Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 385

The moment Madeline finished speaking, the room erupted with murmurs and whispers.

“What is even happening right now? A birthday party and an engagement party in the same ballroom? That can’t be real.”

“Yeah, who came up with this? Is it some kind of prank?”

Christian’s eyes narrowed as he asked in a tense voice, “What’s going on here?”

Before anyone could answer, Helene shot Christian a wounded look, then spun around to face Madeline, her tone sharp and trembling.

“Madeline, this is my engagement party. Why are you here? Are you trying to ruin it for me?”

She took a shaky breath, her voice almost pleading. “I know you don’t like me, but this is the most important day of my life. Can’t you just leave? Please? No one wants their engagement ruined. Whatever problems we have, can’t we deal with them another time?”

People in the crowd started exchanging glances, some frowning, others whispering. Someone suddenly piped up, “Wait, Madeline? Isn’t she Mr. Grayson’s ex-wife?”

“Oh, that’s right! I thought her name sounded familiar. That explains it. She came here dressed up just to cause trouble.”

“No wonder she looks so over the top. She’s doing this on purpose, trying to make a scene. It’s so petty. She’s already divorced from Mr. Grayson, and now she’s crashing his engagement? How shameless can you get?”

“Seriously, Ms. Monroe, you should just go. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for them, and you’re ruining it. That’s just cruel.”

The judgment in the air was thick. People’s eyes were on Madeline, their voices heavy with blame.

Helene stood there, looking all sad and helpless, but her gaze on Madeline was cold and unwavering.

I’m using the ballroom you spent so much time decorating for my own engagement. I want you to watch as you’re humiliated and thrown out in front of everyone.

Christian’s voice thundered from across the room. “Madeline, if you don’t stop this, I’ll have you removed. Security!”

Two of the Grayson family’s bodyguards immediately stepped forward, their posture unyielding as they motioned for her to leave.

Courtney, standing nearby, added fuel to the fire. “Why are you just standing there? Grab her and drag her out already.”

Madeline shot a look at Helene and her mother. They really were ruthless.

She was wearing an elegant gown. If she got dragged out by two bodyguards, she could end up completely exposed. That’s exactly what they wanted. They wanted to turn her into the biggest laughingstock in the city.
