Chapter 81
Chapter 81
Madison wasn’t sure if Ryan had caught a glimpse of Jeremy’s face, so she yed it cool. After
collecting her thoughts, Madison smiled at Ryan and asked, “Tm here to see a friend off. How about
you, Mr. nton?”
“A few days ago, I lost a suitcase when I got off the ne. The staff had found it, and informed me to
come personally to im it,” said Ryan.
Seeing that Ryan didn’t seem suspicious, Madison breathed a sigh of relief. After discussing some
business matters, she left.
As Ryan watched Madison’s departing figure, he sighed in his heart, thinking, ‘Without Neville around,
Madison seems less intimidating and more feminine.’
When the staff called Ryan to im the suitcase, he casually nced at the airport monitor. When his
gazended on that little face, he froze and wondered, “Wow, this kid is a miniature version of Neville!
He immediately took a picture and sent it to Neville with a message. [Neville, did you secretly have a
son outside with someone?]
Ryan knew Neville and Madison had been together for three years without any children, and this child
looked about four or five years old. If he was indeed Neville’s son, the only exnation would be that
he had it with another woman.
When Neville saw the photo, he was shocked and thought, ‘How can this child look exactly like me?”
Naville was always meticulous and particr, especially when it came to rtionships. So far, Madison
was the only woman he had slept with. “Could this child be secretly born to Madison without me
knowing? Thinking of this, Neville immediately sent a message to Madison, [Come out. Let’s meet.] But
she didn’t respond. Neville then sent the photo of Jeremy to Bernard. [Go and check this child’s
background.] Although Neville found this situation bizarre, he wouldn’t overlook any possibilities. Even
if this child wasn’t his, there must be some connection between them, given their striking resemnce.
Back at the vi, Madison couldn’t shake off a sense of dread. Recalling how Ryan had approached,
Jeremy had just turned away. She pondered, ‘If Ryan discovered Jeremy’s existence, it meant Neville
also knew. I have finally cut ties cleanly with Neville and can’t afford to be dragged back because of the
child. Plus, with Neville’s personality, he will never let Jeremy roam outside; he will definitely keep the
kid close, perhaps even entrusting the kid to Alison for upbringing. Alison already hates me to the bone.
How can she treat Jeremy well?
The more Madison thought about it, the more terrified she felt. She immediately opened herptop,
verified her hacker identity, and swiftly hacked into the airport surveincework, destroying all
footage of Jeremy. Just then, Ethan’s call came in, with faint music in the background. “Miss Guzman, I
think there might be some issues with that supplementary agreement. Can youe over and
confirm?”
Madison replied in a deep voice, “Send me the address.”
Ethan sent the address of Night Bar. Madison couldn’t guess his intentions but decided to finalize their
cooperation. She drove straight to the bar. As she pushed open the door, she saw Ethan surrounded by
a group of friends, his face bruised and swollen, with a cut on his lip, as if he had been in a fierce fight.
Since there was some acquaintance between the Collins and Conner families, it was understandable
that Michael was present, but Madison was surprised to see Alison as well. After all, Alison was
Ethan’s ex-girlfriend, making their rtionship somewhat awkward. When Alison saw Madison enter, a
hint of hostility also shed in her eyes, mocking, “Miss Guzman has quite the skills. The ink on the
divorce certificate with Neville is still fresh, and now you’ve be the true love of Mr. Collins in the
blink of an eye.”
The atmosphere became awkward, with everyone’s gazes shifting towards Madison, filled with various
meanings, Ethan made no move to intervene, just watching coldly.
Madison retorted, “As long as one doesn’t feel embarrassed, then what’s embarrassing is only to
others. Miss Conner can be so rxed here as Mr. Collins’s former girlfriend; I have nothing to be
embarrassed about.” Alison was left speechless by Madison’seback, just ring at her fiercely.
Madison walked straight to Ethan, her tone businesslike, saying, “Mr. Collins, please show me the
supplementary agreement
Chapter 81
for confirmation.”
There was a murmur of sympathy around. “I thought Mr. Collins had already taken Neville’s woman to
bed. It seems the story hasn’t unfolded yet. She’s here for business, not pleasure,” someone
commented.
Alison chuckled at the side. “Mr. Collins should learn from Mr. Castro in this regard, ask him how to get
a woman.”
Ssh! Madison suddenly poured a bottle of wine over Alison’s head. Alison, drenched and shrieking,
stood up. “Madison, are you insane?”

Madison sneered and said, “Miss Conner, stepping out in public with such foul-mouthed,cking basic
social etiquette. I helped freshen up your mouth; you should thank me.”
“You bi t c h!” Alison raised her hand to hit Madison, but Madison grabbed her wrist, and forcefully
pped her away, continuing. These two ps are your lesson. I hope Miss Conner will learn to be
more mindful in the future and not spout
nonsense.”
Alison was utterly embarrassed, and just as she was about to retaliate, Ethan turned to Michael and
said, “Take your uninvited sister and leave. She has offended my guest. We don’t wee you here.”
With this ultimatum, if the siblings didn’t leave now, they would appear shameless. Michael pulled the
disheveled Alison away.
Ethan smiled and pushed a ss of wine toward Madison. “Miss Guzman, tonight is my wee
gathering. Since you’re here, you must have a drink.”
Considering their business rtionship, Madison didn’t want to offend Ethan and downed the drink.
Only then did Ethan instruct his assistant to bring the briefcase. Madison sat aside, carefully going
through the supplementary agreement. Under the colorful lights, her delicate face looked even more
charming. Ethan took out his phone, snapped a picture of her profile, and posted it on Instagram,
captioning it “Perfect Goddess.”
When Neville saw this photo, his face turned frighteningly dark. Men understood men the best, and
Neville knew better than anyone what Ethan’s intentions towards Madison might be. He immediately
drove to the bar.
Madison had low alcohol tolerance, and after two sses of wine, her face had a hint of blush. Seeing
the situation, Ethan’s friends sensed his feelings and intentionally pushed Madison into Ethan’s arms.
When Madison stood up to go to the restroom, she stumbled backward, unsure of what or who had
tripped her. Ethan’srge hand reached out and precisely caught her waist. Her slender wais incredibly
soft, infusing Ethan’s voice with a husky tone. “Miss Guzman, be careful.”
Just then, Neville pushed the door open and caught sight of this scene. In an instant, his blood ran
cold, his voice chillingly. terrifying. “Ethan, let go!”
