Madelyn's expression turned gloomy.
"I have nothing to say to you."
With that, she turned to leave.
When she reached the foyer, she noticed the door was
closed. She tried to open it, but it was locked from the outside.
At that moment, not only did a cold look cross her face, but even her heart became stone cold.
She turned to look at Elena.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
The calmness in Madelyn's eyes made Elena hate her even more. Elena wondered where Madelyn got the courage to remain so fearless.
Instead of answering Madelyn's question, Elena took out some documents.
"Sit. Let's talk."
Elena tried her best to sound calm despite the emotions swirling inside her.
Madelyn's lips pressed tightly together as a cold glint crossed her eyes..
Elena couldn't help but avoid her oppressive gaze at one point. Nevertheless, she still tried hard to meet it.
"Maddie, I really want to go back to how we were back then!"
"Back then?"
Madelyn sneered when she heard those words.
Was Elena asking her to go back to the time when she was treated like a fool? To the time when Elena tried to set her and Easton up but was also trying to get with him?
How shameless must Elena be to claim she loved Andrew in such an assertive manner?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Elena pretended to be hurt.
"Did you forget what I did when Mom didn't buy you new clothes? When you came home from school, and there was no food, it was me who saved some food for you!" Madelyn stared at her quietly.
"Even on birthdays, when Mom didn't leave you a single
piece of cake, it was always me who cared for you. Why did things turn out this way between us? Tell me. What did I do wrong?"
The more Elena spoke, the more heartbroken she looked. She acted as if Madelyn had deeply wronged her and
disregarded their sisterly bond.
Madelyn continued to watch her performance coldly.
response to Madelyn's silence, Elena added, "Did you forest 71 even paid your school fees."
Madelyn's gaze became even colder when she heard that.
She wondered if Elena wanted to use their past to settle
their score. If that were the case, Madelyn figured that she
might as well play along.
Madelyn walked toward the couch opposite Elena and took
a seat.
With a mocking smile playing on her lips, she asked, "So, you're trying to tell me that you're the only... 'good person' in this family?"
The emphasis Madelyn placed on the words "good person" made Elena's heart pound from the guilt.
When Madelyn saw the flicker of avoidance in Elena's eyes, her cold smile deepened.
*A good person, eh? Ha! Do you really believe you're a good person?"
Elena clenched her fists instinctively.
Unable to face Madelyn's gaze any longer, she lowered her head in avoidance.
"Whether I'm a good person or not doesn't matter. What matters is that I've always been good to you."
Madelyn's initial cold smile disappeared.
At this moment, even though Elena wasn't looking directly at Madelyn, the former could feel the oppressive coldness radiating from her.
Suppressing her guilt, Elena said, "Maddie, I really want us to go back to how things were-to be fine again. Is that alright?
"Have you forgotten how I returned to the Garcia family?"
The room fell silent.
Elena looked up at Madelyn, her barely concealed guilt revealing her inner turmoil.
"I was at the Miller residence for ten years. Amelia and Caleb always knew where I was but never sought me out.. They only acted like loving parents and begged me to return because you fell for Andrew." Amelia had indeed begged. Amelia had tearfully appeared before Madelyn and held her while saying that she was the former's dear daughter. Madelyn was led to believe that she was accidentally lost and that Because of that belief, Madelyn went home with Amelia, but ultimately, she was nothing but a stepping stone for them.
She had allowed Elena to see Andrew whenever. the latter wanted and had helped the entire Garcia family.
Looking back now, Madelyn was sure that all the ber
she threw their way were all just wasted in their filthy hands.
