Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 172

They stepped out of the car, unhurried and cool, their eyes practically dripping with disdain as they looked Madeline up and down. “Oops, sorry. Didn’t mean it. You’re not hurt, are you?”

Madeline just stared back, her face completely blank. “Not on purpose?” she repeated, voice flat.

They had the whole street to drive on, yet somehow their car came straight for her. It couldn’t have been more obvious what they were trying to do. If her reflexes had been just a little slower, she’d probably still be lying on the pavement.

“What, is ‘on purpose’ only if you actually run me over and leave me dead in the street?”

Now that it was just the three of them, Raine dropped the act and let out a scoff. “So what if we did hit you? I’d just pay up, right? A million or two, whatever. You think that’s a big deal? Your life wouldn’t even cover half my car. And since you’re fine, what are you making a fuss for? You want money that badly? Didn’t think you’d gotten this pathetic.”

Raine gave a little smirk. “Honestly, if you’re that desperate, roll around on the ground a few times and maybe I’ll feel generous.”

She shot Helene a look and they both laughed, looking at Madeline like she was nothing.

To them, a person’s life was just a price tag.

Madeline’s eyes turned icy cold.

Helene leaned in, chin high. “Come on, Madeline, do a good job and maybe we’ll even give you a tip. For you, two million is a fortune. Look at you, can’t even afford a car. Maybe you really would roll around for the cash.”

Just picturing Madeline begging seemed to thrill them.

“What are you waiting for? Get on with it!” Raine stepped forward, reaching out to grab her.
