Madison almost suffocated in her own resentment and envy.
She took comfort in the fact that Cecilia was living a hard and bitter life forever, but, in fact, she was from a wealthy family, and she could still return to her luxurious life if she returned home, as easily as that.
Madison felt like she had lived a lie her whole life. Why was God so unfair to her?
She was miserable enough - obsessing over how she was born ugly, but Cecilia was blessed with good looks. Even now, their lives were so different; they were never equal from the start.
Cecilia gave birth to a daughter later on.
She had someone send her daughter to Madison for her to take care of.
At the time, Madison was no longer with her previous lover. Instead, she was married to James, who was an honest and hardworking man.
The moment Madison saw the soft, beautiful baby girl, her dark jealousy intensified.
As she caressed the baby girl's smooth skin and kissed her perfect little cheeks, a twisted thought took root in her mind. If she couldn't destroy Cecilia, she could still destroy Cecilia's daughter, couldn't she?
Brayden came to find Queenie. He told her that Madison had not returned home for a long time.
His tone was rather anxious when he told Queenie.
Especially since the whole family's money was under Madison's control.
Now that she had disappeared, they didn't know where the money was.
Despite this, Queenie was unfazed about Madison's disappearance at all.
Recently, she became involved with an old man. He was besotted and was willing to spend heaps on her. Money wasn't exactly her concern.
"So what? Maybe Mom went travelling," Queenie snorted dismissively.
Brayden's face fell. "I heard from others that she was taken away by a few bodyguards in a van. You'd better investigate this!"
Madison was taken away by bodyguards?
Queenie was stunned.
Who had the power to send bodyguards to kidnap
Madison?
She suddenly remembered the moment she saw Natalie together with Tobias.
Did Natalie finally reconcile with Tobias and worked with him to take revenge on Madison?
The more she thought about it, the more Queenie found her assumptions likely to be true.
Brayden added, "Don't forget that all the money is in her hands, which you need for your dowry too."
Queenie was frustrated.
She did not care about that money at all. Their family did not have much to start with anyway. Besides, Brayden would inherit all of it.
However, she was huffed and vexed by the fact that Natalie had kidnapped Madison.
To Queenie, Natalie was a cheap woman destined to be the dirt under her and Madison's feet. Yet, she dared to kidnap her mother. How could she stand that? Queenie clenched her fists as she fumed in anger.
Queenie looked at Brayden. "Alright. I will investigate this matter and see if that b*tch is behind this,"
Brayden's eyes widened.
"Natalie?"
Natalie had been missing for such a long time. He was almost certain that she was dead.
A look of evil malice flashed in Queenie's eyes.
"Yes, that woman."
Meanwhile, in Agaphen City, the VIP ward was a lively scene.
Once again, Benjamin volunteered to feed Remington.
This time, Remington immediately refused.
"I can eat on my own," he insisted.
Eating on his own took longer and required him to exert greater effort, but it was better than being fed by Benjamin.
Even Remington himself noticed the strange look that everyone was giving him.
Even a man like him who had never cared about what other people thought of him felt sort of annoyed.
Natalie wanted to step forward and help Remington with his food, but she fought back the urge.
If she were to do that, Benjamin would definitely stop her.
Natalie sighed internally.
Despite Benjamin's strict supervision over Natalie and Remington, the two of them were still able to steal the chance to talk.
For example, there were times like when Benjamin went to the bathroom. It would be impossible for him to bring Natalie into the men's bathroom with him.
As Remington began eating on his own, Benjamin excused himself and went to the bathroom.
