’t say such things. It’s been so many years already. If you have any resentment, you should have let go already.”

Mary spoke with a gentleness in her tone, her calm voice delivering the most poignant of remarks, “Even though so many years have passed, a mistress is still a mistress. Time cannot wash clean the revolting deeds some people have done.”
