Chapter 123
Chapter 123:
It would be money down the drain. Madilyn probably wanted to take advantage of Greyson even before getting married to him.
Rachel concealed the disdain she felt.
In the end, Rachel decided to change the topic. “Have you heard? The wife of the Yamonia embassy has sent us an invitation for her upcoming birthday party. I’d love for you to accompany me. It’s the perfect opportunity to rub elbows with the elite. You should broaden your social circle in high society.”
“Is Candice going to be there?” Madilyn inquired, her brows furrowed.
“Greyson will be there, so I’m sure Candice won’t miss it,” Rachel responded confidently. “After all, they didn’t announce their divorce to the public.”
With dissatisfaction etched on her face, Madilyn bit her lip before saying, “To be honest, I thought Greyson wouldn’t come back when he went to his apartment downtown. I heard he packed some clothes and belongings before going there.”
“Don’t worry. He came back when you called, right?” Rachel reassured her.
Madilyn furrowed her brow in thought and whispered in Rachel’s ear, “Aunt Rachel, I’ve got an idea! Let’s use the birthday party to our advantage and get rid of her baby. Then we can spread the news!”
“Do you have a plan?” Rachel inquired eagerly.
“I sure do,” Madilyn replied with a sly smile.
As she listened, Rachel nodded frequently.
It was always a great feeling to accomplish two tasks with a single action.
Madilyn couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, fully aware of Rachel’s impatience caused by Greyson’s growing success.
Rachel had her sights set on dominating Greyson and the Harman family.
Candice was the first obstacle that needed to be removed. Madilyn and Rachel spent some time in deep discussion, hatching a scheme.
Finally, Madilyn gently prodded Rachel and suggested, “Aunt Rachel, it’s best if you leave now. Greyson will be here to remove my needle soon.”
“Sure,” Rachel agreed, standing up and exiting the room. After Rachel departed, Madilyn pretended to be asleep. She intentionally lowered her quilt and unbuttoned her collar, exposing a sizable portion of her skin.
With her long legs in the air, she turned over and slept, exuding an irresistible allure.
Men were bound to fall for her the moment they laid eyes on her.
The temptation was simply too great to resist.
As anticipated, Greyson walked in and helped her remove the needle from her arm.
Seeing her exposed skin, he furrowed his brow and averted his gaze.
After tucking her in, he switched off the lights and left the room.
The moment he was gone and the door closed behind him, Madilyn abruptly sat up in bed. In the darkness, she opened her eyes wide, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.
