Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 148

Madeleine raised an eyebrow and blinked a couple of times.

“That’s such a coincidence. My husband was the one who

picked this restaurant for me.”

Fiona’s expression faltered.

She admitted to herself that she had come over, all poised and

graceful, just to see Madeleine lose her cool.

After all, based on past experience, whenever she showed up,

Madeleine’s gaze would shoot toward her like daggers.

On the surface, the four secretaries maintained their

professional smiles, but they were frantically exchanging

glances.

They didn’t know about other things, but they used to watch the

drama unfold every day over the past rumors between Chase

and that Mr. Carroll.

They’d heard that Chase used to chase Mr. Carroll relentlessly…

was completely obsessed…

But looking at her now, that didn’t seem to be the case, right?

Chapter 148

Chase is so in love with her own CEO now!

Fiona’s expression quickly returned to normal as she stepped

forward with her wine glass.

“Seeing you doing so well now, Madeleine, I’m really happy for

you.”

“For me?”

Madeleine put on an innocent smile.

“But I don’t think you and I know each other well, Fiona.”

“We don’t, but in the past… you did like Edward, after all,

Madeleine.”

The moment Fiona said that, the air in the entire restaurant

seemed to freeze.

The four secretaries all gasped, and Sophia’s fork clattered

onto her plate.

But Madeleine started laughing, a crisp and pleasant sound, as

if she’d heard a really funny joke.

“Fiona.”

Chapter 148

She rested her chin on one hand, her eyes curving into

crescents. “You’re saying I like Edward?”

Fiona was taken aback by this reaction and nodded

instinctively. “Everyone in high society knows…”

“Is that so.”

Madeleine picked up her phone and searched online for gossip

about Fiona.

A few baseless, slanderous headlines made Fiona’s expression

darken a bit.

She knew what Madeleine meant; she was denying that she had

ever liked Edward.

“They’re just rumors, you can’t believe them. Don’t look so

upset, Fiona. I don’t believe them.”

After saying that, Madeleine gave a brilliant smile and looked at

her secretaries. “What do you all think?”

Teresa and the others naturally sided with Madeleine, chiming

in all at once.

“That’s right, the internet is such a mess these days, people will

say anything.”

“I’ll make a note of anyone who believes this fake news and sell

them snake oil later.”

“Our boss and Mr. Livingston have such a great relationship, why would she be interested in anyone else?”

“Exactly.”

Madeleine was quite pleased to hear this, tilting her head with a

smile and blinking a couple of times at Fiona.

Fiona’s previously gentle expression was finally starting to

crack, and her hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly.

What was wrong with her?

To do something so irrational.

Before, she had never considered Madeleine worth her notice.

But at the last banquet, she saw Edward go to Madeleine, saw

the undisguised admiration in his eyes, and for some reason,

she panicked…

Fiona felt like a clown right now.

Chapter 148

She didn’t say anything else, just forced an ugly smile.

“That’s great, then. I wish Madeleine and Mr. Livingston a long

and happy marriage.”

With that, she tilted her head back and finished the red wine in

her hand.

When Fiona got back to her seat, her hand wasn’t steady, and

her wine glass hit the table hard.

She was trying her best to control her emotions, but she still

couldn’t.

“That Madeleine is just too much!”

The woman next to her clenched her fist angrily, “Everyone

knows how she used to chase after Mr. Carroll. Who is she

trying to fool acting all high and mighty now?”

“Fiona, should we teach her a lesson?”

Fiona shot her a cold look.

“Don’t cause trouble. Just eat!”
