Madeline smiled happily when she saw Karen avoiding her.

"If I remember correctly, you said that everyone would be happy if I died. However, from the looks of it now, it seems pretty difficult for you to be happy now."

"..." Karen was speechless. She looked more and more defeated.

Yvonne looked at Karen behind her, then yelled at Madeline with an arrogant look on her face, "So you're Jeremy's dead ex-wife Madeline. If you're not dead, why did you pretend to be dead to scare my aunt? I'm warning you, if you dare to be so unrestrained, I'll—”

"This is between me and them. It's best if you mind your own business." Madeline interrupted domineeringly with a cold gaze. "Don't say that I didn't warn you. If you don't want to get burnt, you'd better step aside."

"..." Yvonne wanted to stand up for Karen, but she was stunned when she saw Madeline's imposing manner.

When she saw Madeline walking over, Yvonne shut up in fear and stepped aside.

With nothing in front of her, Karen lifted her head to look at Madeline while shaking furiously.

"M-Madeline, what do you want? What are you trying to do?"

"What do I want? Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Madeline asked. The smile on her face was filled with flames of revenge. "I searched in my heart and I can say that I've never done anything that has harmed the Whitman family. Meredith was the one behind my marriage to Jeremy. However, how did you people treat me? You were convinced that I climbed into Jeremy's bed shamelessly. When you were unhappy, you let out your anger on me. You believed everything Meredith said! You never once treated me like I was human!

"I was your daughter-in-law but you never recognized me. You even said that I'm the Whitmans' maid. You kept forcing me, the lawfully wedded wife, to divorce Jeremy so that Meredith could get my position. What did I owe you? Why did I have to endure all the insults and torture you gave me?

"I was innocent when I was married into this family. However, Meredith forced the title of a fickle woman on me. When she was slandering me and claiming that I was having an affair with another man, all of you chose to believe her. You supported her and yelled profanities at me. I was battered and bruised. You even believed that I was the one who worked with that thug, Tanner, to kidnap Jackson. Did I deserve to get bullied by you all just because I was poor and had a petty status?"

Madeline complained. Karen lowered her head in fear. She turned her face and stammered, "T-That's between you and Meredith. She's the one who harmed you. What does it have to do with me? If you want revenge, you should go to her!"

"Nothing to do with you?" Madeline asked with a laugh. "Did you forget how you had slapped me again and again, calling me a b*tch? You might have forgotten about it, but I never will!"

"I came back for dinner that day to act in concert with Jeremy. I was very sick and in a lot of pain. However, you believed Meredith's instigations and forced me to eat your curry. I threw up that day, but I didn't do it on purpose. I was in severe pain! You were so sure that I was purposely going against you but you didn't see that I was vomiting blood!"

"..." Karen's breath hitched. She did not dare to say another word.

She really did not know that Madeline had vomited blood that time.

She thought that Madeline was just going against her.

After she finished talking, there was an icy breeze in the room.

Madeline took a deep breath. There was a small and calm smile on her stunning face. "I really liked Jeremy back then, but I kept the fondness I had for him in my heart. I never even fantasized about marrying him, but God decided to play that joke on me."

She smirked in self-mockery.

"I thought I was the luckiest woman on earth. However, after I married him, I realized that I was the unluckiest woman on earth."

Madeline put on her coat nonchalantly as she looked at Karen's complicated expression. She then took her bag and lifted her spirited eyes.

"My dear mother-in-law, if you had gone just a little easier on me, this would not have happened. I'll give all of you a huge gift to repay for what you've done to me back then." Madeline smiled before she stopped. "Remember to enjoy it."

""

Madeline laughed as she looked at Karen who was stuck in a daze. Then, she turned around elegantly.

However, the moment she turned around and saw the person who was standing behind her, she was taken aback.
