Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

“It’s not as bad as you’re making it out to be. When the Mosley

Group went bankrupt, I poached all the talented long–time

employees. They have good positions now in companies under

the Livingston Group.”

He thought for a moment, then continued, “As for your dad, I

suggested he put a new team together back then, but he felt he

was too old and didn’t want to fight anymore.”

Madeleine froze, turning her head to stare at Roderick.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me this?”

“You never asked.”

Roderick raised an eyebrow, only realizing his mistake when he

saw the gratitude and admiration in Madeleine’s eyes.

He should have told her sooner! What was all that effort for?

On the way, Roderick told her more about what happened after

the Mosley Group went bankrupt.

Harold Mosley had taken a huge hit back then, partly because

his life’s work was destroyed, and partly because his daughter’s.

transformation was unbelievable to him.

Roderick was the one who stayed by the old couple’s side

during that time, and he also bought back the remaining

production lines at a high price after the company was

liquidated.

Even though the company was gone, the core technology

wasn’t lost.

This was also why Harold and Clarissa always felt they had let

the Livingston family down.

Madeleine listened in a daze, her mind flashing back to the first

time she saw her parents after losing her memory, and the

things they said.

No wonder they always said she had let Roderick down.

No wonder… they didn’t want her to hurt him again.

Madeleine’s nose tingled, and she lowered her head, picking at

her fingers. Roderick knew this was a habit she’d had since she

was a child.

He didn’t say anything, just reached out and held Madeleine’s

small hand.

“Let’s not talk about this. At least everything is heading in the

right direction now, isn’t it?”

Madeleine nodded sullenly and spoke in a muffled voice, “I

know. I still haven’t figured out what happened, haven’t made

up for my mistakes, or gotten my revenge. I won’t be defeated.”

After she spoke, she paused for a moment, her voice tinged

with tears.

“I just don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

What Madeleine really wanted to say was that she didn’t know

how to thank Roderick.

To thank him for staying by her side, believing in her, and giving

everything for her and her family during the time she was least

like herself.

But she couldn’t say it.

She didn’t even dare to look at Roderick right now.

She was afraid that if their eyes met, her tears would start to

fall uncontrollably.

Roderick didn’t say anything more. He guided her head to rest

on his shoulder and thought for a moment about how to cheer

her up.

“How about we go change in a bit, and I’ll take you out for

something good to eat?

That Spicy Numbing Hot Pot place we always went to as kids is

still open.”

Madeleine sniffled. “That’s so high in calories.”

Roderick: “I’ll work out with you tomorrow after we eat.”

Working out…

Madeleine thought of that steamy scene in the gym the other

day, and her ears grew hot again. One moment she was crying,

the next she was laughing.

Madeleine hadn’t eaten much at the dinner party, and after

going home to change, she was actually hungry.

“Is it okay for us to just leave the kids at home like this?”

Roderick thought for a moment. “When we were kids, our

parents wouldn’t let us eat it. Now that we’re parents, we
