Chapter 387 Stepping Down from the Altar

Seeing Vanessa's self-sacrificing words, Madison felt even more sympathy for her.

Madison: [Vanessa, don't worry. I'm here. I won't let them get back together.]

Vanessa sent several crying emojis, and the more Madison looked at them, the more she pitied Vanessa.

Madison put her phone away, leaned forward, and said, "Theodore, I'm going to play some music."
