Chapter 875
Madeline stared at the bag thrown off to the side.
The bag was far from large, but it was certainly big enough to hold a four-year-old.
Not to mention that with how heartless Meredith was, Madeline would not be surprised if she had done such a thing.
Staring blankly at the bag for a few seconds, Madeline quickly went over to it.
Meredith watched Madeline open the bag anxiously and tiptoed behind Madeline. Raising the shovel in her hands, Meredith’s eyes were fierce.
‘Go to hell, Eveline!
‘Between you and I, only one of us can survive!’
She aimed the shovel at the back of Madeline’s head and swung as hard as she could.
Meredith was about to get away with it when Madeline suddenly turned around and evaded her attack, catching her wrist.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that I’m the person you want dead the most, Meredith? Did you think that I’d still be as careless as I used to be?” Madeline’s gaze was sharp. Her will as a mother was giving her strength. “I’m your target. If you think you’re so powerful, then come after me! Don’t touch my children!”
Meredith struggled out of Madeline’s grasp in mortification and staggered backward. “Let me tell you, Eveline Montgomery, so what if I’m not powerful? So what if I decide to hurt your child? What’re you going to do about it?”
She chucked madly with a wretched gaze in her eyes. “I should never have been soft-hearted and let that b*stard child of yours live!”
“Soft-hearted?” Madeline had never felt more lied to by this act of ‘soft-heartedness’. “Madeline Crawford, you didn’t keep Jack by your side because you were soft-hearted, no. You kept him there because he could get you what you wanted!”
With the truth revealed, Meredith clenched her jaw in evident infuriation.
Madeline slowly approached Meredith, her every step overwhelming with dominance. “You had someone hit me in jail under Jeremy’s name, took Jack, almost killed my husband, marred my face, removed my corneas, and tried to come between Jeremy and me. I haven’t forgotten a thing you’ve done to me!
Madeline could guess what Meredith was thinking from the look in her eyes. She was not in the mood to waste more time on the other. “Speak, Meredith Crawford. Where is my daughter?”
Flushing from the lack of breath, Meredith smiled sinisterly. “Ha. Eveline Montgomery, if you think you’re so great, then kill me now! Though I’d like to know how you plan on finding your darling daughter with me dead!”
Madeline’s fingers on Meredith’s neck loosened slightly.
As much as she wanted the woman to die, Lillian was still the precious child.
Meredith gave a wicked smile as she recognized the hesitation in Madeline’s eyes.
Just as she was about to attack Madeline while the other was in a daze, a deep and mesmerizing voice cut through the air.
“Killing you would only dirty Linnie’s hands. I’ll do it instead.”
Meredith’s heart shook in her chest as a bone-chilling chill shot up from the bottom of her feet.
