Abusive Wife Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Madeline seemed indifferent to seeing Suzette.

“It really is you, Madeline! You’re back! I missed you!” Suzette could no longer leave with Madeline already at the door, so she gave Elise a hard look, and then approached her daughter and played the part of a worried mother.

She wanted to hug Madeline, but the latter dodged her advances.

“Oh, where have you been all these years? I was so worried about you. I’m relieved to see you’re safe and sound.”

Suzette had pounced on air and had somewhat embarrassed herself and struggled to shift the attention away from her.

She, however, didn’t give up on grabbing Madeline’s hand. This time, Madeline

had no time to dodge when Elise spoke

“What? What did you say? You’re saying Madeline is your daughter? Aren’t you Mrs. Lowe? Madeline is a Grant. Did you remarry? Huh, I didn’t hear anything about that…” She cut in with a timely interruption.

The look on Suzette’s face turned positively dark.

“Excuse me, I’ve been telling you that you’ve got the wrong person. I’m Madeline’s mother. It’s Mrs. Grant. Not Mrs. Lowe. Please get your story straight!” She tried to cover it up with her stature as a noblewoman.

“That’s impossible. I have the surveillance footage from the store on my phone. Let me look it up!”

“What are you trying to do here, Miss?” Elise’s reluctance to let the matter slide made Suzette come forward to threaten her in a low whisper.

“What’s wrong? Does Mrs. Lowe want to shut me up?” The girl didn’t waver and whispered back. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

It looked like the two were whispering to one another.

Madeline could tell what Elise was up to with a single glance and said nothing.

“Name your price,” Suzette said through gritted teeth.

I knew this b*tch was out for blood!

“A hundred thousand!” Elise wasn’t that cruel.

“Why don’t you go out on your way to

steal instead?!” Suzette nearly screamed.

She exerted even more force in her hold

on Elise’s arm.

Elise was no pushover. The moment she felt a piercing pain, she raised her voice.

“Give me a sec, Madeline. Mrs. Lowe and I are still looking for the footage!”

“Shut up! One hundred thousand it is. You’ll get it tonight!”

“No, pay up and I’ll shut up! You don’t want Madeline to find out her mother got herself a lover, do you? Hey, maybe Mr. Grant has no idea he’s getting cuckolded either!”

She lamented, leaving no room for Suzette to haggle.

Suzette still had to count on Madeline to climb the social ladder. Nothing could go wrong with their family dynamics. After all, she knew the child was not of her own flesh and blood but Madeline

was none the wiser.

Bruno would never let her off the hook if he were to find out about her affair, let alone allow her to play the role of Madeline’s mother.

She would have nothing!

She gritted her teeth and whipped out her phone to transfer the funds to Elise’s account.

Elise received it and cooperatively approached Madeline.

“I’m sorry, Maddie. It was a

misunderstanding. Mrs. Grant looked so much like Mrs. Lowe, who came by my

shop the other day. I got it all wrong. Don’t let this ruin your relationship!”

“She was speaking nonsense, Madeline. Don’t look too much into it.”

“It’s good that it was just a misunderstanding. But we have guests over today. If it’s nothing important, I’ll have to ask you to leave, Mrs. Grant.”

“Come, Elise. Everyone’s waiting for you.”

Elise got what she wanted out of Suzette. It meant Madeline had no more use for her for the moment and turned her away even before she could speak and shut the door in her face.

“Huh? Madeline? Madeline! I still have a lot to tell you. You can’t treat your mother this way!”

She had been cheated out of 100,000, only to have Madeline shut her out.

No one answered the door again no matter how she screamed and shouted.

That was the moment she realized she had been played for a fool.

That idiotic woman must’ve colluded with Madeline to swindle her!

She was that close to exploding from anger!

In the villa.

Elise clung onto Madeline’s arm as she cackled.

“Hahaha, did you see her face? That was hilarious!”

“You’re celebrating too soon. She’s a vengeful woman and will retaliate. You should be careful from now on!” Madeline was in a pleasant mood after watching Suzette being swindled, but it didn’t take away from her caution.

“Don’t worry. I will. Come, you get a share too!” Elise giggled as she deposited money into Madeline’s account.

“Golden Child has received a transaction of 50,000…”

She received a notification on her phone and helplessly shook her head at her friend.

“Thank you for your generosity!”

“You’re now responsible for my safety! Are Mr. Quincy and his boy toy still here? Why don’t I just hunker down here

for a few days?”

She finally revealed the reason she gave Madeline a share. Her eyes were

scanning her surroundings the moment she came inside to witness her favorite couple pair in action.

Madeline felt as if she had shot herself in the foot.

“Well, Elise, we are women. You should be more reserved about your interests. When you meet Noah and Dylan, you must not drool, let alone make it obvious. I’m begging you.”

“Don’t worry about it. Do I look like someone who just drools? I’ve seen a lot. I’m not going to scream even if they come up to me in the same pair of pants!”

“You better keep your word!”

“OMG, Madeline! T-That delicate-looking man. Isn’t he the one who stripped Noah? He’s hot!”

“Elise!”

“Huh?”

“We talked about this. What happened

to not screaming?”

“Okay, I’ll be calm.”

“You’re drooling? That delicate-looking man is probably going to think you’re going to eat him whole…”
