Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 2010

Chapter 2010 Mustered Her Courage

Jonathan instantly recognized that man.

The man was Madilyn's biological father, whom she hated so much that she never wanted to talk about. He's the man who abandoned his wife and daughter so that he could marry someone else to advance his personal interests.

"He's Norton Sheffield, the chairman of Southern Star Group in Xandenia. You must have heard of him before. After all, he's quite a famous figure in the business world. But to me, he's nothing more than a piece of trash!”

Madilyn gritted her teeth as her eyes turned bloodshot.

The woman who accompanied Norton was Mildred Hinton from the Hinton family, the despicable bully who used her power to oppress Madilyn and Lorraine in the past.

After learning about Madilyn's birth, Mildred identified her as Norton’s illegitimate child and viewed her as a curse.

Due to that, Madilyn was deprived of a normal childhood and couldn't even attend school like the other kids. Mildred tampered with their lives, determined to drive Madilyn and Lorraine away.

On top of that, Mildred would even bring her two daughters over to Madilyn and Lorraine's house to bully them and destroy their belongings.

When Madilyn was still a child, Norton had come to visit a few times and gave them money, but Mildred would forcibly snatch the money away from them.

Fortunately, Madilyn had always been strong and independent.

Lorraine worked hard doing manual labor to support her daughter's education. By the time Madilyn reached high school, she also started taking up odd jobs to pay for her own tuition fees.

When it was time for Madilyn to further her studies, Lorraine decided to let the former enroll in a university in Horington so that she could stay away from Xandenia. That way, her life would be free from disturbances.

Lorraine, on the other hand, continued to suffer from mental torture for years, and such a condition had taken a toll on her health.

Yet, Norton did not appear to offer any assistance.

It was not until Madilyn brought Lorraine to Horington that Roxanne was able to save her life.
