Carissa didn’t recognize Madilyn until she heard the familiar voice of the woman.Â
I don’t know what she went through in the past half month, but she has not only lost a lot of weightÂ
but her face also has a unhealthy paleness, making her red eyes even scarier.Â
She grabbed Carissa’s sleeve and cried, pleadingly, “Ms. Solomon, please don’t seduce my husband. I beg you, please don’t come and destroy my family!”Â
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events.Â
The media who came to attend the press conference immediately sensed the gossip when they saw the scene, and instantly aimed their cameras at Carissa and Madilyn, who were kneeling on theÂ
ground.Â
Some even eagerly wanted to rush up and get first–hand information for an exclusive interview.Â
Carissa suppressed her anger and coldly pulled Madilyn’s hand away.Â
“Madilyn, stop freaking out here. Warren and I have already broken up! And I was with him for six years. So, who was the mistress after all? You should know better than me!”Â
However, Madilyn was secretly wearing a sinister smile that no one could see.Â
“So what? I had a marriage certificate, I was Warren’s legally recognized wife. What proof can you provide?”Â
During this period, she was treated like a servant by the Swanson family.Â
Because she couldn’t come up with the money to pay back the Swanson family, they made her serve Jared’s parents.Â
Jared’s mother not only nitpicked at him every day, but also physically abused and verbally berated him whenever she thought about her son being in prison.Â
Jared’s father, on the other hand, would always take advantage of the moments when no one was paying attention to touch her inappropriately.Â
Every day, she not only couldn’t eat well, but she also dared not close her eyes to sleep, and her body was covered in bruises.Â
From childhood to adulthood, where has Madilyn experienced such hardships?Â
Just as she was on the verge of despair, Warren finally found the Swanson family.Â

Originally, Madilyn thought that Warren came to rescue herÂ
She threw herself into Warren’s arms, crying bitterly, with scars all over her body and a heart fuitÂ
of grievances.Â
“Warren, you finally came to save me. Please take me away from here quickly. They have been abusing me every day, and it hurts so much…”Â
However, Warren forcefully pushed her away.Â
“These are all what you deserve. You should atone for the sins you have committed on your own. IÂ
am here to divorce you.”Â
He said as he pulled out a divorce agreement from his pocket and placed it in front of her.Â
“Hurry up and sign it.”Â
At that moment, Madilyn finally understood that Warren would no longer help her.Â
So she used signing the divorce agreement as a condition to force Warren to take her away from the Swanson family.Â
***Â
Madilyn attributed all the pain she had experienced to Carissa.Â
If it weren’t for Carissa, Warren wouldn’t have changed his mind. He would have loved and taken care of her wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.Â
Everything is ruined now!Â
It’s all Carissa’s fault! She had to ruin Carissa’s reputation!Â
Several reporters on the scene couldn’t hold back any longer and crowded around Carissa, bombarding her with questions.Â
“Ms. Solomon, did you, as the lady claimed, intervene in her family? Please respond to this.”Â
“Excuse me, is what this young lady saying true? Did you really get involved in someone else’s family…”Â
Melvin immediately rushed up to protect Carissa upon seeing the situation, and called on the **aff on site to quickly maintain order.Â
Soon, Madilyn was escorted out of the venue by security.Â
