Chapter 480
480 – Back In Action
Silver:
I spent the whole day watching my husband lose his mind over his ex.
Everywhere I went, I saw Madeline, and somewhere in my line of sight was Elgin. At that point, I began to wonder if being loved by someone like him was a blessing or a curse.
I had seen what he had done to me. He begged me for another chance when he messed up, yet he could not even bear the thought of me cheating on him.
That proved he was not a good man. But that did not mean I was not furious with Madeline.
If I was ruined, if my reputation was scarred, I would make sure Elgin did not end up with the perfect Madeline either. He would suffer alone. (1
At that point, I could not fully blame Madeline for mistreating him or rejecting him. It had been so easy for me to make him hate her in the beginning, to push her away, even to discard his own daughter.
That should have been a sign that he was not trustworthy or worthy of love. But I was still curious about what made Madeline special. 1
Was it her looks or her attitude?
She was close to his friends too, so how could he accept her but not forgive me after I made one mistake?
I entered the room where Madeline’s bag lay open and immediately began searching through it. I found the small empty bottles she had been using, the ones she poured into patients‘ eyes to wake them.
It made me wonder how she prepared it. If I could duplicate it, would I finally be seen as worthy of respect?
Was it her intelligence that held Elgin and Graham so tightly?
I continued rummaging through the bag and found one bottle, the last one remaining. It was small, no bigger than my index finger. 1
I grabbed it quickly. That was when Madeline arrived.
I ignored her completely and rushed out of the room to avoid her questions. Once outside, I slipped the bottle into my bag and sat down in my room.My phone started ringing, which was not unusual. Ever since I was caught in a scandal, the calls had not stopped.
Now what does Kaylee want?
1 grunted under my breath. That beta bitch was living her best life.
She found her mate and got pregnant with his children. I expected her to call just to belittle me.
Still, I had to answer. I could not cut ties with everyone.
“Hello?” I answered, drawing, in slow, heavy breaths as I braced myself
“I want to fucking kill Madeline. Are you in on it or not?” she demanded.
Those were the first words out of her mouth, and my frown vanished
“What are you talking about?” 1 questioned, confused. I had assumed she would ask about my infidelity.
That was what everyone cared about.
“ That bitch is sleeping with my husband, ” she snapped.

As she continued, I straightened in my chair, my eyes widening in shock.
“Wait, what are you talking about? I thought you two were doing well. I thought there was no issue between you and Graham, ” I replied.
I truly was shocked. I had expected Graham to stay loyal to her because, unlike me, no one was calling her a whore.
She was pregnant, carrying his sons.
“Remember how he kept going to her house to work on the medicine?” she pressed.
“ Well, guess what? They did it. When I caught him, he burned the evidence. He washed everything. Then he stood with me like nothing happened p>
She paused to take deep breaths.
“And my husband decided to drop her off at night while his wife was drowning in heartbreak,” she added dramatically.
My ears sharpened at that.
I narrowed my eyes into the distance, thinking about the way Elgin had been wandering around too.
“You know what? I get it. Elgin has been doing the same, ” I admitted, almost relieved that someone was finally focusing on Madeline instead of me.
Until Kaylee let out a small grunt.
“ Yeah, but you and your husband are dealing with issues. We are doing fine. Why the fuck is she coming between us?” she argued. (1)
As soon as she said that, my fists clenched.
I thought about her words for a moment and realized it served her right. Even if we stayed loyal, our husbands would still cheat.
It was their flaw, not ours.
“So what do you want me to do?” I asked, trying to understand her plan.
“ I want you to scar her reputation. What else, Silver?” she shot back.
My fingers tapped against the table.
“What else?” I pressed.
Silence filled the line.
“You know what? Nothing. I’ll deal with it, ” she muttered.
Disappointment lingered in her voice as she ended the call, but I already knew she would do something.
So I decided to wait.
Wait for her to ruin Madeline.
At the same time, I picked up the bottle of medicine and decided to have it tested.
I wanted to know what she was making so I could either replicate it or tell the council that I knew the cure as well. I
