Alison was boasting about her intimacy with Neville.

Madison gave her a cold glance and said with a half–smile, “Alison, I pity you. I had you pegged as competent, but after three years of waiting, you can only do such coarse work to please him.”

Alison’s face turned slightly grim. “It’s all because you took my place!” she roared..

“Well, if Neville really wanted to marry you, why make you wait for three years?”

Madison’s words pierced through Alison’s heart like a cold knife, making her stagger.

Worried that she might reveal a hint of embarrassment when facing Neville, something she definitely couldn’t let Alison see, Madison said, I’ll bring in your meal. You can go back, Miss Conner.”
