Madeline sted her head and smiled. Tin the que and only Madeline Larson. You have to ask Sharon why there are two of me Sharon's expression froze. She mused. "If this matter got out, the Horton family would definitely bear a grudge against her.
Imma wondered if there was a hidden story when she heard Madeline's remarks. She frowned and asked, "Sharon, tell me what's going on! If she is Madeline then who's that girl that I met before? Tell me what you've done now before everyone else! The woman was enraged. The son she cherished most was Nick, and she placed great importance on his marriage. Yet now, she realized Sharon was scheming behind their backs.
Conner and Tiana were confused, too. They stood protectively by the miserable-looking Vanessa, clearly annoyed with Sharon. After all, Sharon had played no small part in how things had ended up like thist
"We're clueless, too. Sharon is solely responsible for the marriage alliance as Mom trusted her completely. Tiana quickly distanced herself from the matter, and added. "We had no involvement at all! She feared getting into trouble again. Vanessa was trembling. She covered her face and cried
Sharon suddenly found herself at the center of public blame. Her face paled with fear. First of all, if she offended the Horton Family, Ruth would definitely stop favoring her. Secondly, if she offended Conner and Tiana, she would suffer at home. The greatest fear she had was pissing Caleb off In a dilemma, the woman said, "1-It's just a misunderstanding. It's Sharon couldn't find a way to excuse herself. The situation was so outrageous that disclosing it would antagonize all three sides, utterly wrecking her future.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nick stood up, stating. "Well, since you spoke, it's my time to talk. He glanced at Madeline first before continuing. "I'm sorry to hurt your reputation. The engagement wasn't with you, nor was the annulment due to you. It was Winslet. He revealed the details about the plastic surgery and the switch
Enima almost fainted. She was furious at the thought of being fooled by Sharon in Acocester. The woman aimed her trembling fingers at Sharon. "You bitch. How dare you manipulate Nick's marriage like this?" She roared. Do you treat his marriage as a personal farce?" Fabian looked gloomy. "What the hell! We hoped this alliance would benefit both our families, but instead, you people humiliated us this way. Well, with this kind of behavior. I doubt anyone will want to ally with you guys in the future."
His words struck a nerve with Conner. The Larson family relied heavily on marriage alliances for many of their business deals. Without them, it would be difficult to maintain their power and influence. He protested, "This was Sharon's own doing and is not reflective of our family's values.
The furious Fabian snorted disdainfully, refusing to listen to Conner's excuses.
Emma gritted her teeth in anger. "Brace yourselves, for I'll ensure everyone in the capital hears about your actions! Plastic surgery and substitute bride, huh? How dare you guys do thist Had it not been for Winslet's mishap, Nick would have fallen victim to your schemes. She glanced at Madeline, the woman Nick had fallen in love with Emma was relieved that they hadn't directly chosen Madeline as the marriage candidate. Otherwise, who knew what Caleb would have done to their family? She realized this was probably the best possible
outcome.
Fabian flicked his arm. I'm calling it a night. Let's head homer
Conner all
attempted to stop them, but Fabian and his family had already stormed off in anger. He sighed, finding the situation dire Meanwhile, the crowd gossiped about what just happened, as having two humiliating incidents in one day made the Larson family a prime subject for gossip
Sharon was filled with regrets when she noticed the frosty expressions on Conner and Tiana's faces.
"Since everything's been cleared up, that's that" Madeline smirked, confident the Larson family would deal with Sharon upon her return. She was certain that the family, who revered power, wouldn't let Sharon off the hook easily. The woman swayed Caleb's arm "Let's go, Caleb."

Caleb glanced at Sharon and gave the bodyguard a meaningful look. Then, he acted like nothing had happened, replying. "Okay. You're tired, right? We should head home now. He put Taking on too many people in one day could upset Madeline, and he didn't want that. It was best to go slow, for Caleb had the patience.
arm around Madeline's shoulder. If Madeline didn't mention Thomas, then he would just ignore him.
After everyone had left. Tiana charged over and slapped Sharon, her hatred palpable. You knew about Madeline's powerful background. Yet, you repeatedly schemed against her and even incited us to offend her! You're despicablet Are you happy now! We have offended both the Horton family and Caleb, All this mess will be the talk of the town tomorrow How are we going to handle it then
Sharon's mouth bled as she tried to suppress the pain. "I didn't know she has Caleb backing her!"
"It's no use talking about this now. Let's just wait for Mom to deal with you." Thus sneered while helping Vanessa. "Come on. Let's get you to the hospital. All the slaps my daughter received today are because of you!" 10:39 AM

Sharon watched them leave with a deep sense of bitterness.
Thomas adjusted his clothes. He had already booked a ticket home. The man walked steadily toward the door. He regretted coming here, but he also felt relief to see Madeline living a happy life now. At least, her situation was better than his own family's. "Thomas, wait"" Connor approached him from behind. "It's been so long since you came back, and you're leaving just like that? Everyone at home misses you, and Mom is concerned about you, too. I've prepared some dishes for your return. You should come back and spend time with us." Despite the earlier chaos, Conner quickly regained his composure, as he was accustomed to handling major crises. The Horton and the Larson. families had too many intertwined interests to sever ties right away, so the immediate goal was to win over Thomas to seek Caleb's forgiveness,
"Misses me?" Thomas still remembered how he was a target of scorn half an hour ago. "You are so hypocritical, so just drop the act. Let me be honest with you. Madeline hates me and won't forgive the Larson family on my account. Your attempts to gain my support are pointless."
Conner didn't think so. There was no overnight enmity between a father and a daughter. Even with some disputes, family ties would mend quickly. If Madeline truly didn't care about Thomas, she wouldn't have stood up for him publicly. And so, he continued, Tm not saying this for show. It's a genuine invitation. Thomas, we haven't shared a drink in ages. Mom could give you the 600 thousand dollars you asked for."
