Chapter 115
The pendant fell on the back of Madeline’s foot and bounced off before landing next to Eloise’s wheelchair. Madeline coughed as her face turned red, her throat was extremely sore. She did not notice the sudden change in Meredith and Rose’s expressions, but she did hear Eloise’s surprised shout.“This! This gold pendant!”Eloise’s voice was shaking, and she was even stuttering. Madeline looked over with suspicion and saw Eloise pressing onto where she had her surgery before standing up from the wheelchair to pick up the pendant. “Sean! Sean!” Eloise cried out for Sean. When Sean heard Eloise’s cries, he ran over. The moment he saw the pendant in Eloise’s hand, he looked extremely shocked, it was as if he had recovered something that was long lost.“This! This is the pendant we had custom made for our precious Linnie all those years ago! Did you finally find it?” What?Madeline did not even have time to catch her breath when she heard Sean say that. Her mind suddenly went bla

Madeline looked on as Sean gently put the pendant on Meredith’s neck, and Meredith’s eyes were full of tears with a touched look on her face.“How wonderful, the pendant has finally returned to our precious daughter.” Eloise’s elated voice could be heard. Her gaze was filled with motherly love as she looked at Meredith.Looking at that scene, Madeline could not help but cry as an inexplicable pain shot through her heart. She stepped forward and tried to explain. “I did not steal that pendant, my grandfather left it…”“Madeline, what are you still trying to do?!” Rose suddenly interrupted her, forcefully pulling Madeline’s shoulder. “Get out of here this instant! Don’t for a moment think that Meredith is an easy target!”Rose continued to shout as she pulled Madeline away from them. Madeline wanted to fight back, but her body was very weak. Her vision got hazier as she looked at the familial scene in front of her. The pain in her heart intensified looking at Sean and Eloise tend

Madeline tried to escape, but she could not resist that huge man. She was forced into a car. “Who are you?! Where are you bringing me?!” Madeline shouted, but no one responded. She could not even jump out of the car if she wanted to, since someone was holding onto her hands the whole way. After a little over ten minutes, the car stopped at a deserted place outside the city.“Get out!” The man fiercely pulled her out of the car, shoving her onto the ground.As Madeline fell on the ground, her palms fell onto the sharp rocks on the floor, piercing through her skin as she started to bleed. She ignored the pain as she raised her head up.“What are you doing?! Who sent you here, is it Meredith?!” She asked. The moment she said that, Meredith appeared in front of her. Meredith had a face full of makeup and an expensive branded fur coat as she looked down arrogantly on Madeline. “Meredith, so it is you!” Madeline clenched her teeth as she faced the vile woman. “What did you have me
Chapter 118
After her poisonous warning, Meredith violently pulled Madeline’s hair, shoving her head into a tree trunk over and over again, until Madeline had a gaping wound on her head.Madeline understood why Meredith had ordered some thugs to beat her up beforehand, it was to make it easier for Meredith to torture her right now. Madeline had absolutely no power to fight back. Madeline’s wound on her forehead had only just begun to heal, but it was once again open and bleeding.However, the pain that Meredith had brought onto her was not limited to just that. At the moment, Madeline was slumped on the floor, leaning against a dried-up tree, her pale face full of dirt and blood, looking absolutely terrifying.Meredith stood in front of Madeline, grabbing onto her chin. “Oh, look at how pathetic you are right now. Quit dreaming of seducing any more men. You can forget about Jeremy, as for Felipe…”She paused for a moment before letting out a crazy laugh.“Madeline, do you really think a high-

Just thinking about how Eloise and Sean looked at her caused Madeline to choke up. Meredith realized something was off, so she immediately snatched the paper away from Madeline’s hands. She was not surprised at all when she looked at the results on the paper, instead, she ripped the paper to shreds in rage. With a flick of her hand, the pieces of paper scattered into the wind.“Madeline, you vile woman!”Meredith used all her might to grab onto Madeline’s collar, her eyes were so venomous she looked like she wanted to skin Madeline alive. However, Madeline was still laughing, her white teeth stained with fresh blood that also colored her pale lips red.“Meredith, you really are just imitation goods.” She said those words softly, but it grated on Meredith’s ears when she heard them.Meredith sent a slap to Madeline’s injured face, as she widened her eyes widened wildly in front of Madeline. “Madeline, you better watch your f*cking tongue!”Meredith once again gripped Madeline’s

Meredith looked at the person who just appeared in astonishment. Meredith had already begun to devise a plot in her mind when she realized what she said to Madeline could have been overheard.“Meredith Crawford, you were never mom and dad’s birth daughter! It was always Madeline!” Brittany Montgomery shouted at Meredith angrily, “I had always treated you like a sister, but you had always coveted my position!”When she heard that, Meredith knew it was going to be a problem. However, she was good at acting, and quickly feigned a hurt expression. “No Brittany, don’t misunderstand. I really am mom and dad’s daughter…”“Meredith quit your lying, I recorded everything you said just now! I’m going to head right back and show them who you really are!” Brittany waved her phone around as she looked down arrogantly on Madeline who lay on the ground unmoving.“So what if I’ll be sisters with this ugly duckling in the future, it’s better than allowing a fake woman like you to continue strutting
Chapter 121
Madeline widened her eyes, her hands trembling as she checked for Brittany’s breath and pulse, but she could not feel anything. Brittany’s body had no warmth to it at all and had even hardened a little.Madeline’s mind was blank as she started to have a nervous breakdown. She was completely clueless as to what happened after she fainted, so it was impossible she would know what the knife was doing in her hand.Just as she was about to stand up, she heard police sirens in the distance. Looking at the police who got off the car, a cold shiver went down her spine.She did not expect to pay a visit to a detention center once again. It was a familiar scene, with undeniable evidence in front of her to counter anything she would say. The fingerprints on the knife were only Madeline’s and they managed to find traces of Brittany’s skin on the back of her hand, which proved that Brittany did have a struggle against her before she died.Madeline did not know how she had any bodily contact w
Chapter 122
Her Brit, her daughter, her precious daughter. In Eloise’s eyes, Madeline was just a cruel b*tch. To Madeline, hearing those words was like a sharp knife, cruelly stabbing into her heart.No one could see the wounds, but her heart had long since been riddled with wounds, blood pouring out everywhere. Madeline withstood the intense pain as her hands trembled, forcing herself to calmly say, “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, I’ve never hurt Brittany, nor would I have killed her. You have to believe me and investigate this, don’t let the real killer free.”“Don’t you dare try to weasel your way out of this!” Sean slammed his fist into the table. “The evidence is clear, how could you still say it’s not your fault! What grudge do you have against our family? You keep targeting our daughter Meredith, and now you killed Brit. Madeline, listen clearly, I will make sure you pay the price!”Sean shouted full of hatred, causing Madeline’s heart to momentarily slip into an endless abyss. She final
