“Thanks for the gesture, but I didn’t help much. I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need for a meal.”
Madison nodded and left with the salesperson after she said that.
She wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but Madison felt someone’s gaze following her.
As she approached a corner, she turned around and took a glance.
The corridor was empty, not a single person in sight.
Madison came back to her senses and shook her head. It was probably just her imagination.
After getting her measurements taken, Madison went looking for Janice. She felt the atmosphere.
change entirely when she entered the jewelry store.
Janice was sitting cross-legged on a stool. Even if she didn’t utter a word, she exuded an air of charm and maturity.
There was a woman standing a short distance from Janice.
The woman wasn’t young anymore, but she took good care of herself, and her figure was comparable to that of a young woman.
Her makeup was light, but there was more than met the eye. Her entire look was meticulously designed.
Only other women would be able to pick up on the finer details. Most men wouldn’t even notice.
The woman gave off the delicate charm of a docile and reserved woman, while Janice exuded the grace and elegance of a noblewoman. The woman was clearly not on Janice’s level when it came to looks.
The woman said in a seemingly feeble tone, “Janice, I didn’t know you wanted that necklace. I’m sorry. Why don’t I buy it for you?”
Janice snorted and set her coffee down as she looked at the woman condescendingly. The woman seemed to be waiting for Janice to continue talking.
Unexpectedly, Janice fell silent after grunting. It seemed like she didn’t care about the woman in the slightest.
The woman spoke up again. “You probably haven’t seen Kenneth in a long time, Janice. He’s here, too. I’ve always felt bad about what happened.
“I’ve never had the chance to meet you all these years. I’ve been meaning to apologize
Janice didn’t even look at the woman. She noticed Madison from the corner of her eye. She waved at
Madison noticed the atmosphere wasn’t right, but she obediently went to Janice’s side.
“Mom, this is…”
“She’s nobody. You can ignore her. Look at these accessories that I picked out for you.”
Madison could sense that something was wrong, but she didn’t try to ask any questions since she noticed Janice’s aloof attitude.
Madison nodded at the woman politely and said, “Please make way.”
The woman took Madison’s hand affectionately and said, “You must be Madison. I’ve seen the news.
“You’re a good match for Hunter. You two look like a match made in heaven when standing next to each other.”
The woman saw the confusion in Madison’s eyes and introduced herself, “Look at me. I forgot that we haven’t met. I’m Hunter’s stepmother. You can call me Ms. Potts.”
Madison immediately understood who she was-Jessica Potts, the love of Kenneth’s life. Comment by soonyoung gu: wasn’t it bonnie what happened to bonnie
She was also the one that brought misfortune upon the Williamss, and she was also a class-A bitch.
Madison didn’t expect to meet Jessica in person.
She finally understood why Janice was acting that way. Also, Jessica was probably trying to cozy up to her so she could ruin Janice’s day.
Jessica was obviously more skilled at putting up appearances than Nikki.
Her smile was so warm that Madison might have been fooled if she didn’t know what Jessica did in the past.
Madison smiled politely and said, “Miss, please make way. You’re blocking me. I just want to try on some accessories.”
Madison didn’t engage Jessica. She just remained polite and kept her distance so that Jessica wouldn’t have the opportunity to start anything.
Janice had also changed. She used to throw a fit whenever she saw Jessica, but she was ignoring
Jessica entirely at the moment.
“Come, check this sapphire necklace out. It looks good on you,” Janice said as she put the necklace on Madison.
Initially, Madison felt like Janice was a high-and-mighty empress who was dispassionate and
After spending some time with Janice, Madison realized that Janice was just a very straightforward person.
She would wear her emotions on her sleeve and wouldn’t even try to keep up appearances for people she hated.
Madison felt at ease when she was with someone like Janice.
Jessica smiled and reached for the necklace on Madison’s neck. “It really suits you, Ms. Evans.
Look at how good the gem looks.
“Why don’t you let me pay for it? Consider it a gift from me. You’re Hunter’s wife, and we shouldn’t be strangers.”
Madison already got a taste of how fearsome Jessica was. She was all smiles, yet her words were like knives aimed at Janice’s heart.
She wasn’t sure if she was just imagining it or if Jessica was deliberately trying to make Janice mad.
Janice slapped Jessica’s hand away and said, “Keep your grubby hands off my daughter-in-law.”
