Forbidden Passion

Chapter 747 Donovan Returned

Madison looked at Vanessa in disbelief. "What do you mean?"

What was the truth behind that kidnapping years ago? Why did Vanessa say the person Theodore saved was never kidnapped? Was she saying Vanessa orchestrated the whole thing? Vanessa lifted her eyelids and looked at her nonchalantly, "You already guessed it, didn't you, Madison? If you want something, you have to stop at nothing."

Madison's heart pounded as she looked at Vanessa. She had never realized Vanessa was so ruthless.

Back then, Phoebe was whipped to the brink of death. If Theodore had been a little later, she wouldn't have survived that day.

If all of this was Vanessa's doing, it was horrifying.

"Vanessa, there are plenty of men out there. Why are you so hung up on Theodore??" Madison couldn't understand why someone would go to such lengths for one person. Was it worth it? Vanessa sneered, "I could ask you the same. There are plenty of men out there, and you've been with quite a few. Why are you so hung up on Edward?"

"I'm not like you," Madison said, feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. "I never had Edward. The unattainable always seems the most desirable."

"And you think I had him?" Vanessa's voice was softened, as if she was questioning both Madison and herself.

Madison rolled her eyes, "You didn't have him? Then who was dating Theodore since high school? If you hadn't gone to Nyxonia, would Phoebe have had the chance to marry Theodore?" Madison was furious.

She used to be young and naive, thinking Vanessa was like a princess from a fairy tale, destined to marry Theodore and live happily ever after.

Madison was so invested in this fairy tale ending that she was very unfriendly to Phoebe, whom she thought was beneath their family's standards.

Vanessa scoffed, "You think I wanted to go to Nyxonia?"
