A kiss

After that, Miller Group took back all the projects that they had given to the

Garcias.

The Garcias had invested a large amount of funds in several of the

projects, and the sudden cancellation of the projects plunged them heavily

into debt.

The Garcias only had two projects, so they didn’t lose too much. Once they paid off their debts, at worst, they would just become an average family.

On the other hand, Caleb suffered heavy losses because of his greed. He got several projects through Madelyn in the past, but now that Garcia Group was frozen, everything was stuck. He ended up saddled with an

enormous debt!

The Garcias had enjoyed a few glamorous years, but in just an instant, they lost their lofty position in Klago City.

Madelyn had only just reached the hospital when she received a call from

Amelia.

On the phone, Amelia was shrieking, “Are you satisfied now? You’ve finally torn this family apart. Are you happy now?”

Madelyn parked the car and said carelessly, “You relied on me to get rich, but you didn’t put in the effort. Now that you’ve fallen from grace because of me, you’re only getting what you deserve!”

After Madelyn found out the truth, she had no reason to be polite to any of them any longer.

The fact that Amelia was calling her also made it clear that she hadn’t been having an easy time after leaving Caleb.

After all, Elena wasn’t her daughter!

Elena had only sucked up to her in the past for the sake of the Garcia

fortune. Now that the Garcias had fallen from grace, how patient would

she be to Amelia?

Amelia’s voice trembled with anger. “I know that you’ve always felt I was biased toward Elena, but I gave birth to you, and I raised you for ten years. How could you be so vicious to your own family?”

Madelyn was very vicious, indeed. Although Amelia and Caleb were

divorced, Amelia hadn’t gotten a single cent. The company was riddled

with debt.

It had been too fast! Everything happened so quickly that Amelia didn’t

even have time to react.

Madelyn’s hands tightened on the steering wheel.

Her tone remained impassive. “I never needed you to raise me. You know very well why you came to the Millers to take me home.”

Besides, Amelia didn’t raise Madelyn at all in those ten years. During that time, she had subsisted mostly on the monetary gifts that the Millers gave

her.

She had also received some money from other sources, and although she could not remember where the money had come from, she knew that it Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

wasn’t from Amelia.

No matter what Amelia said, Madelyn just refuted her heartlessly.

Recently, Caleb and those at Garcia Manor had called her several times, but she ignored all their calls. She only answered Amelia’s call because she wanted to settle things once and for all and end this entanglement.

“I’m also not your biological daughter! I don’t want you to feel that I’m treating you badly just because I’m taking all this stuff back.”

“Caleb was the one who signed that letter of severance, not me! Madelyn, I’m going to sue you. We’re related by blood, and just because you say that there’s no relationship between us doesn’t make it true.”

Amelia was triggered when she saw that Madelyn was clearly intending to cut off all ties with her.

She had already divorced Caleb, and although she was staying at

Lakeview Villa thanks to Elena, she had a lot less money to spend than

before.

When the finances were divided that day, she finally realized that the Garcias were bankrupt. At least Caleb had been kind enough not to make her share his debts!

Elena had always spent freely and hadn’t saved much money either. All her expensive jewelry was given to her by the Millers, and Amelia hadn’t bought her much. Now that the Millers had taken it all back, they had lost. everything. The only mercy was that they hadn’t been thrown out into the streets.

Conversely, Madelyn was Andrew’s wife, and he spoiled her terribly.

Amelia suddenly realized that Madelyn was now the only daughter she could rely on, so she immediately changed her attitude. “Maddie, that’s not what I meant. I’m not trying to blame you! Your father and I were together for so many years. I’m just upset about our sudden divorce.”

Upset? Madelyn laughed sarcastically.

If her guess was right, Amelia was the one who had asked for a divorce! Was she now going to say that she was upset about it?

Amelia and Caleb were really the kind of couple who’d drop everything and run the moment things got tough.

“I’m really not your daughter. I’ll send you the paternity test report, and you can see for yourself!”

“H–How is that possible? What nonsense are you saying? I know that you’re just afraid I’m going to latch onto you!”
