Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 346

Chapter 346:

“My family’s affairs are none of your business. At least Susan is kind-hearted and sensible, unlike some malicious people who might destroy a whole family,” Madisyn said, her smile barely present.

Josie realized Madisyn was implying that she was malicious. She couldn’t stand it but dared not fight back. If Madisyn was serious about pairing Susan with Dane, Josie would be out of luck!

Josie shot back a glare at Madisyn and Susan, then turned and left. It was clear she needed a new strategy.

As she moved forward, Josie noticed Esteban’s car hadn’t left. The window was down, revealing Esteban’s stern, unsmiling face. Taking a deep breath, Josie approached him. “Mr. Riggs, why are you still here?”

Esteban’s expression didn’t change. He had heard everything the three women had talked about. “Don’t even think about collaborating with my company,” he said coldly.

Josie’s face fell. “Mr. Riggs, why?” Before she could say more, Esteban rolled up the window, and his luxury car drove off, leaving a cloud of exhaust. She stood frozen for a long while. Slowly, she tightened her grip on her bag. With the cooperation gone, she had to redouble her efforts to win over Dane!

When Madisyn and her friends returned to their car, Evie exclaimed, “What is wrong with Josie? I can’t believe she’s still not backing down!”

“By the way, Madisyn, is Susan Dane’s girlfriend?” Evie asked curiously. Madisyn nodded.

Evie expressed her astonishment, saying, “I never thought Dane would date someone!”

Susan appeared a little shy. Seeing her reaction, Evie sighed and said, “Seems no man can resist a beautiful woman!”

Madisyn smiled and said, “Stop, or Susan might jump out of the car.”

Evie responded, “I didn’t mean any harm!”

They all went home. As Madisyn neared her parents’ house, she saw the lights were still on. Earlier, she had explained things to her parents, but she felt concerned they might still be upset.

Approaching the door, she suddenly heard a loud slap coming from inside.

Madisyn was stunned and quickly opened the door.

Inside the living room, she saw not only Elaine and Glenn but also Sarai and Courtney.

Elaine had just slapped Courtney.

“What is wrong with you, Elaine? How could you strike my daughter?” Sarai shouted, glaring at Elaine.

Elaine sneered, “Sarai, you’re vile. We were lenient with you before, and this is how you repay us—by trying to steal my daughter’s boyfriend? You have no heart. We should have had your daughter arrested when we had the chance!”

A flicker of shame crossed Sarai’s face, but she dismissed it quickly. “So what? If my daughter goes to jail, she’s still carrying Andrew’s child. He’ll make sure she gets what she deserves. You’re just envious. You think everyone loves Madisyn, but you know what? Andrew loves my daughter!” Sarai’s tone grew increasingly triumphant.

Despite the slap, Courtney wore a smug smile, staring down Elaine with a defiant and cold look. Once she married Andrew, she planned to settle scores—she would pay back that slap a hundredfold.

“Madisyn,” Elaine turned to her daughter, concern in her eyes.

Madisyn took her mother’s hand gently and reassured her, saying, “I’m okay. They’re fooling themselves. Don’t let them get to you.”

“Fooling ourselves? The child Courtney is carrying is very real,” Sarai snapped, implying Madisyn was in denial due to her distress. She continued, “Madisyn, I suggest you step aside and end things with Andrew. Courtney is going to be his wife. Damari has already accepted the child.”

“Let them marry if they can,” Madisyn said calmly.

Sarai squinted at her. “So, you’re not leaving Andrew?”

Madisyn smiled and met her gaze. “It seems you’re the one lacking confidence. You’re afraid Andrew won’t marry Courtney if I don’t step away.”

“Courtney is carrying Andrew’s baby. He’s going to marry her!”

“Your trump card is this baby, but are you certain it’s Andrew’s? Even if it is, what will you do if Andrew doesn’t accept it?” Madisyn responded calmly.

Sarai’s expression turned grim. She had hoped Madisyn would be flustered, but instead, she was full of confidence.

Madisyn had made a valid point—if Andrew denied the child, Courtney would be powerless.

They might consider leveraging public sentiment to sway Andrew, but what if he remained indifferent?

“Leave within a minute, and never come back!” Madisyn said, her voice icy and authoritative. Sarai and Courtney shuddered under the severity of her tone.
