Chapter 425
"I've been dead for a thousand years, and I've never been this humiliated! Who does Rebbca think she is, daring to plot against me? This is infuriating. No, actually, it's almost enough to bring me back to life from sheer anger!" Yara, usually the epitome of an elegant and composed lady, would maintain her poise even when gossiping or in anger. But now...
She was like a summer wind, gusting wildly back and forth across the room. The lights in the living room flickered uncontrollably as if affected by her emotions.
Wanda heard the commotion and dashed out of a downstairs bedroom. "What's going on? What happened?"
Yara immediately floated to Wanda's side, grabbing her arm and shaking her so vigorously that Wanda's head bobbed back and forth.
"Tell me, doesn't Rebecca deserve to be taught a lesson? Tell me, should we just let her off after what she did to me, Mia, and Jade? Tell me... Tell me!"
The door of the adjacent bedroom opened, and Jade walked out with Mia in her arms. Both of them curiously observed the scene unfolding in the living room. Jade had heard Yara's words and glanced outside with anticipation.
Madison stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at everyone with their varied expressions. Still, all their eyes were on her.
Madison did not say a word.
Yara finally stopped her wild behavior. She abruptly floated downstairs, gripping Madison's shoulders tightly. "I was just venting, okay? Don't get any wild ideas!" Madison glanced at the anxious Yara, then looked up at Wanda and the others on the second floor.
"Rebecca is one of the favored ones of the heavens. Opposing her will inevitably lead to backlashes."
Yara nodded repeatedly. "I know. We all know. I was just venting, that's all. I feel better now that it's out."
Madison's eyes curved as she gave a faint smile. She looked at Yara and said, "But I'm also quite curious. How strong is the backlash from the heavens?"
Yara's face turned pale, and she tightened her grip on Madison. "Madison, don't be reckless! I... I really was just venting!"
She understood Madison. She knew Madison was rational and composed, which was why she had felt free to unleash her emotions without restraint. She was certain Madison wouldn't make the first move against Rebecca. But now...
"Your tribulation only just passed, remember? Last time, if it weren't for Sebastian sacrificing himself, you'd probably be nothing more than ashes in an urn right now."
Madison stayed silent.
Wanda hurriedly descended the stairs, her voice filled with urgency. "Ms. Locke, please think carefully."
Jade came down
as well, still
holding Mia in her arms. With a puzzled expression, she asked, "Is Rebecca really that formidable? Isn't she just an ordinary person? Could she really be more powerful than you, Ms. Locke?"
She was unaware of Rebecca's status as a favored one of the heavens.
"Ms. Locke, you're so powerful. I saw that your follower count is in the tens of millions now. Rebecca is just a second or third-rate celebrity. If it weren't for the Locke family backing her, she wouldn't survive in the entertainment industry at all No matter how you look at it, you're way better than Rebecca. You're better in every aspect, right? What's there to be afraid of?"
Jade's confusion was written all over her face.
"If you don't know anything, don't speak," Yara commented.
However, Madison chuckled softly. "That's right. What am I afraid of?"
She was no longer the Madison who had just arrived at the Locke family. She was no longer the Madison who had nearly died after falling into the water And she was certainly no longer the Madison who was constantly suppressed by Rebecca.
So what if the heavenly will stood on Rebecca's side? She would still fight back!
