Madison spotted someone in the distance plucking flowers, and she immediately recognized that it was the stretch of jasmine flowers that Julia valued the most at the Hadley residence.

I can’t believe she’s bold enough to pluck the jasmine flowers Helen told me that this designer can design pretty clothes and is good at preparing desserts to please Mrs. Hadley. Is she trying to flatter Mrs. Hadley to win Nathaniel’s heart?

Madison strode over and declared, “Do you know each and every petal here is more important than you are? Who gave you the guts to pluck the flowers?”

Under the mask, Christina’s face had turned dark. So, Madison has been putting up a facade of being gracious in front of Nathaniel all this time? It’s revolting how she jumped to conclusions and rudely questioned me without even bothering to find out what I was really doing!

Madison went breathless with anger. “Do you think you own the whole place after staying here for a couple of days? I saw you plucking flowers with my own eyes! You really need me to teach you a lesson so you know your place, huh?”

She raised her hand angrily, intending to slap Christina.

Madison had no idea that the skinny-looking woman would be this strong.

She took a sharp breath, noticing how the woman’s eyes seemed to pierce through her even though. she couldn’t see the latter’s face.
