Chapter 250

Chapter 250:

Sarai’s words struck Rowan deeply. Just then, they arrived home. Rowan opened the door, stepped out, and walked away without a word. Courtney looked up, tears streaming down her face. Sarai embraced her, whispering, “Baby, don’t cry. Hutton doesn’t matter. Let him go. Did you see Andrew today? If you marry him, Hutton will become even more irrelevant.”

“But Madisyn is close to Andrew,” Courtney felt utterly hopeless. She had never imagined being overshadowed by someone she had once looked down on. The pain was intense.

“So what? Andrew might have come to the banquet because of your uncle, not because of Madisyn,” Sarai said softly. “You’re not like those country girls like Madisyn. You’ve had a top-notch education since you were a child. How could Andrew not be attracted to you?” Sarai’s encouragement restored Courtney’s confidence. Just then, Courtney’s phone rang.

“Courtney, congratulations!” Tatiana said excitedly. “Is the banquet over? Congratulations on becoming Hutton’s student. To be so accomplished at your age, you genuinely make me jealous!”

Courtney clenched her teeth and said, “I’m not Hutton’s student.”

Tatiana was taken aback and replied, “If not you, then who?”

“It’s Madisyn.” Courtney’s voice was heavy with frustration as she mentioned Madisyn.

Tatiana gasped in disbelief and responded, “How is that possible? Her?” Could Madisyn even draw? Yet, Courtney’s silence confirmed the shocking truth for Tatiana.

Tatiana was stunned and quickly found a reason, saying, “Madisyn is so shameless. She must have used the Johns family’s influence to get the opportunity. By preferring someone like Madisyn over a true talent, Hutton showed poor judgment. It really tarnishes his public image!” Although it wasn’t true, Courtney stayed silent and secretly enjoyed Tatiana’s harsh words about Madisyn.

“But it doesn’t matter, Courtney. Even if Madisyn is Hutton’s student, you will be Andrew’s future wife,” Tatiana replied.

Courtney bit her lip. “Can I… really?”

“Absolutely, you can. By the way, are you going to visit the Klein family the day after tomorrow?”

“The day after tomorrow?” Courtney sounded puzzled. “Don’t you know? Madisyn and her family are planning to visit the Klein family then.”

Courtney had a sudden realization. Darn it! They planned a visit to the Klein family without telling her! After ending the call, Courtney quickly told her mother about this.

Sarai pondered briefly, then said coldly, “Humph, I knew it. They’re too shameless, trying to snatch all the good opportunities for themselves. I won’t let them succeed!”

Hutton stayed at Glenn’s house until late. Madisyn saw him to the gate.

“I didn’t make things clear in the beginning, which led to misunderstandings,” Hutton said to Madisyn apologetically.

Madisyn replied, “It’s fine. Even if I had clarified things beforehand, they wouldn’t have believed me.”

“When should I start teaching?” Hutton asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming.

Madisyn thought for a moment. Hutton quickly added, “Don’t worry! If you’re busy, just one painting a month to show me would be enough!” Such flexibility. Hutton’s previous students were required to practice daily in the drawing room, and they all became influential figures.

“Okay, I will,” Madisyn responded. Hutton was very pleased. “There is hope for our country’s painting industry!”

Madisyn said, “Mr. Marquez, I think you’re expecting too much from me.”

“I believe in you.” Hutton replied, his eyes filled with optimism. He then inquired, “You’re dating Andrew?”

“Yes. Do you know him?”

“Everyone in Ansport knows him,” Hutton said with a sigh. “He’s the pride of Ansport, so many people would naturally want to marry him. Now that you’re my student, it will be easier for you to marry into the Klein family.”

Madisyn realized Hutton’s thoughtfulness. “Thank you, Mr. Marquez.”

Hutton continued, “In Ansport, there are four major influential families, with the Klein family leading. The other families are tough as well, especially the Riggs family. You must be cautious around them. The Riggs are known for their decisive and merciless nature. Particularly, there is a young lady in their family who is said to be quite difficult to deal with; there have been rumors about her and Andrew.”
