Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 130:

Liza was shocked when she saw the name. “Do you go by the last name Richardson?”

Teresa felt a chill down her spine under Liza’s doubtful gaze. Caught up in the moment, she had almost believed she was truly Miss Johns. Regaining her composure, she explained, “I need to keep a low profile here. I can’t let anyone find out about my identity. That’s why I’m using a fake name.”

“Oh, I see. Miss Johns, you’re very cautious,” Liza said, somewhat confused. But today, only Madisyn and Teresa were the new arrivals. If not Teresa, could the president’s sister be Madisyn? After a quick look at Madisyn, who was dressed simply, Liza put her suspicions to rest.

They returned to the office. Liza held the position of deputy director of the department. She assigned little work to Teresa but handed Madisyn a hefty stack of documents, instructing, “Read these thoroughly today and write me a summary.” She then left for her office without waiting for Madisyn’s response.

Madisyn glanced at the papers, finding them entirely irrelevant. Was that woman deliberately making things difficult for her? Well, it was so boring. Yet, Madisyn chose not to reveal her true identity, taking this as a chance to gain a deeper insight into the company.

Shortly thereafter, she got a message from Dane. “Madisyn, how are you finding your time at the company?”

She replied, “Well, it’s quite intriguing.”

It appeared there were many redundant employees in this company, once managed by Kristine. Now that she was part of the Johns family, she felt compelled to contribute meaningfully.

Dane said, “It’s great that you’re enjoying it. Let me know if you need anything.”

Teresa settled at her desk, occasionally receiving snacks from her colleagues. This was a new experience for her; she was overjoyed by the attention she received as a wealthy woman.

Noticing Madisyn buried in paperwork, Teresa approached and asked, “Madisyn, do you need my help with anything?”

Madisyn looked up and replied, “If you’re free, please focus on something substantial.”

“Why do you keep up the act? Do you think hard work will elevate your status? You’ll always be working under me,” Teresa said arrogantly.

“Is that so? I recall there’s a performance review at the company. Even if you are Miss Johns, failure could get you dismissed,” Madisyn countered.

Madisyn’s reminder struck a chord with Teresa. The marketing department’s duties included brand promotion, market analysis, and managing artists’ resources, among other things. Failure to meet performance standards meant termination. The expectations in large corporations were stringent.

Teresa flinched before saying hastily, “I’m the president’s sister. You should be more worried about yourself. Even if I fail, a quick call to my brother will sort things out.”

Was she already used to pretending to be someone she wasn’t? Madisyn chose not to talk to her anymore. Despite Teresa’s confident words, she felt a tinge of fear and quickly returned to her tasks.

However, she discreetly sent a message to Jenna, informing her that Madisyn had started working at Edge Entertainment. This reinforced Jenna’s belief that Madisyn was attempting to charm Dane. What a shameless bitch!

After being escorted out of the Johns family’s house last time, Jenna hated Madisyn even more. At that moment, she concocted a new plan for revenge.

At six o’clock, Madisyn finished her workday. Liza, also leaving, noticed Madisyn heading out and stopped her, saying, “Where do you think you’re going, Madisyn? You haven’t completed your work. Are you trying to sneak off?”

“I’m here to contribute to the company’s success, not to waste time on those irrelevant documents you handed me.”

“Do you think those documents are irrelevant? Then show me what you have done.”

Madisyn invited Liza to look at her computer screen, which displayed several complex mind maps. After a short time, Liza began to sweat. Though she had only skimmed a few, it was clear to her that Madisyn was capable. If Liza continued to make things difficult for Madisyn, she would only humiliate herself.

“Forget it. I don’t want to be too harsh on you on your first day.” Liza then suggested to everyone, “Since it’s Miss Richardson’s first day, why don’t we all go out for dinner?”noveldrama

“Okay!” Some agreed immediately. However, others hesitated, not keen on the idea.

“No, I won’t join. You go ahead,” Madisyn responded.

“Madisyn, it’s your first day, too. You should appreciate the chance to have a nice dinner with Miss Johns,” Liza said. “Besides, we’re all in the same department. Don’t let us down.”

Madisyn narrowed her eyes, gauging the mood of her colleagues. Some were eager, others not so much. Thinking for a while, Madisyn said, “Alright then. I’ll come along.”
