Madeline frowned slightly. This was unexpected. Hannah was more arrogant than Madeline had thought.
This girl seemed to only be in her twenties, but her temper was truly ferocious.
However, her willfulness might also be due to her youth.
It was still working hours, and there were not many people in the lobby downstairs of the company, but Hannah was crying and shrieking very loudly.
Madeline walked over, clicking her heels, exuding a very domineering aura.
Some confused employees were recording videos with their mobile phones. When they saw Madeline coming, they immediately put down their phones and pretended to be busy with their work.
Hannah, too, saw Madeline coming, but she did not stop making a fuss.
With a sad look on her face, she lifted her eyes, pretending to only have seen Madeline now, and then she suddenly turned and ran towards Madeline.
As soon as she ran up to Madeline, she grabbed Madeline’s sleeves, and with a sob, she said, “Miss Montgomery, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have comforted Mr. Whitman when you quarreled with him. Also, I shouldn’t have done anything delirious with Mr. Whitman. I was wrong. I hope you won’t get someone to make a move against me again. I really know that I was wrong! ”
“I know that my behavior with Mr. Whitman upsets you, but I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know that Mr. Whitman was married. I met him in St. Piaf and I genuinely like him, but now I know I was wrong, and I will never see Mr. Whitman again. I hope you’ll let me and the child in my womb go.”
Hannah’s accusations, her words resembling a beg for mercy, stunned the employees who were watching this drama unfold. This scene also stunned Coco, the secretary, who stood beside Madeline.
Madeline, too, was astonished.
Madeline looked at Hannah. The latter looked upset, yet her eyes were filled with joy and bad intentions. Suddenly, Madeline then smiled and spoke.
“Miss Bolton, you…”
