The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 225

"Don't ever provoke me again. Otherwise, I'll make sure the Yates family finds out about every single dirty trick you've pulled behind my back all these years."

"Tell me, if you start hurting the Yates family's bottom line, how much longer do you think they'll keep an adopted daughter around?"

Madeline's tone was icy, dripping with unmistakable mockery.

The Yates family tolerated Felicity's presence only because she posed no threat to their interests.

But what would happen once the family's reputation was dragged through the mud?

She was genuinely curious to find out.

"You're truly ruthless, Madeline."

Felicity gritted her teeth through the phone.

"Don't celebrate just yet."

Just wait until that person returns. She couldn't wait to see if Madeline would still be acting so high and mighty.

Madeline didn't give a damn about her empty threats.

"What is there to celebrate? A stray dog bit me on the street, and I kicked it away. Isn't that just common sense?"

She hung up the phone and walked out the door, only to see Sloane waiting for her.

Madeline got into the passenger seat and buckled up.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of Sloane Sutton picking me up today?"

"I'm annoyed."

"Want to go grab a drink?"

Madeline raised an eyebrow.

"Is this about Lucas?"

"Not a chance."

Sloane gritted her teeth at the mere mention of her father.

"That homewrecker is pregnant with a boy. The old man has already gifted 5% of his shares to that unborn bastard."

"Do you think his brain is rotting from old age? His sperm count is practically non-existent, so how the hell did that woman magically get knocked up?"

Madeline cleared her throat and patted Sloane's hand comfortingly.

"It's broad daylight. Let's keep the vulgarity to a minimum."

"I just lost millions of dollars! How am I supposed to stay calm?"

Although Sloane's parents had a broken marriage, Dominic Sutton had always treated her reasonably well.

Over the years, he had never shown any intention of handing the company over to an outsider.
