Abusive Wife Novel

Chapter 15 Social Circles Are Messy

The more she acted out, the more displeased he seemed. His towering figure loomed over her. “Let me ask you one more time. Who are you? Think before you answer!”

Madeline pursed her lips. “I am Madeline Grant, didn’t you already have me investigated, Mr. Quincy? It’s just a pity that I’m not your ex-wife.”

There was a silent rage in his eyes. “You should count your lucky stars that you aren’t the real Madeline!”

“Why?”

“I won’t allow you to live a second longer if you were Madeline Grant!”

“It seems you have a deep resentment toward your ex-wife. Am I her substitute? You’re dumping all your frustrations on me? But hate is born out of love. Am I right to say that you loved her very much?”

“Hah, love? She doesn’t deserve it.”

The glint in Madeline’s eyes darkened with every thought.
