Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 499

"It's true. The two elders are already heading back with everyone."

Maxwell frowned, his eyes settling on Madeline. In that moment, his whole demeanor shifted. He studied her with a seriousness that felt almost heavy, his gaze holding for a few long seconds.

He waved the messenger away. "I got it."

Once the man left, Madeline noticed something off in Maxwell's expression. She asked quietly, "Maxwell, is something wrong?"

He hesitated, as if weighing his words, then replied, "Please wait a bit longer. Let's talk once everyone is here."

Madeline nodded, sensing that whatever was coming next was serious.

About thirty minutes passed in tense silence before noise echoed from the hallway. The carved doors opened, and a group of people stepped inside.

At the front were two middle-aged men who radiated authority. The way everyone else treated them made it clear they held real power in this family.

As they walked in, their eyes landed on Madeline, and she could see the surprise flicker across their faces.

She pressed her lips together, glancing past them. There was someone else behind the elders.

When Madeline saw the woman's face, she froze.

It was her!

The woman who looked exactly like her.

The woman caught Madeline staring and looked right back at her. There was something strange about her eyes.

On the surface, her smile was soft and friendly, but if you paid attention, you could see the edge in it—a glint of challenge, almost wicked.

Even a single glance sent a chill through Madeline.

The woman seemed completely at ease, not even trying to hide that twisted confidence. Only when she finally stopped walking did she break eye contact, her face returning to a calm, gentle mask.

Madeline's brows drew together.

They looked so much alike it was almost terrifying. Like someone had copied her, feature for feature.
