Chapter 597

Chapter 597:

Annoyed, Jada sneered, “Hmph, only you would value someone like that. If I could have…” she trailed off arrogantly.

Maxine, unfazed, replied, “Yes, you’re truly remarkable. Didn’t I just praise you for that?” Her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Feeling cornered, Jada snapped, “You’re just jealous of me—jealous that Wesley is better than Norton.”

Maxine calmly responded, “Why would I envy someone without a brain? Neither Andrew nor Norton wanted you. Doesn’t that tell you something? Anyone with a bit of sense knows you’re not worth it.”

Maxine remained unfazed as Jada fumed. “Even if you’re with Wesley now, that fool will drive the Lambert family into the ground soon enough.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Jada shouted. Unable to bear it, she raised her hand, ready to slap Maxine.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Norton, sensing the brewing storm, shouted, his voice filled with anger.

Jada snapped back to reality, retracting her hand and gazing at them with a pitiful expression as she explained, “Maxine said it wouldn’t be long before the Lambert family goes bankrupt, which made me angry.”

“What?” Wesley exclaimed in fury. “Maxine, you wretch…”

Before he could finish, Norton’s fist connected with his face.

Wesley stared at Norton in disbelief, his voice rising in protest.

He had actually hit him!

Norton’s expression was icy as he pulled Maxine away. Before departing, he said, “No matter how reckless you get in the future, I won’t care anymore.”

Wesley seethed with fury, his fists clenched tightly. Why did everyone think he was in the wrong?

“Does it hurt?” Jada asked softly, her fingers brushing against his cheek, her eyes shimmering with concern. “Norton was out of line. He must be under Maxine’s spell. You two used to be the best of friends.”

Wesley felt utterly wronged. “Yes!” he replied emphatically.

Clearly, it was Norton who was under a spell, yet he had the gall to believe he was the one in the wrong.

Wesley was determined to prove that he hadn’t done anything wrong! In such trying moments, it was always Jada who stood by him.

Wesley wrapped his arms around her tightly, saying, “Jada, thank you for always being there for me.”

Jada responded softly, “Oh, you silly thing. Of course, I’ll always be here for you. By the way… I need to head back soon, or my sister will certainly start speaking ill of me.”

“Is Sugan still bullying you?” Wesley asked, releasing her and fixing her with a serious gaze.

Jada sighed, her silence speaking volumes. Wesley, reading her distress, gritted his teeth and declared, “I’ll stand up for you.”

The very next day, Madisyn woke to shocking news.
