Chapter 72 She Was So Cold
Madison was suddenly speechless. She felt embarrassed, but she could not contradict Caroline.
Caroline added, "I owe you nothing from beginning to end. Do you think I really want to intercede for you?"
In the past, Madison thought Caroline was a jellyfish and was dopey. It turned out that Caroline had never been weak or dopey.
Madison had a problem with Caroline in the first place. Later, Madison became even more jealous of Caroline because of Antonio. If Caroline had been Marissa or any other excellent woman, Madison's jealousy would have turned into envy.
There was a fine line between envy and jealousy.
Madison thought, "I am obviously better than Caroline in everything. Why could Antonio only see Caroline but not me?
Caroline is a good-for-nothing bitch who'll do anything for money, but I keep myself pure. Why does Antonio only have Caroline in his eyes?"
However, if this person had not been Caroline, but another excellent woman, the result would have been completely different.
Caroline's mediocrity and poverty became the original sin.
But it turned out that Caroline had never been dopey and she knew everything.
Madison was silent for a moment and then she said, "Then you are still hypocritical. If you were not willing to do it, why did you do it? You just want to show your good side to Big Boss, don't you?"
Caroline did not explain. There were a lot of things that didn't need to be explained to an unrelated person. "Just leave. Don't bother me again." As Caroline spoke, she closed the gate in Madison's face.
"Wait!" The gate was flung open. Caroline frowned and thought, "Is this never gonna stop?"
"I...Since you put it that way, I believe you pleaded with Big Boss for me." Madison glared at Caroline.
"Since you can help me beg Big Boss to spare my life, why can't you help me beg Big Boss to let me off the hook completely?"
Madison's implication was to question Caroline if Caroline could beg Big Boss to spare her life, why not just beg Big Boss to be magnanimous and let her get away with it?
Caroline didn't expect Madison to ask the question. Caroline was silent for a long time. Then she said,
"I don't care if you die of illness. I don't care if you die of a car accident. I don't care if you piss off Big Boss again and are pinched to death.
But this time, after all, it has something to do with me. And I don't want anything to do with anyone else's death. No matter who harmed me, even a stranger, as long as her life and death have something to do with me, whether directly or indirectly, I will go to plead with Big Boss.
Because I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling guilty that someone died because of me."
At least Caroline could afford to pay the price that man offered, but she could not afford to pay for a life.
"Madison, in other words, if you had only offended Big Boss that day, and I had nothing to do with it, I promise I would never have interceded for you that day. I wouldn't say a word for you even if I didn't have to pay any price."
Caroline said these to Madison. Even Caroline herself seemed to believe this reason.
It was just that, deep down inside, there was a pride that Caroline probably didn't even know she had. Caroline thought, "Who's Madison? Madison is nobody! Madison is not Delores. Madison doesn't deserve to make me feel indebted for the rest of my life!"
There was such pride in Caroline's heart. Now she was weak, miserable and mediocre. Three years in prison put her once proud head down hard. But what could not be destroyed was what was in her bones.
Caroline had long forgotten how confident she was. However, some things were deeply hidden in her heart and melted into her bones.
