Chapter 234

"Madison, answer me!" Cameron said coldly.

"Shut up! Stop talking!" Madison covered her ears, refusing to listen. Even if he was right—and she knew he was—she wouldn't be in this mess if Cameron and Dakota hadn't interfered.

"Cameron, do you think you and Dakota bear no fault?" she demanded, glaring at him with hatred.

"We were at fault," he sneered. "Our mistake was repeatedly giving you opportunities we shouldn't have. You only see other people's mistakes; you never consider your own problems."

"What problems?" she insisted. "If you two hadn't deceived us, Archie wouldn't have abandoned me! I'd still be one of Yrando's top ten entrepreneurs! I would have partnered with Archie! I had a bright future! But you two ruined it! Why did you take everything I worked for? Why did you let Ms. Jones ban me?"

Her voice grew increasingly emotional, as if the entire situation was solely Cameron and Dakota's fault.

"So, you still blame us for Archie abandoning you?" Cameron sneered. "And as for your 'hard work,' what have you done in the past five years? You simply punch the clock. Do you think those orders came to you because of your talent? Do you think you're extraordinary? You're wrong!"

He hadn't let her company fail in its early stages only because Lord Blackheart had secretly helped her. He hadn't reclaimed his assets after the divorce out of disdain; he never took back what he gave. He wanted to give her a good ending. But he was wrong. Madison was not only ungrateful, but she’d also been deceived into losing everything by her desire to join the Price family. It was time to reclaim what was his.

"How wrong am I?" Madison, oblivious to the truth, pointed at Cameron agitatedly. "You—a moocher and stay-at-home husband for five years—have no right to say I'm wrong! Do you think you can boss me around now that you're Ms. Jones's representative in Yrando because of luck? I wish you and that bitch, Dakota, a terrible death!"

Cameron, enraged, slapped her hard. He'd been holding back since her earlier attack on Dakota. Her insults were unforgivable.

"You… how dare you hit me!" She touched her reddening cheek, disbelieving. The man who once obeyed her every whim dared to strike her twice.

"I'll kill you!" She lunged at him, furious. He slapped her again, expressionless. This time, the blow sent her sprawling.

"You—" She tried to rise, to fight, but his cold eyes stopped her. She was stunned, wondering if this was the same freeloader she knew.
