Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 814

He was probably trying to preserve her reputation so he could marry her with a clean slate, right?

How thoughtful of him!

Madeline's gaze darted away for a few seconds before she forced herself to look composed. "Felix respects me a lot."

Claire scoffed dismissively.

But the mocking smile on her face froze when she saw the good luck charm hanging around Madeline's neck.

She shot up from her seat, snatched the charm from her neck, and flipped it over.

Confirming it was the very same one she had prayed for, she demanded coldly, "Where did you get this?"

The charm was suddenly ripped from her, and Madeline, furious, struggled to sit up and grab it back. "Give that back! Felix gave it to me! Give it back!"

Claire was tall enough that when she raised her hand, Madeline couldn't even touch the edge of it.

She looked down at Madeline, her expression frigid.

A storm suddenly erupted inside her.

It was an indescribable feeling, just a sudden chill. It was cold, so cold.

Even the back of her hand, exposed to the air, began to feel icy.

"Give it back to me…" Madeline's foot seemed to have miraculously healed. She stood up from the bed and tried to snatch it back.

Claire took two steps back.

Madeline lunged at her, shouting, "Felix gave that to me! Why are you stealing my things?"

"When we were kids, you stole our parents' love, and now you're stealing my things again! Give it back!" Madeline shrieked, as if she'd been triggered.

Claire found her ridiculous.

When had she ever stolen her parents' affection?

She was lucky they hadn't abused her.

Just as Claire was about to retort, she heard Felix's deep, cold voice from behind her.

"What are you two doing?"

Madeline suddenly cried out and fell heavily to the floor.

Claire saw it all happen.

Honestly, she had to admire Madeline's commitment. She was willing to go all out.

She just threw herself backward without even looking where she was going.
