Chapter 877

Fabian and the rest of his men left.

Just before walking out, he turned to Madeline. “Shout if you need any help, my lady. I’ll be right outside.”

Madeline took up the offer. “Then I’ll trouble you with watching over Jeremy for me.”

“Hmm.” Fabian shrugged and left.

The large room fell silent.

Madeline walked steadily toward Meredith. She looked down at the scheming woman from above like a queen when she arrived to stand in front of Meredith.

“What other sinister plans do you have, Meredith? Come at me with them now. Don’t waste any more of my time.”

“Hmph. Of course, you’d want to end this as soon as possible, but too bad. I won’t let you.” Madeline lifted her hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her lips as she glared venomously at Madeline.

“I know I’ll never have the chance to get Jeremy to love me again, but I can promise you that I won’t let you two have your happily ever after either.”

She scoffed sinisterly. “I’ve hidden your daughter in a place where no one will ever find her. Don’t worry, I’ve placed food in there, but perhaps I should tell you that one of the foods there is laced with rat poison.

“If that little thing is lucky, she’ll live another two days at most. If she isn’t, then I suppose you’ll just have to meet her in heaven.”

Meredith cackled. She wanted to see Madeline squirm, become all frantic and afraid. However, Madeline’s calm expression did not show even a single ripple despite the things she said.

Meredith’s smile froze, impatient now that Madeline was not reacting the way she imagined. “Have you gone mad, Eveline? Or have you gone crazy from fear? Don’t you want to know where your daughter is?”

“Of course I do, but will you tell me?” Madeline fired back, a confident smile gracing her icy features.

“You’ve partnered with Felipe for quite a while already, right, Meredith? Then I’m sure you’re aware of the Stygian Johnsons’ influence in F Country too, hmm?”

“So what?” Meredith glared and roared at Madeline.

“So I’ll be able to find my daughter very soon.”

“Impossible!” Meredith denied it, her expression looking wretched. “No matter how strong their influence is, there’s still no way they’ll ever find where I hid that little thing!”

“Nothing is impossible.” Madeline raised her brows arrogantly as she gripped Meredith by the chin, sneering at the replica of her face. “You also said that it was impossible for Jeremy to like a woman like me and that there’s no way I’d ever win you my entire life… But look at us now.”

Meredith’s eyes flared as she tightened her jaw. “Eveline Montgomery!” She barked, jumping up to overpower Madeline.

Madeline immediately lifted her leg and kicked Meredith in the back of her knee.

Meredith dropped to her knees in front of Madeline, her teeth chattering from the pain.

Madeline’s beautiful smile fell from her face.

“Did it hurt? I felt this pain deep in my bones back then too. Do you remember the facade you pulled in front of Jeremy and how you worked with your parents to push me against the floor as you humiliated and hit me? Or how you tried to f*ck up my hand so that I’d never get to design again? Because I do, and I don’t plan on forgetting it!

“But Meredith, I stood back up again. What about you? You will never have the chance to do so!

“Fabian will find Lillian in no time, then Jeremy and I will return to Glendale. The four of us will live happily ever after as a family while you can go to hell and atone for what you did to my grandfather!”

What Meredith envied the most were Jeremy’s feelings for Madeline. She refused to accept Jeremy and Madeline getting the chance to get back together.

She howled in unbridled rage. “You can dream about reuniting your family, Eveline! You will never find Lillian Whitman. Never!”

“Why not? There’s not a person the Stygian Johnsons cannot find in F Country!”

“Of course, they won’t be able to find her! The Stygian Johnson Gang could be even more influential and they still wouldn’t dare to march into Felipe’s manor!”

Ah. It turned out that Lillian had fallen into Felipe’s hands again, it seemed.
