waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 97 Edward's eyes widened , then he pulled his lips into a mocking smile . " Now you're just being unreasonable . " He slowly and deliberately adjusted his cuffs . " Business is war . Survival of the fittest is the law of nature . The Mosley Group was poorly managed and its capital chain broke . What does that have to do with me ? " Madeleine rolled her eyes so hard they nearly flew out of her head , then decisively held out her hand to him . " Then pay up ." Edward's expression froze . He was so surprised he thought he'd misheard . " What did you say ? " " I said , pay up !

" Madeleine raised her voice . " You climbed up by stepping on my family , and once you got to the top , you kicked us away . Mr. Chapter 97 Carroll , you've forgotten where you came from . " Edward's gaze turned cold , and his long fingers secretly clenched into a fist . No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before . Madeleine was the first . " I think you've really gone crazy from being poor! " Madeleine didn't get angry . She just gave him a sweet smile . " That's right , I'm broke as a joke . That's why I'm here to collect a debt from Mr. Carroll . With such a big business , Mr.

Carroll shouldn't be short on this little bit of cash , right ? " Edward narrowed his eyes , his gaze lingering on her for a few seconds , as if trying to decide if she was serious or just messing with him . After a moment , he let out a low , dangerous laugh . " Well , well , Madeleine . You've grown a spine . " He took out his phone and found Madeleine's Facebook contact in his block list . The first transfer failed . His phone showed that she wasn't his Chapter 97 friend . " You're messing with me ! ? " Madeleine slapped her forehead . " Oh , my bad .

I blocked you and forgot to unblock you . Hold on . " She said the heart - stabbing words with perfect politeness as she pulled her phone out of her expensive handbag . Edward had sharp eyes and immediately saw a photo of her and Roderick at an amusement park behind Madeleine's clear phone case . She was on her tiptoes , putting something on Roderick , smiling sweetly . His eyes turned cold , and Edward pressed his phone a little harder . " Ones , tens , hundreds , thousands ... " Madeleine stared at the transferred amount and carefully counted it twice . " Twenty million .

Don't come to me with this sob story again ! " Owpter 97 Madeleine kept her head down , staring at the screen . After a long moment , she squeezed out , " This isn't even as much as my husband gives me for an allowance ." Of course , Edward didn't believe that . He just figured Madeleine was suppressing her glee to save face . Madeleine took the money with no intention of staying longer , but as she turned to leave , Edward yanked her back . He sneered , " Don't tell me Roderick's going under , so he sent you to ask me for money . " " Huh ?

" Madeleine really wished Bradley Kline were here right now , so he could come and fix Edward's brain . " I heard Roderick isn't even bidding on the North City Science Park project . Is he out of money ? " " Or ... is he scared ? " At that , Madeleine's expression changed drastically , as if someone had just stepped on her tail . Her eyes flinched , but she quickly composed herself and Chapter 97 retorted . " Wh - what nonsense are you talking about ? Our family's company is doing fine . " Her gaze shifted . " Roderick said he's not bidding on that project because ...

because he doesn't think it's a good one ." A smirk formed on Edward's lips as he stared intently at Madeleine's changing expression . So flustered ? Looks like he guessed right . That Roderick fellow would never give up so easily . He was just putting up a smokescreen . Making everyone think he'd given up on that juicy prize , letting them lower their guard before he delivers the fatal blow . Too bad this stupid woman exposed him . Edward suddenly let her go , stepping back as if he'd been burned . He dusted off his cuffs and resumed his high - and- mighty attitude .

Not bothering to say another word to Madeleine , Edward turned Chapter 97 and walked straight away . It wasn't until he was far away and his figure had vanished from her sight that the panicked look on Madeleine's face disappeared , replaced by a shrewd , triumphant expression . " Nailed it ~ " Celebrating under her breath , Madeleine excitedly lifted the wine glass to her lips . Just as her lips touched the glass , a large hand reached around from behind and snatched it away . Roderick's face was dark . " I can't take my eyes off you for a second , Madeleine .

Didn't I tell you not to drink ? " ps : Here's a chapter to tide you over , the rest will come tonight , hehe . Caught in the act , Madeleine's embarrassed expression froze . She put on a pitiful face , " I just want a taste . " " Not even a taste .
