Chapter 4

As Madison pushed open the door, she saw Alison almost stumbling to her knees, but her eyes revealed excitement.

Obviously. Alison had just overheard the conversation between Madison and Neville.

Madison sneered, “Seems you don’t mind picking up someone else’s leftovers, regardless of how sickening it might seem. Admirable, really.”

Alison sensed Madison’s discomfort and smiled, replying. “Rest assured, Miss Guzman, I’ll be sure to take good care of Neville. I appreciate your generosity.”

Madison gestured for her to come closer.

Since they were in the Preston Group, Alison didn’t think Madison dared to create a scene and stepped closer.

Madison whispered mockingly into Alison’s car, “Here’s a little secret for you. Underneath all that exterior prowess, Neville is quite a let–down in bed.”

Neville often left her exhausted, showing little concern for her pleasure and putting his own satisfaction first.

Alison didn’t expect Madison to reveal something about s** and was stunned for a moment.

Seemingly surprised, Madison covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Oh, really? You didn’t know? It appears that you’ve spent quite a lot of time with him without any physical intimacy. When a man lacks desire in a woman, it’s either she lacks appeal, or he views her as something less than a woman.”

Suddenly switching to a sympathetic tone, Madison continued, “Miss Conner, you are so pitiful.”

Stung by Madison’s words, Alison felt a pang in her heart and clenched her fists Seeing Alison’s distressed expression, Madison chuckled. “Remember, Neville is someone I don’t want. You only get my scraps.

Alison turned pale, and Neville’s face became even more menacing. An unsettling tension filled Lu]

Bernard’s hand waver while holding documents.

Neville’s face darkened as he said, “What did she just say?”

I’m someone she doesn’t want? Has she gone mad?‘ he thought, the office room, making * Neville grew increasingly uncomfortable. He disliked Madison’s current demeanor and particularly detested her remarks about not wanting him.

It should be him who didn’t want her.

Bernard, seeing Neville’s dark expression, didn’t dare to speak, afraid of hitting a nerve.

However, Madison was indeed different today. Previously, she was gentle, but today she was sharp and aggressive.

Alison’s lips curved with a triumphant smile. She deliberately provoked Madison.

Neville’s pride was easily wounded, and such words naturally stirred his anger. When Alison went in later, she would embellish the details, further fueling Neville’s dislike toward Madison.

After calming herself down, Alison entered the office. Her eyes, slightly reddened, carried a hint of grievance. She said. “Neville, I accidentally encountered Miss Guzman just now, I didn’t mean to pick a fight.”

Neville raised his cold eyes, looking at her meaningfully, and said, “Don’t provoke her. It does you no good.”

Alison thought he was caring for her and showed a shy smile.

When she left, her gaze fell on the divorce agreement, and a faint smugness appeared on her lips.

Alison thought she won.

After leaving the office, Alison sent a message to Regina. [Regina, did Neville have a quarrel with Miss Guzman? Why did he sign the divorce agreement? Should I talk to him?]

Regina didn’t pay much heed to the message, dismissing it as another outburst. After all, she believed that Madison was willing to go to great lengths for Neville, and she admired Alison for being considerate enough not to interfere in someone else’s marriage.

Regina believed that only a woman of such nobility was deserving of her son.

Regina: [Don’t bother with that b*tch. Let her make a scene. I hope Neville dumps her soon and marries you.]

Alison felt relieved, and in her excitement, she sent a message to Madison. [Miss Guzman, did you like the gift I sent you last night?]

Madison, upon seeing the message, understood everything.

It was Alison who sent the photos of Madison and Ross to Neville.

Since Madison and Neville had tied the knot, Alison had engaged in numerous schemes, skillfully manipulating others to further her own objectives Yet, Madison felt Alison’s tactics were unneeded. Neville would still hold disdain for her even if nobody interfered.

Madison had tolerated it for Neville’s sake, but now, she decided to fight back. [Wishing you and Neville, a b*tch and jerk, a long–lasting relationship.]

Although Alison felt infuriated, the prospect of becoming Neville’s wife compelled her to suppress her anger, Just wait and see. The day my dream comes true will be your hour of doom, Alison thought Madison returned to her villa in the southern suburbs with her suitcase.

Madison had meticulously prepared this villa as a birthday gift for Neville. The interior was adorned in the sleek, cool style” he favored, featuring dominant black and white tones. In the fading twilight, the vacant villa felt desolate.

te had loved Neville for a decade, and she knew she would endure intense anguish when the time came to let go.

As she entered the villa, Madison sank to the floor, clutching her chest. Tears streamed down her face, and a tidal wave of emotions crashed over her, threatening to engulf her entirely.

The pain was unbearable.

In her youth, she ate the candy from Neville, imprinting this man along with the sweetness in her heart.

At sixteen, she was pushed into the pool by Ramona Austin, and Neville, like a hero, saved her from the brink of death.

At the age of twenty, Neville fell critically ill, and Madison selflessly donated her kidney to save his life.

In line with her hopes, they eventually got married. Madison acknowledged her own flaws and admitted her past manipulations, but she held onto the belief that Neville would come to recognize her goodness.

However, after his recovery, Neville transformed into someone she failed to recognize–cold, unforgiving, hell–bent on belittling her at every opportunity.

Now, at the age of twenty–three, Madison finally grasped the painful truth: Neville had never truly cherished her. With her dignity hanging by a thread, she resolved to bring an end to this marriage and safeguard what little remained of her self-

worth.

2 May After calming her emotions, Madison called her secretary Margaret Flowers. “Demolish Whitemarsh Chateau and renovate it‘

She wanted to destroy anything related to Neville.

That night, after Neville finished dealing with company affairs, he returned to the mansion in the early morning In the past, whenever he promised to come home, regardless of how late, a hot meal would invariably await him in the kitchen, and lights would flicker in their bedroom. The moment he stepped into the living room, a woman would tenderly present him with slippers.

But now, he was greeted by an empty living room, dimly lit.

Madison’s abnormal behavior made him inexplicably annoyed, and his mood became restless.

He thought. ‘Is she silently resisting me now? I have only been a bit late today, yet she’s already throwing a tantrum. Does she have to do so? I didn’t delve into the issue regarding her and Ross. I hurried back after handling official business. I’m nice enough to her. What else does she want?”

Neville couldn’t suppress his restlessness, and his temples throbbed rapidly as he took quick steps toward the bedroom, kicking the door open. “Madison, come out!” he shouted.
