Neville’s handsome face remainedposed, showing no signs of being flustered. His voice had the
steady confidence of someone used to calling the shots. “Loveille doesn’t have a solid foundation.
Sure, it’s got a name for itself in a niche market, but it’s been treading water for the past three years.
Honestly, it’s not really partnership material, Neville said.
Ryan chuckled. “You always wanted to poach Elianna, Loveille’s designer, for Fliwip. Why the change
of heart now?”
“Elianna’s style is indeed refreshing, but a designer who hasn’t produced any works in the past three
years is likely to be past their prime. Shecks anymercial value.”
Ryan half–jokingly remarked, “Or we could bring her in for other purposes. I heard that the mysterious
Ms. Atkins is young and beautiful. Aren’t you getting a divorce soon? You might consider it.”
Neville’s eyes exuded a cold and ruthless aura as he said, “Ryan, Aidan’s birthday is around the
corner. Do you want me to tell him about the shady things you’ve been up to?”
Ryan immediately begged for mercy. “Neville, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have imposed my dirty thoughts
on you.”
“As for Elianna, you can deal with her however you want, but Loveille cannot be our partner,” Neville
said firmly.
Ryan tossed Loveille’s bidding proposal into the trash, saying, “Actually, I had high hopes for Loveille.
Now that it’s been eliminated, the only option left is the Conner Group.”
In the meeting room, it was just Madison and Alison. With no audience present, Alison no longer felt
the need to maintain the facade of being a good person. She had an air of arrogance and disdain,
saying, “Seems like I gave Loveille too much credit. I figured even without Elianna, they’d rope in some
industry hotshot. Never guessed they’d pull you in.”
In Alison’s eyes, Madison was uneducated, Ross bringing her here was probably because he was
infatuated with her.
Madison wasn’t bothered. She just smiled and touched her slender fingers, saying, “Miss Conner, are
you trying to educate me on meddling in other people’s business?”
Alison sneered, “Oh, I almost forgot. Regina said that you cook well and your cleaning skills are
excellent. It’s said to be even better than a maid. This could be considered an advantage. If you don’t
mind, I can help you find a housekeepingpany. I’m sure you can showcase your talents.
Madison knew that Alison wasn’t praising her. Instead, she was using a subtle way to mock Madison
for being a free maid for three years.
Madison looked at Alison with a mocking smile. “At least he marries me. What about you, Miss
Conner? You’ve been with him for so many years, but he doesn’t even want to marry you
Alison was hit where it hurt the most. Her heart ached, and she angrily said, “If it weren’t for you,
Neville and I would have been together a long time ago.”
Madison sneered, “So, Miss Conner, it’s best for you to be smart. If you provoke me, I might cancel the
divorce n with Neville, leaving you being scolded for a homewrecker.
Alison was trembling with anger and snapped, “How did I not know you were so cunning and
deceitful?”
Madison, once soft–spoken and subdued, had transformed into a woman who wasn’t just sharp–
tongued but also pretty. savvy. She was hitting Alison where it hurt, leaving her hot under the cor.
Madison sneered, “I didn’t realize you were this thick–skinned. Here I am, still his legal wife, and you’re
already trying to fill my shoes? Who gave you the confidence?”
Alison couldn’t find a reason to refute her, and her face turned red in embarrassment,
At this moment, Ryan’s assistant walked in, saying, “Congrattions, Miss Conner. The Conner Group
has sessfully won the bid and be Fliwip’s partner. Mr. nton invites you to discuss the
coboration n.”

Madison frowned. ording to the process, representatives of all biddingpanies would have a
face–to–face meeting with the CEO of Fliwip to present their design concepts and analyze
opportunities in the luxury goods market.
Skipping this process and directly announcing the result was undoubtedly unusual.
She immediately asked, “Is this Mr. nton’s decision or Fliwip’s CEO’s decision?”
Fliwip’s CEO was always mysterious, and no one had seen him. All matters were handled by Ryan.
But it was said that this mysterious CEO was highly capable, and all major decisions affecting the
company’s fate were made by him.
Once he made a decision about the bidding, it meant there was no turning back.
Alison, upon hearing this news, was delighted. She put on a triumphant posture, and as she passed by
Madison, she whispered, “Madison, let me give you some advice. Ryan and Neville are close. Why not
go and beg Neville? He might consider helping you for the sake of your rtionship.”
Alison was unting her understanding of Neville. After all, there were things even Madison, as the
rightful wife, didn’t know, but Alison was well aware.
For the past three years, Madison had been by Neville’s side, yet he treated her like a caged bird,
limiting her world to revolve solely around him and his family, Madison remained oblivious to his
connections and the activities he engaged in, unaware of his rtionship with Ryan.
Madison chuckled, not ming Alison for looking down on her. Even when she looked back on those
three years, Madison, felt like a joke.
Seeing that Madison didn’t refute, Alison showed a winner’s pride, strutting past her with swaying hips.
When she entered the director’s office, she heard the voices of Ryan and Neville.

“Neville, you just knocked Loveille out like that. I suspect you’re intentionally helping Alison,” Ryan said.
“Think whatever you want,” Neville said.
“Hey, are you and Alison rekindling the past romance, or are you in a secret rtionship?” Ryan asked.
*Ryan, be a normal person. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense, Neville said coldly.
As Neville walked out, he happened to collide with Alison.
She looked at him with a burning gaze, attributing Fliwip’s decision to Neville’s behind–the–scenes
maniption.
“Neville, do you have time tonight?” Alison asked.
Neville heard the implied meaning in her words and was about to refuse when amotion interrupted
them
Just then, Madison was being wrestled by security personnel. “I want to see your CEO!”
“Miss, you don’t have an appointment. We can’t let you in,” the personel said.
Behind the crowd, Madison spotted Neville standing in the light, with Alison beside him. The man was
tall and stern, while the woman was graceful and gentle. They looked like a perfect match. Madison felt
heartbroken.
Caught off guard, she was pushed by the security personnel and fell to the ground, looking somewhat
disheveled.
Neville, surrounded by an aura of hostility, approached Madison and roughly yanked her to her feet. His
gaze fell upon the p mark on her cheek, intensifying his animosity even further.
Madison suddenly threw his hand off.
