Chapter 714

Chapter 714:

And yet, despite everything, Patty felt no pity—only a faint, smug satisfaction. Ha! Savannah had always carried herself so arrogantly. Would she still wear that smug face after all of this?

“By the way, what happened to you?” Babette asked, her gaze shifting to Madisyn with a touch of concern.

Madisyn replied calmly, “It seems Patty has an issue with me. I was abducted in the restroom and woke up to find myself beaten.”

“What?” Patty exclaimed, her voice rising in alarm. “It was Savannah who beat you, not me.”

As soon as the words left her lips, Patty realized her mistake, and she was met with a sea of stunned stares. She stumbled, trying to correct herself. “No, that’s not what I meant.”

“How did you know it was Savannah who beat me up?” Madisyn asked, her tone unwavering. “Patty, you’ve never hidden your disdain for me. Why are you pinning this on Savannah?”

Patty felt her chest tighten with frustration, teetering on the edge of losing control. It wasn’t her! She couldn’t understand why Savannah would kidnap Madisyn, but she assumed Madisyn must have provoked her in some way. Meanwhile, Yolanda shot Patty a sharp, warning look.

With a clenched jaw, Patty muttered, “I was just… joking.”

“You were just joking?” Madisyn shot back, her voice tinged with accusation. “To cover up your own misdeeds, you framed your cousin. Not only did you kidnap me, but you also dragged Princess Savannah’s name through the mud!”

Patty opened her mouth, but no words came out. “Patty, you’ve really made a mistake this time,” Yolanda said, her tone firm. “Someone, take her away.”

Turning her attention to Madisyn, Yolanda added, “I sincerely apologize for this. I promise she will face the consequences she deserves.”

Madisyn’s lips curled into a sneer. She knew that removing Patty was Yolanda’s way of protecting her. “Perhaps it would be better for the queen to handle this,” Madisyn suggested, her tone dripping with mockery. “Everyone knows about your connection to Patty. If you go easy on her, people will think you’re biased towards your niece, and that won’t reflect well on your reputation, will it?”

Her logic was irrefutable.

Yolanda watched helplessly as Babette’s men escorted Patty away. A wave of dizziness swept over her. Why was everything spiraling out of control today?

She caught a glimpse of Madisyn, who, despite her youth, radiated a sharp intellect. This was no ordinary woman! Yet, Yolanda had no time to dwell on Patty’s fate. She had to find Savannah and quickly made her exit.

Babette, her expression clouded with concern, examined Madisyn’s injuries. “Did Savannah really hit you?”

“Yes, to lure Andrew out,” Madisyn replied, her voice steady.

“I’ll have a doctor attend to your injuries and ensure you receive the best care,” Babette said, guiding Madisyn back to her place and summoning a physician immediately.

As the doctor tended to Madisyn’s wounds, she remained silent, her composure both impressive and unsettling.
