Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 128

Rue's expression was full of darkness and displeasure. "What did you say, Josh? You've become bad. You weren't like this before. Who taught you to disobey your mother like this?"

Josh allowed Rue to pull him around by the collar and his face turned redder by the second.

Lifting Josh by his collar, Rue almost strangled him as Josh was about to pass out from not being able to breathe.

"No one taught me, I was only stating the fact."

Rue's eyes narrowed as she lifted Josh higher and higher, not paying attention to how he was struggling to breathe.

"Rue, what the hell are you doing?!"

Edward was standing on top of the staircase when he called out coldly.

He could not wait for Josh to knock on his door anymore, so he went outside to see what was happening.

However, He did not expect to be treated to a sight like this!

'That woman deserves death for treating my son like this!'

Hearing Edward's voice, Rue whipped around instinctively to look at Edward.

She shuddered and withdrew her hand reflexively, her face was full of fear. "Edward, h-how are you awake?"

Plop— Josh was dropped heavily onto the ground, panting in extreme oxygen deprivation.

Edward immediately charged downstairs and approached Josh.

Rue panicked. She thought Edward was already asleep but she did not expect her moments of abusing Josh would be seen by him!

She stepped forward and hugged Edward's arm tightly. "Edward, it's not what it looks like! I was only worried for Josh to sleep so late, so I wanted to put him to bed..."

"Get away from me!"

Edward pushed Rue aside in freezing coldness.

Being pushed aside, Rue found herself falling onto the floor and unable to get up.

Edward pulled Josh into his arms worriedly. "Josh, are you alright? Is any part of your body hurt?"

Josh shook his head weakly. "Father, don't worry, I don't feel pain anywhere."

Edward looked at the scar on Josh's pale skin, and his face shifted ominously.

He traced the scar on Josh's neck lightly, shivering as he did so.

Then, he carried Josh onto the sofa and covered him with the blanket. When he was done, he walked toward Rue.

Edward crouched next to her darkly. "Rue, how dare you hurt my child!"

Rue allowed her tears to stream down her face as she shook her head. "No, it's not like that, Edward! I didn't know the collar was strangling Josh!"

Slap— Edward backhanded slapped Rue across the face.

"Oh, is it? If you didn't know, allow me to let you experience it personally."

Edward took a wiping cloth from the kitchen counter before he swiftly wrapped it around Rue's neck.

He stood up and grabbed onto the corners tightly, lifting Rue directly from the ground.

Not being able to breathe, Rue flailed wildly in the air as she screamed, "No! I really wasn't doing it on purpose! Edward, believe me, let me go! Please!"

Yet Master Edward cared about Young Master Josh so much that he could not bear it when Young Master Josh was hurt.

Rue slowly supported herself up as the servants approached her, trying to apply the medicine for her.

"Mistress Rue, please take a seat, we'll apply the medicine for you."

Edward immediately roared, "Don't you dare apply the medicine for her!"

With a shudder, the servant with the medicine bottle dropped the bottle in her hand.

At the same time, the rest of them lowered their heads and stood by the old butler's side, not bold enough to approach Rue again.

Rue gritted her teeth and picked up the medicine bottle, planning to apply it on herself.

Rue slammed her palm heavily on the sofa, her face distorted in fury. "Pennyworth, do you know what you're doing?!"

The old butler stood with his head lowered but without an intention to apologize.

It was apparent that whatever he had done was Edward's order.

Rue tensed her jaw and slowly stood up from the sofa. She then shuffled toward the staircase as she endured the immense pain.

However, the servants immediately walked up and blocked her path to the stairs.

Edward's voice emerged from behind her. "Rue, where do you think you're going?"
