Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 621

“We meet again.” The voice was cool, almost whisper-soft.

Madeline pushed herself to her feet, smoothed out the front of her dress, then looked straight at the woman in front of her. Claire.

“Yeah, looks like fate’s not done with us yet, Claire.”

A slow smile spread across Claire’s lips. “Claire? What are you talking about? I’m Madeline.” She just watched Madeline, her eyes dancing with mock innocence.

Madeline didn’t blink. “Come on. It’s just us here—and your entourage. No need to pretend, right?”

Claire gave a light, wicked laugh. “Guess there’s no point keeping it up now. Honestly, you won’t be around much longer, so the name Madeline will just belong to me from now on. Yes, I’m Claire. Now you know. What are you going to do about it?”

A tiny, cold grin touched Madeline’s mouth. Claire didn’t notice the miniature camera quietly recording everything for Oliver back at his computer.

“The antidote,” Madeline said, her voice steady.

Claire leaned back in her chair, resting her chin on her hand. She watched Madeline, almost lazy—almost bored. “Why so eager? It’s just an antidote. I’ve got plenty. As long as you’re ready to give me what I want… you can have as much as you like.”

Madeline narrowed her eyes, her patience thinning. “I’m here, so, aren’t you already in control?”

Claire’s lips curled. “At least you understand where you stand.”

“I have to admit… I’m still curious. Why pick me? There are women out there who are prettier or richer. Why was I the one that caught your eye?”
