“What happened to Inez?” Jerome asked after turning off the television.

“Inez was taken away by Treyton, who said he found a doctor to perform surgery on her. But something went wrong during the operation, and Inc…”

Madelyn was crying her heart out, her face filled with grief. She continued to sob while saying, “I went to Treyton’s house to seek justice, but he just wouldn’t return our dead daughter to me, and he even drove me away!”

She gripped her chest as she sniffled.

Jerome quickly poured her a glass of water, helped her sit down, and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

“What should we do then? Treyton is not someone the Mossey family can afford to mess with.”

Upon hearing the tragic news about his daughter, Jerome’s eyes welled up with tears. However, the person he had to face was Treyton, and he could do nothing about it.

On one side, it was his daughter’s lifeless body. On the other, it was Treyton, a man who single- handedly ruled the entertainment industry. Moreover, with Treyton having the backing of the Harris family, the wealthiest family in Salinsburgh, Jerome dared not provoke him even though he was heartbroken by his daughter’s death and wanted Treyton to pay the price.

He was caught in the middle, torn between two sides.

Natasha sat nearby. Her face clearly showed her unabashed delight in the misfortune of Inez.

As Madelyn recovered from her grief, she saw Natasha beside her, smiling so widely her eyes curved. The sight infuriated her even more, and she pointed at the latter while cursing loudly, “You despicable b*tch! It’s because of you that my daughter suffered! If it wasn’t for your bad luck, Inez would never have had that car accident! And now, I have to send off my child before my time!”

Natasha scoffed and laughed. “I didn’t make her drink and crash her car, nor did I send her to Treyton and force him to perform surgery on her. What does her death have to do with me? Stop trying to slander me by throwing all kinds of dirt on me.”

She rolled her eyes disdainfully and placed the crystal glass heavily on the coffee table.

“It had to have been you, you b*tch! How else would you have known about Inez’s death in advance last night? Don’t even try to argue! I’ll beat you to death today!”

Madelyn was furious. She grabbed the TV remote from the coffee table and threw it at Natasha.

“Stop it, all of you! What kind of behavior is this!”

Jerome let out a loud yell, forcing the two women to stop their confrontation.
