Whoever did this would pay tenfold, she swore to herself.

Asher’s world tilted, his mind struggling to grasp the enormity of her words.

His heart pounded in his chest, the shock threatening to pull him under.

That bitch, Madisyn.

.

She had kicked him so hard that he was now impotent-forever!

“Ah!” Asher screamed, clutching his head.

“It’s Madisyn, Mom.

Madisyn! She’s such a bitch! How could she do this to me!”

“Don’t worry, Asher, I’ll make sure we get justice,” Yadira replied through gritted teeth.

At the high school reunion, after Asher fainted and was rushed to the hospital, the eyes of the shocked attendees followed Madisyn as she walked over to Susan, who was clutching her back in pain.

After a quick check to ensure there was nothing seriously wrong, Madisyn still decided to accompany Susan to the hospital for a full examination.

As they were about to leave, Jenna blocked their path.

“Madisyn, you should apologize to Asher.

He’s the Cruz family’s only heir, and they won’t just let this slide,” Jenna said, her tone stern.

Madisyn smiled coolly at Jenna.

“Isn’t this what you hoped for? You invited me here just to stir up trouble, didn’t you?”

Jenna’s face twisted with indignation.

“Madisyn, how can you even say that? I just wanted us all to reconnect.

It’s been so long.

“Jenna, don’t waste your breath on her.

” Gilbert sneered, his disdain palpable.

“Madisyn’s lost it.

Ever since your family disowned her, she’s been nothing but vain and vindictive.

Keep your distance, or you might catch whatever’s got into her.

Jenna seemed torn, wanting to respond but feeling overwhelmed.

Teresa pulled her aside, her voice low.

“Jenna, really, just let her be.

If Madisyn wants to self-destruct, that’s her business, not ours.

Does she think she can really charm Dane? It’s laughable.

Gilbert never liked her; what makes her think Dane will?”

Gilbert shot Teresa a quizzical look; something in her tone didn’t sit right, but everyone nodded in agreement-Madisyn was just inviting trouble.

Jenna turned back to Madisyn with a helpless expression.

“Madisyn, let me give you one last piece of advice.

Stop depending on men.

You leaned on Gilbert too much, and after your relationship ended, you just jumped to another man.

We need to be strong on our own.

“Exactly.

Madisyn, relying on your looks and charm won’t sustain you forever,” Teresa chimed in.

The crowd’s reactions were mixed-some nodded in agreement, while others seemed skeptical.

Madisyn surveyed the room with a composed expression before her eyes settled on Gilbert.

“Gilbert, when we were together, who was really helping whom?” she asked quietly.

Gilbert tensed, caught off guard by her direct question.

Memories flooded back.

When he had first taken over his family’s business during his freshman year in high school, he lacked experience and often felt overwhelmed.

Madisyn had been there, quietly solving one problem after another.

Without her support, his early successes at the Santos Group might have been out of reach.

Yet, under the watchful eyes of their schoolmates, Gilbert maintained a composed demeanor and met Madisyn’s steady gaze.

After a tense pause, he responded, “Madisyn, I think you know very well that it was always me supporting you.

The prestige of being my fiancee brought you many advantages.

Madisyn laughed, a hint of irony tinging her voice.

“Alright, Gilbert, if that’s how you see it.

Gilbert hesitated, wary of meeting her gaze again.

In his heart, he grappled with a gnawing question: could he really confess before everyone that he had depended on a woman to succeed?
