Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 346

It was really Madison’s doing! Christina discreetly bit her lip as anger surged within her.

Only when the barista finished making her coffee and called her over did she snap out of her thoughts.

Christina paid for her coffee, received the beverage, and left.

Meanwhile, Madison had just learned from the kindergarten teacher that Christina had withdrawn the two children from school.

Feeling triumphant, she praised Norman for doing a good job.

“Mommy, when will you take me out to play next time?” Norman spoke meekly.

Madison had told him to address her as Mommy and Nathaniel as Daddy, and since he yearned for parental affection, he felt their relationship was real the more he called them in that manner.

“I’m very busy with work, so I don’t have time to take you out to play. Don’t we have a nanny at home?” Madison sounded a little impatient.

Norman’s voice grew more obsequious. “The nanny isn’t Mommy.”

“All right, fine. I’ll take you out this weekend.” Madison figured Norman still had some value to her, so she wanted to appease him to prevent him from being disobedient in the future.

Madison had to go to the warehouse to check on a batch of materials. Hence, she hung up the call after saying that.

There were several warehouses, mainly for the storage of goods.

Wearing high heels, she strode inward. After checking the materials and preparing to leave, she found the door she had left open upon entry was now locked.

Madison knocked on the door. Usually, no one would come to the warehouse.

Since the warehouse door was locked with a code and generally inaccessible to outsiders, no one was tasked to guard it.

At that moment, the air conditioning suddenly turned colder.

Chilly air continuously blew out from the vents like water gushing out from a broken dam, spreading- throughout the warehouse.

The temperature swiftly dropped, causing Madison to shiver. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly pulled out her phone to call Sebastian for help.

Upon unlocking the device, she noticed there was no signal.

Madison cursed and banged on the door a few times in frustration. Unfortunately, only pin-drop silence. ensued.

Initially, she still had some energy left, but after knocking a few times, she lost her strength and could only curl up in a corner.

Warmth gradually dissipated from her limbs, and her hands and feet eventually turned stiff.

An indeterminate time passed before the tightly shut door was slowly opened.

A slender figure walked in. Christina gazed coldly and disdainfully at the almost frozen Madison, revealing a meaningful smile.

“It’s you! You did this on purpose…” Madison’s voice trembled as she spoke.

She wanted to get up and slap Christina, but she couldn’t move.

Christina had used a signal jammer to block the communication signal of the warehouse to prevent Madison from establishing contact with the outside world.

That night, she had endured the biting air-conditioning for over half an hour. Now, she merely let Madison suffer the same way she did for an hour. Just the thought of that prompted Christina to feel she was being benevolent.

Christina strode up to Madison and regarded the latter with a frosty expression. “It doesn’t feel good being trapped someplace with the freezing air, does it?”

She wanted Madison to have a taste of her own medicine.

Madison widened her eyes in astonishment. How did she find out?

“Madison, it’s been five years, yet your tricks haven’t improved.” The look in Christina’s eyes turned icier. “Whatever harm you try to bring to me in the future, I’ll repay you in folds! I hope you don’t commit such foolish actions again!”

With that, Christina turned around and exited the warehouse.

Madison’s eyes reddened as she watched Christina’s retreating figure..

When Christina entered the elevator, she ran into Sebastian, who appeared troubled and was carrying a takeout bag.

“You’re having your meal so late?” Christina had a good impression of Sebastian, so she made a polite. inquiry.

Sebastian replied, “It’s not for me. This food is for Mr. Hadley. He didn’t have breakfast this morning, and now he’s having gastric pain, so he can only eat some oatmeal.”
