Chapter 496:

Betsey Crossed The Line

That evening, when Madisyn arrived back home, Elaine and Glenn eagerly asked her what she would like for her birthday. Not having any particular wishes or ideas in mind, Madisyn shrugged and let them decide.

“I’ll invite your brothers to your birthday party. Tell me if there’s anyone else you’d like to join us,” Elaine said, her enthusiasm lighting up her face.

“Sure,” Madisyn agreed, smiling as she watched how excited her mother was.

Once Madisyn got back to her room, she neatly put together the guest list and quickly sent it over to Elaine. With that task complete, she turned her attention to investigating Betsey’s background. It struck her that she didn’t know enough about the students she had been supporting.

During her deep dive into Betsey’s past, Madisyn unearthed disturbing details. Despite being an outstanding student in school, Betsey had been tangled up with wealthy older men since she was a teenager. She had even gone as far as to destroy some families, eventually ending up in Ansport.

Madisyn’s fists tightened in frustration. Wasting no time, she reached out to Jared, firmly instructing him to look into the backgrounds of all the students she had financially supported. Anyone found with serious moral flaws would be removed from the program, and they’d be forced to pay back the money she had given them.

“Don’t stress too much. Most of the students are pretty well-mannered, but Betsey really crossed the line. I never would have guessed someone like her, a top student, could have such a shady side,” Jared said, sharing Madisyn’s frustration. “Should I cancel the support for her and ask her to pay back the money?”

Madisyn narrowed her eyes. “No need for that. I’ve got something in mind. Betsey’s dug herself into this mess, and she’s going to pay for it.”

“Got it.” Jared knew all too well that the price Betsey would pay for going up against Madisyn would be severe.

Meanwhile, Betsey had no clue what was coming her way. After a lovely night out with Levi, she went into her dressing room to choose a perfect outfit. She was determined to make a lasting impression at Madisyn’s birthday party.

Eventually, she decided on a striking white gown. Betsey admired herself in the mirror, filled with confidence that she’d steal the spotlight at the event among all the young attendees.

After picking the dress, Betsey sat down on the floor, typing away to draft a news article, which she planned to send to some influential accounts on Twitter. There was no way she was going to let that shop assistant off the hook.

The next day, when Madisyn arrived at work, Natural Beauty was already trending on Twitter.

The director of Natural Beauty called her. “Miss Johns, I can’t believe that woman had the audacity to strike you. Do you need me to teach her a lesson?”

“I’ve already taught her a lesson. You don’t have to do anything.”

“Okay, so how should we handle the PR side of things? Should we go ahead and reveal who you are?”

“Not yet. Let’s enjoy the free publicity this brings to Natural Beauty,” Madisyn replied with a subtle smile. Something about her tone made the director uneasy, sensing that Betsey might be in serious trouble.

After Betsey began college, she quickly became a social media influencer. Her stunning appearance, combined with her frequent flaunting of high-end fashion and luxury goods, had drawn a huge following.

She posted about the awful service she experienced at the Natural Beauty store on Twitter: “I’ve always loved Natural Beauty products, so I went to their store to pick up a set today. But during the skincare treatment, a shop assistant hurt me a bit. When I spoke up about it, she turned defensive and started attacking me. What’s worse, the manager didn’t do anything to stop it. Is this how customers are supposed to be treated?” Along with her complaint, she attached a picture of her swollen face, which immediately garnered sympathy from her followers.

“I’ve always been a fan of Natural Beauty products, but I never thought their employees could be so rude. It’s honestly scary. That shop assistant must’ve been one of those unrefined types before getting hired there.”

“Natural Beauty clearly has no standards for hiring. There’s no way I’m stepping foot into their stores again. Who wants to risk getting attacked out of the blue?”

“Someone should call the cops! Why hasn’t she reported this? Letting this slide is only going to fuel Natural Beauty’s arrogance. Natural Beauty, you owe her an apology.”

Outraged consumers united in their support of Betsey, and many internet users, angered by her mistreatment, couldn’t hold back and began bashing Natural Beauty online. Natural Beauty’s sales began to plummet rapidly, and even its stock price suffered as a result of the backlash. Betsey was absolutely thrilled with how things were unfolding. There was no way she believed that shop assistant could stay out of such a chaotic mess. Unless that shop assistant got down on her knees and apologized, she had no intention of deleting that post.

Betsey kept expecting a call from someone at Natural Beauty, but two days passed without a word. With Madisyn’s birthday party just around the corner, she didn’t dwell on it; the party had become her main focus.

Betsey decided to push the whole issue to the back of her mind for now. By six in the evening, she was fully dressed and arrived at the event with Levi by her side. The massive, lavish yacht sparkled against the dark waters, its glowing lights and extravagant design making it stand out like a beacon on the ocean. Betsey stood on the shore, her eyes locked on the yacht, brimming with excitement. It was like a scene pulled straight from a glamorous drama playing out right in front of her. She was finally about to meet her benefactor in person, and if she could secure a solid relationship with her, Betsey knew this would be her golden ticket into high society.

Overflowing with excitement, Betsey pulled out her invitation and confidently stepped aboard the yacht. Once inside, she noticed that everyone aboard was dressed to perfection in their finest suits and gowns. The atmosphere was a far cry from her everyday reality.
