Chapter 39
Maddie looked very pitiful as she spoke to Jane.
She looked like a miserable puppy about to be abandoned from its home.
As she spoke, tears brimmed in Maddie’s eyes. They looked very red. Her tears looked like
they might cascade down her face at any moment. The people around them promptly fell
for it and felt sorry for her “Whatever it is, the Fowler family adopted Maddie. Jane just
reunited with her family, but she can’t wait to drive Maddie away. Isn’t she *******?”
“People develop relationships even with dogs, let alone humans. The Fowler family raised
Maddie all of these years. Does Jane feel worried about her status in the family?”
“I think she’s just doing it out of jealousy and doesn’t like Maddie. She gives. Maddie a hard
time just because she is related to the Fowler family by blood. She just wants to drive
Maddie out of the family.”
“I did not expect her to be so wicked by nature. Hmph. Does it matter if she has talent? She
has no character and is underhanded by nature.”
Everyone started to defend Maddie and made harsh remarks about Jane. Maddie stood
where she was with her head lowered biting her lip. She clenched her fists as she cried
indignantly.
Her shoulders kept moving as she cried. She looked as though she had suffered great
indignance.
“Have you had enough? You **** Do you have to be so ***?”
Before Jane was able to speak, Lila could not contain herself.
She must have been blind in the past. She found it unfathomable why she could not see
through Maddie’s pretense in the past.
Lila even used to think Maddie was innocent and kind by nature. Oh god.
Lila really wanted to punch her old self for ever thinking this way.
Lila must have been crazy for feeling that way about Maddie.
“L… Lila… I am really not pretending.
Maddie shook her head urgently as tears trickled down her face. Her hesitant stammering
voice was bright and clear and capable of striking a chord with people, making people want
to defend her.
“What do you mean no? You keep crying every time you speak. Just
because *******men fall for your superficial acting, do you think women will do the same?
No wonder people say you do not have any female friends. I did not believe. it at first, but
now I do. No one likes ******.”
Lila attacked Maddie without holding back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn reality, women were far better at identifying *******. Maddie was genuinely very popular
with men at the University of Oricle. However, she was not popular with the ladies.
After all, women were not a fan of women who cried all the time and acted weak and
vulnerable. It promptly set off women’s radars for ********.
If anyone touched or offended her, everyone would think they were ******Maddie, which
made them look like bad people.
Women wanted to stay as far away from Maddie as they could.
It was true some women were blind and incapable of seeing this and ended. up falling for
Maddie’s lies, but most women could see through her act.
A lot of the women present agreed with Lila.
“Oh god. Doesn’t she know what generation we are in? Does she have to cry over
everything?”
“Jane just does not want to talk to her. Does she have to look so hurt and miserable? Is it a
big deal?”
“Just listen to her ***tone. *** it. It’s making me nauseous. Even the ***evil female
supporting roles in s don’t disgust me. as much.”
“Only **********men get fooled by her acts. She is so *** that I can smell it from here.”
The moment the women gossiped about Maddie, the men could not take it.
“We genuinely think Maddie is very pitiful. What do you mean by fooled?”
“Maddie is Jane’s little sister and trying to talk to her. Jane doesn’t give a hoot about her
and even wants to drive her away. This is so wrong.”
“I’m ***** of listening to you girls blaming the victim. Girls can be so petty.” Everything was
about to go out of control when Jane finally spoke.
“What do you want? Maddie, if you want to continue making things look bad, I really don’t
mind.
“After all, I have already severed ties with the Fowler family. You are the daughter of the
family. If the family embarrasses themselves, you will suffer the same fate as well.”
Jane spoke nonchalantly. She blatantly admitted that she had already severed ties with the
Fowler family and had nothing to do with them.
Everyone went into complete silence.
“Huh?”
“Did we hear wrong?”
Maddie looked awkward.
She used to be very good at this, but she did not expect her usual ploys to fail with Jane.
Usually, people would try to pull Maddie away by now.
When the time came, Maddie would then cry a little more and turn to walk off sadly.
