Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2085

Magdalen couldn't be bothered with idle chatter. She plopped down on the couch and stared at Carmella's insincere, sickening face, then turned to the two hostesses she'd brought with her and snapped, "Do it!"

After Estelle returned to the Macclains, Simone started to treat her with cold disdain, a big part of that was because of Carmella's manipulative scheming.

Even back then, Carmella's thoughts were so vile and extreme.

Despite taking Estelle's place and reaping the benefits from the Macclain family, Carmella showed not an ounce of gratitude or remorse. Instead, she aimed to further push Estelle out, her greed showing no bounds of humanity.

In that aspect, she truly resembled the Browns!

Greedy, ruthless, downright maniacal—each trait a signature of the Brown family, and yet Simone and Bennett, those two fools, couldn't see it.

Back then, Magdalen had wanted to thrash Carmella, and after holding it in for so long, she was determined to let it all out today!

The two hostesses stepped forward, grabbing Carmella by the hair and slapping her across the face before throwing her to the ground and unleashing a relentless beating.

Carmella struggled desperately, "Let me go!"

"Magdalen, what right do you have to hit me?"

"I have nothing to do with the Macclains anymore!"

Her screams were loud and pitiful, but the more she protested, the harder the slaps landed.

In less than ten minutes, Carmella was sprawled on the floor, incapacitated.

While one kept watch, the other hostess rummaged through the bedroom, quickly finding the diamond jewelry and several bank cards that Carmella had brought.

Soon after, Magdalen had someone transfer all the money from Carmella's cards. Under duress, Carmella pressed her fingerprint to approve the transactions, her eyes bloodshot, body squirming on the floor, as she screamed hoarsely,

"Magdalen, you're assaulting me for no reason, destroying my property, that's illegal! Unless you kill me, I'm calling the cops! You and Estelle can go to jail together!"

Magdalen, in her stiletto heels, stepped closer and stared down at Carmella's deranged and twisted face, tossing her a cell phone, "Call them now. You and Victor embezzled company funds, maybe the cops are already after you. If you call them, I'll go to jail with you. Go on, call! If you don't, you're nothing but a coward!"

Carmella's face, once filled with fury and hatred, now flashed with fear.

Magdalen scoffed disdainfully and left without a backward glance.

As soon as the trio departed, Carmella collapsed onto the floor, wailing over the remains of her shattered treasures. Everything was gone!

All those years of treading carefully in the Macclain household, all those years of currying favor with Simone—wasted, with nothing to show for it.
