Chapter 192
Fiona pressed her lips together, seeming to think.
After a moment, she said, “Three sentences in total.”
“I knew you’d come back. You’re just like us.”
“You’re all luckier than me.”
After saying the first two sentences, Fiona paused, then took a deep breath.
“And the last sentence, she said… we’re all marionettes. Can
you handle the consequences of breaking the strings?”
Fiona’s voice trembled a little as she said this.
She frantically tried to hide the panic in her eyes.
Then she looked up, staring directly into Madeleine’s eyes.
“You definitely know something, don’t you?
The ‘we‘ Zoe mentioned, it includes you, Madeleine. What is the
secret with Edward?”
Chapter 192
Fiona’s voice was very soft.
But it was deafening to Madeleine.
Supporting characters, narrative control, awakening, side
effects…
She had never dared to tell anyone about these things. Only her last conversation with Zoe had made her open up a little.
So when Fiona mentioned it now, Madeleine’s feelings were so
complicated that she felt numb.
It was like another actor had appeared on the stage of her one-
woman show.
She didn’t know if this person was a friend or an enemy, but she knew she wouldn’t have to perform this play alone anymore.
After some time, Madeleine pressed a hand to her chest,
thumped it lightly, and finally let out a heavy breath.
She took a deep breath, looking pale.
Seeing this, Fiona immediately got up and bought a bottle of
water from a nearby vending machine.
“Have some water.”
Chapter 192
“Thanks.”
Madeleine drank half the bottle in one go and finally came to
her senses.
From that unnatural reaction alone, Fiona already knew.
Madeleine must know something.
Whether it was Edward’s secret or Zoe’s.
After drinking the water, Madeleine held the bottle with both
hands. The coldness helped calm her down a bit.
She looked up at Fiona, her voice low and hoarse. “Some of this
is just my own speculation. I can’t be responsible for my
guesses, sorry.”
“I understand. In that case, could you listen to my guesses?
If they’re similar to yours, you just have to nod.”
As Fiona said this, her earnest tone and helpless eyes moved
Madeleine.
She remembered the painful times when she was controlled by
the narrative, so she had to agree.

Fiona was silent for a moment, seeming to choose her words
carefully.
After a while, she finally spoke slowly.
“Last year, I met and fell in love with Edward. It was like I was
poisoned; I was crazy about him.”
Her gaze lost focus as she began to get lost in her memories.
“He had a flock of mistresses around him, countless women
throwing themselves at him. Every time I thought he wasn’t the
one, it was like another person appeared inside me, telling me I
shouldn’t think that.”
Madeleine listened quietly, not surprised by any of this.
After all, it had been the same for her, and for Zoe too.
“Every time he did something to upset me and I decided to
leave, I’d wake up the next day and have inexplicably forgiven
him, as if… I couldn’t control myself.”
Fiona looked down, her eyes already a little red.
She gave a bitter laugh.
“Growing up, I’ve always been outstanding, whether in
Chapter 192
academics or abilities. I could control my own life perfectly, but
when it came to Edward…”
Fiona closed her eyes, and tears couldn’t help but stream down.
“Madeleine, can you understand how powerless I feel right
now?”
Madeleine didn’t say anything, just took out a tissue and
handed it to her.
“Hmm?”
“Yes.”
Madeleine nodded, giving her an affirmative answer.
Fiona sniffled and took Madeleine’s hand.
“So, when you were so obsessed with Edward before, it was like
