Chapter 153 That Word Disgusts Me

Just as Michael and the rest were about to stand in front of Crystal, they were shoved away by the lady herself. She then landed a kick on Cameron’s belly, sending her staggering backward before she collapsed onto the ground. After that, she walked up to Cameron and put her foot on the latter’s chest while looking down with her eyes fixed on her face.

“Cameron, your daughter is going to be like you for the rest of her life; no one who is going to respect her. Meanwhile, what about my daughter?” Crystal beckoned Madeline over and seized her hand, proudly revealing a smile. “Take a closer look, Crystal! This is my daughter, Maddie!

Do you know whose kids Quincy and Joel are? They are Mr. Hart’s sons. That’s right, the man from the prestigious Hart Family in Dusktown—Sebastian Hart! My daughter is married to Mr. Hart, and Quincy and Joel will be the Hart Family’s rightful heirs. Therefore, Maddie is going to live the rest of her life in comfort and wealth while your daughter will never get anywhere close to my daughter’s status!”

Soon, Crystal tipped her toes and applied pressure on Cameron’s chest, squinting and mocking the latter. “How pathetic you are, Cameron! You spent your whole life plotting against us for your daughter, but in the end, my daughter has the last laugh as she is now the apple of everyone’s eye—in fact, she’s just like me. On the other hand, your daughter is going to be like you, a trash beneath everyone’s feet.”

“No way! No!” Cameron slapped Crystal’s foot with all the strength she had left in her. She yelled while shaking her head wildly, “You’re lying to me! This isn’t possible!” There is no way that those two b*stards, Quincy and Joel, are the Hart Family’s heirs! After all, they were just the illegitimate sons that Madeline bore in order to save Sam. “You’re a liar! I’m sure you’re lying!” Her eyes turned red, and it seemed as though they were going to pop out of their eye sockets.Têxt belongs to .

“Don’t you know?” Crystal bent over and looked at her with a gleeful smile. “You’re so pathetic, Cameron. You’ve been scheming your whole life, but you achieved nothing in the end. Instead, your plan changed my daughter’s life and helped her marry into the prestigious Hart Family.

Honestly, I don’t think I’m capable of finding a good husband for my daughter either even if I was going to be in charge. Thus, I must say that I have you to thank for plotting against my daughter; if it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have become a part of the Hart Family now.”

Nonetheless, Crystal didn’t feel that way deep down. Instead of having Madeline marry into the Hart Family, she wished that her daughter could marry into a modest family so that they could stand up for her should her husband ever mistreat her one day. However, the Hart Family was too much of a match for the Wendel Family to handle.

Therefore, if Madeline was ever mistreated by anyone in the Hart Family, the most they could do was to bring her back to them and provide her a haven of comfort.

After all, they didn’t have what it would take to retaliate on the Hart Family. For that, Crystal was especially anxious when she realized there was little the Wendel Family could do to stand up for Madeline if the Hart Family did her daughter wrong. Thus, she wished for Madeline to marry into a modest family instead so that the Wendel Family could protect her better.

Nevertheless, it was too late for Crystal to do anything. After all, Madeline was already the Hart Family’s daughter-in-law when the mother and daughter reunited. Although Crystal didn’t think the Hart Family was where Madeline belonged with, she refused to reveal her true feelings in the face of Cameron, misleading the latter into thinking that she was satisfied with her son-in-law.

Needless to say, it didn’t occur to Cameron that way as she didn’t share the same concern as Crystal had. Knowing Cameron would only feel jealous of herself and her daughter, Crystal was sure the former would be suffocated by her own hatred and jealousy, which was exactly what she wanted to see.

On the other hand, Cameron was about to lose her mind, wondering why her fate was playing a joke with her. How come Madeline’s b*stard sons were born into the Hart Family in Dusktown? In fact, she’s now guaranteed a wealthy life because of her sons, as well as her marriage with Mr. Hart.

No! No way! Madeline is living a better life than Crystal. She’s gotten a better husband for herself than her mother did. No! How is this fair?! As she blamed her own fate, Cameron kepet asking herself what she had done wrong to deserve so much suffering while dragging her daughter down with her.

In the meantime, her jealousy prompted her to resent Crystal and Madeline for living a better life than her. “I will kill you! I swear I’m going to kill you!” She struggled wildly with tears rolling down her cheeks, feeling as if her organs were burning on the inside like she was suffering a fate worse than death.

Meanwhile, Crystal continued to make sure Cameron stayed beneath her foot. “You know what, Cameron? You have yourself to blame for how you end up today. I promised Dad not to do anything to you as long as you mind your own business. You could have lived a happy life with Xander; he would have at least made sure you wouldn’t have to worry about making a living even if your life might not be exactly comfortable, but you—you threw away all that and put yourself in your current miserable state!”

Then, she tiptoed and put pressure on Cameron’s body with a sneer on her face. “How does it feel to be behind bars anyway? How do you feel sharing the same cell with a few other inmates?” Then, Crystal moved closer to Cameron’s ear and whispered, “This is just the beginning, Cameron! I’m going to make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail.”

“No! No way!” Cameron was seen with her eyes wide open in horror. “You can’t do that, Crystal! You mustn’t do that to me. I’m your sister! You’re going to get what’s coming to you for treating your sister that way!”

“I’m going to get what’s coming to me?” Crystal smiled glacially. “You know what? If someone is going to get what’s coming to her, it’s going to be you who gets it first!” The lady smiled contemptuously and bent over, leaning closer to Cameron’s ear. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to send your daughter here to keep you company. By then, you will no longer feel lonely anymore.”

“No! No! You can’t do that! You mustn’t do that!” Cameron shook her head wildly, screaming at the top of her lungs like she had finally come to realize her mistakes. The next moment, she hugged Crystal’s foot and sobbed pathetically. “I’m sorry, Crystal! It was all my fault! Please! Please show me mercy!

After all, you promised Dad that you will leave me alone and let me live a peaceful life, so you mustn’t go back on your word. Just let me go, Crystal. Get me out of here. I don’t want to stay here any longer! Please help me and spare Angie. You can’t do that to her. She is your daughter whom you’ve raised for the past twenty years.”

“Are you calling me your sister?” Crystal stomped Cameron’s face hard with her foot repeatedly. “Do you know how much that word disgusts me?!”

“Ah…” Cameron screamed in agony as she shoved Crystal away.

In that instant, the warden came closer and stood between Cameron and Crystal, whom she reluctantly told to stop. “Mrs. Wendel, you’re making things difficult for me here.”

“I’m so sorry.” Crystal apologetically nodded. “I apologize for the trouble I just brought you, but if your superior insists on holding you responsible, you can always contact my lawyer. I’m more than willing to take full responsibility for what might happen.”

The warden shook her head. “It’s about time now. Look.”
