Chapter 152 Cameron’s Wishful Thinking

No, they are not going to treat Angie kindly like they did before. After all, Angie is now part of the Wendels. Thinking that Angie was now her daughter and Xander’s, Cameron was struck by her own fear about the worst case scenario—the broken tie between Angie and the Taylor Family.

“I would stop having those pipe dreams if I were you!” Crystal glared at Cameron with a cold piercing gaze, and it felt like sharp blades that plunged through the latter’s skin. “Raising your b*stard child for you and Xander is the most disgusting thing I have ever done! She better not show up in front of me ever again. If she does, I’m going to beat her up every time I see her just like the way you treated my daughter years ago!”

“How dare you!” Cameron shouted, “Are you even human, Crystal?! Angie is innocent! After all those years in which she treated you as her mother, how could you just disregard the moments you both once shared together and turn against her? Where is your heart?!”

“You have the audacity to talk to me about conscience, eh? I thought you were a complete stranger to conscience.” Crystal smiled coldly and added, “You abused and tried to get my daughter killed, so do you seriously think I’m going to treat your daughter with kindness? Just wait and see, Cameron! I’ll make sure your daughter suffers a fate worse than mine right now!”

Little did Cameron know that Crystal was actually saying those words to pique her. After all, she was nothing like Cameron and the most she could do was to stop treating Angie kindly like she used to. While Crystal couldn’t bring herself to do Angie any harm, she wanted to scare Cameron with her false threats to make sure Cameron lived in fear. Seeing you suffer is an absolute sight for sore eyes to me, Cameron!

However, Cameron took Crystal’s fake scare seriously as her petty and wicked nature prompted her to draw her own conclusions with Crystal’s words. The lady was on the verge of going mad as she tried to stand up once again, only to be restrained by the warden.

She then gave Crystal an evil stare with a horrible expression on her face while she bellowed intimidatingly, “If you ever dare to lay a finger on my daughter, I swear I will haunt you even in death, Crystal!”

Deep down, swapping Angie’s place with Madeline’s was the proudest thing Cameron had ever done in her life. After all, she was an illegitimate daughter herself as she was constantly governed by contemptuous judgment and disdainful insults. While Cameron and Crystal were both sisters with the same father, Crystal was always the one who received all the spotlight and attention, but Cameron, on the other hand, had to live like a rat in the sewer without anyone else’s respect. Why is it so unfair to me?! We’re both daughters of our father, but why does Crystal get to be the gorgeous lady and have everything she ever wants in her life while I get looked down upon?! This doesn’t seem fair at all! Despite her frustration, Cameron had quickly recognized her inability to change her fate as she begrudgingly admitted Crystal’s superior status over hers. Therefore, she did everything she could in her power and swapped Crystal’s daughter with hers so that Angie could take Madeline’s rightful place and enjoy the comfort and wealth the Wendel Family could provide her.

While Cameron had faced countless failures in her life, swapping Madeline’s place with Angie’s was the one right thing she deemed she had done well. After all, she had managed to disgrace Crystal’s daughter with her illegitimate origin by becoming Madeline’s mother. Although Madeline was subsequently taken in by the Taylor Family, she still had to live her life like a servant while Angie was the apple of the eye in the Wendel Family. At the thought of that, Cameron couldn’t help but feel any happier about the greatest achievement in her life.

Nevertheless, Cameron was disappointed when she realized her plan was about to be thwarted after her daughter’s actual identity was discovered. What was worse was that Cameron couldn’t believe that Crystal would harden her heart and cast her away from the Wendel Family, even threatening to retaliate on her despite the moments she had shared with Angie in the past two decades.

Thinking about Angie and Madeline’s earlier fate, she considered her plan a success and a victory for herself. While you helped raise my daughter up, I was busy torturing your daughter, Crystal!

Nonetheless, now that Cameron knew her victory was about to slip away from her fingers, her heart felt like it was burning so much that she would die in the next second. As she clenched her fists, she slammed the table hard and said, “You raised Angie up, Crystal! If you lay a finger on her, you’ll become nothing like an animal, and you’re going to get what’s coming to you!”

“Well, I don’t have to do that.” Crystal coldly continued, “Like mother, like daughter—this is why you and your daughter are two worthless ladies with no sense of shame at all. Take your daughter for an example; I can’t believe she repaid Nicholas’ kindness by trying to make love with him and forcing him to marry her, but unfortunately, Nicholas has fallen for someone else and would never marry her. Therefore, she lost her virginity and failed to get what she wanted not long before she was roughed up by Nicholas and his mother. In the end, she was sent away by them to the Colt Residence…”

She coldly smiled and added, “I heard that Xander’s wife is a feisty tigress, so how do you think she is going to treat a promiscuous lady like Angie?”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Cameron’s eyes were bloodshot as she was on the verge of losing her sanity. She was then seen wildly slamming the table as she screamed in a loud voice and said, “Crystal, you mustn’t do that to Angie! You can’t do that! You can’t!”

In fact, Cameron initially thought that someone as kind as Crystal would continue to treat Angie well even after discovering her actual identity, considering the moments they shared together in the last twenty years and her reputation. Deep down, she was even looking forward to witnessing Crystal’s disappointment upon finding out that the daughter whom Crystal had spent twenty years raising up was actually hers.

Since she believed that Crystal would be devastated by the truth, Cameron took her sister’s kindness for granted as she reckoned Crystal would continue to treat Angie well for the sake of their bond and her own reputation.

Nevertheless, things took an unexpected turn when Crystal, whom Cameron had thought was always too kind, decided to send Angie away from the Taylor Family to the Colt Family.

Since she was also aware of the cranky temper of Xander’s wife, she didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to her daughter when Angie arrived at the Colt Residence. Angie is the only daughter I have, and I put all my hopes in her to give us both a better life.

Having swapped Angie’s place with Madeline’s in the Wendel Family, Cameron was hoping that would give her daughter a head start in marrying into a family even more prestigious than Wendels. When the dust settled, she would tell Crystal the shocking truth about Angie’s actual identity and reveal to her that she, Cameron, was Angie’s mother.

As for Crystal’s biological daughter, she would probably be living in the Taylor Family like a servant, which Cameron believed would break Crystal’s heart and scar her for the rest of her life. By then, she would have won her battle against Crystal, but in reality, she lost everything, including her last hope.

“You b*tch, Crystal! I’m going to kill you!” Cameron succumbed to her hatred and vengeance, rising to her feet as she shoved the warden behind her before charging at the woman.
