Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 557

Amidst the praises, Sarai’s sharp voice cut through.

“Are you happy now?” Her tone was accusatory as she approached with a shell-shocked Courtney beside her.

Elaine was fed up with her attitude and met her gaze with a cold retort.

“What are you trying to start again?”

Sarai scoffed, “You think I don’t see through you? You deliberately used this occasion to overshadow us, deceiving us into thinking Courtney was the chosen student when it was Madisyn all along.

We are family, but you treat us as mere tools.

”

“Shut up!” Rowan interjected, approaching with a furrowed brow.

His voice was stern, but his eyes betrayed a different emotion-there was sadness rather than anger.

“What nonsense are you spewing? Glenn would never do such a thing.

Elaine said coldly, “Before this banquet, we had no idea that Hutton was considering Madisyn as his student, nor did we realize she was so talented in painting.

Hutton mentioned he would hold a banquet to introduce his new student, so we informed you.

”

“She’s your daughter.

How could you not know she is good at painting? Who would believe that?” Sarai found Elaine’s words absurd.

Her eyes brimmed with resentment and disdain.

Courtney felt like she might burst into tears.

Most people tend to sympathize with the underdog.

Witnessing this scene, many felt sorry for her.

“I do feel sorry for Courtney… Since it’s a new.

student introduction banquet, shouldn’t Glenn have made it clear who it was for…”

“That’s right.

He let them be happy for a while, only to be embarrassed later.

”

“I might have reacted like Courtney if I were in her shoes.

After all, she didn’t know Madisyn could paint.

”

“Is this some kind of scheme?”

Some began to view Glenn and his family skeptically.

Seeing this, Sarai smirked inwardly.

Even if Courtney wasn’t chosen as Hutton’s student, this was enough.

In time, everyone would see how Madisyn mistreated Courtney.

She would never enjoy a good reputation again.

Even Glenn’s reputation might suffer.

“What does this have to do with them?” Hutton’s voice suddenly cut through the murmurs.

He had approached as soon as he heard the commotion.

He had never liked Rowan and his family.

“Rowan, you just allow your wife and daughter to behave like that?”

Rowan was caught off-guard by Hutton’s public reprimand, his face turning red.

“Mr.

Marquez, I…”

“I visited your home and after seeing your daughter’s paintings, I said I’d give mentoring her some thought.

I thought you understood my meaning.

” Hutton’s tone was frosty.

“I won’t take any student who isn’t talented enough.

”

His comment left Rowan visibly more mortified.

It turned out Hutton was declining to mentor Courtney with those words.
