waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 87 Rebecca rolled her eyes , speechless . It was the first time she'd ever seen Roderick act so cocky . " Broke your phone ? " Roderick remembered he was the one who'd put Madeleine's phone on the crossbeam of the power rack before he left . She probably dropped it when she tried to get it down . " Yeah , the screen is totally shattered . " Madeleine's voice was full of regret . ။ I should have just thrown a cup . Phones are so expensive . Roderick chuckled . " I'll have someone send you a new one in a bit . " " No , don't . It can be fixed . It just needs a new screen .

" " Out with the old , in with the new . " Madeleine paused for two seconds on the other end , then chuckled . Chapter 87 " Not so concerned about being thrifty and frugal now , are we ? " Roderick just smiled without saying a word . Madeleine stuffed something else into her mouth , her words coming out muffled . " So why'd you call ? Did you find anything out ? " " Yeah , pretty much . I told you I wouldn't let anyone frame you . Don't worry . " " I know . " Madeleine's voice was filled with relief .

After a moment , she couldn't help but pause again and ask in a low voice , " Ricki , what if I really did do it ? " " It doesn't matter . " Roderick's tone was still gentle . " If you really did make a mistake , then you just have to make up for it . I'll be watching you . " " Tch ~ I guess that gives you something to hold over me . " Roderick smiled , guessing she was probably muttering about him to herself right now . Chapter 87 Sitting across from him , Rebecca stared wide - eyed . Watching the two of them get lost in their own world on the phone , her heart sank . It's over .

The money I just got is as good as gone . Roderick hung up the phone , raised an eyebrow , and looked at her smugly , mimicking the way Rebecca had held out her hand earlier . " Pay up . " Rebecca shot him a glare and transferred the 1.6 million dollars back . " And the rest ? " Roderick beckoned with his finger . " You lost . A bet's a bet , you gambling degenerate ." Rebecca tried to weasel out of it . " I told you to call and tell her you were in a car accident . You didn't , so it doesn't count as a win . " " I was afraid of worrying her . I didn't want to scare her . She ... " " Stop .

" ။ Chapter 87 Rebecca cut Roderick off and , looking down , transferred another 800 thousand dollars . " We'll call it a partial win for you . Happy now ? " She really couldn't stand him like this , high on his hopeless romantic buzz . Roderick saw the 800 thousand dollars arrive and immediately transferred it to Madeleine . It wasn't easy getting a miser like Rebecca to cough up some cash . Rebecca crossed her arms . " Looks like Madeleine really has changed a lot . No wonder you're always running to her with your tail wagging these days . " Roderick shot her a glare .

" Who are you calling a dog ? " " Take a look in the mirror yourself . You can't even hide your wagging tail . " Roderick didn't say anything . He could only let his guard down around Rebecca . After all , his true nature had been worn down Chapter 87 over the years , and he rarely had the chance to be himself like this . " Well , this only proves Madeleine isn't the mole . It doesn't prove she won't get ideas like that in the future .

What do you think ..." Rebecca raised an eyebrow and asked with a mischievous smile , " If you were to cause some trouble for Edward , do you think she'd come after you ? " Roderick looked at her , amused by how much she enjoyed stirring up trouble . " Still want to make a bet ? " " Uh , let me think about it . " Rebecca frowned and didn't answer right away . The sting of her recent loss hadn't faded yet . Roderick smiled and leaned back in his chair , every bit of his posture radiating confidence . " It's about time I taught Edward a lesson . " He'd put up with him for long enough .

After realizing she might be a disposable side character in a Chapter 87 Male - oriented Web Novel , Madeleine ate and drank as she pleased , treating herself like an unkillable cockroach . She had read some Male - oriented Web Novels where , aside from the male lead , all the female characters seemed to have their intelligence lowered , becoming stepping stones for the protagonist . If that was the case , then wouldn't she and her whole family be Edward's first stepping stone ? " Damn it , this is just great . An ungrateful bastard can even be the male lead !

" Roy peeked in with a mop , ready for some Gossip . " Chase Livingston , are you watching a short - form web series ? Which one are you watching ? " In the past few days , Kirsten and Roy had noticed the change in Madeleine . They weren't so afraid of her anymore and would occasionally come over to joke around .
