Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 97

Madison spotted someone in the distance plucking flowers, and she immediately recognized that it was the stretch of jasmine flowers that Julia valued the most at the Hadley residence.

I can’t believe she’s bold enough to pluck the jasmine flowers Helen told me that this designer can design pretty clothes and is good at preparing desserts to please Mrs. Hadley. Is she trying to flatter Mrs. Hadley to win Nathaniel’s heart?

Madison strode over and declared, “Do you know each and every petal here is more important than you are? Who gave you the guts to pluck the flowers?”

Under the mask, Christina’s face had turned dark. So, Madison has been putting up a facade of being gracious in front of Nathaniel all this time? It’s revolting how she jumped to conclusions and rudely questioned me without even bothering to find out what I was really doing!

“I’m not plucking the flowers,” she replied. With the help of the voice changer, her current voice was different from her usual one.

Madison went breathless with anger. “Do you think you own the whole place after staying here for a couple of days? I saw you plucking flowers with my own eyes! You really need me to teach you a lesson so you know your place, huh?”

She raised her hand angrily, intending to slap Christina.

I’m going to slap her and remove her pretentious-looking mask. It’s annoying to see her acting all mysterious by wearing that mask!

Seeing Madison lifting her arm, Christina tensed up as she felt a chill go down her back.

I can’t let Madison remove my mask. I’ll be doomed if she does that.

At the same time, Christina lifted her arm and hastily grabbed Madison’s wrist, effectively stopping the

latter.

An icy glint flashed across her eyes. “Miss, please don’t push your luck!” she warned.

Madison had no idea that the skinny-looking woman would be this strong.

She took a sharp breath, noticing how the woman’s eyes seemed to pierce through her even though. she couldn’t see the latter’s face.

“What’s going on here?” Helen’s voice interrupted the tension in the air that was formed by the two women locking gazes with each other.

Madison trembled slightly and immediately gave Christina a push. She then collapsed to the ground, seemingly having lost her balance.

Her eyes were red as she complained, “Ms. Ada, these flowers are Mrs. Hadley’s favorite. Why did you push me when all I did was tell you not to pluck these flowers?”

Christina scowled. I pushed her? She was the one who pretended to fall to the ground! How dare she blame me for pushing her?

Right then. Julia came over to join them and gave Helen a pointed look.

At once. Helen hurried over to help Madison to her feet.

Madison sniffled gently and explained weakly, “Mrs. Hadley. I’m fine, but your flowers…”

Julia arched a brow and directed an imposing look toward Christina. Clearly, she was waiting for an explanation.

Christina met her gaze calmly and spread her palin open to reveal some withered jasmine flowers.

It was clear what had transpired.

Helen broke the silence. “It’s obvious the flowers are withered, so Ms. Ada didn’t pluck them.”

Christina nodded and explained. “The flowers may have withered, but their fragrance is still intact. I thought it would be a shame to let them go to waste, so I wanted to gather a few to bring back with

me.”

Madison’s face paled when she caught sight of the withered flowers in Christina’s palm.

She was just picking withered flowers? Why didn’t she says earlier? What a scheming woman! I can’t believe she made me look like the bad person here!

Julia gave her a look. “Ms. Ada, do you like these withered flowers? If that’s the case. I’ll ask the housekeeper to pick up some and deliver them to your room every day.”
