“Ms. Shaw,” she greeted first.
Nikki twisted the cap of her lipstick. She said in disdain, “The Shaws have been a reputable family for a hundred years. In what ways do you think you’re better than me?”
Madison felt a little exasperated. “Is it considered an advantage to be prettier than you?”
She wasn’t boasting. Nikki was just a decent-looking woman. No matter how she looked at her, there wasn’t anything special about Nikki’s features.
Nikki only had her high-fashion dress and jewelry going for her. If not, Madison would be the first person to be spotted in a ceremony like this. Meanwhile, Nikki would be lost in the crowd.
“You!”
Madison had touched on the worst subject. Nikki’s expression instantly changed.
“Also, he seems to love me a lot. Is this considered my second advantage?”
In her most innocent voice, Madison spoke the harshest words.
Seeing that Nikki’s expression had changed, Madison dried her hands with a tissue. Then, she slowly applied hand cream.
“Ms. Shaw, I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to prove to me. Is it the pretend play you had when you were a kid or your family background that you’re so proud of?
“I only know that in love, the loser is the one who doesn’t get it. Moreover, it’s not like he just doesn’t love probably be more invested in a passerby than in you.”
you.
He’ll
Madison put down her hand cream. “If I were you, I’d feel too ashamed to even think about hurrying forward to prance around.”
“Just wait, Madison. We’ll see who’s the real loser here. We’ll meet again soon.”
Nikki was planning to threaten Madison. But she didn’t expect to be caught off-guard by Madison’s words.
Madison was proud of none other than Hunter’s love for her.
Without Hunter, she was nothing.
But with Hunter around, she owned the whole world.
Madison didn’t feel much about Nikki’s threats. If Hunter loved her, there was no need for her to be afraid of other women.
If he didn’t love her, no matter how much she cried or shouted, no amount of pleading would work.
Other women didn’t matter at all. What mattered was how Hunter thought of her.
Madison calmly walked away in her high heels. She didn’t care how Nikki mocked her from behind.
She had just rounded a corner when she heard a woman’s piercing voice. “Do you know how expensive my dress is? I had to beg the brand owner so hard before it was lent to me.
“Don’t you know that couture fabric like this should never get wet? It’s not something a poor janitor like you can afford to compensate for!”
A distance away, a woman in a blue evening gown was holding the hem of her dress. She was yelling at a man in a janitor’s uniform in front of her.
The man was tall, but with his lowered head, he looked very humble.
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry? If apologies were of any use, there’d be no reason for the justice system to exist. Well, I’m not going to bully you for this. Give me 500 thousand dollars and I’ll just make up for the rest of the amount for you.”
“500 thousand dollars?” Smiling, Madison walked out. “You’re asking for too much, Miss. The dress you’re wearing only costs four digits at most.”
The woman crossed her arms, looking at Madison with an arrogant air.
When Hunter announced their relationship just now, the woman wasn’t there. So, she didn’t recognize Madison. She thought that
Madison was an outsider, but she sure had exquisite looks.
So, the woman thought that Madison was a mistress some random man had brought with him.
“Are you out of your mind, lady? My dress is the newest design by the famous Niko. When you get out of here, you’d better ask around and see how expensive this series is.
“You can’t even get it for 500 thousand dollars on the market. I’m already being very kind to just have him pay 500 thousand dollars as compensation.”
Madison replied, “If it’s genuine, then, of course, 500 thousand dollars won’t be enough. But Miss, you’re wearing a counterfeit product, and it’s a relatively nice replica. That’s why I said it costs only four digits.
“If someone can spot that it’s a fake right away, it’d only cost around a hundred dollars or so.”
The woman had a foul expression on her face when Madison said right away that it was a fake. “Nonsense. I’m a celebrity. Why would I wear a counterfeit product?
“I worked very hard to borrow this dress. You’d better mind your own business.”
Madison had lost her memories, but she could see from the woman’s air that she wasn’t a top celebrity.
There was a large wound on the janitor’s face. The exposed skin on his body was also coarse and tanned. Anyone could see that he was used to labor.
Hunching over, he said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you, Miss. But you should leave. I don’t want to drag you down. I’ll compensate for the dress. I-I’ve saved up some money over the years.
“If it’s not enough, I’ll sell my house. I’ll be able to pay it back somehow.”
Madison said, “You don’t have to compensate for a counterfeit. The most you should give her is 50 dollars as a cleaning fee.”
Their argument attracted the attention of other people. More people gathered around to look.
Everyone was discussing among themselves.
“I didn’t expect Mrs. Williams to be so kind to a fault. Should offending janitors be released without punishment just because they’re from marginalized groups?”
“If I go out and hit a Rolls-Royce tomorrow, I’ll just say that I’m poor so that I can be let off the hook. Is this how things work now?”
“If Mrs. Williams is so rich, she can just pay the measly 500 thousand for him. She doesn’t have to trouble a minor celebrity with her superior sense of morals.”
“I know, right? When they were on the stage just now, I thought that she and Mr. Williams were a perfect match. But now, it looks like she’s not that special at all. Money doesn’t grow on trees even for us celebrities.”
