Chapter 233:

The following morning, as Madisyn entered her office, she discovered a bouquet of flowers waiting for her on her desk. As she picked them up, she noticed a card pinned to the bouquet.

“Surprise! Wishing the lovely Miss Johns a fantastic day!”

The card wasn’t signed, but Madisyn immediately knew it was from Maxine. A soft smile appeared on her face.

At that moment, Andrew called her out of the blue. When she answered the video call, his gaze became intense as he noticed the flowers she was holding.

“Who gave you that bouquet?” he asked.

“Take a guess,” Madisyn playfully replied with a wink.

Andrew’s handsome but serious face revealed a hint of jealousy. “Was it from a guy?”

“Try again,” Madisyn responded with a teasing tone.

Andrew pursed his lips, considering. “It must be a woman, then. Was it Maxine?”

He guessed right.

Madisyn was taken aback. “You’re starting to creep me out a bit.”

“How so?” Andrew asked, feigning innocence.

“It’s a bit unnerving how well you can guess these things.” Madisyn was aware of Andrew’s intelligence, but she hadn’t anticipated him being this perceptive.

Andrew’s expression softened into a slight smile. “It wasn’t too difficult to deduce, given the trending news from yesterday.”

“I didn’t expect you to follow the trending news,” Madisyn said with a laugh.

“I do. Sometimes there’s crucial information to be found,” Andrew answered.

Madisyn smiled. “But why did you look so intense at first? You really scared me.”

“I’d have a problem if someone was already chasing after my girl as soon as she joined the company,” Andrew said, his voice low.

Madisyn’s face softened. “Don’t worry, you’re the only one for me.”

“And you’re the only one for me,” Andrew replied, his tone sincere.

They chatted a bit longer before ending the call. Just then, Madisyn’s assistant came in to remind her, “Miss Johns, it’s time for your meeting.”

“Got it,” she said as she set the flowers aside. The primary focus of the meeting was still the partnership with Homelight Enterprise.

After the meeting, Madisyn got ready to head to Homelight Enterprise, but received a call from Jared.

“Boss, are you planning to discuss a collaboration with our company? I saw your appointment. How about I come to your office instead?”

“There’s no need. I’ll come over,” Madisyn responded calmly.

“Okay, boss,” Jared replied with respect.

Anyone observing this scene would have been amazed to see the CEO of Homelight Enterprise showing such humility.

As Madisyn arrived at the headquarters of Homelight Enterprise and was about to head upstairs, she saw some familiar faces.

“Dad, don’t worry. They helped us in the past, so there must be something valuable to them in our company. Let’s approach Mr. Cooper with sincerity. I’m sure he’ll give us a chance,” Jenna said, trying to comfort Jeffry, who was nervously wiping sweat from his brow. Homelight Enterprise was now his last hope, and it was understandable that he was anxious.

“Let’s go in,” Jeffry said.

When they looked up, they spotted Madisyn, and their expressions quickly shifted.

Ever since the news came out that Madisyn was a member of the Johns family, the Chapman Group had been struggling, inching closer to bankruptcy. Determined to prevent the collapse, Jeffry had turned to Homelight Enterprise, hoping to revive their old partnership.

They hadn’t expected to encounter Madisyn in this place.

Jenna’s eyes blazed with anger. If not for Madisyn, she wouldn’t have suffered such a downfall. She had finally achieved the status of a wealthy heiress, but now she was on the verge of losing everything.

“Madisyn, are you happy now?” Jenna snapped, her voice dripping with bitterness.

Madisyn kept her composure. “What could I possibly be happy about?”

“Isn’t this what you wanted all along? Watching the Chapman family crumble day by day? You must be laughing behind our backs, seeing us on the brink of bankruptcy!” Jenna continued, her voice filled with resentment.

Jeffry looked at Madisyn with deep disappointment. “Madisyn, even though our family hasn’t always been kind to you, we did offer you a place to stay. Are you really going to just watch us fall apart without a second thought? How can you be okay with that?”

Madisyn responded with a quiet, soft laugh before stepping into the elevator. Jeffry and Jenna followed her, and they all rode up to the top floor together. The ride in the elevator was tense, the silence heavy with unspoken emotions.

Jenna eventually spoke up. “Did you know Mr. Cooper was our biggest partner? We only understood Homelight Enterprise’s power after arriving in Ansport. We’ll find a way to keep working with Mr. Cooper. Our family won’t fall apart as easily as you hope.”

Madisyn didn’t say anything. She kept her eyes fixed forward.

Jeffry watched her with increasing disappointment. He knew their family hadn’t treated Madisyn well, but they had still raised her. Despite this, Madisyn showed no compassion for their current problems.
