Chapter 689

“Don’t you have any clue what I’m about to do right now?” Madeline smirked.

“You… I dare you!” Karen was trying her best to suppress the anxiety coursing through her. She pointed at Madeline and barked. “Aren’t you going to consider your status back then? You were one hell of a poor little girl, and you were very much blessed that Jeremy was willing to marry you! If it wasn’t for Meredith’s mistake of entering the wrong room, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to marry into the Whitmans!

“You b*tch! Acting all innocent and weak. In fact, you’re just as cruel and cunning as Meredith!

“I should have had you dead if I knew you’d turn out to be so cruel!”

Slap!

Following Karen’s cursing, Madeline hoisted her hand and slapped Karen hard on the face.

“Are you done scolding me?”

Yvonne was thrilled to see the scene.

Karen was in shock after receiving the heavy blow on her face.

She stared blankly at Madeline. Fear crawled down her spine, and she finally noticed what true fear was. “Madeline, I’m warning you, if you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll—”

“You’ll do what?” Madeline cut her short. Her pretty eyes looked at her disdainfully as she walked over to her. “Anyway, the chances of me surviving through this is very slim even if I kill you. If that’s the case, why can’t I get rid of you, a cruel and disgusting old lady, first before fending for myself?!”

Karen backed off, her face turning pale. “Back then, it was Meredith who made you lose your vision and disfigured you, not me! How could you place all the blame on me? What I did at most was scold and beat you a few times!”

“Hmph, you still have the guts to blurt it out? Back then, if you had the slightest bit of sympathy for me, I wouldn’t have gotten harmed by Meredith to such a miserable state!

“Karen, let me tell you something honestly. I’ve long ago hated you. I’ve always wished you were dead!

It’s all because of the existence of such a cruel mother-in-law like you that I suffered all those years!

Jeremy is indeed a jerk, but you’re far worse than him!”

Madeline’s eyes glinted with hatred as she threw her sharp gaze that was like a sword to Karen.

“Now’s the chance for me to vent out all the hatred I’ve been enduring!”

Madeline grabbed the dagger and narrowed her pretty eyes. The immense pressure she was giving out made Karen lose her mind.

Yvonne was witnessing this from a corner, feeling satisfied. Judging from Madeline’s tone and expression, it was obvious that Madeline’s hatred toward Karen had reached its peak.

Seeing Madeline raising the dagger and about to make a move, Karen took in a deep, cold breath as her body fumbled.

Just when Karen thought she was about to be stabbed by Madeline, Madeline pushed her out by force.

“Run, quick!”

‘What?!’

Karen thought she was having auditory hallucinations.

Only then did she realize Madeline had ‘forced’ her to the door without her realizing it.

“Run!”

Madeline reminded once again with a serious look.

At that moment, Karen finally realized Madeline’s intention.

The slaps Madeline gave her earlier were just an act to lower Yvonne and her comrades’ guard.

It may look like Madeline picked up the dagger and was about to stab her, but in fact, she was doing it all to save her.

Karen found it hard to believe, but that was the fact.

A sense of guilt emerged within her.

Karen stared at Madeline in shock before spinning around to escape.

Yvonne and her comrades never expected Madeline to derail their plan.

When they recovered and were about to catch up to Karen, Madeline turned around and blocked the door with her body, using the dagger as a weapon to stop Yvonne from moving any further.

Yvonne gritted her teeth. “Madeline, I didn’t expect you to put on an act!”

Madeline smirked. “You’re the stupid one. How many times have you failed to see through my act? It seems I can consider making a debut as an actress.”

“You…” Grinding her teeth, Yvonne ordered the two men, “Hurry up and catch her!”

…

Karen ran downstairs, panicked. Her mind was still flooded with Madeline’s previous actions.

Never in her wildest dreams would she expect Madeline to rescue her!

“Karen?!” Winston was escorting Jeremy to the stairs when he coincidentally bumped into Karen who came crashing down the stairs.

“Winston! Jeremy!” Karen was relieved to see her son and husband. Panting, she pointed upstairs agitatedly and anxiously. “Quick, go and rescue Madeline. I’m afraid something might happen to her!”

Jeremy’s expression changed for the worst after hearing it. He freed himself from Winston and ran up the stairs.

“Jeremy! You can’t see a thing. Please be extra careful!” Winston was worried as he reminded.

However, Jeremy rushed at lightning speed.

He could not see a thing, but after this period, he had gotten used to the world of darkness.

With his hearing ability, Jeremy slowly inched closer to the place where Madeline was being locked up in.
