Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children

Chapter 22 

Adina stared at the necklace in her hands. The crystal seemed to be shining with a brilliant light coming from within it. She could tell at first glance that it was a priceless family heirloom that was passed down through generations.

The necklace was worth cities, and perhaps could not even be bought with money. 

Yet, her grandmother had given it to her just like that.

Adina felt touched. “Thank you, Grandmother.”

She put the necklace away. After a moment, she asked, “Grandmother, will the Daugherties come to tomorrow‘s banquet?”

“The Daugherties are just a bunch of ungrateful wolves! If I had invited them, it‘d be the same as bringing mud to decorate our mansion.” Madam Xavier‘s eyes lit up with ice–cold fury.“ They did everything they could to kill you in the past, so the best way to humiliate them is to ensure that you live a much better life now away from them!”

Adina took Madam Xavier‘s hand and squeezed it tightly. She felt calm at that moment.
