Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine: \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never met someone so stingy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the coffee shop downstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca watched Madeleine, who was sitting across from her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
staring intently at her for a full five minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, she asked a very stupid question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRebecca, are you in love with me but can\u2019t have me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPfft\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca couldn\u2019t help but spit out a mouthful of coffee,\u00a0<\/p>\n
fumbling for a napkin to wipe herself off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you insane?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca was scared to death, glaring at her fiercely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must have some kind of delusion that everyone\u2019s in love\u00a0<\/p>\n
with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
A passing waiter: Wow, that\u2019s an elegant way to call someone a\u00a0<\/p>\n
narcissist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine spread her hands. \u201cI can\u2019t think of anything else. At\u00a0<\/p>\n
first, I thought you liked Roderick, but after thinking about it,\u00a0<\/p>\n
that didn\u2019t seem right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat didn\u2019t seem right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way you look at him is wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine looked smug. She had been binging soap operas\u00a0<\/p>\n
lately, so she knew what to look for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t a hint of love in the way Rebecca looked at\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Roderick explained to her the other day that \u201csweetie\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
is just something Rebecca says all the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After thinking it over, Madeleine decided Rebecca was probably\u00a0<\/p>\n
in love with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t flatter yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca rolled her eyes and took a big gulp of coffee. \u201cI didn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
help you with the Dannie thing. I was\u2026 I was helping my grand-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
nephew!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could I just stand by and watch Kevin get bullied?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ridiculous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, she wouldn\u2019t say that she went after Dannie because\u00a0<\/p>\n
she had sent people to follow Madeleine, and Roderick had\u00a0<\/p>\n
taught them a lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine nodded, a little disappointed inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca couldn\u2019t help but shiver at her reaction. \u201cI really can\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
stand you. I have no idea why Roderick is so devoted to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine smiled at that, her earlier disappointment replaced\u00a0<\/p>\n
by a smug look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could she not be smug? Turning her arch\u2013nemesis into her\u00a0<\/p>\n
people\u2013pleaser felt amazing~\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After enjoying the feeling for a moment, Madeleine\u00a0<\/p>\n
remembered what she was there for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve probably heard from Roderick that I have amnesia,\u00a0<\/p>\n
right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca didn\u2019t say anything, just raised an eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed she had heard, but didn\u2019t believe it.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Madeleine\u2019s credibility with her had always been in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
negative.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine knew words were useless and didn\u2019t even try to\u00a0<\/p>\n
argue, \u201cIt\u2019s normal that you don\u2019t believe me. I can tell you have\u00a0<\/p>\n
a big problem with me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca cut her off. \u201cI don\u2019t have a problem with you\u00a0<\/p>\n
personally. Just don\u2019t say that in front of Roderick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If that guy hears it, he\u2019ll come looking for trouble with me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy problem is with the things you did in the past. Whenever\u00a0<\/p>\n
there was any benefit, you\u2019d just hand it over to Edward like it\u00a0<\/p>\n
was worthless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, Rebecca got angry again just thinking about it and rolled her eyes beautifully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh\u2026 everyone has a past, haha, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine scratched her head. \u201cI\u2019m trying to make up for it\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally want to make up for it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. Just pretend I was possessed by a ghost for those\u00a0<\/p>\n
few years, and Van Hayes threw some holy water on me and\u00a0<\/p>\n
everything was fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca was silent for a moment, feeling like something wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
quite right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Re\u2026 uh, what did I used to call you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy full name.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not very polite, is it? I\u2019ll just call you, Rebecca, sweetie~\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca\u2019s eye twitched. \u201cI\u2019m two months older than you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Rebecca, ma\u2019am~\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca took a deep breath, forcing down the strange feeling that was welling up inside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The coffee must have been poisoned. Otherwise, why did she\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
find Madeleine, who she used to find irritating in every way, kind\u00a0<\/p>\n
of cute now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRebecca, ma\u2019am, I\u2019d like to ask you for a favor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDrop the \u2018ma\u2019am\u2018!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just use my name from now on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She finished, then uncomfortably crossed her arms. \u201cWhat\u00a0<\/p>\n
favor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to learn more about Edward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u104b\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t get the wrong idea. It\u2019s like this: I want you to help me\u00a0<\/p>\n
find out if there\u2019s anyone else around Edward who\u2019s lost their\u00a0<\/p>\n
memory like me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca looked Madeleine up and down, making sure she\u00a0<\/p>\n
wasn\u2019t joking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you looking into this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, why don\u2019t you just go straight to Roderick?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine smiled. She was just afraid Roderick might \u201cawaken\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
too, and she wanted to stop the danger before it could happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If there really were others in a similar situation, the risk of\u00a0<\/p>\n
awakening would be too great.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid he\u2019ll get jealous. Men, you know, they\u2019re always so\u00a0<\/p>\n
petty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca thought for a moment. Although she found Madeleine\u00a0<\/p>\n
very suspicious, she didn\u2019t seem to be able to refuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
