Chapter 234
Although Minerva was a bit more mature than other kids her
age because she had been competing everywhere since she
was little.
But in the end, she was still just a kid.
Right now, she wasn’t hiding any of her emotions, just sticking
up for Madeleine relentlessly.
“She’s not that amazing, is she? Does she have to put other
people down like that?”
“Hmph, my teacher said that even if we become successful, we
shouldn’t be arrogant, because there are always people better
than us.”
Madeleine’s heart felt warm.
A few months ago, this girl Minerva would look at her with
disgust.
Now it was like she’d had a complete change of personality.
No, wait…
Chapter 234
She thought, rubbing her nose in embarrassment.
It seemed like she was the only one who had a change of personality from the beginning.
Just as she was thinking that, Roderick called: It turned out he
was coming from the office, which was close, and was planning
to pick them up directly.
“Let’s go, Roderick is here.”
Madeleine said, making a point to add, “Don’t tell Roderick about this unpleasant business, okay?”
Most importantly, she didn’t want to talk about Leona with
Roderick again.
Minerva completely ignored her, following along with a puffy,
sullen face.
The result was, as soon as she got in the car, the girl spilled
everything.
“Roderick, Madeleine just got bullied!”
Roderick had just noticed Madeleine’s lips looked a little dry
and was twisting open a bottle of mineral water for her.

Hearing this, his hands paused, and a cold glint flashed in his
eyes.
“What did you say?”
“Minerva, hey, I told you not to say anything. It’s nothing
serious.”
Madeleine put a hand to her forehead, completely exasperated.
Roderick reached out and held Madeleine’s hand, then gave
Minerva a look to continue.
The young woman rattled off a description of what had just
happened, making Roderick’s brow furrow slightly.
“Who was that judge?”
“Leona.”
Roderick’s frown deepened.
What a coincidence. Just a couple of days ago, Madeleine had
mentioned this person, and Roderick had only then learned that
she had misunderstood him for all these years because of
Leona.
Enemies always cross paths, and here they were again.

Roderick squeezed Madeleine’s palm and asked in a low voice,
“Did what she said upset you?”
“No…”
“Tell the truth.”
There was an undeniable authority in Roderick’s voice.
Madeleine, feeling a bit helpless, could only nod.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the car froze.
She knew Roderick would react like this. Madeleine glanced at
Minerva, giving her a look.
【See? This is what my husband is like when he gets mad.】
Madeleine felt a bit helpless. She sighed and decided to just be
honest.
“Yeah, I’m not happy.
But it’s not all because of her.”
Roderick didn’t say anything, just listened quietly, waiting for
Madeleine to continue.

“What Leona said to me… it wasn’t nice to hear, but most of it
was true.”
She was the one who gave up dancing.
Whether she wanted to or not, that was a fact now.
Madeleine forced a smile.
“Honestly, if I were Leona, I’d probably be even more worked up
than she was. After all…”
After all, they really were good rivals back in the day.
Minerva was young and didn’t understand her cousin’s
complicated feelings.
She just thought it was a nasty comment, and her cousin didn’t
deserve to be talked to like that.
Madeleine didn’t continue, just noticed Roderick’s eyes were
filled with heartache for her.
She quickly smiled and took Roderick’s arm.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that. You’re making me look so pitiful. I’m doing great, aren’t I? I have a handsome husband and
a cute son.”
