Madeleine nodded. “So, what is this about…?”
“No matter what, this whole thing started because of me. They
misunderstood the situation between you and Edward and
wanted to stand up for me, so…”
Just hearing Edward’s name made the corners of Madeleine’s
mouth lift in a mocking smile.
“I understand.”
Madeleine nodded. “But it’s not respectful.”
She shrugged. “This kind of drama, ganging up on another
woman over a man, always seems to happen.”
Fiona was silent for several seconds, not knowing what to say,
just feeling stiff and uncomfortable.
After all, wasn’t she here to see Madeleine for the same reason
-a man?
She gathered her thoughts and suddenly asked, “There’s
something I’ve always been curious about. That day at the
Chapter 168
restaurant, you denied ever liking Edward… but you and I both
know that some things are facts.”
With no one else around, Madeleine didn’t bother to hide it.
“Everyone’s been blind at some point.”
“Then why did you change?”
“My eyes got better.”
Fiona was at a loss for words again.
She couldn’t help but feel that Madeleine was calling her blind…
“Can you tell me what happened between you two?
It’s like you saw right through Edward and were desperate to
pull yourself out of that relationship, to cut all ties.”
It was obvious this was the question Fiona had come to ask
today.
She was already trying hard to choose her words carefully, to
soften her tone.
Madeleine stared at her for a moment, unconsciously rubbing
the ring on her ring finger.
Chapter 168
“Miss Bell, you’re mistaken. I’m not trying to pull away from that
relationship. I’m just getting back on the right track. My life, my
feelings–they were always supposed to be for my family and
the one I love, weren’t they?”
Madeleine felt helpless too. What could she do? She couldn’t
just tell Fiona that she was actually being controlled by the
narrative control, could she?
What if something happened to her after she broke free from
the narrative control and she blamed it on me?
Everyone has their own fate.
Fiona’s situation was already much better than hers had been
back then.
“You were so in love with him back then, willing to give him
everything. Why did you change?”
Madeleine spread her hands with a helpless look on her face.
“Respect personal choice.”
Just as she finished speaking, a message came from security,
saying Edward was at the gate.

Madeleine subconsciously glanced at Fiona, her expression.
darkening slightly.
Fiona quickly said, “I don’t know why he’s here.”
The security guard sounded troubled. “Chase, ‘should we let him
in?”
Madeleine glanced at Fiona again, her eyes perfectly calm.
“Let him in.”
She was also quite curious why Edward would come here, how
he even had the nerve to show up.
A moment later, Edward strode in, his suit jacket draped over
his arm, his tie slightly loosened.
The moment his eyes landed on Fiona, a shadow of gloom
passed through them.
He shifted his gaze to Madeleine, a mocking smile flashing
across his lips.
“Madeleine, I’m finding it harder and harder to figure you out.”
Madeleine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Chapter 168
“If you have nothing better to do, go be a delivery driver, okay?
Why are you standing here touching me?”
She had just finished speaking when Kevin’s horrified voice
rang out from the side.
“Mommy, why is he touching you!”
The little guy had been practicing the piano, but stopped when
he heard a guest arrive and was about to go read a book.
But then he realized it was that bad man who had come.
And he was touching Mommy
“Kev, what are you doing here?”
Madeleine walked over and crouched in front of Kevin, her
