Chapter 201:

“It’s you, Madisyn! Shame on you!” Jenna blurted out in disgust. “How could you pretend to be the vice president!”

Gilbert was visibly irritated, too. His earlier humble remarks had been heard by Madisyn. “Madisyn, if Mr. Johns finds out, you’ll be fired. You are too bold. I have to inform Mr. Johns!”

“Humph!” Madisyn scoffed.

Just then, the assistant entered to serve coffee. Seizing the moment, Gilbert said, “Madisyn is impersonating your vice president. She has crossed the line!”

The assistant glanced at Madisyn, pausing in surprise and then said, “This is our vice president!”

His statement left Gilbert and Jenna shocked. It wasn’t until he had exited that they regained their composure. Jenna pieced it together. “Madisyn, it looks like you’re very close to Dane. He even made you vice president at the headquarters! What about you? Aren’t you embarrassed? Do you think you really merit being the vice president at headquarters?”

“If I don’t deserve it, do you think you do?” Madisyn retorted with a slight smile. “Besides, I’m close to Dane because I am his sister…”

However, Jenna pulled out her phone and interrupted Madisyn, saying, “Madisyn, I suggest you handle the public opinion crisis online first. You’ve become a target for public criticism!”

With concern, Madisyn took out her phone. She wanted to see what Jenna was referring to.

Indeed, Madisyn’s name was trending.

“Madisyn Johns, an unfilial daughter.”

“Madisyn Johns is malicious.”

“Madisyn Johns, go to hell.”

Everyone was hurling insults at Madisyn. But why were they calling her an unfilial daughter?

Madisyn scowled and tapped on a news article. It read, “Here are photos of two villagers, simple farmers, who have hit hard times. Recently, the man was diagnosed with cancer, and now they can’t afford the needed surgery because they lack funds. Their only daughter, previously known as Madisyn Chapman and now Madisyn Johns, has distanced herself from them due to her inability to accept her humble origins. She has ceased all contact with them and ignored their plight. I hope this article reaches Madisyn, reminding her that her father is dying. They may be poor, but they love her deeply. She should step up and help her father!” The photos of two elderly people were attached.

They were typical villagers, their skin sallow and weathered. They were Jenna’s former parents, Aidyn and Sherlyn. Aidyn looked particularly frail, his illness having cost him most of his hair and much of his former vitality. Sherlyn appeared even more gaunt, her eyes deeply sunken and surrounded by wrinkles. They were in their fifties, yet they appeared to be in their seventies. Both looked exceedingly worn and fragile.

Madisyn, though an outsider, couldn’t help but feel pity for them.

“Madisyn, you sit here enjoying your wealthy life, completely ignoring your parents back in the village,” Jenna said, looking at Madisyn with a sneer. “You are so heartless.”

Narrowing her eyes, Madisyn realized Jenna didn’t yet know her true identity.

“Jenna, those are your former parents. Don’t you care about them at all?” Madisyn asked coldly.

“I have my own parents now, and they have you. I don’t feel it’s my place to intervene,” Jenna replied arrogantly, showing no concern whatsoever.

This confirmed for Madisyn just how callous Jenna could be. “‘Jenna, your former parents may be poor, but they never neglected you, did they? Otherwise, how could you have afforded dance lessons? Now that you’re back with the Chapman family, how can you dismiss your former parents so coldly? You are so cruel!”

“I’m cruel?” Jenna laughed off the accusation, saying, “Madisyn, they are your parents. You neglect them and then call me cruel. That’s ridiculous!”

“I suggest you go back and look after your former parents. Don’t leave yourself with regrets,” Madisyn added sternly. “Also, the Johns Group will no longer work with you. Stop dreaming. The reason I agreed to meet you today was to make this clear. If you keep bothering the Johns Group, don’t blame me for taking harsh measures!”

“You—” Jenna was seething with anger, yet she felt powerless.

Jenna and Gilbert were soon expelled from the Johns Group. In her frustration, Jenna stomped her foot. Gilbert then asked, “Jenna, aren’t you going to visit your former parents?”

Upon hearing this, Jenna quickly responded, “Gilbert, it’s not that I don’t want to see them. I’m doing this for their good. Since Madisyn left the Chapman family, she hasn’t returned home. This time, I must make her go back and look after her parents.”

“I see.” Gilbert nodded, understanding that Jenna wasn’t heartless. She was acting out of concern for her former parents. As he reflected on this, his expression turned to one of disdain. “I can’t believe Madisyn is so self-centered. Her father is on his deathbed, and she remains so cold, just focusing on charming men.”

“Well, she’s accustomed to the luxuries of a wealthy family. Obviously, she’s reluctant to return to a rural life. But this time, I’ll ensure Madisyn recognizes her errors,” Jenna said with a confident smile.

After their departure, Madisyn discussed the incident with Dane. With her in the Johns Group, Gilbert and Jenna wouldn’t dare come back.

“Great,” Dane replied, having also seen the online news. “Is that farmer in the hospital now?”
