Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 263

Helene lifted her skirt and hurried to catch up, determined not to let Madeline outpace her. She sidled up and gave a mocking little laugh. “What a coincidence, Ms. Monroe. You’re here for the party too?”

Raine, standing beside her, rolled her eyes and shot a look full of attitude. “Madeline, who invited you? What makes you think you belong here?”

Madeline let out a sigh and shot back, “How is this your business?”

Seriously, why did these two have to start something every single time they saw her? Did they have nothing better to do?

She really didn’t feel like getting into it tonight, so she picked up her pace, hoping to leave them behind.

Raine wasn’t ready to let it go. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She started after Madeline, but Helene sent her a glare, silently telling her to back off.

“You never win when you go after her. Do you want another beatdown? Haven’t you had enough?” Helene’s voice was sharp and dismissive.

Raine’s bravado fizzled out fast. “I…” She trailed off, remembering just how tough Madeline could be. Honestly, neither of them could handle her when things got messy.

All they could do now was watch Madeline walk away.

Helene shot Raine another withering glance. “Control yourself. This isn’t your house. Don’t embarrass me in public.”

Raine bit her lip, nodding even though her eyes still burned with resentment.

Helene straightened up, smoothed her skirt, and walked into the party, all elegance and poise.

Madeline reached the entrance, and a hotel staff member greeted her. “Miss, may I see your invitation, please?”

She nodded, reaching into her clutch. She rummaged through it, but after a moment her face tightened. Oh no.

Brenda had her invitation.

“Just a second,” Madeline said, moving off to the side to call Brenda. Before she could dial, Helene’s voice rang out behind her.
