When Madelyn heard Thea mention that she had organized the dinner using Nicolas's name, a brief flicker of panie flashed across her eyes before she quickly masked it.

Turning to Jake, who was visibly upset, she forced a bitter smile as tears welled up in her eyes. "Now I see. Ms. Rowland set it up on purpose. Jake, I'm not feeling well. Can we go home?" she said, her voice trembling.

Jake, his face hard with anger, glared at Thea "Just because you lost out on Ms. Maddox's deal doesn't give you the right to take it out on Madelyn. What has she ever done to you?"

Madelyn shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks, looking helpless and pitiful.

Growing tired of the escalating drama, Joyce frowned. "I don't want to get caught up in your company's internal issues. 1 have other things to handle. If there's more to discuss, we can reschedule.

Then, she shifted her focus to Jake and Madelyn with a sharp, challenging gaze. "Do you know why I invited you both here. when I could have just met Ms. Maddox on my own?"

Furious, Jake snapped, "Obviously, you wanted to humiliate us.

"Is that what you think?" Thea raised an eyebrow and smirked, her eyes locking onto Madelyn, who was turning pale. "And you, Miss Terell? Care to guess? There might be consequences if you get it wrong.

"I... I... Madelyn stammered, visibly shaken, sweat forming on her forehead as she struggled to meet Thea's gaze.

Noticing the shift in the atmosphere, Joyce frowned, sensing something was amiss.
