NOVPUBChapter 1279: 578 Despair_3 Chapter 1279: 578 Despair_3 She and Madam Spinter got along just fine, which is why she took Lexi Benz to the banquet.
A ludicrous incident transpired during the banquet.
Cynthia Spinter’s despicable ex-husband appeared and caused a scene at the banquet, accusing Cynthia Spinter of being a promiscuous woman who cheated on him.
He was still choking with indignation and wanted an explanation.
He even brought out evidence of Cynthia’s affair — she was involved with a young man almost ten years her junior.
There happened to be one of Maddy Spinter’s classmates at the banquet, who, after taking a look at the photograph, exclaimed: “Maddy, isn’t this your boyfriend?”
The revelation sparked an uproar.
Everyone was as shocked as if they had been struck dumb.
...
The scandal was explosive: an aunt adulterating with her niece’s boyfriend, and being exposed by her ex-husband on the spot.
Madam Benz still remembered the profound embarrassment of that moment, her skin behaving as though it was crawling with goosebumps.
Maddy Spinter, in disbelief, immediately fought with Cynthia Spinter.
The aunt and niece ended up pulling each other’s hair out and using foul language, creating a violently chaotic scene.
The first scandal of the year had truly been an eye-popper — many people couldn’t help but exclaim over it.
The ensuing humiliation was overwhelming.
Maddy Spinter claimed to be unwell and did not attend school or leave her house thereafter.
Latter, the incident made its way into an entertainment gossip column of a minor media outlet.
The whole of Pethkids ended up giggling at the aunt-niece duo from House Spinter.
Madam Benz become more and more suspicious.
When did Lexi Benz become close with Maddy Spinter?
There was suddenly a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.
Madam Benz quickly went to open the door and found Lexi Benz, barefoot, standing at the entrance.
Her light-colored dress was already covered with grime; her hair was disheveled, her facial expression in disarray and her eyes looked dull and spiritless.
Madam Benz was dismayed: “Lexi, what happened to you?
Were they bullying you?
I will fight them if they dare to bully my daughter.” Fuming with rage, Madam Benz stormed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and rushed out, displaying a murderous rage on her face.
Lexi Benz walked in, dirty footprints appearing on the clean floor, mixed with traces of blood in the mud.
Lexi Benz collapsed onto the sofa.
After a moment of silence, she burst into tears.
Madam Benz dropped the kitchen knife and rushed over to embrace Lexi, sobbing in unison: “My Lexi, what wrongs have been done to you.
Tell me.”
“They…
They made me run barefoot on an acupressure mat, the whole sports ground was covered with these mats, it hurt so much…
I dared not stop…”
Lexi somehow managed to choke out her words.
“Whenever I wanted to stop, they would scare me with rats and snakes.
I had no choice but to keep running!”
Lexi’s body began to shake uncontrollably — the feeling of despair was overwhelming.
She ran and ran, day and night, oblivious to fatigue or hunger.
Her feet were sore and bleeding, but she kept running in endless agony.
Every time she closed her eyes, the images of the ferocious snakes and disgusting rats haunted her mind, driving her nearly insane.
Lexi clutched her head with both hands and curled up on the sofa, Aubree Groove’s words still echoing in her mind.
Commit evil, and divine punishment awaits.
After death, one descends into AvÄ«ci hell and endures endless suffering in the cycle of reincarnation…
“That was Hell, Hell…”
With a flicker in her eyes, Lexi fainted.
Madam Benz quickly dialled 120 and rushed Lexi to the hospital.
Fortunately, she only suffered from dehydration and mental distress, and a period of rest and recuperation was all she needed.
Madam Benz looked at Lexi, who was still uneasy and tormented in her unconscious state.
Her heart ached and her hatred for Agave Rinto and Aubree Groove intensified.
The daughter she doted on had been publicly humiliated and degraded in such an inhuman way.
It was utterly intolerable.
She vowed to take revenge.
Wiping her tears, Madam Benz left the ward and went to call her husband.
However, Jeremiah Benz just harshly ordered her not to intervene and hung up the phone.
“So this is what you’re about, Jeremiah Benz.
Lexi is your biological daughter, yet you’re so indifferent.
I must have misjudged you.”
Tears in her eyes, Madam Benz cursed under her breath.
As she lifted her head, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure.
It was Xenia Groove’s biological mother — she had seen her at Madam Groove’s banquet.
Madam Benz thought for a moment and instinctively followed her.
A man was walking towards her.
Though he looked deep in thought and weighed down with worries.
Just as Madam Benz was about to call out, she saw the man stopping in front of the room that Verine Hayes had just entered.
Madam Benz quickly hid herself and observed in secret.
Madam Benz watched with growing shock.
When did Digby Hart get acquainted with Xenia Groove’s biological mother?
From the look in his eyes, it seemed like the relationship was more than simple acquaintance.
Madam Benz felt as though she had discovered a new world.
She was incredibly thrilled.
Everyone has a weakness; once you find their weak spot, you can definitely put them to use.
And that’s just as true for Digby Hart as it is for Xenia Groove.
