Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 364

Just then, a man approached and raised his glass to Madisyn.

“I toast to you, the most beautiful girl in our school.

”

Looking up, Madisyn realized she did not recognize the man.

“I’m sorry.

I’m not fond of drinking,” Madisyn said bluntly.

“Do you know what Asher is up to these days, Madisyn? I wouldn’t dismiss him so quickly,” Teresa said with a mischievous grin.

It turned out the man was Asher Cruz, someone who had pursued Madisyn earnestly during their high school years.

But she was clueless about his current endeavors.

Observing Madisyn’s indifferent expression, Asher mistakenly thought she was unaware of his current status.

He boasted, “I’m working at my father’s company now.

It’s a publicly traded group with ties to the Santos family and other prominent families! Madisyn, I know times are tough for you.

If you’re facing any difficulties, remember, I’m here for you.

We’re old classmates after all, and I won’t just stand by.

”

As he spoke, Asher reached out to touch Madisyn’s shoulder.

Susan felt a surge of annoyance, but Madisyn swiftly grabbed his hand and pushed it away.

Asher’s hand hit the wall, causing him a sharp pain.

The room fell silent.

Jenna watched the unfolding drama with narrowed eyes.

She had made a point to invite Asher to this high school reunion.

In high school, Asher had feelings for Madisyn, but he held back because she was from the prestigious Chapman family.

Now, Madisyn had lost her status.

This made it simpler for Asher to pursue her.

Indeed, this was on Asher’s mind.

Moreover, hearing rumors of Madisyn attempting to charm Dane, Asher thought of her as a slut.

Back then, when he admired her, she had seemed unattainable and virtuous.

Now, she was a village girl, while he had risen in status.

Asher thought she would surely seek his favor when she learned of his improved circumstances.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated Madisyn rejecting his advance so firmly.

“Madisyn, how dare you treat me this way?” Asher seethed, pain shooting through his hand.

“It’s a privilege that I like you.

Being with me would ensure you a life free from worries,” he said angrily.

“I’m sorry.

I couldn’t like you even if I were blind,” Madisyn retorted, her gaze icy and repulsed.

In a gentle tone, Jenna intervened, “Madisyn, aren’t you looking for a protector now? Asher’s family holds nearly the same influence as the Santos family.

You’d replace happiness with him eventually.

Forget about Dane.

He’s completely out of your reach.

”

Asher’s expression softened at Jenna’s words.

He slammed his glass down, peered at Madisyn with arrogance, and proposed, “If you drink this now, I’ll overlook your impudence just this once!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Madisyn.

They were expecting her to comply.
