Chapter 280

Chapter 280:

Onyx was confused. “But she’s my fiancée!”

“You fool!” Cormac, aware that Onyx was out of the loop, scoffed. “She’s Dane Johns’s woman!”

“That’s impossible!”

Hearing the disbelief in Onyx’s voice, Cormac smirked with a touch of satisfaction. “Onyx, you’ve mistakenly given Dane’s woman to someone else. You’re in big trouble.” With that, he ended the call.

Cormac shut his eyes, quite pleased with himself, imagining the difficulties Onyx would soon encounter.

At the banquet, Madisyn was mingling with the guests, making small talk. Courtney felt distinctly uneasy watching her.

“Tatiana, tell me what you just discovered!” Courtney urged Tatiana for information.

Tatiana answered, “Okay, okay, here’s what I found out. Madisyn didn’t grow up in the mountains. She lived with a relatively wealthy family in Gemond. While they aren’t a large family, they are quite prominent in the city. That explains her abilities.”

“I see.” Courtney realized her mistake. She regretted not doing her homework sooner. Had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have underestimated Madisyn. Knowing your enemy is crucial for victory. Her carelessness had led to her current predicament.

Tatiana continued to reveal more information to Courtney. “However, the Chapman family is currently struggling. Their family situation is complex. The Chapman couple recently found their real daughter, Jenna, back, and she doesn’t get along with Madisyn. It seems someone else might be more eager to see Madisyn out of the picture than we are.”

Courtney realized there was no need to get her hands dirty when someone else could do the dirty work for her. She smiled. “Tatiana, you’re so insightful. I see what you mean now.”

“I’m happy you do, Courtney. I’ve always hoped both you and I would marry into the Klein family.” Tatiana smiled warmly.

“I’ll do everything I can,” Courtney said resolutely.

Time slipped by quietly, and before Madisyn knew it, it was already eleven o’clock. Andrew left with her, a somber mood hanging over him.

“What’s wrong?” Madisyn turned to him.

Andrew exhaled deeply. “I have this feeling that once Edge Entertainment becomes more successful, you’re going to be busier than me.”

Madisyn chuckled, surprised that Andrew felt left out. She took his hand and offered a reassuring smile. “Oh, come on, it’s just one busy evening, right? With such a large crowd, it’s naturally hectic. I promise not to let work consume all my time. Life’s too short not to enjoy it.”

Andrew nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Let’s plan a trip with your parents when we find some time.”

“Sounds good.”

Andrew then drove Madisyn home.

Before going to bed, Madisyn sat at her desk and logged into her Wattpad account. She used to write stories on this platform and even networked with producers here.

Immediately upon logging in, she was flooded with messages—fan messages and collaboration proposals. Amidst them, she spotted messages from Victor. There were dozens of them.

“How are you today, Hermione?”

“The results are fantastic! All thanks to you!”

“Here’s the script our writer put together. Please take a look, and let me know if it needs tweaking.”

“Hermione, did you forget your account’s password?” The latest message was sent today.

“We held the audition for the second female lead today, but no one really stood out. It would’ve been great if you were here to recommend someone.”

Who would have guessed that the typically haughty Victor would send so many messages?

Madisyn replied, “Were none of the actresses from today’s audition satisfactory?”

Since it was late, she planned to go to bed after sending the message, but Victor replied immediately.

“Hermione, you finally replied! How can I put this… There’s one pretty skilled newbie, but there are doubts about her integrity. We might have to skip her. If she caused trouble later, it could impact the entire team.”

Madisyn’s eyes narrowed. This newbie must be Milly. Why would Victor make such a comment?

“Why do you think there are doubts about her integrity?”

Victor responded, “I’ve seen a video. Her personal life seems chaotic.”

Madisyn answered, “Send it to me.”

Shortly after, Victor forwarded the video.

Madisyn viewed it and could tell right away it was not the original video. She massaged her temples, musing that although Victor could be sharp, sometimes he wasn’t very perceptive.
