Chapter 503

Chapter 503:

“I didn’t think you’d be this good. What happened earlier? You weren’t anywhere near this level,” Wesley said, sounding both impressed and a little uneasy.

“I wasn’t playing seriously at the start, but since you all insisted I give my best, this is what happens when I actually play,” Madisyn gave a casual shrug. Though her words were cocky, they weren’t annoying—her skills backed them up.

The group couldn’t help but give Madisyn a round of applause.

Jada glanced down at her phone and realized she was out of money. She still needed to promote her company, and it hit her hard. She had hoped to use tonight’s winnings to help boost its image, but now she was left wondering where she’d scrape together more funds.

As midnight approached, the birthday party finally came to a close. The yacht gradually docked, and one by one, the guests began to step off.

Jada and Wesley walked together as they overheard two people ahead of them laughing and chatting.

“If Madisyn hadn’t called her out, I never would’ve caught how layered Jada’s words were. She acted like she was patching things up, but really, she was making it seem like Madisyn had no skills,”

“Exactly! It takes me back to that other time; Jada was totally scheming back then too.”

“We’d better steer clear of her from now on, or we might end up in trouble without even realizing it.”

Jada’s face went pale. Once the center of envy and admiration, she now felt like an outcast, with whispers and gossip swirling around her.

“What are you talking about? If you keep this up, you’ll regret it!” Wesley stormed over, glaring at the two and scolding them fiercely.

The pair, startled, clung to each other and quickly made their escape.

Seeing Jada’s distress, Wesley hurried to comfort her. “Jada, don’t let their nonsense get to you. They’re Madisyn’s friends, and naturally, they won’t have a high opinion of you. They’re just jealous, that’s all.”

“Thanks, Wesley. No matter what, you’re always here for me.” Jada was touched by his support.

Wesley scratched his head with a laugh, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Oh, and by the way, the racing competition is coming up in less than two months. If you’ve got the time, let’s squeeze in some more practice.”

“Definitely! I’ll reach out when I have some free time,” Jada replied with a warm smile.

Madisyn, Andrew, and her family were the last to leave. Suddenly, a sound echoed from above. Madisyn turned to see fireworks lighting up the dark blue sky like a dazzling curtain. The colorful bursts gradually formed a message: “Madisyn, Happy Birthday.”

Madisyn covered her mouth in astonishment, gazing at Andrew and her family.

“Happy birthday, my dear. May you continue to grow even more beautiful and remain confident,” Elaine smiled warmly, offering her blessings.

Glenn’s eyes softened with love as he said, “Happy birthday, my precious daughter.”

Dane grinned. “Madisyn, happy birthday! We’re so grateful you’ve come back and made our family whole again.” He added, “Madisyn, you won’t have to chase after happiness anymore. We’ll be with you every day, sharing countless birthdays together and all your joys and sorrows.”

Dane glanced at his brother, feeling a bit overshadowed by his touching speech.

Waylon flashed a warm smile and said, “Madisyn, I promise I’ll make plenty of money for you in the future. Feel free to spend however you like. Just make sure you’re happy every single day.”

As she listened to their heartfelt blessings, tears welled up in Madisyn’s eyes.

Andrew’s eyes shone with particular tenderness in the moonlight. His voice was soft and refined as he said, “From now on, may your days be filled with joy and free from pain. Happy birthday, Madisyn. I look forward to spending my life with you.”

“Thank you all so much. Having each of you here is my greatest joy,” Madisyn said, her voice choked with emotion as she wiped away her tears.

“Let’s head back now. It’s been a long day for you. You should see what gifts you’ve received,” Elaine said with a warm smile.

The gifts had been sent to Madisyn’s villa by her assistant. Once home, Madisyn began unwrapping them in the living room, with Andrew right beside her. “I’ve gotten so many gifts in my past,” she said with amazement. She had never celebrated her birthday before and never imagined receiving so many presents all at once.

Andrew gazed at her with a soft, tender expression, his fingers gently running through her hair. There was a trace of sadness in his eyes as he spoke, “From now on, you’ll receive this many gifts for every birthday.”

“That makes me incredibly happy,” Madisyn replied, smiling brightly.

It took her over an hour just to unwrap all the gifts from others. After carefully setting them aside, she began to open the presents from her family and Andrew.

Her mother had gifted her a collection of lavish cosmetics and a custom-made dress.

Her father had given her a new house and a sleek car. Dane’s gift was a small business—a token of his confidence in her ability to thrive and innovate. Howard had surprised her with a high-tech robot. Waylon’s gift was a credit card and a collection of celebrity autographs, their value potentially reaching millions.

Every gift was distinctive in its own way. At last, she turned her attention to Andrew’s present.

Inside was a set of exquisite jewelry and a breathtaking ring. The simple white band ring gleamed beautifully from every angle.

“I made this myself. Try it and see if it fits,” he said, his gaze exceptionally tender.

Madisyn placed the ring in his hand, and Andrew was momentarily taken aback. Was she not pleased with it?
