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
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
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
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
Madeline was stunned and did not even have the chance to deny it when Jeremy gently lifted her chin, his warm breath closing in on her, causing her heart to beat wildly. She heard a sinister laugh from him. “I’ve said it before, even if you die, you need to die by my hands.”His magnetic voice reverberated in Madeline’s ears like a nightmare.Madeline could only state in horror at the man’s evil smile as her heart thumped against her chest. He was not saving her, he just wanted to kill her himself!“Hand me the earring,” Jeremy demanded.Remembering the fact that he had already destroyed evidence for Meredith that could have proven Madeline’s innocence, Madeline knew she absolutely could not hand the earring over to Jeremy.She hurriedly turned around but was held in place by Jeremy.“Madeline, don’t make me repeat myself, give it to me.” Jeremy’s tone got a lot colder.Madeline frantically shook her head, clenching her fist tightly. “I won’t give it to you! I want to hand this
“Don’t do it! Jeremy!” Madeline shouted, but Jeremy ignored her.She stared as he raised his hand, tossing that important earring right into the lake. Madeline’s heart froze, she had no more cards to play.However, the heavens really might be helping her. There was a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the earring did not fall in, instead landing on the ice!Jeremy was obviously very unhappy. He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to think of what to do when Madeline ran across like the wind.He stared in disbelief as Madeline suddenly ran like crazy toward the lake, just to retrieve that earring. The thin ice was quite a distance from the shores, and Madeline could not reach it. She tried to find a tree branch to hook the earring over, but she was afraid she would accidentally push the earring into the lake. Seeing that, Jeremy walked to her side, pulling Madeline up. “Madeline, what are you doing?”“Mr. Whitman, can’t you see? I’m trying to retrieve some evidence, evidence that M
