Chapter 83
It had been an hour since they left the office.
Noticing Carrie staring at her with a conflicted expression, Madelyn smiled and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Are you in need of money?”
The question had been nagging at Carrie ever since Madelyn’s conversation about money with Jackson.
After all, Carrie knew Madelyn was married to the wealthy Miller family’s heir.
The designer outfit she sported was undoubtedly a custom creation by Andrew himself, likely crafted by the world’s premier fashion house. The watch that Madelyn was wearing cost millions of dollars.
So, why was she discussing money with Jackson earlier?
Madelyn looked at Carrie with a hint of amusement. “Just because I’m not strapped for cash doesn’t mean I shouldn’t
ask for it,” she countered.
“You asked for two million dollars.”
Although two million dollars was insignificant to Madelyn, it felt like a blatant exploitation for a simple defense system upgrade.
“Jackson is rich. It’ll be a waste not to get money from him. I’m hungry, so let’s grab a bite.”
“It will be your treat!”
Carrie hurried to catch up with Madelyn. The latter shot her a withering glance but said nothing.
Carrie smiled. “I got you a huge deal that had netted you two million dollars in just an hour!”
Madelyn scoffed. “That’s thanks to my skills!”
Carrie nodded, teasing her as she drove. “Luckily, you’re a full- time housewife. With your skills, you could put many people
out of business.”
Madelyn’s stomach growled ferociously, leaving her with no energy to respond to Carrie.
Just then, Madelyn received a call from Andrew. “Have you reached Lotivale?” she asked.
“I’ve just arrived. David said you left the house without having breakfast.”
“Carrie needed my help with an urgent matter, so I just came out to grab a quick bite. Don’t worry about me.”
