Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 A Life For A Life

Maggie’s voice was seemingly squeezed through clenched teeth, and her icy, resentful glare made Christina’s heart skip a beat.

Sebastian was just talking about the Taggart family showing up at the hospital sooner or later, but he never expected anyone to show up so soon.

Just then, several burly bodyguards dressed in black appeared in the corridor. They marched over to Christina and Maggie and stood between the women, looking extremely assertive.

“Mr. Hadley has given us the order that no one is to disturb Mrs. Hadley when she’s recuperating. Please leave, Old Mrs. Taggart.”

Maggie gripped her cane, her gaze still pinned on Christina. “What can an old woman like me do to her? All I did was ask her a few questions. I’ll leave when I’m done. What do you think, Mrs. Hadley?”

Sure enough, Maggie was alone. All she brought was a single cane; she did not even have a bag.

At the same time, Christina was intrigued to find out the purpose of Maggie’s visit. “It’s all right. You guys can wait outside while I talk to her in private.”

The leader of the bodyguards was hesitant to obey, but he could only compromise when met. with Christina’s questioning gaze. “Make way,” he ordered.

Immediately, the group of men opened up a path, letting the smirking elder enter the ward with her cane.

Christina left the door slightly open and leaned against it. “Get straight to the point. I’m in a rush.”

Thanks to Madison, Christina did not have a good impression of the Taggart family.

Their overprotectiveness was not rooted in distinguishing right from wrong.

“Were you the one who caused Madison’s death?” Maggie shot Sophie a piercing gaze.

To Maggie’s surprise, Christina curled her lips into a mocking smile and responded with a question, “What do you think?”

Offended by the response, Maggie thumped the cane on the ground and berated Christina for her ruthlessness, “Madison would’ve stayed by Nathaniel’s side as his assistant if not for you. Sure, she made mistakes, but she didn’t deserve to die. She had already lost her mind. Why couldn’t you forgive her? Why did you have to kill her? Besides, you’re alive and well.

Return Madison to me, Christina. The Taggart family will never let you off! We’ll make you pay an eye for an eye!”

Maggie looked as though she wanted nothing more than to kill Christina when she screamed at the top of her lungs and glowered at the latter resentfully.

Alas, the condition of Maggie’s legs did not allow her to make a move on Christina.

Christina threw Maggie an icy glance. “How can both the culprit and the victim be innocent? What was your family doing when Madison was doing everything in her power to harm me? All you know is pass the buck and oppress others who are weaker.”

Maggie huffed in anger, but she stayed true to her beliefs. “You were the one who messed with her first.”

“Madison seduced my husband and plotted for me to fall into the sea. After that, she teamed up with other people to kidnap and kill me. Everything she did was to kill me. Don’t you think her tragic end is what she deserved?” Christina snorted coldly before continuing, “And even if I wanted to kill her, it’s what she owes me.”

Maggie seethed with anger after listening to Christina’s speech.

As Maggie trembled with anger, a phone fell out of her pocket.

Coincidentally, it fell to the ground with its screen facing up, exposing the voice recorder’s interface.

There was a slight change in Maggie’s countenance. She bent over to pick up the phone, but her legs moved too slowly that she twisted her waist and slumped to the ground.

Subsequently, Christina caught the phone with the tip of her shoe and stomped hard on it, crushing the screen. She then lifted her leg slightly and gave it a kick, sending it flying toward the wall and shattering into pieces upon impact.

Her movements were fluid and swift, unlike how a pregnant woman should behave.

Maggie’s eyes went wide with horror, and her face flushed as she could not scream to vent her pain.

Ignoring the elder’s reaction, Christina said straightforwardly, “The Taggart family is utterly useless. I can’t believe you guys tried to put the blame on me just to guard your reputation. That’s pure
