They did not expect Madeline to retort like this. Daniel's mother, who was pretending to be calm and collected,
could not hold back her emotions all of a sudden.
However, even though Daniel's mother was angry, she still knew that she could not fight head-on with Madeline.
Although the Grahams also were a big family and had a big business, the Whitmans and the Montgomeries were
now bound by marriage. It would not do her any good to offend Madeline. Therefore, she just rolled her eyes at
Ava.
“Ava, are you so desperate to marry into a wealthy family? There are so many good men in the world, so why do
you have to insist on being with Dan? I've already told you so clearly. Why won't you listen tome?” |
Daniel's mother glared at Ava furiously, her tone getting more and more aggressive.
“Listen to me. ] only compromised and agreed with your and Dan’s relationship at the time for
Dan’s sake. I had no idea that such a thing would happen to him not long after I gave my agreement. I got
someone to check your star signs and you two are just not meant to be. If you two continue to be together, Dan will
suffer even worse things in the future!”

Daniel's mother suddenly started talking about star signs, but Madeline knew that it was all an excuse.
She wanted to speak up for Ava, but at this moment, Ava held Madeline's hand very calmly.
She was also showing a slight smile, which did not seem forced at all. It looked as though it came from the heart.
“Maddie, I suddenly feel a little hungry. Why don’t you accompany me to eat something?” The meaning of Ava's
words was obvious. She did not want to argue anymore and just wanted to leave. Madeline respected Ava’s wishes,
so she picked up her bag and turned around with Ava to leave.
“Wait.”
Naya suddenly stopped them.
Madeline and Ava paused, while Naya stepped forward.
They thought she wanted to look for trouble with Ava, but Naya walked up to Madeline instead.
“Mrs. Whitman, you truly are something else. In order to help your good friend, you have targeted me again and
again. You even set up a trap to frame me. Now, you’re pointing at me and calling me a cruel and despicable
woman. Eveline, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the
Whitmans and Montgomeries? Let me tell you, I won't be afraid of you. I must sue you this time for ruining my
reputation!”
Madeline smiled gracefully and calmly when she saw Naya's dignified and upright appearance.
“Okay, sue me if you want. I'll be waiting for your lawyer's letter.”
“Just you wait!” Naya seemed to say that through gritted teeth.
Madeline glanced at Naya indifferently before taking Ava's hand and leaving together.
Naya stared at Madeline's back in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly. Then, she turned around and put on a gentle
demeanor to please Daniel's mother.
After leaving the hospital, Madeline asked Ava about the situation. Ava knew that Madeline would have doubts, so
she quickly explained herself. 2
“Maddie, you want to ask me why I’m leaving just like this, right? You want to ask why I’m letting Dan's mother and
Naya defame my relationship with Dan?”

Ava said and raised a relieved smile.
“Actually, I didn’t consider much. I just want Dan to rest and recover quickly.”
Ava's explanation touched Madeline quite a bit. This was how a person who truly loved someone would act.
As long as the other party was alright, nothing else mattered.
Madeline understood this feeling too well, so she did not say anything.
However, Ava was a little worried. “Maddie, Naya just said that she’s going to sue you. You have to be careful.”
Madeline nodded. “Don't worry. She can't do anything to me.”
She smiled and did not take it to heart at all, but three days later, Madeline really received a lawyer's letter.
