“We didn't see anything!” Madilyn smiled mischievously as she feigned ignorance.
The children nodded along. “We didn't either!”
Then, Madilyn attempted to sneak away with the kids as though nothing had happened.
Just as she turned around, Roxanne said, “Come over here. Let's talk.”
Thus, Madilyn twirled around again and saw a resigned expression on her best friend's face.
Roxanne and Lucian, who was slightly displeased, proceeded to sit next to each other on the couch.
Upon hearing their mother's summon, the children rushed over to sit around her.
Only Madilyn was left standing at the entrance of the room.
Glancing at the family of five, she cleared her throat, stepped toward the single-seat couch, and plopped down.
Frowning, Roxanne questioned, “You said you've devised a way to handle the fallout. What do you suggest we do?”
In response, Lucian shifted his line of sight to Madilyn, too.
Madilyn could still sense the cold look in his eyes, so she did her best to ignore him and focus on Roxanne. “It's not that difficult. It just depends if you all are willing to spend some money.”
A perplexed expression was set on Roxanne's countenance.
“We didn't see anything!” Madilyn smiled mischievously as she feigned ignorance.
Meanwhile, Lucian asked, “How much?”
Meanwhile, Lucian asked, “How much?”
After a brief silence, Madilyn said, “Nowadays, news on the internet updates fast. While Farwell Group is an influential entity in Horington, the public still cares more about celebrities.”
