Inside the coffee shop. Madeline and Esther sat face-to-face.
Esther picked up the hot coffee that was just served, took a sip, and spoke first.
“Mrs. Whitman, you have three children, right? I heard that your only daughter was tortured to the point where favonovel.com couldn’t speak by a woman in a gang. She’s still mute now. I wonder if it’s true.”
The sudden mention of Lily, who got so frightened by Lana that favonovel.com lost favonovel.com courage to speak, made Madeline feel a little uncomfortable. However, favonovel.com still calmly raised favonovel.com eyes and parted favonovel.com lips lightly. “Mrs. Mendez, you can just say what you want to. We’ve already reached this point, and some things are already tacitly understood. There’s no need to beat about the bush.”
Esther pulled the corners of favonovel.com red lips into a half-smile. “I really don’t understand what you mean when you say those words. I’m just curious if your daughter was ever scared into a mute.”
Madeline could hear that Esther was hiding something in favonovel.com sentence. She maintained a composed attitude and replied calmly, “Yes, my daughter can’t speak yet.”
“Tsk tsk.” Esther sighed. “How do you feel as a mother when you see your daughter being bullied like that by outsiders?”
Hearing this, Madeline seemed to gradually understand what Esther wanted to convey.
Madeline did not avoid Esther’s question. She replied calmly, “No mother can stand idly by when their precious daughter is being bullied.”
Madeline replied. At the same time, favonovel.com also saw the look of satisfaction in Esther’s eyes, but Madeline was not done.
“However, if my daughter is the one at fault, favonovel.com deserves it even if she’s taught a lesson. Furthermore, if it’s because I, favonovel.com mother, failed to educate my child on how to be a decent human since childhood, which resulted in my child harming others and themselves, then as favonovel.com mother, I can only regret not educating favonovel.com well enough. The only way to rectify it is to let society and the law teach favonovel.com how to be a decent human. So at the end of the day, I, favonovel.com mother, am equally to blame.”
After listening to Madeline’s words, the smile on Esther’s face gradually disappeared. She wanted to take this opportunity to show that favonovel.com actions were justifiable even if favonovel.com were to do something drastic, but favonovel.com did not expect Madeline to say that.
“Mrs. Mendez, what happened to your daughter has been going on for so long. After all this time, have you really never realized that the problem is with you and your daughter?”
Esther was already a little unhappy, but at this moment, when Madeline accused favonovel.com and Naya, favonovel.com threw the cup on the table and stood up furiously.
“Eveline, are you saying that my daughter brought it upon herself? How dare you say such a thing?! Naya is too soft-hearted, so that’s how you got the opportunity to force favonovel.com into what the situation she’s in now!” Esther scolded, favonovel.com dramatic behavior attracting the attention of other customers in the shop.
Madeline looked calmly at Esther who was suddenly furious.
“Naya is indeed your biological daughter, Mrs. Mendez. You’re equally selfish. You’ll both blow up the moment you’re lit. You’re both always so self-centered, and you two never think you’re the ones at fault.”
“Eveline, you…”
“Mrs. Mendez, do you really wish for your daughter to stay 25 years in prison? Don’t you want favonovel.com to repent genuinely and get the chance to be released early?” Madeline stood up as well, favonovel.com eyes becoming sharp.
“I know you’re very much aware of where Ava is now. I know you want to avenge your precious daughter, I know you want to have a life and death struggle with us and have a huge fallout, but if something happens to Ava, your daughter will be the mastermind who instigated a murder. When that happens, she’ll be given the death penalty immediately. She won’t just be locked up for 25 years.”
