Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 35

Madisyn’s voice softened.

“I’m going to see a friend.

Would you Like to join me, Mom?”

“No, dear, go ahead.

I’ll stay here,” Elaine responded, her voice carrying a note of understanding.

“Just make sure to take the driver.

”

“Alright!”

Soon, Madisyn arrived at a skincare store where her friend, Susan Riggs, worked as a saleswoman.

Susan’s face lit up at her arrival, and she handed Madisyn some new product samples.

“Try these out.

They are from our latest line,” she suggested enthusiastically.

In front of her friend, Madisyn’s usual reserve melted away, revealing a side of her that was seldom seen-a softer, more genuine Madisyn.

“Well, thank you.

But really, why don’t you keep these for yourself?”

Madisyn asked.

Susan chuckled softly, her gaze thoughtful.

“These items come at a steep price.

I use them sparingly on clients here and just a bit on myself from time to time.

That’s all I really need,” she explained.

Then, her expression shifted to one of concern.

“Madisyn, how have you been holding up? I heard you had parted ways with the Chapman family.

Where are you staying these days?”

Madisyn responded with a serene smile, “I’ve found a nice place, actually.

You should come over for a visit soon.

”

Relief washed over Susan’s fa

ce.

“I’m glad to hear that,” she sighed, her earlier worries dissipating.

Their lifelong friendship had always been a source of strength and they told each other everything.

Suddenly, Susan asked, her voice filled with genuine interest, “And how are things going with your fiance?”

The Chapman and Santos families had intended to strengthen their ties through marriage.

Madisyn paused before responding to Susan’s inquiry about her supposed fiance.

“He’s not my fiance anymore.

”

Susan’s expression softened with empathy.

“Are you serious? But you’ve been together for so long…”

“Time doesn’t mean everything,” Madisyn replied.

“Besides, I was never truly a Chapman.

”

She reflected on her relationship with Gilbert Santos-it had always felt more like companionship than romance.

The dynamics had shifted drastically when Jenna returned.

The change in Gilbert’s demeanor made Madisyn’s past feelings seem almost foolish in retrospect, especially considering she had once helped his family during a financial crisis, viewing him as her future partner.

As they continued their conversation, a customer entered the store, prompting Susan to excuse herself to attend to the new arrival.

Madisyn remained seated nearby, watching as more customers filtered in.

Not wanting to impose while Susan was busy, Madisyn decided it was time to leave.

After a brief farewell, she stepped out of the skincare store.

As Madisyn wandered outside the store, her attention was caught by a tall figure not far off.
