Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Madeleine turned back to look at Bradley, who was slumped in

the back seat.

“So… he has a crush on his stepsister.”

Roderick thought for a moment and shook his head.

“More like an obvious crush.”

Madeleine’s mouth fell open in surprise. “He confessed? That’s

brave.”

“That’s just Bradley’s personality. He looks like a slacker on the

surface, but he’s actually more persistent than anyone.”

As Roderick spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes,

followed by a bit of sadness for his friend.

Madeleine guessed the ending. “Charlotte rejected him?”

“Yeah, she said she’d always seen him as a little brother.”

That year, Bradley was twenty, and Charlotte was twenty–three.

Chapter 102

“Mr. Kline’s marriage to Charlotte’s mother didn’t last long. The

two families just went their separate ways. After Charlotte left,

she went abroad. Come to think of it, they probably haven’t

seen each other in a long time.”

“That’s so devoted. He hasn’t forgotten after all this time.”

Hearing this, Roderick felt a little sour.

Compared to Bradley, wasn’t he devoted too?

Bradley lived in a huge downtown apartment. At this location’s

price, he could never afford it on his real salary, not in a lifetime.

Sigh. Old man Kline might have been a womanizer, but he was

definitely willing to spend money on his son.

Madeleine didn’t go up with him, waiting in the car for a while.

She was playing a mindless little game on her phone when a

call came in from Rebecca.

Madeleine jumped when she saw it.

Honestly, she was still a little scared when she thought of

Rebecca’s sharp, serious face.

“Hey, Rebecca~”

Madeleine was a sweet–talker with a sweet voice. After she

spoke, the other end of the line went silent for two full seconds,

as if adjusting their tone.

“I’ve got a lead on that thing you asked me to look into.”

Madeleine immediately sat up straight, her fingers

unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. “And?”

After another two–second pause, a business–like voice came

through.

“Money first.”

Rebecca made an outrageous demand, asking for a million.

That money was nothing to the newly rich Madeleine, of course,

but when she thought about it, that was a million dollars. She

could hire several private investigators with that.

Never mind the people around Edward, she could probably find

out what color underwear he was wearing today.

She sent the money over, feeling the sting, and only after

Rebecca confirmed it did she speak cheerfully:

“There’s no one around Edward with amnesia like you.”

“Ah…”

Madeleine murmured, not knowing whether to be happy or

disappointed.

If there wasn’t, it meant her ‘awakening‘ was just an accident,

with no side effects.

Or maybe… there was no ‘awakening‘ at all.

“But, I did check out the people around him like you asked, and I

found one who’s pretty strange.”

Madeleine’s eyes lit up.

“Her name is Zoe Osborn. She joined Edward’s company three

years ago, biding her time, aiming to get revenge for her

parents.”

“Revenge?

What’s the story?”

“Her parents died in a construction collapse at a project run by

the Carroll Group. To keep it quiet, people from the group made

their deaths look like suicides…”

Madeleine felt a chill, not sure if the car’s AC was just on too

high.

She rubbed her arms, got out of the car, and leaned against the

door in the evening breeze, listening to Rebecca on the other

end.

Zoe had originally infiltrated the Carroll Group, filled with hatred.

She meticulously planned for three years, starting as a low–level

clerk and working her way up to the core departments, all so

she could one day personally bring Edward down and get
