Chapter 877
Fabian and the rest of his men left.
Just before walking out, he turned to Madeline. “Shout if you need any help, my lady. I’ll be right outside.”
Madeline took up the offer. “Then I’ll trouble you with watching over Jeremy for me.”
“Hmm.” Fabian shrugged and left.
The large room fell silent.
Madeline walked steadily toward Meredith. She looked down at the scheming woman from above like a queen when she arrived to stand in front of Meredith.
“What other sinister plans do you have, Meredith? Come at me with them now. Don’t waste any more of my time.”
“Hmph. Of course, you’d want to end this as soon as possible, but too bad. I won’t let you.” Madeline lifted her hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her lips as she glared venomously at Madeline. “I know I’ll never have the chance to get Jeremy to love me again, but I can promise you that I won’t let you two have your happily ever after either.”
She scoffed sinisterly. “I’ve hidden your daughter in a place where no one will ever find her. Don’t worry, I’ve placed food in there, but perhaps I should tell you that one of the foods there is laced with rat poison.
“If that little thing is lucky, she’ll live another two days at most. If she isn’t, then I suppose you’ll just have to meet her in heaven.”
Meredith cackled. She wanted to see Madeline squirm, become all frantic and afraid. However, Madeline’s calm expression did not show even a single ripple despite the things she said.
Meredith’s smile froze, impatient now that Madeline was not reacting the way she imagined. “Have you gone mad, Eveline? Or have you gone crazy from fear? Don’t you want to know where your daughter is?”
“Of course I do, but will you tell me?” Madeline fired back, a confident smile gracing her icy features. “You’ve partnered with Felipe for quite a while already, right, Meredith? Then I’m sure you’re aware of the Stygian Johnsons’ influence in F Country too, hmm?”
“So what?” Meredith glared and roared at Madeline.
