Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 263

Chapter 263:

Madisyn’s soothing words helped Elaine relax. Seeing Madisyn unfazed by the incident, Elaine felt relieved, though her remaining goodwill towards Sarai had vanished. As tensions escalated, Damari slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming, “What happened exactly?”

Courtney glanced at Madisyn and then burst into tears. “After Andrew walked away to answer a call, I suggested to Madisyn that she should learn the ways of a noble family if she plans to marry him. But it seems she took it the wrong way. She got upset and pushed me into the river. Andrew, you saw it, didn’t you?” Courtney looked pleadingly at Andrew, tears brimming in her eyes. She had timed her fall perfectly to ensure Andrew witnessed it.

However, Andrew simply responded, “I didn’t see anything.”

Courtney’s tearful face suddenly became awkwardly frozen. Sarai, sympathizing with her daughter, remarked, “I know Madisyn is Andrew’s fiancée and he’ll naturally support her, but this is unjust. Courtney has been mistreated!”

Rowan chimed in, “Glenn, how should we handle this? Courtney just wanted to help!” Rowan struggled to accept that Madisyn could behave so aggressively, but with what seemed like evidence before him, he felt compelled to defend his daughter.

Madisyn looked at Courtney with cold eyes. “Courtney, what are you trying to achieve here? Are you trying to catch the Klein family’s attention to marry into their family?”

“Madisyn, I don’t know what you mean. I was only looking out for you,” Courtney responded, her voice shaky.

Losing patience, Madisyn warned, “Since we are related, I’ll give you one more chance. Tell the truth.”

To Courtney, Madisyn’s demand felt like a provocation. Anger surged within her. Did Madisyn really think she could convince everyone of her innocence?

“Madisyn, you pushed me! Why won’t you admit it? Do you think you can mistreat others just because people like you?” Courtney shouted, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face. Her distressed appearance might deceive anyone.

Bruno, unable to stand by silently, was about to intervene when Dora held him back. Considering their prior missteps with Damari, they decided it was best to remain quiet for now.

Madisyn offered a smile. Courtney was confused. How could Madisyn remain composed and even smile at a time like this?

Madisyn remarked, “Courtney, do you honestly believe that a place as grand as this manor wouldn’t have surveillance cameras?”

At this, Courtney was visibly startled.

Madisyn maintained her half-smile and continued, “When you grabbed my hand, I didn’t react. You simply leapt into the water yourself. Who would actually think I pushed you?”

As Bruno was about to interject, Andrew decisively ordered, “Check the surveillance footage!”

“Wait!” Courtney exclaimed with a raspy voice. “Never mind. I don’t want to pursue this any further.”

“Courtney, it’s me who intends to pursue this now. You tried to set me up. Why would I just let it go?” Madisyn’s stare was unyielding.

Courtney trembled, feeling as though Madisyn had seen right through her, leaving her utterly vulnerable. Her lips quivered, but no words came out. It was evident to everyone what had truly transpired now from Courtney’s reaction.

Disappointment filled Glenn’s eyes. Damari let out a cold laugh. “The Johns family is really something. All from the same lineage, yet the difference in your characters is astounding!”

Rowan turned pale, looking at Courtney in shock. “Courtney, what have you done?” He was in disbelief that his daughter could fabricate such a lie, especially after the embarrassment they had just experienced here today. This was the last straw for Rowan, and he felt like he was going to lose his mind.

Standing there, trembling, Courtney finally broke down, lowering her head and yelling in frustration, “Madisyn, this is all because of you! If not for you, none of this would have happened!” With that, she stormed off.

“Courtney!” Rowan called out, his voice laden with sorrow. He now realized Courtney had indeed attempted to frame Madisyn. When did his daughter change so drastically?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Klein,” Rowan apologized to Damari, filled with remorse. “I’m not sure what came over Courtney today. I’ve clearly disrupted your day. I’ll ensure she faces consequences at home. Please forgive us.”

Damari closed his eyes and dismissed him with a wave, evidently done with the encounter.
