Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 37

Andrew explained, “I was expecting a friend, but he’s been held up.

”

Perfect! This moment was for her to savor.

Madisyn could barely hold her excitement.

They proceeded into the restaurant, where they were immediately ushered by the manager into a VIP room.

The space was serene and tastefully decorated, offering a view of a gently babbling stream.

Its beauty was undeniable.

Just as they settled in, Andrew’s phone rang.

“I’ll need to take this,” he said, excusing himself.

Madisyn nodded understandingly.

She went to use the restroom, and when she exited the restroom, a grating voice stopped her in her tracks.

“Why are you here?”

She looked up to see Jenna, elegantly clad in a Chanel gown, standing beside a man who looked moderately impressed.

His expression quickly soured when h

e saw Madisyn, as if he’d glimpsed something distasteful.

Jenna, feigning innocence and surprise, asked, “Madisyn, what brings you here? This isn’t a place for just anyone.

Surely you’re not here to see Gilbert?”

Madisyn wouldn’t be kept by her sugar daddy forever.

Gilbert, as the heir of the Santos family, had drawn the admiration of numerous socialites in Gemond.

Jenna, seeing Madisyn here, jumped to the conclusion that she was here to pursue Gilbert.

Jenna’s words only deepened the disdain in Gilbert’s eyes.

He rebuked Madisyn sharply.

“Madisyn, remember what I said when Jenna returned? She’s my real fiancee.

You, having occupied her place for more than twenty years, should be embarrassed rather than shamelessly pestering me.

Your malice knows no bounds!”

Madisyn was taken aback.

““Pestering you? I’m the one who stopped contacting you in the first place.

Did you forget?”

Gilbert’s expression flickered with embarrassment.

Back then, he hadn’t expected Madisyn to cut ties with him so decisively.

He had assumed she would cling.

After all, she had helped him so much before; she surely loved him deeply.

“Hmph, I thought you had moved on, but following me here proves otherwise.

You’re such a pathetic woman!” Gilbert taunted, his eyes gleaming with smug superiority.

“Regardless of how you feel, I’m devoted to Jenna now.

Spare us the drama and just leave,” Gilbert added, his voice tinged with finality.

Adopting a softer tone, Jenna interjected, her smile thinly veiled, “Madisyn, since you’ve made the trip, why not join us? The cuisine is unparalleled here, and securing a table took some effort.

”

Madisyn declined firmly.

“No, thank you.

” She would rather maintain her dignity than share a table with them.

As she turned to depart, Gilbert’s taunt followed.

“Jenna’s offering a courtesy you’re unlikely to encounter again, now that you’ve left the Chapman family’s luxuries behind.

It’s foolish to pretend indifference.

”

His patronizing tone implied a grace bestowed upon an unworthy recipient.
