Chapter 26
When Neville received the call, he had just finished an international video conference.
Seeing that the caller was Daisy, he frowned.
Daisy didn’t learn anything good from Regina but inherited her vanity and arrogance.
Neville thought that she might have caused trouble and wanted him to clean up the mess.
Neville handed the phone to Bernard and said, “Tell her I’m in a meeting.”
Seeing the caller, even Bernard felt a headache. But even if Neville threw a bomb at him, he had to catch it
“Ms. Preston, Mr. Preston is in a meeting.
Daisy’s angry voice came from the phone. Tell my brother that Madison has come back to the house, She smashed Mom’s pair of porcelain vases. Ask my brother to bring the lawyer!”
Bernard put the call on speaker, and Neville heard everything.
In fact, when Neville heard Madison’s name, he lost all interest in dealing with the documents on hand.
Bernard looked at Neville, seemingly seeking his opinion on whether to go back home.
Neville nodded, and Bernard said. “Alright, Ms. Preston, as soon as Mr. Preston finishes his meeting. I will inform him.”
Before hanging up, Daisy cursed Madison.
Bernard was nervous. Every time he answered a call from the Preston family, he had to be on edge.
“Mr. Preston, if you’re worried that Miss Guzman will be bullied, I’ll arrange a car for you right away.”
Neville glanced at him indifferently and said, “How come you think I care about her?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Moreover, he thought that Madison had become quite arrogant recently. Not only did she learn how to seduce men, but she also dared to throw a tantrum.
Bernard said, “Sorry, Mr. Preston, it was my mistake. Miss Guzman probably isn’t reconciled, so she came to cause trouble. Just let her make a scene. After she vented her anger, she would come back to you.”
Neville suddenly remembered Micah’s words last night about women being jealous.
‘It seems that she is still jealous after a whole night. No wonder she will come back home, Neville thought.
He wanted to see what she was up
If she knelt and begged him to come back, he would consider letting her back.
After all, in the past three years, she had done a good job as Mrs, Preston.
Neville stood up and headed towards the wardrobe. “Prepare a car.
“You really still care about Miss Guzman”
Neville sneered. “Well, I care about the 30 million dollars. If she dares to smash things, she should pay the price”
But Bernard didn’t think that Neville cared about the money. On the contrary, when he heard the news of Madison returning home, Neville even smiled.
When Madison left last time, she only took a few changes of clothes. And she wanted to take all her belongings this time.
As she entered the bedroom. Madison was stunned when she noticed Neville’s items.
It seemed that Neville had been living in her bedroom since she left.
In the past, they slept in separate rooms, and even after Neville took care of his personal needs, he would return to the guest
room.
Was he pretending to be a devoted lover?‘ she thought
Madison found this idea nauseating. The lingering scent of Neville in the room made her stomach churn.
She quickly packed her belongings.
The attic was Madison’s private place, where she would relax after finishing household chores,
This attic also served as her studio, filled with sketches of Neville and drafts of her designs in her spare time.
Madison searched for a long time but couldn’t find that stack of drafts.
She devoted all her beautiful fantasies about marriage to those drafts, hoping that one day Neville would understand her goodness and give her a splendid wedding with a dress she had designed herself.
However, since she had been disappointed by Neville time and time again, she locked those drafts in an ebony box.
Now, the box only contained a few scattered clothing design drafts.
Someone must have taken away her drafts.
Madison carried her suitcase downstairs in a huff.
At this moment, Regina was lying on the sofa with a cold towel on her forehead, looking weak.
Daisy, seeing the suitcase in Madison’s hand, avoided eye contact with Madison.
Madison squinted her eyes, walking straight towards Daisy, and said, “Give me back my things.”
Daisy was guilty, but thinking that this was her home, and Neville was on his way back to support her, she didn’t fear Madison. She straightened her back and said, “What do you mean? The Preston family is one of the wealthiest families in Norton. And I can have whatever I want. Why would I want your shabby things?
Madison chuckled. Although her voice was gentle, it carried a chilling coldness. I asked you to give me back my things, not seeking your explanation.”
Daisy looked up at her and felt a chill down her spine.
She never expected that she would be scared by Madison.
She was about to spill the truth, but she noticed a figure at the doorway.
Daisy pretended to be pitiful and said, “Although you and my brother are divorced, my Mom and I have never mistreated you. Why do you have to vent all your grievances on us?”
“Are you kidding me? I just want to take back what belongs to me. What tricks are you going to play?”
Regina was shaking with anger. You not only smashed my porcelain vases but also slandered Daisy for stealing your things. It’s ridiculous! The Preston family is a century–old prestigious family, unlike your lowly family that might pocket our stuff while visiting
Regina always used Madison’s background to attack her. Regina seemed to forget that she had once lived in the slum and had resorted to some underhanded means to become Mrs. Preston.
Madison chuckled. “Well, you forced me
She walked towards the storage shelf where Regina’s years of collections were placed. They were her pride and joy, as well as her display of wealth,
Regina realized what she was about to do and almost screamed, “Stop her!”
Madison was about to swing the suitcase towards the shelf, but suddenly, someone tightly wrapped around her waist, pulling her backward
Both of them fell onto the sofa, and the suitcase flew out.
