Chapter 173
Her mother…
No, she was Meredith’s mother.
Madeline laughed at herself mockingly, her mind filled with the scenes of Eloise and Sean slapping her in the face for the sake of protecting Meredith.
She even remembered that last kick from Sean which caused her to spit out blood.
They never looked at her until the end.
Madeline’s grip on the door was extremely tight, and at that moment, Eloise took out her phone to give Meredith a call.
“Mer, you can come out now. I’ll bring you for a spa session later, then we can look for something to wear. It’s your birthday tomorrow, and Jeremy will propose to you as well. I want to make sure you’ll look the prettiest you can be. I’ll turn you into the most dazzling princess in the world. Dear, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”
Princess? Precious daughter?
Ah.
Madeline wanted to laugh hearing all that. She no longer wanted to continue listening.
She turned around, but she did not see that one of her employees was carrying coffee and snacks over.
With a clank, the cups and tray all fell to the floor.
“I’m so sorry, Miss Vera, so sorry!” The employee frantically apologized.
Madeline knew she was the one at fault for being distracted, so she consoled him and said, “No need to apologize. It’s not your fault.”
The moment she finished saying that, she saw that Eloise had walked out.
“What happened?” Eloise asked curiously, lifting her gaze to look at Madeline who was standing by the door. “You are—”
“This is our store manager, Miss Quinn.” The staff member explained briefly.
Madeline’s back was turned toward Eloise, she softly said, “I’m terribly sorry. I have an important matter to attend to. All of you make sure you treat our customers well. I’m heading off.”
