The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Mrs. Hoyle returned home from the detention center without saying a word. She looked gloomy like black clouds when it was about to rain.

Annie, the little girl who had won her heart, called her but she only glanced at her, patted her head, sighed, and went upstairs.

No one knew what happened to the old lady. The atmosphere was awkward.

After the old lady disappeared on the stairs, Ada Hoyle asked quietly, “What’s wrong with mom? What happened?”

Aoba Hoyle was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He cocked his head and shrugged his shoulder, “No idea. She has always been like this.”

In the evening, Olive Steele asked Annie to call the old lady for dinner, but she refused to come downstairs saying she was not hungry.

“Mom has something on her mind.” said Ada Hoyle.

It was obvious. Aoba Hoyle rolled his eyes on his sister.

Alan Hoyle asked the maid to find the driver, “Where did madam go this afternoon?”

“Madam won’t let me talk.” the old drive replied.

“Do you think I won’t find out if you don’t tell me?” Alan Hoyle asked flatly, but he was not angry.

He was the person in charge of the family now and the driver was clear about it. If the master wanted to know, he couldn’t do anything about it. He hesitated for a little while and finally replied, “Madam went to the detention center to visit Miss Meyer.”

When he said this, he glanced at Olive Steele carefully.

“What were they talking about?” asked Alan Hoyle.

The driver shook his head, “Madam didn’t let me and Doctor Gu follow in. so, we have no idea what madam and Miss Meyer were talking about.”

Aoba Hoyle scoffed and defended Olive Steele, “I don’t know what’s so good about that snake. Mom has a good daughter-in-law already. I think she’s just confused.”

Olive Steele’s eyes dim slightly. The old lady was still concerned about the woman who committed fatal crime against the Hoyle but she still treated her like an outsider. She was uncomfortable, but still, she put on a smile and comforted, “The old lady watched Miss Meyer grew up. She still cares about her. It shows that when the old lady has set her eyes on someone, she will like the person a lot and I’m waiting for the day to come.”

She accused Olive Steele without hesitation, “Miss Steele, we know that you win the young master’s favor so much that he turns his back against his family, but this is too much. You are well aware that madam is not in
