Chapter 216 That Despicable Woma

Janessa was engulfed by a storm of fury and resentment her emotions a turbulent sea of anger.

I hate this! Why? H’hy did everything turn out this way?

Madelyn had explicitly promised to bring Sebastian the event, yer all that unfolded was Janessa’s public embarrassment. Mocked by her stepmother and chastised harshly by her father, the stinging imprint of a slap remained on her cheek–a brutal reminder of her bumiliation and the deep–seated hatred it brewed within her.

Filled to the brim with rage, Janessa harbored thought so dark they frightened even her, but all she could manage was to bury her face in her pillow, releasing a heart–wrenching scream into its softness.

These thoughts had her blood boiling, eyes practically dripping with venom.

Madelyn, you despicable wretch! You’re doomed to a miserable end! Just wait and see, Madelyn. I will make sure you end up utterly ruined.

This thought alone buoyed her spirits considerably.

Sebastian, seated next to her, sensed that something was amiss. Unable to contain his curiosity, he probed further, his tone cool, “What’s going on?”

Madelyn, unable to suppress her glee, laughed lightly. “It’s nothing, really. You came to pick me up, didn’t you? That’s enough to make me happy.”
