Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 240

Kristine figured it might give Madisyn a taste of what it felt Like to be ridiculed.

As Kristine pondered this, Lynda’s expression darkened abruptly, her voice turning icy.

“Why do I get the feeling that you’re not entirely pleased?”

Taken aback by the unexpected reprimand, Kristine blushed with embarrassment and said, “Aunt Lynda, how could I possibly be displeased? I’m simply overjoyed! But I can’t help but worry about how it might look if netizens replace out.

Everyone was genuinely concerned about Madisyn.

Since she was alright, she should have let everyone know right away.

”

“Really? If she had informed everyone immediately, you’d have had nothing left to wish for, wouldn’t you?” Lynda remarked with a touch of indifference.

Kristine felt very aggrieved.

Why was Lynda targeting her now?

Dismissing Kristine entirely, Lynda beamed at Elaine and Glenn.

“Madisyn clinched first place, bringing great honor to our country.

”

As Lynda’s words sank in, Kristine’s mind felt like it had just exploded.

She swayed on her feet, overwhelmed with disbelief.

Elaine was just as stunned.

After a moment of astonishment, she erupted with joy, enveloping Madisyn in a heartfelt embrace.

“My daughter is truly incredible!”

Though Glenn’s enthusiasm didn’t match Elaine’s, his gaze was brimming with admiration.

“You really are something special, Madisyn.

”

Dane also chimed in, “Madisyn, you’re absolutely extraordinary.

”

“Indeed, darling, you’re simply remarkable.

What kind of reward do you want?” Elaine gazed at Madisyn, her eyes shimmering with tears of joy.

Madisyn, nearly breathless from Elaine’s tight embrace, finally managed to gasp out, “I don’t need anything.

Bringing honor to our country is reward enough for me.

”

“Well said, darling.

” Elaine’s joy knew no bounds.

Kristine was utterly forgotten.

She stared vacantly at Madisyn, a familiar pang of envy stirring within her.

Since Madisyn’s return, Kristine had lingered on the sidelines, watching wistfully as their family enjoyed happy moments.

Once, Kristine had convinced herself that she still had a chance to shine, dismissing Madisyn as merely a rural upstart with no real worth.

Yet now, with Madisyn having clinched the international championship, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was still any place left for her in this family.

Kristine felt her vision blur and darken, as she fought the urge to faint.

Why? Why did the world deal her such an unfair hand?

Elaine suggested they all go out for a meal, and everyone eagerly agreed, bustling out the door without a second glance at Kristine.

Kristine stayed at home, her gaze fixed on their departing figures, feeling that the fate was too unfair to her.

At a hotel.

Madisyn’s phone buzzed with a call from Waylon.
