Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

She gave a slight smile. “Sorry, but my principles won’t allow me

to be such a doormat.”

The companion of the woman with the twisted ankle went to

support her, her face showing her embarrassment.

“Who was gossiping? Everyone knows you like Mr. Carroll,

following him around like a puppy. You…”

“You’re mistaken.”

Madeleine cut her off, her voice even, her gaze so clear it left

the two with nowhere to hide.

“I’m not interested in him. I have a husband and a child, a happy

marriage, and a wonderful family. If you’re saying this about me

because of Edward…”

Madeleine paused, then chuckled lightly. “Then I’d have to question your upbringing. After all, the education I received

taught me not to belittle other women over any man.”

After speaking, Madeleine glanced down at the woman’s ankle,

which was already red and swollen.

“You should get that checked at a hospital. A sprain like that, if

you don’t let it heal properly, it could cause permanent

problems. You won’t be able to wear high heels anymore.”

After Madeleine’s crystal–clear words, the two women fell silent,

as if their acupuncture points had been hit, standing frozen in

place for a long time.

Upbringing.

Yes, what about their upbringing?

They were both heiresses from prominent families, having

received good educations since childhood.

How could they say such ugly things over a man?

By the time they came to their senses, Madeleine was already

far away.

Meanwhile, someone by Roderick’s side told him what had just

happened at the entrance.

Roderick’s expression changed slightly. He said his goodbyes to a few executives and hurriedly turned to leave.

He happened to run into Madeleine at the door. Roderick

frowned and stepped forward to examine her closely.

“Are you hurt?”

“Why would I be hurt?”

Madeleine smiled, and copying the others, she took Roderick’s

arm.

Their outfits complemented each other, and standing together,

they looked like a picture from a magazine, drawing many

glances.

Among them was Edward, who was chatting with his friends

nearby.

He looked up, his deep, dangerous gaze cutting through the

crowd to land on her, carefully studying the woman.

Madeleine looked very different today.

“Is that… Mr. Livingston and Mrs. Livingston?”

Someone nearby spoke, and only then did Edward look away, a faint smile hiding the feelings in his eyes.

“I heard that Mrs. Livingston has admired Mr. Carroll for a long

time. Our Mr. Carroll is truly one of a kind, making countless

women fall for him.”

“Hey, don’t say that, or Fiona will get angry later.”

Fiona heard their conversation and smilingly linked her arm with

Edward’s.

“Why would I be angry?

Edward is so outstanding, it’s only normal for people to admire

him.”

After speaking, she glanced in Madeleine’s direction.

“It’s just that it’s a bit much for a married woman to still be

joining in on the fun. Don’t you think so, Edward?”

Fiona smiled and turned her head, expecting Edward to agree

with her, but his gaze was cold, and he glanced at her without a

word.

For a moment, Fiona was at a loss.

Did I say something wrong just now?

He seems to be angry.

The business partners nearby noticed the awkward atmosphere

and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, I heard Mr. Livingston’s side isn’t planning to bid on

the North City Science Park project?

He’s so young, after all. So shortsighted.”

“Not necessarily shortsighted. He probably knows our Mr.

Carroll is determined to win it and got scared.”

As they spoke, all sorts of eager, flattering words tumbled out,

and they raised their glasses to toast Edward.

Edward had long grown tired of such flattery.

He listlessly clinked glasses with them, then made an excuse
