Chapter 209
When she was busy with the company’s registration
documents, Rebecca would help her out.
When she went to dance practice, Rebecca would pull up a
chair and play games in the corner of the studio.
When she spent time with Kevin, Rebecca was there too.
After a few days of this, Rebecca felt like the way Roderick
looked at her was filled with daggers.
She didn’t care. The moment Roderick looked ready to kick her
out, she would run to Madeleine’s side.
Madeleine was very soft–hearted. The second Rebecca looked
dejected, she would immediately drop what she was doing to
comfort her.
This feeling… was pretty great.
No wonder Roderick wanted to marry her.
One day, Madeleine received a call from Jason’s father, who
said he had gifted her the two floors of office space.

Madeleine was surprised to hear this, and after a moment’s
hesitation, she declined.
“That’s not necessary, Mr. Klein. I do want to set up my
company in Heng Rong, but you don’t have to gift it to me. I can
rent it at market price.”
Mr. Klein was a little awkward, thinking Madeleine hadn’t
forgiven them yet.
“Mrs. Livingston, please don’t refuse. It’s just two floors. It
would be our honor for you to use them.”
“Don’t say that. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t like owing
people favors. If you’re sincere, Mr. Klein, please have the
manager I was in contact with before draft a new lease for me.”
Mr. Klein finally sighed, “Alright, we’ll do as you wish, Mrs.
Livingston.”
After hanging up, Madeleine noticed Rebecca staring at her
with her chin in her hands.
“What’s up?”
“If I were you, I would’ve accepted. It’s a free gift, why turn it
down?”

Then she smiled and added, “But then again, that’s what I like
about you.”
She could easily take advantage of her status as Mrs.
Livingston, but she insists on having principles and boundaries.
Not greedy, not arrogant. A personality like that is a rarity in
tycoon society.
“The bidding conference is tomorrow. Are you nervous?”
Rebecca’s question pulled Madeleine out of her work thoughts.
She had almost forgotten.
The trap she and Roderick had set for Edward a month ago was
finally ready to be sprung.
“What’s there to be nervous about? If he’s really willing to jump
into this trap, it just means…”
။
He’s not a very successful protagonist of a male–oriented web
novel.
“Means what?”
Madeleine grinned. “It means he’s stupid.”

Rebecca couldn’t help but smile. After all, in her eyes,
Madeleine was like a sweet, soft little cake.
Hearing a curse word come from the little cake’s mouth.
It meant that guy was really easy to hate.
Sometimes she even felt a little dazed, wondering if it was
really true that Madeleine used to chase after Edward all the
time.
“Come on, I’m in a good mood today. Let’s go shopping.”
Hearing Rebecca say that, Madeleine cheered up too.
It hadn’t been easy. For the past two days, she had tried
everything but couldn’t cheer her up much.
Today, it finally worked.
Inside the mall.
Madeleine was strolling through the mall with a coffee in her
hand, her arm linked with Rebecca’s.
Walking up to a luxury store, Madeleine casually pointed at the

new items in the window display. “Rebecca, pick whatever you
want. I’ll buy it for you.”
“Oh, come on. You keep that money for your startup. It’s not like
I can’t afford it.”
Madeleine chuckled, and when she looked up, she spotted a
familiar figure.
“What is it?”
Rebecca followed her gaze.
Through the tinted glass wall, they could see Mary eagerly
adjusting an heiress’s collar, holding three or four shopping
bags.
She was wearing an eye–catching magenta suit today, her pearl
necklace glinting under the display lights as she leaned in to
