Jordan echoed Josephineâs sentiments from the . âIt Ms. Madison were my sister, Iâd take good care of her. Nobody would ever push her around. Iâd be the best brother ever. Who wonkinâI want a sister as amazing as her?â
Harvey didnât know what to say. He felt like he was being subtly criticized, Walking over, he grabbed Jordanâs shoulder and moved him away from Madison. âMaddie is part of the Locke family, and she has the Locke blood in her. Weâre glad Mrs. Salle is fond of her, but Maddie already has her parents and brothers.â
Harvey wanted to make a point about them being related by blood.
Jordan deliberately mumbled, âHaving one doesnât make much differenceâ
William, Tanya, and Harvey were a loss for words.
Harvey became aware of the issue with Madison and earnestly responded, âWe admit that we were wrong in the past, and weâll 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.â
Josephine wasnât 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 shouldnât be mistreated in the Locke tamily or get picked on by Rebecca. But with the Locke familyâs disapproval, Josephine knew she couldnât take Madison away âTheard Madison didnât even have a proper dress for her welcome party,â Josephine held Madisonâs hand. âI went ahead and commissioned designers from all around the world to make a hundred evening gowns according to Maddieâs size.â
Jordan chimed in, âBesides evening gowns, we need to get Madison some casual wear, traditional He then gazed at Madison with a smirk, âMom handpicked all of them. Sheâs confident that Ms. Madison will look good on them.â
Madison frowned little. âDonât waste your money. I canât possibly wear all those clothes.â
Josephine immediately countered, âItâs not a waste of money because youâll wear them eventually. They are the symbols of your status as the heiress of the Locke family. Are you aware of how the family used to dote on Rebecca?
âOn Rebeccaâs 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.â
H Josephine cocked her head to one side and started recalling. âI remembered Harvey inviting Rebeccaâs 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.
âMeanwhile, 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.â
Josephine exclaimed Your family really showers Rebecca with love!â
She then turned to Madison and coaxed âYouâre only receiving some clothes and jewelry. Thereâs no reason to be modest. As a heiress of the Locke family, you need to keep up your appearance.â
Josephine told her people to move all the clothes to Madisonâs room.
Madison quickly stopped them. â
for the thought, but thereâs no way my room can fit all the clothes and jewelry.â
Josephine gaped at Madison. âDonât you have a dressing room?
âI do, but it wonât fit everythingâ
Josephine didnât believe it, so she grabbed Madisonâs hand and went to her bedroom. She was shocked when she saw the dressing room that was less 100 square feet.
The dressing room looked like a makeshift arrangement, with only a few metal racks placed here and there. There werenât many clothes hanging there. The most expensive piece was the Madison had taken at her welcome party.
Seeing how rundown the dressing room was, Tanya softly explained, âI asked Maddie earlier if she had any thoughts about the dressing room. She told me she didnât have much to add because she doesnât have many clothes,â
By the end of her sentence, Tanyaâs voice had become even softer She didnât see as biased toward Rebecca or Madison before. But after seeing Madisonâs small dressing room and comparing it with Rebeccaâs, who had the entire secund flour closet, she felt uneasy.
It dawned on her that she might be showing some favoritism.
