Just as Madison couldn''t bear it anymore and was about to push away Sally, Sally suddenly had a slight change in expression. She furrowed her brows and let Madison go.


    Sally assessed Madison''s figure. "Madison, is this dress a bit loose? It looks kind of baggy."


    In the high-society circle, attending an evening party meantpeting with one another.


    Dresses and jewelry were disys meant to show off.


    The topics of discussion among them included who wore the limited edition haute couture from which brand and which set of jewelry belonged to which designer. If someone wore an outdated dress, they would be immediately ostracized, not to mention identally wearing a knockoff.


    Ill-fitting dresses were obviously categorized as embarrassing and shameful.


    People around them started ridiculing Madison openly.


    "She doesn''t even have a fitting dress. How could she call herself Mrs. Palmer? How pitiful!"


    "Cut her some ck. She just came back from exile overseas. It''s good enough that she has a decent dress to wear. Look at her hairstyle. It''s so old-fashioned. No wonder Mr. Palmer doesn''t like her! I wonder when Mr. Palmer will divorce this woman. He should hurry up and free himself!"N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    As if she didn''t hear what the others were saying, Sallyined to Leo. "Leo, why did you prepare such a dress for my sister?"


    Madison had already anticipated such a scene. She watched Sally''s performance expressionlessly, thinking that it was pretty childish.


    Surprisingly, Leo spoke up to exin. "I didn''t have time to ask for Madison''s measurements. I thought both of you had simr figures, so I had the designer tailor it ording to your size. I didn''t expect it to be ill-fitting. There was also no time to make changes."


    The gossiping abruptly stopped.


    Sally almost couldn''t maintain her smile.


    She could already feel the mocking gazes from the people around her, as if they were saying she was fatter than Madison!


    There was also the matter of the dress. Sally had set her eyes on it when Sprince''s spring-summer collection was released. It had not been avable for sale yet and could only be obtained from the designer.


    Unexpectedly, Madison was the first to wear it!


    Even more unexpectedly, Leo not only gave the dress to Madison but also spoke up to defend that despicable person!


    Taking a deep breath, Sally struggled to maintain herposure andined to Leo, "I see. You should be more attentive next time."


    Leo lowered his gaze and looked at Madison. He gave a nod of acknowledgment.


    Madison originally intended to refuse.


    "The dresses are in the room you used to stay in before. Choose whichever you like. There are still guests here, so I won''t apany you." Sally retracted her hand.


    She turned to leave, but someone behind her bent down and helped lift the skirt of her dress.


    Madison instinctively looked at Sally.


    Madison took the skirt back from Leo and nced at him. "It''s hard to console a girl once she''s angry. You should go get your gift first."


    She turned to leave decisively without a second look.


    Leo subconsciously clenched his fingers, but the silky fabric slipped away from his palm. Lifting his gaze, he only saw her slender back steadily heading towards the vi.


    Madison went straight to the furthest room on the vi''s second floor.


    Before Sally returned, she used to stay in the bedroom on the second floor with a balcony. Later, when the real daughter of the Hale family returned, Madison naturally gave up that bedroom.


    However, at that time, Sally directly expressed her dislike for Madison on her face andined about the difficulties of her life as an abandonedmoner every time she saw Madison. Not letting Madison stay in the servant''s room was already a show of Sally''s kindness.


    Butpared to the remote room, the feeling of living under someone else''s roof was tormenting. When she was alone in the small room, it was the most rxing time of her day.


    Deep in thought, Madison pushed the door open.


    The instant the light came on, the door behind her suddenly mmed shut with a bang. She could hear the sound of the key being pulled out from outside.


    She instinctively turned around, but her arm was suddenly forcefully restrained...
