Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 125:

Kristine felt a chilling coldness envelop her. Anger clogged her chest, making it difficult to breathe. How could these people speak of her that way? They all stood there, talking about her carelessly. If they were in her shoes, they’d likely do the same.

Andrew stood with an icy, regal demeanor. In a frosty tone, he said, “Moreover, the Johns family wanted you to call off the engagement because I don’t like you. But Madisyn is different.” His words struck Kristine hard.

Kristine coughed up blood instantly. Her mind went blank. Why was the world so cruel to her? It was utterly unjust. Then, she noticed a fruit knife nearby.

“Ha, you’re all wicked. You all deserve to die! Since I can’t stay here anymore, you can die with me!” Kristine laughed maniacally, dashed for the fruit knife, and plunged it towards Madisyn with force!

Everyone tensed up. “Madisyn!” Elaine screamed in horror.

Madisyn’s eyes sparkled as she prepared to sidestep, but suddenly, a figure stepped in front of her. Kristine’s knife was intercepted. She saw Andrew blocking her, as tall and dignified as ever. He had always been remarkable, even as a young boy.

A bitter smile crossed her face. “Andrew, do you care for her that much?”

Andrew remained silent. Blood dripped from his fingers as he clutched the knife. He had seized the knife and forcefully pushed Kristine away. Kristine was thrust against the wall and promptly lost consciousness.

“Andrew!” Madisyn looked at Andrew’s hand with concern. His fingers, usually as perfect as sculptures, were bleeding. She exclaimed, “You are so foolish! I could have dodged it.”

“I was scared.” Andrew looked at her, his usually icy gaze now filled with warmth.

Elaine let out a sigh of relief, her legs giving way slightly, almost causing her to kneel. Glenn quickly steadied her.

Dane instructed a doctor to treat Andrew’s wound and then called the police to remove Kristine and the vagrant. The guests, sensing the mood, discreetly departed one by one.

After the doctor bandaged Andrew, Waylon thanked him. Once Dane had seen the last guest out, he returned, and Waylon approached him immediately, saying, “Did you see that? Andrew saved Madisyn. You’ve always been tough on him. Let’s not do that anymore.”

Dane glanced at Madisyn and Andrew on the sofa. She was concerned, asking if he was in pain.

Andrew managed a sheepish smile, feeling a bit embarrassed. “It hurts a bit. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to eat normally for a while.”

“Come to my home for meals. You were injured saving me. It’s only right I look after you,” Madisyn offered, feeling responsible.

“Would that be too much trouble?”

“Not at all.”

“Okay.” Andrew consented.

Dane sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead. He realized that, despite her strengths, Madisyn could be as naive as Waylon. Feeling drained, he headed upstairs.noveldrama

Waylon returned to the sofa, and just then, his phone chimed with a message.

“Ahhh! Why?” Waylon exclaimed suddenly.

“What’s wrong, Waylon?” Madisyn inquired.

Waylon showed his displeasure and said, “I asked someone to design dresses for you but was refused. Does this designer think my offer was too low?”

Madisyn remained silent.

“Never mind. I’ll find someone else.”

“No, Waylon, I already have too many clothes. I think you can just pick up something simple.”

“Okay. I’ll take your advice and just give you the money,” Waylon replied.

No sooner had he spoken than he transferred ten million dollars to Madisyn’s account. Waylon was thrilled. He was determined to give Madisyn more than Dane did!

Madisyn was taken aback. Ten million was all Waylon earned for a movie!

“Waylon…”

“Madisyn, you have to take it! Now you can buy whatever expensive clothes you want,” Waylon insisted earnestly.

Madisyn was moved to tears, and after a moment, she slowly nodded in agreement.

Waylon then headed upstairs. The doctor had finished tending to Andrew’s wound. It was late, so he left. The bustling villa quieted down once more. No one had anticipated so many events unfolding in just one day.

Madisyn had intended to have Susan stay, but with everything that had happened, Susan decided to leave as well. Then Madisyn went to check on Elaine. Elaine had undoubtedly been hit hard by the day’s events. Madisyn knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” a voice responded from within.

“It’s me, Mom.”
