Chapter 383 No Sign of Madison Resentment gnawed at Isabella, each stolen memory fueling her bitterness. Penelope had once swiped her crown, dazzled at the jewelry show, and was tight with Brandon.
"Hey, what are you doing? Move along," the security guard grumbled, "Don't loiter here. Get out!" Isabella looked up and saw the guard waving a stick, shooing away a woman by the trash can.
The woman was clutching sspoiled buns, stuffing them in her mouth, and digging for more food in the trash.
"If you don't leave, I'll get physical. You sure know how to pick a spot; this is a wealthy area, and the trash here is better than what most families eat!" Isabella walked over. "What's going on?" "Ms. Mitchell," the guard smiled when he saw her. "Sorry for the hassle, but I've got a crazy woman to deal with. I need to get her out of here." Isabella glanced over. "See if there's anything left in the kitchen and give it to her. She's in a bad spot." "Ms. Mitchell, you're so kind." The woman smelled awful, and Isabella covered her nose, turning to leave.
But then the woman suddenly grabbed her hand.

The guard swiftly intervened, striking the woman forcefully on the back with his baton. The woman screamed and fell.
"Are you nuts? How dare you act up here! Ms. Mitchell, please go inside. I'll handle this!" The woman struggled to lift her head, revealing a dirty face. "It's me, Isabella. Don't you recognize me?" Isabella paused.
That voice sounded familiar! "I'm Madison. We used to have afternoon tea, go shopping, watch movies. Remember?" "Madison?" "Yes!" Madison nodded, wiping dirt off her face, making it worse. "You remember now, right?" Isabella stood behind the guard, examining her.
Madison cried out. "It's really me, Isabella. For old times' sake, please help me." "I remember. But Madison doesn't look like you," Isabella said, "And Madison's been blacklisted for years. Why pretend to be her?" The guard said, "Ms. Mitchell, she's just a lunatic, always talking nonsense, even gossiping about the late Mrs. Davis. Ignore her, or you'll get into trouble!" "What? The crazy woman who keeps saying Penelope isn't dead, is that her?" "Yes!" Isabella was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Bring her inside!" The guard was stunned. "Ms. Mitchell..." "Do as I say," Isabella decided quickly. "Get her a bath and new clothes!" "Yes, ma'am." Madison cried and laughed. "Isabella, you're so kind. Even if I have to be your servant forever, it's worth it!" Isabella waved her hand, signaling the servant to take Madison inside.
She kept washing her hands under the faucet.
At the stime, she reminded the guard. "What just happened, pretend it didn't. If anyone asks, don't mention it. You didn't see any crazy woman, and you didn't bring her inside, got it?" "Yes, Ms. Mitchell." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!
