Chapter 952:

Madisyn caught the fleeting glance between them. She observed Luka’s demeanor, noticing how his emotions slowly became more controlled. After removing the needle and helping him to a quiet spot to sit, Madisyn turned her attention to the woman.

Before the woman could speak, Madisyn warned, “I don’t know how you managed to sneak into this event, but you need to think carefully. Are the Calderon and Johns families really the ones you want to offend? And if your lies are exposed, do you believe your instigator has the power to shield you?”

Madisyn’s thorough once-over made the woman’s ordinariness stark. She had been hit by Vienna and now, under Madisyn’s intense scrutiny, her composure completely broke down.

Evita’s disdain for Madisyn’s arrogance was palpable. She saw an opportunity to escalate the situation.

“Miss Johns, perhaps this family matter is best handled in private. Marcus is highly respected in our industry for his designs, and causing a scene here isn’t appropriate.” Her words sparked agreement among the others.

“That’s right. We’re here to meet talented designers, not watch personal conflicts unfold. Mr. Calderon, aren’t there more private places for such behaviors?”

“My initial thoughts of Timeless Elegance were quite positive, but its boss…” another added, shaking his head in clear disapproval of Luka’s actions.

Vienna stood firm, strongly defending her husband against the guests’ misconceptions about him. “I have complete faith in my husband. The incident tonight has to be a setup by this woman against him.” Yet, the crowd was swayed by what they had witnessed.

As Vienna made her claim, they viewed her with pity. “Who would have imagined Vienna is so naive in her romantic ideals?” “Her husband clearly cheated on her, and still, she defends him.” “All this chaos, and Mr. Calderon remains silent; it’s always Vienna who speaks up. Surely, this isn’t the first time.”

As the whispers grew louder, the staff member who had gone to fetch Marcus returned. Marcus arrived with his assistant, his blue eyes wide with bewilderment. “What in the world has happened here?” Marcus inquired, surveying the scene. He gazed across the disorderly lounge until his eyes landed on Luka and Madisyn.

To his left stood Evita, who brightened up upon hearing his question. “Mr. Vaughn, I came to the lounge to change my outfit. Imagine how shocked I was when I opened the door and stumbled upon Mr. Calderon on a secret date with his lover.” Her expression was one of confusion, her cheeks tinged with red. She then turned, showing Marcus the side of her face that had been struck.

“This gathering is important since it was your idea, so I suggested Ms. Hobbes handle the matter quietly. Unfortunately, she refused, and I got caught up in the situation. I had no choice but to come to you for help.”

Upon hearing Evita’s version of events, Marcus observed the others at the scene, who confirmed her story with nods. “Yes, Evita’s story lines up perfectly with what happened.”

“Mr. Vaughn, I’ve already heard rumors about Mr. Calderon’s scandalous behavior before. What he did today was truly disrespectful to you!”
