Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 73

Madison shook off Sebastian’s hand. “What are you doing? Why didn’t you stop Mr. Hadley from messing up the plan for a woman?”

The moment she stepped out of the office, she had a hunch.

Nathaniel was definitely not the type to change his mind on a whim.

He had done that for Christina.

Sebastian let out a light sigh. “Since you already know, just go along with Mr. Hadley’s wishes. Do you think you can stop him?”

After saying that, he walked away to prepare what was needed.

Madison stood there, dumbfounded. She felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Right. How could I possibly change anything with my own strength alone?

After work, Madison went to a quiet bar near her condominium to have a drink and unwind.

Madison sat in a vacant corner. The laughter of men and women came from the table behind her, starkly contrasting her current mood..

She ordered a strong drink and downed it in one gulp

The fiery taste burned her throat, but she ordered a second glass.

Whenever she thought of everything Nathaniel did for Christina, she felt like the alcohol in her stomach was nothing compared to the bitterness in her heart.

Madison and Nathaniel first met in junior high. From the moment she laid eyes on him, she fell deeply

in love.

After she secretly admired him for so many years, he was snatched away by someone before she could even confess her feelings.

This was a hard pill to swallow for Madison.

Just then, a tall figure appeared from the private room.

The man was tall and slender with long legs and perfect proportions. As he emerged from the shadows, he resembled a high-end fashion model in fashion week.

When he walked into the light, his handsome face came into view. He had upturned, ebony eyes, and his feathery lashes cast shadows on his face.

He exuded a captivating aura that could be felt even from a distance.

The man gradually approached Madison and stopped beside her.

“Isn’t it a bit-unsafe for a girl to be drinking alone in a bar?” His deep voice interjected:

Madison quickly hid her dejected expression and looked up. She recognized him right away and asked,

“Francis, what are you doing here?”

“One of my artists just won the best actor award, so I brought them here to celebrate.”

Francis Fernando sat down next to Madison and ordered a glass of whiskey.

“I saw the news,” he commented. Nathaniel had been appearing in the news from time to time lately, and Francis often watched them.

Madison’s eyes narrowed slightly, her emotions unreadable.

Following a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke up. “I can help you if you want, but on one condition. Help me get rid of that woman.”

Nathaniel had been growing more and more distant from Madison recently, and no matter what she did, it didn’t seem to work.

If Christina disappears from Nathaniel’s side, would the old Nathaniel return? Even if I can’t get close to him, I’d be content with watching him from afar and silently standing by his side…

“I’ll think about it,” Francis said before walking away

Meanwhile, Christina was in the store. She had bustled around there all morning, spent the entire evening tweaking designs, and reviewed their sales for the whole month.

She was so tired that she saw double every time she spotted a black object.

Suddenly, Janet squealed as she excitedly ran in from the entrance. “Ms. Steele, there’s an incredibly handsome guy looking for you at the door.”

Handsome guy? Is Nathaniel here?

Christina put down her work and walked out.

“Christina, am I disrupting your work?”

A man’s clear and bright voice reached her ears, and Christina’s anticipating smile shifted into a surprised grin.

“Brayden, how did you know I work here?”