Although Janice’s actions were rude, Madison was shocked to see Jessica take a few steps back from Janice’s slap.
Her performance was so convincing that Madison thought she could become an actress.
Coincidentally, someone appeared just in time to catch Jesicca on the waist. The man said coldly, “
What’s going on here?”
Madison turned around to look at the man.
He looked handsome and elegant. His features resembled Hunter’s.
The man was tall, looked like he took good care of himself, and was wearing expensive clothes. He looked like he was in his 40s.
Madison figured the man had to be Kenneth Williams, whom she had heard so much about.
From the looks of it, Hunter looked more like Kenneth than Darrell did. Darrell’s features were softer and more feminine.
Looking at Kenneth, Madison was reminded of what he did to Hunter when he was three. She had no love for Kenneth or Jessica.
Madison was worried about Janice. She met both Jessica and Kenneth quickly after she stepped foot outside of the house.
Was it an accident or a coincidence?
Madison was afraid that this meeting would cause Janice’s condition to worsen. She observed all of their expressions anxiously.
Kenneth finally noticed Janice’s presence. His gaze fell on her momentarily before moving away.
The emotions in his eyes were conflicted. Several emotions were swirling within.
Janice didn’t even look at him. She muttered, “Just my fucking luck.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but everyone could hear it.
Janice waved at the salesperson and said, “Pack up all these I have tried on.”
The salesperson said uneasily, “About that… Mrs. Williams Senior had reserved them in advance.
They are our last pair. I showed them to you to match them with the necklace.”
Mrs. Williams Senior. These three words were quite ironic.
Jessica quickly said, “It’s fine, Janice. We’re a family, after all. If you like these earrings, you can have them.
“Kenneth can pay for them. It’ll be our gift to Madison.
“Right, Kenneth. This is Hunter’s wife. I don’t think you’ve met her before.”
What a considerate woman Jessica was. Madison suddenly understood why Kenneth would leave
Janice for Jessica.
Janice’s upbringing basically made sure she would be a proud heiress. She never needed to be considerate of other people’s feelings, and everyone in her family doted on her.
Even when she fell in love, she did things her way. She never stopped to consider other people’s feelings like Jessica.
Kenneth’s status was similar to Janice’s. It was only natural that he would prefer a more docile woman like Jessica.
Kenneth said slowly, “How much is it? I’ll pay for it.”
Janice, who had remained silent the whole time, looked at them expressionlessly and asked
Madison, “Do you like these earrings, dear?”
Madison quickly shook her head and said, “The design and color are subpar. After a closer look, I don’t really like it.”
She proceeded to take off the necklace and put it back. She even thanked the salesperson politely.
Her actions pleased Janice.
Janice leaned on the counter lazily and said, “I’ll take everything other than the ones that woman looked at or touched.”
The salesperson stammered, “All… All of them?”
Janice took out a black card and said, “Swipe this card. Pack everything up and deliver it to my place.”
The salesperson carefully picked up the card and went to process the transaction. The salesperson had rarely seen such a big spender, even in a place like this.
Madison finally witnessed the scene where the rich and powerful man stands up for the helpless woman, just like in the movies. But she felt like Janice was still the cooler one.
Janice patted Madison’s hand and said with a smile, “Madie, I’ve told you before. You don’t even need to hold back when spending.
“We have plenty of money. Let’s look at some handbags over there.”
“Okay.”
Madison nodded at Kenneth and Jessica. Then she said, “Please let us through.”
Jessica watched as Janice left. She felt like Janice was different from before.
In the past, Janice would throw a fit when others addressed Jessica as Mrs. Williams Senior. But she didn’t even look at Kenneth, whom she loved so much, this time.
Janice walked away without looking back, treating Kenneth like he didn’t exist.
Kenneth felt uncomfortable being ignored by Janice. He spoke up again. “Janice.”
In the past, Janice would come running whenever he uttered her name. She was like his most faithful believer who yearned for his love. But this time, her footsteps didn’t even slow down.
Curious about the expression Kenneth was making, Madison looked back at him.
Hunter really did resemble Kenneth. Both of them were mostly expressionless.
Kenneth’s expression made it hard to discern his feelings at the moment.
After they had walked away, Madison asked, “Mom, are you okay?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? She’s just as underhanded as ever. She was just trying to make me angry.”
