Madeleine who was in the crowd immediately panicked. She clenched the hem of her skirt and looked
nervous.
Madeleine murmured, “Grandpa.” She was pleading, fearing that Derek would give up on her in public.
Derek had already made his decision.
He knew what was more important to him. Donovan Real Estate was his life’s work and he had already made a choice.
Derek said, “Don’t worry. Ms. Lynch. I will make Madeleine pay for what she has done.
At this moment, Derek had to behave humbly and obsequiously in front of Gilda.
Gilda stuck her chin out slightly and said nothing.
Without hesitation, Derek pulled Madeleine out of the crowd and shouted at Madeleine, “Apologize to Ms. Lynch immediately.”
Madeleine said unwillingly, “Grandpa.” She was still struggling.
Madeleine thought apologizing to Gilda in front of so many people was too humiliating and she would be laughed at by everyone in the upper class.
Derek’s patience was wearing thin. He said, “Now.”
Madeleine knew that if she didn’t apologize, she would be most likely abandoned by Derek. As an abandoned one of her family, she would lose everything.
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to forget her pride and self–esteem.
Madeleine said to Gilda, “I’m sorry.”
Megan snorted, “You’ve done so many bad things. Do you think you can make it up to Gilda with an apology? Do you know that Gilda almost died because of you?” As soon as Megan said this, people. discussed it with each other even louder.
Some of them started to make comments too, “Mr. Donovan is unrealistic. She plotted a car accident. She is a criminal.
“If an apology means anything, why do we need the police?”
“If I were Ms. Lynch, I would call the police and send her to prison. She is a home wrecker! I wouldn’t allow her to be so arrogant.”

Listening to people’s discussion, Madeleine turned pale. She looked awful now.
Madeleine shouted at the crowd, “I’m not a home–wrecker. Stop your nonsense.” She wanted to prove her words. She looked around to find Jensen.
Soon, her eyes were fixed on Jensen.
Madeleine strode forward and grabbed Jensen’s arm as if holding on to a lifesaver.
Madeleine said, “Jensen, explain to everyone that I’m not a home–wrecker at all. When I met you, you didn’t even know Gilda’s name.”
Jensen was still composed. He frowned at Gilda. His indifferent attitude deeply hurt Madeleine.
Jensen was heartless.
He even shook Madeleine off in front of everyone.
Madeleine said, “Jensen… Suddenly, she slipped. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen but she didn’t care about it at all now.
