Chapter 58

Neville pursed his thin lips. ‘As expected, it was the same trick as before. First, she would make a fuss before backing down and trying to make peace with me.’ He thought.

All these years, Neville was tired of this and wondered why Madison had not thought of something new.

However, since Madison had tried so hard to give him a way out, Neville was ready to reluctantly accept it.

Just as Neville was about to return the call, he suddenly remembered that Madison had blocked his number, so he sn a t c h e d Bernard’s phone.

Just as Neville was thinking about what tone to use to accept Madison’s ‘ulterior motive’, Madison’s voice came through the phone. “Mr. Peay, please tell Mr. Preston I posted the divorce certificate to prove my innocence. I don’t have any other intentions. Please ask him not to misunderstand.”

Neville’s voice was suddenly stuck in his throat, and his expression was terrifyingly cold.

“Mr. Peay, can you hear me?” Madison asked.

Neville hung up the phone. The pressure in the car felt terrifyingly low.

Bernard had heard everything. Stubbornly, he said, “Maybe… maybe Miss Guzman is playing hard to get.”

Before Neville could flare up, Ryan called.

“Neville, seriously. To save the damsel in distress, you left the entire mess in Croginia to me. However, I’m afraid you’re a step too late. She didn’t plan to give you a chance at all. She directly posted the divorce certificate Amazing!”

Neville felt even worse, wondering what kind of horrible friends he had that would s c a t t e r salt on his wounds.

“Ryan, do you think I’m the type to meddle in other people’s business?” Neville asked.

“Oh, if it’s not for your ex-wife, why did you abandon the project and return home alone?” Ryan asked.

Neville suppressed his anger and said, “Something happened at home.”

“What happened at home? Could it be more important than this project which is worth billions of dollars?” Ryan asked.

Neville became more and more frustrated. He did not want to say another word to Ryan and immediately hung up.

Seeing his gloomy face, Bernard was so frightened that he held his breath and asked tentatively, “So…

how do you plan to respond to Miss Guzman?”

Bernard could tell that Madison did not intend to reconcile with Neville. After all, once the divorce certificate was posted, it signified a clean break without turning back.

Previously, Bernard had imagined Madison trying all means to get back together with Neville. Now, it seemed that he was wrong.

Bernard understood this logic, so of course, Neville did as well.

Neville felt as if a fire was burning within him. It was similar to losing a pet he kept for a long time.

Neville vented all his anger on Bernard. “Get out!”

Bernard was thrown out of the car. Bernard looked at the car as it drove away and could not help but feel aggrieved. “How can I be blamed for this? If he didn’t think this way, no matter what I said, he wouldn’t have believed me either.’ Bernard thought.

After Neville rolled down the window, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked. The smoke made his handsome face look even gloomier.

‘I wanted to give her another chance, but she doesn’t know what’s good for her. Fine, then there’s no need for me to help her. Many women would jump at this chance. I don’t need her.’ Neville thought.

After putting out the cigarette, Neville logged in to his official account and posted a tweet, [Divorced. No intention of remarrying. Please do not disturb.]

As soon as it was posted on Twitter, it was immediately reposted by various influencers, triggering a new round of discussions.

Hazel could not wait to share this news with Madison. “Neville sure is c o c k y. He looks like he’s explaining, but in fact, he hasn’t explained anything.”

Madison curled her lips up in a smile. “He uploaded this statement for me to see. In other words, he won’t go. back on his decision, and he’s asking me not to disturb him.”

Hazel immediately cursed. “F u c k, where does he get his confidence from? He hurt you so badly.

Even if he repents and comes to you for forgiveness, you might not even look at him.”

A dark light flashed across Madison’s eyes. ‘This is good, too. Now, we can draw a clear line between us and have nothing more to do with each other.’ Madison thought.

A moment later, Alison sent a gloating message, [Madison, as you can see, Neville doesn’t care about you, so don’t waste your time on him. Ultimately, I’m the only one who will become Mrs. Preston. If you’re smart, you will do as I say immediately. If I’m in a good mood, I can provide Loveille with more benefits.]

The corners of Madison’s lips twitched. As expected, Alison would not let go of every opportunity to hurt her. Unfortunately, Madison no longer cared, and such matters could no longer hurt her.

Soon, a notification came from Madison’s phone. It was a notification that Alison had transferred her 200 thousand dollars.

Hazel took a look and could not help but tease, “Miss Guzman, your business is doing well. You can earn 200 thousand dollars in a mere minute.”

Madison pursed her lips. “This wasn’t easy. Not only does the other party want me to be a scapegoat, but they also want to take advantage of my misfortune.”

As expected, Alison immediately sent the statement she had written.

Madison only took a glance, and her beautiful face was covered with a trace of coldness.

In the statement, Alison’s every word complimented her relationship with Neville, making Madison seem like she acknowledged herself as a third party who had come between Alison and Neville. Rather than a statement, it felt like an apology letter.

If Madison really posted this statement, she knew she would be eaten alive by the netizens, and her own morality would be shattered.

‘Alison thinks I’m someone who would degrade myself for some money?’ Madison thought.

Madison posted the statement online, along with a screenshot of the message that Alison had sent her.

Alison was mediately scolded even more fiercely by the netizens.

“Oh my g o d, Miss Conner is such a bi tc h. She’s the third party and still coerced the other party to help her clear her name. Does she think she’s the Queen? Why must everyone must listen to her?”

“Although I don’t know what happened back then, from Miss Conner’s actions, there’s no limit to what she’s capable of. Even if she gets someone to take the blame for her, she doesn’t forget to tr a m p l e on them. She’s simply a b it c h.”

“Isn’t this an admission that she’s a mistress who interfered in someone else’s marriage? Dog poop is still dog poop even if the smell is gone.”

Not only was Alison scolded by the entire Internet, but even the shares of the Conner Group were affected. Alison’s father, Isaac Conner, scolded her directly and harshly, ordering her to settle this matter within three days. Isaac warned Alison that if she wasn’t able to resolve this matter, she would get none of the Conner Group’s shares.

Alison suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot. She wanted to call Madison and scold her, but she was worried that Madison would record the conversation, so she could only suppress her anger Alison would never willingly apologize to Madison.

Alison felt that the most important thing to do now was to divert the attention of the netizens.

After Alison calmed down, she told Anna, “Bribe a few accounts with a large following and ask them to release! more photos of Madison leaving with the owner of the Koenigsegg. Also, ask them to find out more about her affair with Ross Castro.”

Alison felt that once it was revealed that Madison had had an affair and that she was a money-grubber, the situation would get better. After all, there was no reason to pity a woman who sold herself for money.

Even so, Alison felt that she had not done enough. As such, she called the Guzman family.

That night, Madison received a call from Lily asking her to return to the Guzman residence for lunch the next day.

Hazel could not help but remind Madison, “It’s better if you don’t go. It can’t be anything good.”
