Chapter 32 How Dare He Force You to Come Back to Him
Madelyn lost her job. But she didn't tell Camila about it for the time being as she didn't want the latter to worry about her.
She sat on a bench in the park alone and got lost in her thoughts.
The sunshine was perfect, but Madelyn felt very cold.
She checked the financial statement of her family and found that they would have little money left as they had to pay a large sum to Owen soon and they needed to spend some money on improving her father's life in prison.
Madelyn pulled out a thin necklace that was decorated with a light-pink diamond from under her shirt.
She caressed it for a long while in a dilemma. In the end, she still made up her mind and came to a pawn shop. The manager of the shop studied the necklace for a long while and said, "I can only give you sixty thousand it the pawn is redeemable. But if you choose to make the pawn irredeemable, I can give you more. How about two hundred thousand?"
The pink diamond was worth at least five hundred thousand dollars, but Madelyn couldn't care about it now.
She needed money!
Madelyn said with a bitter smile, "Irredeemable, please."
She got a cheque of two hundred thousand and then collected all the cash they had at home before going to Owen's law firm to pay the fees. When she walked out of the law firm, she got a phone call from Vivian.
Vivian had heard from others that Madelyn had lost her job. She asked, "Where are you? I'll come to find you and treat me to a meal." Madelyn agreed as it was not convenient for her to go back home now.
Vivian treated her to a hotpot meal. In the steaming restaurant, Vivian put a beef roll into the spicy pot while cursing, "Elizabeth, that bitch! I didn't like her when we studied at the university. She would try to seduce any men who looked successful. At that time, when you were Daniel's girlfriend, she even tried to seduce Daniel, publicly or secretly."
Madelyn was dumbfounded for a while. Then she said with a bland smile, "Now her wish finally comes true."
She retold what Elizabeth had said to Vivian.
Vivian was very shocked when she heard the words. But when she came back to her sense, she cursed, "Fuck, such a bitch. Daniel is also a jerk. Jerk and bitch, perfect match!"
Fearing that Madelyn would feel unhappy, she comforted her, "Don't take it to your heart. Anyway, Daniel is now Eloise's man. His disloyalty doesn't have anything to do with us."
Madelyn suddenly recalled that Benjamin once told her that Eloise once committed suicide because of Daniel... Maybe Benjamin also knew Daniel's love affairs. It was just that he was turning a blind eye to that.
Madelyn was absent-minded. Vivian nudged her and said, "Don't feel upset for that scumbag."
Madelyn shook her head and replied, "I won't."
Vivian sighed and said, "That's right. Compared to a scumbag, money is more important."
She took out another bank car as she was worried that Madelyn would lack money. Madelyn refused it and said softly, "I don't need it for the time being."
Vivian didn't believe it.
Madelyn put a piece of meat into her bowl and said gently, "I sold my necklace."
Vivian was dumbfounded.
After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "Hey, why didn't you discuss it with me? It's the only thing that your mother left to you. And you'd never taken it down since childhood."
Madelyn patted the back of her hand. But when she was about to say something to comfort Vivian, her phone which was put on the desk rang.
It was from the manager of the restaurant where Madelyn was a part-time worker.
Madelyn answered the call. The manager said something, and then Madelyn slowly put down her phone and said to Vivian, "I was dismissed by the restaurant."
Vivian was furious.
She snapped, "Daniel did it, right? Why is he still pestering you? Madelyn, go, let's go to find him. I must seek justice for you. That son of bitch has deceived you for four years, and now he's trying all means to force you. Will he only feel satisfied until you die?"
Madelyn stopped Vivian.
She begged Vivian not to go to find Daniel because she knew that Daniel did all this to force her to surrender. He wanted her to be his mistress!
Vivian cried and cursed, "How could Daniel treat you like that? He was engaged with Eloise and had an affair with that bitch, Elizabeth. He's so dirty. How dare he ask you to come back to him?" Madelyn begged Vivian not to go there because she knew Daniel did all those things to force her to be his mistress.
Vivian was so angry that she cried out. "How could Daniel treat you like that? He not only engaged with the other woman but also had an affair with that bitch Elizabeth. He's so filthy. What qualification does he have to ask you to come back to him?"