She could leave the impression that the foster daughter of the Fowler family was bullied
and disregarded by the newly found biological daughter. Unexpectedly, Lila got involved.
The effect of her plans got severely watered down.
“Janie, I know you’re just saying that because you’re angry. Can we talk, please? I have
something important to say to you.”
Maddie continued acting flawlessly. She acted as though she wanted to approach her older
sister but was ignored and helpless.
Everyone caught on to something.
Jane was deliberately trying to make Maddie upset, so she said she had severed ties with
the Fowler family.
Jane could not be bothered exposing Maddie’s lies. She did not care what unknown people
felt about her situation. She glanced at her watch to check the time and said nonchalantly
with one hand in her pocket, “Fine. You have 10 minutes.”
“Janie, don’t go. Why are you talking to her?”
Lila pulled Jane back as she glared at Maddie.
Maddie was an evil woman. If she wanted to talk to Jane, she had to be up to no good.
Maddie shrank her neck and looked intimidated by Lila.
It looked as though Lila was a big bad *****and Maddie was being pushed around by her.
“It’s okay. Lila, help me get some food, will you? You know what I like.”
Jane looked at Lila assuringly.
“Let’s go.”
“Thank you so much, Janie…”
After Jane and Maddie went to a remote place, Jane stood in front while Maddie stood
behind.
Maddie secretly pressed a button while Jane was not paying attention to
her.
Maddie broke the silence and said in a sad and weak tone, “Janie…”
“Maddie, stop pretending already. Are you not tired of wearing a mask and pretending every
single day?”
Jane turned around and looked at Maddie coldly.
“I have already severed ties with the Fowler family. Don’t you already have what you want?
“You put everything up on social media, bribed the news editor-in-chief, and provided the
photos. You made the Fowler family misunderstand me and drive me out.
“I have already given you what you want. You will always be the daughter of the Fowler
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily, and they hate me to the core. In the future, they will never share the inheritance
with me either. Why do you have to continue
provoking me?”
Maddie promptly looked flustered. Tears welled in her eyes. She shook her head and said,
“Janie… you’re mistaken. I don’t know what you mean at all. I was not behind this at all.”
“Not you? Do you think Jack doesn’t know the truth? He’s the Emeritus Chairman of the
Fowler Corporation. He has the money and connections! “He must know there’s more to
this. I wasn’t the culprit, and the editor-in-chief was bribed. I’m sure he’ll secretly
investigate this. Maddie, how long do you think you can go on hiding?”
Maddie promptly felt startled and afraid inside.
Jane was spot on. She had struck Maddie’s greatest worry.
She was afraid Jack would investigate the problem.
If Jane took the fall for the entire thing like an ******* as planned, she would not have to
worry now.
Unfortunately, Jane exposed the editor-in-chief’s lies, told Jack someone else was the
mastermind, and proved it was not her.
If Jack genuinely continued investigating this…
“Janie, I think this is just a misunderstanding. I really didn’t do it. I swear.”
“I do not need anything from you. Maddie, you must know that Jack has discovered
something wrong, but didn’t continue investigating.
“As for the reason he stopped investigating, you know exactly why he did it. Jack found out
there was a traitor in the Fowler family and it was an inside. job.
“If I got driven out of the Fowler family, who stood to gain the most in the family? Jack did
not spill the truth only in an attempt to save you.”
As Jane spoke, she approached Maddie confidently.
Maddie’s face looked increasingly awkward.
Jane had genuinely hit Maddie’s weaknesses.
Maddie was unable to retort.
“Janie, I know we have a deep misunderstanding between us. However, I’m sure you will
know one day I’m not a bad person.
“I am here today to tell you to return to the Fowler family and apologize to our parents.
They really want you back, but they could not lower
themselves to say it aloud.
“After you fell out with our parents, everyone has been very upset. Our happy family is now
very cold and quiet. Please, Janie. Can you come back?
“If
you are willing to come back home and apologize, I promise I will pack my luggage
immediately and leave home. I will stay far, far away from you and leave you in peace.”
