Chapter 194:

“Madisyn, you’re really Mr. Johns’s sister? Wow, I knew there was something special about you from the start!” Emeline exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she gazed at Madisyn. “Are you planning to take over Edge Entertainment?”

“That’s right,” Madisyn replied, her smile tinged with determination.

“That’s amazing! With you at the helm, the company is bound to soar to new heights!” Emeline was overjoyed, convinced that Madisyn was far more capable than Kristine had ever been.

Madisyn offered only a faint smile in response. Meanwhile, Liza and her group were drowning in their own regret, quickly putting all the blame on Teresa. They knew they had to confront her.

Just as Liza was about to ascend the stairs in search of Teresa, she appeared, descending down. Teresa had been hiding in her room since her return, paralyzed by the fear of Liza and the others confronting her. However, the silence was too much to bear, and finally, she ventured downstairs, only to find everyone assembled in the living room.

The moment Liza’s eyes locked onto Teresa, they blazed with fury. She lunged forward, seizing Teresa by the hair and dragging her down the stairs. Teresa gasped in pain and shoved Liza away. “Are you insane?”

“You deceitful bitch! How dare you play us for fools!” Liza bellowed, her voice thick with anger. If not for Teresa’s deceit, Liza would never have crossed Madisyn.

Teresa sneered, “Oh please, do you think I wanted to deceive you? You were the ones who crowned me Mr. Johns’s sister!”

Witnessing Teresa’s unapologetic demeanor and her audacious defiance left everyone in the room utterly dumbfounded.

“Damn you!” Liza pointed at her, her chest heaving with anger. “You wretch! How can you stand there, thinking you did nothing wrong?”

“If you weren’t so desperate to cozy up to the powerful, how could you have been so easily deceived?” Teresa retorted, her conviction that she was not in the wrong only strengthening. She stood tall, her eyes burning with disdain as she faced the group of dupes across from her. “Now that you’ve been fooled, you blame me? As far as I remember, I’ve done nothing directly to you. In fact, I’ve provided you with plenty of benefits. What right do you have to accuse me?”

Liza was seething with rage. “If it weren’t for your deception, how could we have possibly offended Mr. Johns’s real sister? Teresa, how dare you try to justify your actions!”

“Mr. Johns’s real sister?” Teresa couldn’t help but laugh, disbelief coloring her tone. “Do you seriously think Mr. Johns’s real sister would work in this department? That’s hilarious! With all that wealth, she’d be living the high life, not slaving away here. She’s never been here, or else I couldn’t have kept up the act for so long.” Teresa was resolute in her logic, convinced that Mr. Johns’s real sister would never stoop to work at the grassroots level.

Yet, as she spoke, the others gazed at her as if she were the fool, causing Teresa’s confidence to waver.

Emeline scoffed, a wry smile curving her lips. “Well, that’s because Mr. Johns’s real sister prefers to keep a low profile. Madisyn is nothing like you—someone who revels solely in ostentation.”

“Madisyn?” Teresa turned to look at Madisyn, a puzzled expression marring her features.

Liza clenched her teeth, her frustration palpable. “That’s right! Madisyn is Mr. Johns’s real sister!”

A brief pause ensued before Teresa erupted into laughter. “This is absolutely ludicrous! First, you were fooled by my charade, and now you’re tricked by Madisyn’s supposed claim!” Her laughter turned into a cacophony as she turned to Madisyn. “What’s this? You saw me masquerading as Mr. Johns’s real sister, reaping all the benefits, and thought you’d try your hand at it too?”

Throughout this exchange, Madisyn maintained her composure. Her beautiful face was a mask of serene detachment, her eyes glacial as they met Teresa’s gaze. “Teresa, enough!” Liza’s voice cut through the mirth like a knife. “Do you really think everyone is as deceitful as you? We’ve just come from a meeting with Mr. Johns, who personally said Madisyn is his sister.”

Yet, Teresa remained incredulous, her laughter tinged with scorn. “His sister? Surely you are joking. She must be his lover, right? It seems Madisyn has truly cast a spell over Dane.”

“You are so hopeless!” Liza was speechless.

Teresa snorted disdainfully. “Stop being such fools. Madisyn is merely a farmer’s daughter. There’s absolutely no way she could be Mr. Johns’s real sister!”
