Chapter 191 He Is Mine

As Wesley spoke, he intentionally clicked his tongue.

Madelyn immediately furrowed her lows. I was there, so I knew exactly what happened. He must have said so just to stir up trouble

At that, Madelyn immediately expressed her disdain. “Wesley, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to tell me that Sebastian cares more about Harriet?”

“Isn’t that so?” Wesley scoffed, his voice dripping with sarcaun.

Madelyn rolled her eyes in annoyance as if she had heard a ridiculous joke. She sneered, “Listen, Wesley Gilbert. I know they’re the best partners at work, but that’s all there is to their relationship. The only person Sebastian loves is me, and I’ll always be the love of his life! If not, with all the chances she’s had over the years, Harriet would have won Sebastian over a long time ago.”

Madelyn spoke firmly.

She had let Sebastian down in her past life. Now that she was given an opportunity to start all over, she wouldn’t allow anyone to snatch Sebastian away from her.

“Oh, really? I think you’re just living in denial,” Wesley sneered disdainfully. “Take a good look at yourself. Madelyn. What makes you think you’re better than Harriet? She’s beautiful and intelligent, and she’s been Sebastian’s most reliable assistant for years. And you? You’re nothing! You’ve been acting all high and mighty because of your status, but what have you accomplished? Sebastian might have liked you in the past. but do you think, with the way you act now, he still has feelings for you? Of course, he’ll choose a kind and gentle woman, not someone as brash and unreasonable as you!”

Wesley had always spoken ill of Madelyn behind her back in the past, but this time, he was so frustrated that he decided to vent all his pent–up frustrations at once.

Those remarks were hurtful, hitting Madelyn right in the heart.

Yet, on second thought, she found what he said to be absurd. Glaring at Wesley, she said. “Yes, you’re right. I’m not as accomplished as Harriet in many ways. But I’m not as worthless as you make me out to be Mr. Gilbert, you’ve been constantly picking on me all this while. I’ve let it slide because you’re Sebastian’s best friend, but don’t you find yourself pathetic?”

“Stop spouting nonsense! Why would you say I’m pathetic?” Wesley snapped, his tone a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.

“Even I pity you. You obviously have feelings for Harriet, yet you chose to play Cupid, trying to set her up with Sebastian. Trying to play a matchmaker between Harriet and Sebastian? That’s the most insincere
