Chapter 2409
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 she
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 she lost her courage to speak, made Madeline feel
a little uncomfortable.
However, she still calmly raised her eyes and parted her 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."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEsther pulled the corners of her red lips into a halfsmile. "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 her 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, she also saw the look of satisfaction in Esther's eyes, but Madeline was not
done. 1
“However, if my daughter is the one at fault, she deserves it even if she's taught a lesson."
“Furthermore, if it's because I, her 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 her mother, I can only regret not
educating her well enough. The only way to rectify it is to let society and the law teach her how to be a decent
human. So at the end of the day, I, her 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 her actions were justifiable even if she were to do something
drastic, but she 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 her and Naya, she 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoft-hearted, so that's how you got the opportunity to force her into what the situation she's in now."
Esther scolded, her 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 selfcentered, 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 her to repent
genuinely and get the chance to be released early?”
Madeline stood up as well, her 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."
