Chapter 253

Third Person’s POV

Madison sneered, “That’s not certain. How about this: tomorrow, ask her for a box of pink diamonds. If she refuses, you’ll know she’s not truly filial.”

The pink diamonds in the display case had long made Madison envious.

Priscilla, who valued face above all, declared, “Of course she’ll give it! It’s just pink diamonds–I’ll take them from her treasury myself.”