“The dress was difficult to borrow, and now, it’s ruined because of the water. Compensating for it is one thing, but she’ll also be blacklisted after ruining it. The loss isn’t something that can be solved through words alone.”
“Even a million dollars isn’t enough to compensate, let alone 500 thousand. Mara was quite kind to have asked for that sum.”
Hearing the discussion, the janitor spoke urgently, “Miss, please don’t concern yourself with me. I’ll just pay for the compensation.”
Mara Hudson was even more arrogant now.
“You hear that? I won’t blame you for not knowing the value of things, but there’s a limit to how kind you can be. If you’re not paying for him, you should shut up.”
Madison smiled. “Sure. I can pay 50 dollars for the cleaning fee.”
“Goodness, is Mr. Williams going bankrupt? Why is his wife so stingy? She refuses to pay even a measly 500 thousand dollars.”
“Does Mr. Williams know how stingy she is? I wonder what he likes about her.”
Madison said leisurely, “Calm down, everyone. If this dress is the real deal, I can pay five million dollars for it, let alone 500 thousand dollars. But the point is, this is a counterfeit product.
“500 thousand dollars is enough for someone to work a lifetime for. Why should the janitor pay that sum of money for no good reason?”
“A counterfeit? That can’t be, right? The feel of the fabric indicates that it’s from a major brand.”
“I can only say that it’s a good counterfeit product, but at the end of the day, it’s still a fake.”
Seeing her insistence, Mara was even madder now. “What do you know about these things? What proof do you have to say that my dress is a counterfeit product?”
Placing her hands behind her back, Madison said calmly, “Proof? The proof is that the real dress is in my house right now. This dress is the only one of its kind. How could there be another dress in existence?”
As soon as Madison said that, the gossiping crowd suddenly fell silent.
They could suspect anyone else, but Madison was Mrs. Williams, after all.
Hunter could move an entire mall for her as long as she wanted it, let alone buy her an expensive dress.
Their opinions changed in an instant.
They realized that they had insulted the wrong person.
No one would expect a celebrity to threaten someone with a counterfeit product in public. After all, as soon as she was exposed, she would be done for.
As soon as Mara heard that, she panicked. She had used the same tactic to earn quite a lot in a short amount of time.
She specifically chose common laborers who were poor and without status. They wouldn’t know much about brands, and even if they were at a disadvantage, they wouldn’t dare to expose her.
She had repeated the same tactic today, but she didn’t expect to run into trouble.
Things were getting out of hand. Mara didn’t want this incident to spell the end of her entertainment career.
At her wit’s end, she insisted that her dress was the real deal.
“Who do you think you are? Do you know how difficult it is to buy dresses made by Niko? You don’t know what you’re talking about!”
A cold voice rang out from among the crowd. “She’s my wife, and I was the one who bought the dress for her. Do you have a problem with that?”
The crowd stepped aside to clear a path. Hunter appeared with a dark look on his face.
Mara didn’t know Madison. But she had seen this man who often appeared in the financial and economic section. “Y-You’re… Mr. Williams?”
Hunter strode up to Madison, pulling her into his embrace right away. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I happened to see someone getting bullied, so I helped out.”
After explaining, Madison looked at Mara. “I can show the receipt for the dress, and I also have a photo of the dress hanging in the closet at home. But Ms. Hudson, what evidence can you provide?”
Seeing that Madison was getting serious, Mara had no choice but to keep insisting. “My manager was the one who borrowed it. She has the receipt.”
“Alright, then call your manager over. Ask her where she borrowed it from. She can help support your claim too.”
“S-She just left for some urgent business. I can’t get her here, can I?”
“So, you don’t have any evidence, and you also falsely accused someone and lied about the price. This is extortion, isn’t it?” Mara said nervously, “Extortion? Quit trying to slander me! Fine, I can’t afford to mess with someone high and mighty like you, Mrs. Williams. I’ll just take it as a loss.”
Mara didn’t dare to go up against Hunter. So, she found an excuse and fled the scene.
If this went on, they might figure out that she was wearing a counterfeit. If they wanted to get to the bottom of this incident, she would be done for.
Madison looked at the man at the side, whose head was lowered. “Be more careful next time. If you get into trouble like this in the future, don’t give in so easily.”
“Thank you very much, Miss. You were a huge help.”
After thanking her, the janitor hobbled away.
Madison sighed silently as she watched him leave. There were too many people like him. She could help them once, but she couldn’t help them forever.
Looking away, she was about to leave with Hunter. But then, she noticed that Hunter was still staring at the janitor.
“Do you pity him, Hunter?”
Hunter had a complicated expression on his face as he nodded.
“Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
After the fuss, Madison didn’t want to be the center of attention. So, she left hand-in-hand with Hunter.
When they passed by Kelvin, Hunter whispered an order to him before getting into the car.
“Understood, Mr. Williams.” Kelvin hastily left.
Madison paused in her steps, looking at him. “What’s the matter?”
