Chapter 117
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-
Chapter 119
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

When Madeline saw Eloise and Sean hold Meredith’s hand with tender love, all she could think of was that the love should have belonged to her. All that love and care had been given to Meredith. Madeline’s heart froze and she bit onto her lips, swallowing down those words that were on the tip of her tongue, suppressing the longing back down into her heart.She felt a weird sensation in her chest, but she did not even have time to think about it when the familiar taste of blood was once again present in her throat.“Madeline, you really crossed the line this time!” Meredith sobbed as she ran in front of Madeline. “I told you before, if you have any problems you should just bring them to me, don’t hurt anyone around me. How could you be so cruel! You actually killed Brit this time! Will you not rest until you’ve tormented everyone around me?”With Meredith’s face right in front of her, Madeline jeered as she gagged, fresh blood once again flowing out of her mouth, staining her white
Chapter 124
Madeline tearfully looked at Eloise as she uttered those words. In that moment, her heart shattered into a million pieces, losing all hope. The familial love that she had craved for so long had turned into a weapon that would destroy her life.If there was a next life, she wanted to be a fish that only had seven seconds of memory. That way, she could forget all the pain. Not long after, Madeline was tried in court for murder. People usually begged to live but Madeline's heart was so broken she had lost all will to live. In the court, Madeline wore a prison uniform. Her face was pale and her hair disheveled, looking just like a wild ghost.She saw Meredith dressed up beautifully, accompanying Eloise and Sean. Even Jeremy had come, probably to see what her sentence was. He probably wanted to see her get sentenced to jail, never to have a chance to redeem herself again.Madeline could not help but laugh bitterly. She felt like she was certain to be deemed guilty, and either sentenc
