Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 255

He tried to respond, to explain himself, but before he could get a word out, the call ended with a sharp click.

The silence that followed was deafening.

He stared at his phone, stunned.

Jenna, who had overheard the conversation, was equally stunned.

“I don’t understand.

How?” she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.

“Gilbert, isn’t Dane Glenn’s son? Why would he… Wait! I think I get it now!”

Her sudden shift in tone caught Gilbert’s attention.

He turned to her, desperation in his eyes.

“What do you mean, you get it?”

A cold, calculating look crossed Jenna’s face.

“Dane did this to defend Madisyn,” she said with certainty, her eyes narrowing.

“He’s punishing you because of her.

” The more Jenna pondered her theory, the more convinced she became.

“Madisyn must’ve wormed her way into Dane’s good graces to take control of Natural Beauty which is under the Johns Group!”

Jenna believed she had nailed the reason behind their humiliating expulsion.

But as Jenna reveled in her revelation, Gilbert’s expression darkened.

He was staring intently at a news article on his phone, a serious look settling on his face.

“What are you looking at, Gilbert?” Jenna leaned in, her curiosity piqued.

“Take a look at this.

Why is everyone calling Madisyn ‘Madisyn Johns’?”

Gilbert muttered, his voice tinged with unease.

Johns…

The name echoed ominously in his mind, sending a shiver down his spine as a sense of dread began to take hold.

Jenna, however, dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand.

“Gilbert, I think you’re overthinking it! My former mother’s family name was Johns before she got married.

Madisyn must be using her maiden name,” she said, a smirk tugging at her lips.

“What, do you really think Madisyn somehow magically became Glenn’s daughter?”

Gilbert exhaled softly, feeling slightly reassured by her words.

It seemed too far-fetched to be true, after all.

But despite his efforts to dismiss it, a persistent worry clung to him.

The thought of Madisyn becoming Dane’s kept woman unsettled him deeply, twisting his stomach in knots.

Noticing the lingering tension on his face, Jenna quickly tried to calm him.

“Relax, Gilbert.

Madisyn’s always with that pretty boy.

ALL we have to do is let Dane know, and he’ll get rid of her in no time!”

Meanwhile, Dane remained completely oblivious to the plots forming at the gate of the house.

When he heard about what had transpired earlier, his response was swift and merciless.

He had immediately commanded his security team to permanently bar anyone from the Chapman and Santos families from entering the Johns’ property.

He also directed his assistant to cut all ties with the Santos family’s business, effective immediately.

How dare the Santos family mess with his little sister?

They must have lost their minds!

Dane turned around with a warm smile.

“Madisyn, most of the guests have arrived.

Would you like me to introduce you to them?”

Madisyn nodded, following Dane obediently into the living room.

The villa’s living room buzzed with excitement as guests clustered around Kristine, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.
