I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 28 Madame

Mrs. Hans cast a condescending glance and remarked, “She’s just a crippled woman. Even if she’s here to gain the madam’s favor, why are you afraid of her?”

Olivia instantly felt reassured, clutching her mother’s arm tighter. “You’re right, Mom. Few people in the country can claim to know Madam Morgan, but you’re one of them!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve heard that President Morgan listens to her. Just be on your best behavior. As long as the madam says the word, your father’s company will continue to operate.

“I mean, Mom. How great could she be if she was close with those two?”

Melanie’s gaze turned cold, but she calmly said, “If I understand you correctly, does that mean you’re distancing yourself from your dear friend, Lena Jones? She’s quite skilled at manipulating people. So how great can you be?”
