Chapter 19
With a lot of people present at the party, Sherry’s behavior in public was really not decent. Madeleine unconsciously stepped back and wanted to keep her distance from Sherry
Gilda shook the champagne in her glass and walked to Sherry and Madeleine. She said sarcastically, “What? Your sister–in–law is in trouble. Are you going to run away?”
“What are you doing?” An angry voice sounded.
Everyone in the crowd tumed sideways and saw Jensen walking towards them with a strong aura. He was wearing a black suit and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Jensen saw Gilda at once.
They had not seen each other for days. Gilda seemed to be a little plumper, much better than when she was in the Harrington residence.
Standing in the center of the light, Gilda smiled charmingly and wore a customized dress. Her skin looked fair as if she had changed completely, deeply attracting Jensen’s attention.
Sherry immediately became more aggressive when she saw her brother coming. She pointed to Gilda and Megan and said, “Jensen, they bullied me.”
Seeing Sherry’s smeared makeup and Madeleine’s awkward expression, Jensen glanced around. Those mocking voices quieted immediately.
Jensen said, “So many people bully her? How shameless.”
“Whatever you think.” Gilda didn’t want to talk with him. She smiled and said, “Your sister’s virtue… You should know better than I do.”
Gilda didn’t mind being a bad person.
Siding with Gilda, Megan said, “Hurry up and let your sister leave. You guys are not welcome to my party!”
The onlookers were all bystanders and said angrily.
“What? Obviously, it’s this girl who hurt people first.”
“True! What a mean girl! She called Gilda a hen that can’t lay eggs!”
“Hilarious! She kept threatening to call the police, but she immediately gave in after they splashed a glass of wine on her.”
Jensen frowned slightly. He knew Sherry’s personality to some extent. After listening to the onlookers, he asked Sherry. “Are they telling the truth?”
Sherry lowered her head and did not dare to defend herself.
When Madeleine saw that it was time to get closer to Jensen and threw dirt on Gilda’s name, she immediately changed her look into a pathetic one and said softly, “Jensen, it’s my fault. I failed to keep an

eye on Sherry, so she had a conflict with Ms. Lynch. Sherry indeed said something wrong first.”

Then she turned around and apologized to Gilda. “Ms. Lynch, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you married Jensen when I was with him. If I had another chance, I would never intervene in your marriage.
“Please let go of the hatred. About the expo… Don’t make things more difficult for Harrington Corporation, okay?”
Madeleine’s eyes were bright and gentle, which made people feel pity for her. Even what she said was a little convincing, deepening the impression that Gilda deliberately took revenge on the Harrington Corporation.
Perhaps ordinary people would be bewildered by her “reasonable” words, but this trick didn’t work for Gilda and Megan.
Megan pointed to Madeleine’s nose and said, “You are so ridiculous. You destroyed Gilda’s marriage and now you pretend to be ignorant and pitiful. I just hate you.”
Then Megan picked up the wine bottle on the table and was about to hit Madeleine’s head.
