Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 739

Even after returning home, Madelyn remained lost in thought, her mind growing increasingly tangled.

She desperately wanted to convince herself that Ariana was lying—that the woman had fabricated everything just to mess with her. But the details in Ariana’s words kept dragging her back to the past, forcing her to reconsider every moment. The more she dwelled on it, the more she sensed something was off.

Just as Ariana had pointed out—why would she have drugged Irene? And so blatantly, at that?

And then, as if by perfect timing, Irene had left, leaving Madelyn as the only one who drank that spiked water.

At the thought, a faint redness crept into Madelyn’s eyes. Clenching her jaw, she grabbed her purse and stormed out of the villa.

---

These past few days had been nothing short of a nightmare for Irene.

At first, she had assumed her parents had rescued her out of pity—that they couldn’t bear to see her suffer any longer. But the moment she stepped out, the truth hit her like a sledgehammer.

She never could have imagined that her biological mother was actually Ariana’s mom.

And Ariana… was her mother’s daughter.

The revelation left her utterly shattered, unable to process the reality of it.

She refused to believe it. It had to be a lie. So day after day, she tried to force her way into the Harper family’s company or their home, only to be turned away every single time.

It wasn’t until she found herself penniless and homeless on the streets that the truth finally sank in—the Harper family had truly abandoned her.

Thankfully, she still had some money left in her bank account, so she had been staying in a cheap motel.

And then, on this particular day, Madelyn called.

Since the incident, Madelyn hadn't reached out, and Irene knew she must resent her for going too far and dragging her into trouble. At the time, Irene hadn't cared. After all, Madelyn might have pretended to be her close friend, but deep down, she probably saw Irene as just another weed clinging to her like everyone else.

But that was then. Things were different now.

Irene desperately wanted a chance to explain things to her parents. So when Madelyn unexpectedly called, her eyes lit up with hope.

By the time Irene arrived at the café, Madelyn was already waiting at their usual spot.

Irene hurried over. The moment their eyes met, her own welled up with tears, her voice hoarse and strained. "Madelyn..."

Madelyn pressed her lips together.

The Irene before her looked disheveled—there was no doubt she'd been having a rough time.

In the past, Madelyn would have been heartbroken, furious on her behalf, cursing Ariana without hesitation. But now, she felt an unexpected calm.
