Chapter 2851
"Good heavens, what happened to you?â Aline exclaimed as she noticed the red mark on Madeline's
cheek. âDid someone hit you? And you didn't even bother to treat the wound?â
Aline had a soft heart, especially when it came to injuries. Without hesitation, she reached out to
examine Madeline's face more closely.
Madeline didn't know that Aline was Nolan's mother, and she dodged with irritation. âDonât
touch me.â She said.
Nolan quickly intervened. âMom, this isn't your concern right now. Please, go back home.â
As soon as Madeline realized who Aline was, her eyes lit up and her demeanor instantly changed.
"Oh, so you're Nolan's mother! Well, it's a good thing you're here because I actually wanted to
discuss some matters with Nolan today.â
Aline was curious. âWhat could a young thing like you possibly have to discuss with my Nolan?â And
she called him so familiarly â Aline didnât know her son had a young girl so
close to him.
In fact, Nolan himself didn't quite grasp how Madeline could be so chummy with him. She calling
him by his first name made him quite uncomfortable.
Madeline's smile only brightened at Alineâs suspicion. She stepped forward and looped her arm
through Alineâs. âI suppose you might not know me well, given that Nolan and my sister arent
actually that close. I came here hoping to bridge that gap and introduce my sister to you properly. I
also want to express my opinion that Nolan and she simply aren't a good match.
Marriage is a serious commitment, and if two people don't get along on a fundame level, I fear a
happy ending is unlikely.â

As soon as she finished speaking, Nolan let out a derisive snort. âI suspect you Regina even less than
I do. And what makes you think I'm not aware of your family history? There's no need to discuss this
with my mother here. If there's nothing els like you to leave my office now.
And in the future, please refrain from barging into the Harris Group and causing a sc the lobby it's
quite disruptive to the staff.â
Madeline's face contorted with displeasure as she quickly let go of Aline and approac Nolan with an
air of desperation. âNolan, listen Whatever you think you know about family, isn't it all from Regina's
perspective? She only paints herself in a good light. You have no idea what kind of person she is
manipulative, deceitful, and a master at playing the victim. How else could she have blackmailed
you with that video?
Just by that alone, you should see who she truly is. You won't be happy with her, Nolan. can't just
stand by and watch you walk into a marital trap! Please, reconsider marrying

her, for the sake of your future happiness.â
In the background, Alineâs frown deepened. She clearly didn't approve of Madeline's behavior. She
said, âRegardless, Regina is your sister. It's not right to speak ill of her and your future brother-in-
law behind their backs. If I were you, I'd leave this office right now and be as if none of this ever
happened.â
Nolan looked at his mother in surprise. It was the first time he heard his mom speak with such
sternness to someone else. It seemed she really disapproved of Madeline's tactics.
