Chapter 878

Madeline’s pupils darkened as she pierced her gaze into Meredith’s wretched expression. She flung her away heavily. “You’re right, the Stygian Johnsons may not dare to do so, but I do!”

What?

Stunned, Meredith watched Madeline stride away as it dawned on her that she had just revealed Lillian’s location.

Jeremy had already used this trick on her back then in court, but she did not expect Madeline to use it on her. She even fell for it again!

Meredith climbed up to block Madeline, only to be kicked back by a bodyguard at the door.

She lay on the floor in agony and spit out a mouthful of blood. Watching Madeline leave coolly, she no longer had the strength to stand.

Madeline and Jeremy made their way to Felipe’s manor in record time.

Felipe was not surprised to know that they had arrived.

The sight of Madeline standing with Jeremy irked him.

A mocking smirk graced his lips as he stared at Madeline, the woman who would never belong to him again. “Despite hurting you so deeply and forcing you to sign the divorce papers back then, you’re still going back to him now? Did you forget the pain and misfortune he brought you, Eveline?”

Madeline met the man’s ironic gaze unfazed. “Of course not. It’s precisely because I haven’t forgotten that I now realize the tragic past between Jeremy and I was the result of someone’s intentional sabotage!

“You decided to save that heinous woman who was guilty of two murders from her execution. You allowed this b*tch to continue wreaking havoc on my life.”

Felipe knew Madeline was referring to Meredith.

“I saw you as my friend ever since I met you, Felipe. I saw you as someone I could trust. I was grateful that you saved me, that you were there to help when times were difficult. But from this moment on, I will never stand with you again.”

‘Never stand with you again.’

The five words spoke loudly of Madeline’s decision and determination.

“Give me back my daughter, Felipe,” Jeremy demanded coldly, long impatient.

Felipe scoffed in denial. “I don’t have the person you’re looking for.”

Just then, a childlike voice rang out right when Felipe’s sentence ended.

“Mommy, Mommy!”

Madeline turned her head in the direction of the sound. “Lillian!”

Felipe’s expression darkened dangerously as he watched Cathy slowly appear from behind Lillian. Fury bled into his eyes.

Unaware of the situation, Lillian quickly ran toward Madeline as her small lips called for her mom. She was overjoyed seeing her mother again after a long while.

Jeremy’s heart raced as he turned to look at the small energetic figure. ‘You’re alright, Lillian. Dad is so glad you’re alright.’

Burying herself in her mother’s embrace, Lillian turned her head to see Jeremy. “The handsome mister is here too!”

Madeline patted her small head and corrected her. “He’s not the handsome mister, Lillian. This is your dad.”

“Dad?” Lillian blinked before turning to look at Felipe.

Felipe’s gaze had long lost its warmth. He refused to let Madeline and Jeremy reunite as a happy family.

He was about to call someone to stop them when he felt Cathy press the muzzle of a gun against his back.

“Let them go.”
