Madeline was already taken aback when she heard Liliana was getting married.
She found it odd, since Lucius certainly didn't look like he wanted to marry Liliana again.
When she fully understood Eleanor's meaning, Madeline burst into laughter.
"Is this supposed to be something to boast about?"
Her clear voice rang out.
Accompanied by a chuckle.
Liliana was standing nearby.
"Madeline, what do you mean? Are you laughing at me?"
Millicent and Eleanor frowned deeply.
They were in the middle of discussing serious matters, and they were incredibly displeased that Madeline—a mere female companion, an accessory to a wealthy family, someone with such a lowly, impoverished background—dared to speak up.
But Madeline had no intention of stopping.
"Liliana, of course I'm laughing at you. You have absolutely no morals. You meddled in my marriage, turned your wedding with my ex-husband into a total joke, and now you're marrying my former father-in-law? If I remember correctly, when you two hooked up, my ex-father-in-law was still a married man. Someone as morally corrupt, shameless, and disgraceful as you actually has the nerve to throw a grand wedding. Who else would I laugh at?"
The two old women's faces drastically changed.
Millicent was furious. "How dare a cheap little thing like you speak like that! Miss Lansbury comes from a noble background and is your husband's sister! What right do you have to..."
"If I say she has the right, she has the right!" Quentin cut Millicent off.
Anger flashed across his face.
His eyes were filled with fury and a dark warning.
Startled, Millicent instinctively looked away.
