Chapter 3 - Wills
Old Madam Ganke sauntered into Leon's home along with her personal driver. She walked without making a sound, trying to find out what was really going on inside her beloved grandson's house.
"Finally, that stupid Anne left too," said a maid who was cleaning Leon's room. She was talking quite loudly with the other maids. ??
"Yes, that's right. Finally, that shameless woman went away so Miss Stefany and Mr. Leon can get married as soon as possible," replied the other maid with laughter.
Old Madam Ganke's blood stirred at the words of the maid in her grandson's house. She could not believe that the maids dared to speak like that to their lady of the house.
The old lady quickly came out of hiding and stood behind the two maids cleaning Steffany's sexy lingerie from the bed.
"So this is what you have been doing all this time, supporting the wicked vixen and helping drive away the real mistress of this house," snapped Mrs. Ganke in a rising voice.
"Old Madame."
"Madame, please forgive us... We didn't mean it."
The two maids who talked badly about Marianne immediately fell to their knees when they saw Mrs. Chaterine, the old Madam. They knew how firm she was.
"Tell me what happened without the slightest lie," said Mrs. Chaterine coldly.
"Yes, Madame ..." answered the two maids at the same time.
The two maids also told her from the beginning about Leon and Marianne's fake relationship. They only pretended to be husband and wife in front of the old Madam. When she heard the words of the two maids, Mrs. Ganke's blood instantly boiled. She didn't think that her favorite grandson had deceived her.
"Since when was Leon having an affair with that woman?" Asked Mrs. Chaterine, looking visibly upset.
"Since the young master married the young mistress. Even, on the wedding night, the young master had invited Miss Stefany to go to the hotel leaving the young mistress alone at home," replied the red-haired maid with a stutter.
"So, he has hurt my dear Anne for a long time," said Mrs. Chaterine softly.
"Forgive us, Madam. We only obey what the young master told us to do," said the two maids fearfully.
"You take it easy. I will deal with Leon. Now, tell me, where is Anne n?" Asked Mrs. Chaterine with a worried tone.
"The young mistress left last night during a pouring rain when the young master brought Miss Stefany home, Madam," answered the younger maid in response to Mrs. Ganke's question.
Hearing the answers from the two maids made Catherine Ganke look very surprised. She did not expect that her beloved grandson had actually done the most disgusting thing as a man.
She left Leon's house to look for Marianne, her granddaughter-in-law, along with her personal driver. The old Madam of the Ganke family was even more convinced by her decision to give half of her wealth to Marianne, considering Leon was untrustworthy.
After searching for almost a day, Mrs. Chaterine still didn't find Marianne's whereabouts. She had also gone to the museum where Marianne worked, but again she didn't find her. Mrs. Catherine finally went to the notary's office to change her will. She really wanted Marianne to receive half of her wealth after she passed away.
"Thank you, Thomas, for your help, I hope that with my money, Anne's life after she left Leon will be fine," said Mrs. Chaterine gratefully.
"Are you sure you want to get Miss Marianne to divorce Mr. Leon? Isn't their marriage all right, Madame?" asked Thomas, her lawyer, full of confusion.
"All this time, Leon only tied Marianne with her status as a wife without treating her properly as a wife. Oh, that poor girl. I feel so bad for her... That's why I want to free Marianne from this prison that I have made. I regret that I insisted her to marry my scummy grandson," replied Mrs. Chaterine regretfully.
"It is not your fault, Madame. Leon is the one who is guilty of this," said Thomas, the Ganke family's personal attorney.
Catherine nodded softly in response to her lawyer's words. She then left the firm to return to her mansion. He had sent a message to Leon to come home to take responsibility for his actions.
The old Madam already intended to let Marianne go so she could move on with her life and be free from Leon, her grandson, who had disappointed her.
