Madeline looked surprised when she raised her arm. She wanted her to hit her. The flimsy woman couldn't have had much strength and she would certainly have kicked up a fuss. This embarrassment would not have gone well with the people at the Diamond Pony. She'd have certainly been punished for it. But the woman was a coward and didn't continue, what a shame.

She was about to say something but the woman walked away and seemed to have some sort of health issue. Good, she hoped it was serious. As far as Maddie was concerned, she had disliked the woman for her looks and where she worked but after speaking to her, she hated her. She was a conceded bitch as far as she was concerned. Maddie had little in life except to survive and her hatred for her father and his family. The later was pointless since they were back in Hull as far as she knew. But now she had a new mission in life. She was going to humiliate Sonia in some way. If she was lucky, it would be so bad she would be ostracized and even kicked out and left on the street. The older woman was going to teach her life wasn't some fairy tale where you got what you wanted in the end. She would knock that smug look off of her pretty face if it was the last thing she did.
