Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Vanessa, looking back, discovered the person who grabbed her hand was dressed as an elegant and beautiful lady. Even V Vanessa, who considered herself to be beautiful, was taken aback by Madeline’s beauty, Jealousy shot through her after she collected herself.

With a scornful tone.” Vanessa asked, “Do you know each other? Your companion! Let go of me. How can you look so confident when you’re the one coming in and demanding money? Because of your attitude, I refuse to lend you a dime.”

Her attractive face appeared cruel and spiteful, and her eyes were full of complacency and self–confidence. She tried to pull her wrist out but was completely immobile. Madeline had an extremely tight grasp. Gritting her teeth, she warned, “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll make you pay the price.”

“Oh! Really!” Raising an eyebrow, Madeline continued, “You shouldn’t treat an elder with such rudeness.”

Vanessa retorted, “Mind your own business. My parents pamper me. Do you think you have the right to lecture me?”

Slap!

After receiving a hard slap, Vanessa fell to the ground. She was in disbelief and didn’t seem to notice the five fingerprints on her cheek. Her heart was racing. She lifted her head and cast a deadpan gaze on Madeline, saying, “How dare you slap me?

Broken glass from champagne glasses littered the floor. Vanessa struggled, and her thumb caused a four–fifth–inch shallow incision on a piece of glass. Her face grew pale with fright, and the cut began gushing. She groaned, “Ouch. Blood. It hurts...

Mom, Dad....

Conner’s expression darkened, and he looked at Madeline coldly.

Tiana rushed to help Vanessa to her feet. Noticing Vanessa had cut her finger, she was devastated. She asked, “Vanessa, does it hurt? I’ll take you to a 11 hurts so much.” Vanessa was Conner’s only daughter. She had an elder brother, and she was adored and protected by her family. Since childhood, she had been both noble and rude, and she had never experienced a slap like this.

Vanessa added, her eyes welling with tears, “Mom, Dad, how dare this bitch slap me in public! You have to get even with me.

She’s just a country bumpkin brought by Thomas here to bully me.”

Vanessa added, her hands shaking with fear, “I play the piano. If my hands get hurt, I’m done with my artistic career.”

“So what? Should I consult with you before slapping you? You should act more dramatic than you really are. If not, the cut will heal by the time visit the hospital, Madeline advised, squinting her eyes and glancing at Vanessa’s handi.

you “How are you going to act pitiful by the time it heals Madeline added with a compassionate smile.

Conner’s eyes were even colder. He mused, ‘How dare she disregard the dignity of the Larson family. It seems that I have to take action against Thomas. Otherwise, he would be showing off his strength by climbing all over me He stated icily. “Thomas, Ill put up with you even if you you mess around. But you shouldn’t have encouraged others to hurt my daughter”

Lifting an eyebrow, Vanessa cast a smug look at Madeline, thinking. ‘Dad’s angry. You bitch, let’s wait and see! This is now a serious issue. We re being judged by so many people, and I know they’re saying that you’re over. A lady from a poor family was nothing compared to a heiress like me. after all When Madeline entered the hall, she was encircled by people. So, Vanessa was unaware that Caleb had brought this unfamiliar, irrelevant person that day because she hadn’t seen Madeline’s face.

After realizing that Madeline was the one helping him. Thomas felt horrible and was unable to conceal his feelings of shame and regret.

He pondered, “Why did I treat her so poorly in the past? For the sake of power and my refusal to reconcile, I overlook family love.

When I’m Inumiliated, Maddie now stands in front of me to protect me, even though the Larson family from Top Ten Families is standing in front of us.

He felt so ashamed that he didn’t even think he was worthy of Madeline’s protection. He said. “Madeline, stay out of my business. Now, the Larson family is in disarray Just go. Il solve the problem on my own. Stay out of it”

With tears in his eyes, Thomas turned to gaze at Madeline’s stunning side profile before saying. “Be ruthless. Never p put yourself through this again Slapping t the daughter of the head of the Larson family had become a big issue. Madeline, shaking her burned hand, shot back.

“Who told you I was helping your 1 simply don’t like how impolite she is, okay? Besides, what can she do to me?

Madeline or & statements made Vanessa sheet.

It was ales the first time that Tiana had seen such a trageous person. She had a chilly expression. It was only natural that she wouldn’t allow Chapter 180 Vanessa to be bullied, given her tendency to spoil and be protective of her. She didn’t mind putting their weight on Madeline at this moment..

Sharon observed in for a considerable amount of time before grinning and remarking. “Conner, Tiana, you can’t teach her a lesson.”

Frowned, Vanessa asked, “Aunt Sharon, why not? Does she hold a position of power!”

Sharon tutted, replying, “Of course. Madeline is your uncle’s daughter. When she was in Acocester, there were young gangsters around her. Perhaps she has a powerful backer. What if her backer is someone as powerful as Mr. Simmons and Steven! How are we going to offend her?”

Sharon might have stated as much, but there was mockery and contempt on her face. She didn’t take Madeline seriously at all.

Madeline had some local tyrants in Acocester supporting her, but they were now in the capital. There were many ways that Sharon could damage Madeline’s life, like making her suffer all the time. She was overjoyed. She didn’t expect Madeline to be the one to bring about her own destruction However, she was aware that it was ludicrous if Caleb and Steven were Madeline’s backers since that was impossible.

“My daughter didn’t mean to do it. She was merely furious. Thomas made up his mind and grabbed Madeline’s wrist. He moved to stand in front of her and said, “I apologize. She slapped you. Til let you slap me back, and we’re even.

Conner gave Thomas a meaningful look, retorting, “Slap you? Is it possible that I may have to murder you when your daughter kills mine one day! Will it be able to take out my rage and compensate for everything Children need to be taught the truth by adults when they do something ignorant.”

He added, “We’re not in the country. We’re in the capital. Thomas, you ought to have realized that not everyone can afford to take offense.” With a dejected expression, Thomas was heartbroken that Conner had touched his painful memory. He said, Tm sorry, Conner. I’m to blame. I didn’t... I didn’t raise my daughter properly.

He once lost Madeline to incompetence, and in an attempt to preserve his dignity and future, he stood up for a phony heiress.

Madeline had the grace to stand up for him now, but all he could do was swallow his pride and admit that she was to blame. She did nothing improper, though. The only thing that went wrong was how useless her father was. Otherwise, even if she slapped Vanessa, they could do nothing against her.
