Chapter 506 Exchange
“Christina, enough with the charade. Now that I’m out of the picture, you can finally have Nathaniel all to yourself. Shouldn’t you design a gown for me? You’re making me question whether you truly love Nathaniel at all. It seems he’s fallen for the wrong woman!” Madison’s eyes were red as she stared at Christina incredulously. She hadn’t anticipated that her request would be turned down.
“Madison, Nathaniel and I are married. We’ll be together forever regardless of your presence,” Christina replied slowly.
Madison felt a stab in her heart hearing the word “married.”
She gripped her fists, suppressing the intense surge of anger and jealousy within her.
Christina continued, “Besides, many people want me to design their gowns. I get to choose who my
customers are.”
She was quite surprised to see Madison’s reaction. What is Madison trying to tamp down?
“Christina, are you saying you choose not to serve me? What right do you have to do that?” Madison. exploded.
Her sudden outburst echoed throughout the entire studio, causing Rayne to jolt in shock. She feared that a physical altercation had taken place.
She quickly rushed over to the glass walls, pressing her face against them to get a closer look, only to see that Christina and Madison were simply locked in a tense stare-down.
“You were the one who came here to my studio.” Christina seemed calm and composed.
The gentle but firm look in her gaze made Madison tense up.
Yes, I was the one who came here in search of Christina.
Madison took a deep breath and began to calm down. “If I provide evidence of Anya harming you, will you design my gown in exchange?”
“You know her?” Christina narrowed her eyes in surprise.
Madison flashed a mocking grin. “Christina, you’ve offended many people who want you dead.”
Madison was unaware of any details of the deep-seated grudge between Christina and Anya, but she had received a call from Anya the previous night.
Anya had proposed another collaboration and mentioned her plan to sue Christina, hoping to see her behind bars.
However, Madison had declined Anya’s offer, as their previous collaboration had ended on a sour note. Previously, when she arrived at the resort, she didn’t even get to see Nathaniel.
It was all due to Anya’s own mistake, which inadvertently led to Christina and Nathaniel reuniting.
“Why would you give me the evidence?” Christina pondered the situation for a moment and came to the
realization that it wasn’t entirely surprising for Madison to be acquainted with Anya.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is a friend
Since they both joined hands, tehy did Madison come to my studio to tell me thu?
“Never mind, then. If you don’t want it, I won’t give it to you.” Madison snapped, realizing she had been
too hasty in offering the evidence, which resulted in arousing Christina’s suspicions.
Raising her chin, she stalked out of the office and grabbed her bag on the couch to leave.
Christina didn’t go after Madison as she knew the latter was playing hard to get.
However, she couldn’t figure out why Madison had come to ask for her help to design a gown.
After watching Madison stalk away, Rayne came into her office and asked worriedly, “Christina, did she come here to pick on you? Should we inform Mr. Hadley?”
Christina shook her head and reminded, “Don’t tell Nathaniel about this.”
Nathaniel was busy handling the Gibson family’s lawsuit, so she decided to handle Madison’s matter
herself.
She believed Madison would pay a visit yet again a few days later.
“Okay.” Rayne bobbed her head. I need to tell the security guards to deny her entry so she won’t be able to come upstairs.
Madison’s visit was a small interlude that didn’t affect Christina at all.
Despite not receiving any new orders in the past few days, she remained dedicated to her work.
Lately, she had been struck by a wave of inspiration, so she had begun sketching out her new ideas, taking her time to bring them to life.
