The Fortune-Telling Heiress

Chapter 36

Jordan echoed Josephine's sentiments from the side. "It Ms. Madison were my sister, I'd take good care of her. Nobody would ever push her around. I'd be the best brother ever. Who wonkin'I want a sister as amazing as her?"

Harvey didn't know what to say. He felt like he was being subtly criticized,

Walking over, he grabbed Jordan's shoulder and moved him away from Madison. "Maddie is part of the Locke family, and she has the Locke blood in her. We're glad Mrs. Salle is fond of her, but Maddie already has her parents and brothers."

Harvey wanted to make a point about them being related by blood.

Jordan deliberately mumbled, "Having one doesn't make much difference"

William, Tanya, and Harvey were at a loss for words.

Harvey became aware of the issue with Madison and earnestly responded, "We admit that we were wrong in the past, and we'll make sure to do better going forward. As Mrs. Salle had pointed out, having a sister like Maddie is a blessing, so we will protect her from harm.”

Josephine wasn't ready to give up. She wanted to make Madison het goddaughter. Not just because Madison had helped the Salle family, but because of her admirable character. Such a wonderful young lady shouldn't be mistreated in the Locke tamily or get picked on by Rebecca. But with the Locke family's disapproval, Josephine knew she couldn't take Madison away

"Theard Madison didn't even have a proper dress for her welcome party," Josephine held Madison's hand. "I went ahead and commissioned designers from all around the world to make a hundred evening gowns according to Maddie's size."

Jordan chimed in, "Besides evening gowns, we need to get Madison some casual wear, traditional outfits, and a wide selection of jewelry"

He then gazed at Madison with a smirk, "Mom handpicked all of them. She's confident that Ms. Madison will look good on them."

Madison frowned a little. "Don't waste your money. I can't possibly wear all those clothes."

Josephine immediately countered, "It's not a waste of money because you'll wear them eventually. They are the symbols of your status as the heiress of the Locke family. Are you aware of how the Locke family used to dote on Rebecca?

"On Rebecca's 18th birthday, William bought her a private island overseas, and Tanya established a jewelry company just for her. And the gifts from your three brothers are even more outrageous.'

Josephine cocked her head to one side and started recalling. "I remembered Harvey inviting Rebecca's favorite international hand to perform at her birthday party. Ethan bought the front pages of all the top magazines to let everyone know that Rebecca had turned 18.

"Meanwhile, Jason won first place in his competition that day. In front of the reporters, he handed the trophy to Rebecca to celebrate her 18th birthday."

Josephine exclaimed, "Your family really showers Rebecca with love!"

She then turned to Madison and coaxed, "You're only receiving some clothes and jewelry. There's no reason to be modest. As a heiress of the Locke family, you need to keep up your appearance." Josephine told her people to move all the clothes to Madison's room.

Madison quickly stopped them. "Thanks for the thought, but there's no way my room can fit all the clothes and jewelry."

Josephine gaped at Madison. "Don't you have a dressing room?

"I do, but it won't fit everything"

Josephine didn't believe it, so she grabbed Madison's hand and went to her bedroom. She was shocked when she saw the dressing room that was less than 100 square feet.

The dressing room looked like a makeshift arrangement, with only a few metal racks placed here and there. There weren't many clothes hanging there. The most expensive piece was the dress Madison had taken at her welcome party.

Seeing how rundown the dressing room was, Tanya softly explained, "I asked Maddie earlier if she had any thoughts about the dressing room. She told me she didn't have much to add because she doesn't have many clothes,"

By the end of her sentence, Tanya's voice had become even softer

She didn't see herself as biased toward Rebecca or Madison before. But after seeing Madison's small dressing room and comparing it with Rebecca's, who had the entire secund flour closet, she felt uneasy. It dawned on her that she might be showing some favoritism.
