Chapter 417

Diana was instantly dumbfounded after hearing such an answer. She shook her head with an expression of disbelief. She could not accept it.

“How can that be? Impossible! How could that btch be Madam’s daughter? She’s not worthy. She’s not worthy of the title of the Montgomeries’ young lady at all. She’s just a btch—”

‘You shut up!” Eloise was outraged. “Who are you to curse my daughter like that? If my daughter isn’t worthy, then are you worthy? You did these despicable and shameless things that are lower than the low, and yet you still have the gall to criticize my daughter? Diana, you don’t have humanity or conscience. You’re simply not worthy of being human!”

Eloise reprimanded her furiously. Thinking of the hardships that Madeline might have experienced during the years after she was swapped, Eloise’s heart hurt beyond words.

“Eloise, what’s the matter?” Seeing Eloise teetering as if she was about to faint, Sean held her nervously.

Eloise burst into tears and raised her hand to hold her chest. “Oh Sean, my heart hurts. It really hurts.

Our daughter could have grown up living a peaceful and prosperous life, but who would have thought that she would actually be killed like that…”

As she spoke, her red, tearful eyes glared angrily at Diana.

“From the moment you came to the Montgomeries until now, when have I ever treated you badly? I’ve only ever treated you kindly and even helped you to get married, but the result? I didn’t expect you to think so little of how well we treated you that you actually paid back our kindness with ingratitude!

“Brittany was a good girl. Even when Sean and I discovered that she wasn’t ours back then, we never treated her badly, but what about you? How did you treat my daughter? If it weren’t for your skulduggery back then, my Eveline wouldn’t have ended up dead!”

“Madam, I didn’t expect things to become like this. I indeed handed Madeline to my sister back then and had her take good care of Madeline.” Diana was pushing the blame. She then said with dissatisfaction, “But, Madam, your daughter murdered my daughter. Even if she has died, her death still left a margin of inexorable guilt. It was what she deserved. My Brittany is the most innocent and most pitiful one!”

“You…”

Hearing Diana making such righteous remarks, Eloise and Sean were outraged.

This was simply absurd and ridiculous!

She had obviously done such an unforgivable and despicable thing yet she still blamed the victim.

“Diana, you listen to me! My daughter has never harmed anyone. She was innocent! Brittany was killed by someone else! On the contrary, you killed my daughter! She was killed by an idiotic, evil, and unreasonable fool like you!”

Eloise had exploded entirely, venting all the emotions in her heart.

“You keep saying that you want to avenge your daughter. You listen to me now. I want to get justice for my daughter! I will have you take responsibility for all the absurd things you’ve done!”

After Eloise warned Diana while pointing at her, she turned and walked away quickly.

Sean did not hesitate to call the police immediately.

Not long after, the police arrived. Sean told them the whole story and Diana was taken away.

As she was being taken away, she still insisted that she did nothing wrong and thought that her daughter, Brittany, was the most pitiful. She did not even realize that her selfishness and greed had destroyed a family of three that was initially warm and complete.

Although the atmosphere quieted down after Diana was taken away, there was a trace of melancholy and gloominess in the air.

Madeline exchanged a few words with Jeremy before going upstairs to Eloise’s room.

When she reached the door, she heard Eloise’s whimpers and sobs.

A faint ache emerged again from the thorn in her heart.

After settling her emotions, Madeline raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Mrs. Montgomery, are you alright?”

Hearing this, Eloise immediately took a tissue to wipe her tears. She tried to put on a smile before saying, “Miss Vera, please come in.”

Madeline walked in calmly only to see Eloise’s red, crying eyes. She recalled what Eloise had said to Diana just now. A hint of distress involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

“Mrs. Montgomery, don’t be so upset. If your daughter is here to see this, she’ll definitely not want Mr.

Montgomery and you to feel sad for her.”

Hearing Madeline’s comforting words, Eloise’s tears flooded even more.

She looked at Madeline’s face with tears sparkling in her eyes. Slowly lifting her trembling hand, she stroked the delicate and soft face in front of her gently.
