Chapter 75 Loving the Adopted Daughter
Madeline’s anger was boiling over. “If he doesn’t like Ste, then why is he f
What is this? And now, Ste has a man-
fighting with her man?”
Madeline was so furious she immediately grabbed the phone and dialed Susan. As soon as <b>Susan </b>answered. Madelineunched into a tirade. “<b>You </b>say Ste is your <b>biological </b>daughter and you can’t raise her right, <b>and </b>the adopted daughter? You
haven’t handled her well either!
“Mrs. Keene, <b>that’s </b>too much. Such a <b>blunt </b><b>usation </b>made Susan snap in anger. What does she mean by this?
Was Madeline ming her for both the adopted daughter and the biological daughter being unmanageable? ording to her, if the families fell apart, it would <b>all </b>be Susan’s fault?
“Too <b>much</b>? Am I wrong? Ethan and Lillian broke ties two years ago, and now you’re constantly going after him because of Lillian. What does that mean?” Madeline’s tone became sharper the more she spoke.
Susan, feeling guilty, couldn’t deny it. Wasn’t she seeking Ethan out because of Lillian? “Mrs. Keene, Lillian grew up <b>und </b>your care, and now she’s seriously ill
“I know, uterine cancer! Who knows how she ended up with that. Have you even asked her how she’s been living abroad?”
“What do you mean by <b>that</b>?” Susan waspletely enraged.
Madeline continued, “I’m just telling you, this illness is suspicious. <b>And </b>you want me to sympathize with her? Are you out of your mind?”
Madeline <b>didn’t </b>hold back. She’d never liked Lillian. She knew <b>what </b>Susan meant by those words earlier <b>as </b>she <b>wasn’t </b><b>a </b>fool.
Madeline let <b>go </b>of any pretense with Susan. I’ve already looked into it. Not only <b>is </b>Lillian constantly bothering Ethan, but you’re always calling him about her problems, Madam Susan, you’re Ste’s biological mother, but you really are opening my
eyes
They say that a mother can’t form true bonds with anyone other than her own children. But Susan? She is fine with it.
Not only was she unwilling to let go of her adopted daughter, but she also stole a <b>man </b>right from under her biological daughter. This was truly iprehensible.
“The
e Reed family is falling apart. Don’t force us to make it worse for you!”
The message was clear. If Susan kept pushing Ethan because of Lillian, Madeline wouldn’t <b>hold </b>back.
With that, Madeline hung <b>up</b>.
On the other end, Susan was absolutely furious after the call. Jonathan was there with her. They were outside Lillian’s hospital
“Did you hear that? The Keene family is getting <b>so </b>arrogant now! Do they really think our family is weak?” Susan was fuming.
<b>Jonathan </b>frowned, thinking back to <b>what </b><b>his </b>father had <b>said </b>a month <b>ago </b>about the progress of their mine.
<b>Susan </b>tried to calm herself. “Don’t let Lillian know about this.”
“Got it.” Jonathan nodded.
They couldn’t let Lillian <b>know </b>about this right now. With her health in such a <b>bad </b>state, <b>Ethan </b>was the only thing keeping her
<b>going </b>
Susan closed her eyes. “We still need to figure out how to get Dr. <b>Rianne </b><b>and </b>Dr. Eddie on board.”
The doctors had discussed <b>Lillian’s </b>surgery n today. Just hearing it made her feel like she <b>was </b>on the verge of a breakdown How could one person bear all of that?
