Chapter 31
The other party was a refined and charming upper-class woman.
After interacting with her a few times, Madeline knew that she was Eloise Patton, also known as Mrs. Montgomery. She was of
the top four rich and influential families of Glendale.
For some reason, Madeline felt a close and dear connection with Eloise every time she talked to her.
The Montgomerys had a lot of assets under their name, and Eloise was responsible for the jewelry. She was very satisfied with
Madeline’s first draft.
Due to some special reasons, Eloise invited Madeline to her home the day she was supposed to hand in her final draft.
When she got there, she found out today was the 24th birthday of Eloise and Sean Montgomery’s precious daughter, Brittany
Montgomery.
Madeline then remembered today was her 24th birthday as well.
Looking at Brittany who had been pampered like a princess since she was a child, Madeline could not help but feel envious.
Ever since she was young, she did not know what was the love of a father and a mother. When she had the chance to be
someone’s mother, God decided to give her such a short life span.
She could feel a dull pain in her heart. Madeline took a deep breath and smiled.
No matter what, she needed to make 300,000 dollars for her grandfather’s surgery.
When Madeline was about to go over and wish Brittany a happy birthday, Meredith wandered into her vision.
She was dressed stunningly and had her makeup nicely done. She was holding Brittany’s arm as they took selfies together.
Meredith and Brittany were good friends. Madeline did not expect this.
To prevent any trouble, Madeline wanted to turn around and leave, but Meredith stopped her.
“Maddie, it is you! I thought I was seeing things,” Meredith greeted with a soft and gentle voice. “Why are you here?”
Madeline looked at her coldly. “It’s none of your business.”
“Why is it none of my business? You’re my sister and today is my best friend, Brit’s, birthday. Everyone here is rich. What if you
do something shameless like last time again? What should I do then?” she said softly, but the glint in her eyes was extremely
sinister.
Madeline chuckled. “Sister? I don’t have a two-faced sister who’d seduce her younger sister’s husband like you.”
“You...” Meredith’s face froze. It was evident that she was feeling awkward.
At this moment, Brittany walked over. She was dressed head to toe in branded and luxurious clothing. When she was standing
next to Madeline who was wearing something unpresentable, she looked dazzling.
She looked at Madeline with interest and then came to a realization.
“Mer, so this is your shameless sister?”
When Madeline heard this, she was shocked.
It was evident that Meredith had talked badly about her behind her back.
“Brit, it’s fine. She’s my sister after all. I’m just not destined to be with Jeremy.” Meredith sighed sadly. Then, she looked at
Madeline. “Maddie, you should go. Don’t try to steal something like last time.”
“How would this kind of disgusting person get invited to my birthday party?” Brittany’s eyes were filled with contempt. “For Mer’s
sake, you should go now! If not, I’ll get someone to kick you out!”
Madeline held the draft in her hands and smiled calmly. “Miss Montgomery, your mother was the one who invited a disgusting
person like me here.”
Brittany and Meredith looked at each other, shocked.
At this moment, Eloise walked out of the house and Brittany approached her immediately. She pointed at Madeline and said
something in Eloise’s ear. Instantly, Madeline saw that there was a hint of rejection and disdain in Eloise’s eyes when she was
looking at her.
Madeline knew something was not right. However, she still smiled and greeted, “Mrs. Montgomery, I brought over the drafts that
you wanted.”
“Please go now, Miss Crawford,” said Eloise with an oddly calm tone. “I won’t accept any of those drafts. As for your deposit, I
won’t take it back. Just treat it as the cost of lost labor. Please don’t come to me ever again. I won’t allow the jewelry design of
Montgomery Enterprise to be tarnished by a dirty woman like you.”
