Madge walked to the desk and sat down, with a puzzled look on her face.
Linda raised her head and did not say anything else. She threw the file bag beside her to Madge and said, "Take a look at this first."
Madge showed a look of suspicion, but she opened the file bag as Linda said. There was a stack of files in it. Apparently, they were from a private detective. Madge began to read it.
In just a few minutes, Madge's face had changed a few times.
After the last page, Madge heavily slammed the file bag on top of the table, and her voice was a little shaky. "Mom, does Dad know about this?"
"Of course he doesn't!" Linda immediately got up and said.
The Gray family's overseas business was doing well, her husband had launched many projects in Europe and lived there all year round in recent years. Her husband would only come back for New Year's Eve or important events. What's more, Linda would never tell her husband.
Madge looked at the files on the desk again, and suddenly picked them up. She tore them apart quickly and threw them into the trash can. "Mom, I was going to marry Charlie, and I won't give up easily! Now, it's impossible for me to let go of him!" Linda walked over to her daughter, patted her daughter on the shoulder, and nodded. A fierce light flashed across her eyes.
Back in the room, Madge paced back and forth in front of the French window.
Something flashed in her eyes. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
When the line went through, she said with a soft voice.
"Ewan, it's me."
Madge sighed. After a few seconds of pause, she asked in a low voice, "Can you come out with me for a moment?"
It was late at night, in a noisy bar.
When Ewan drove over, there were people calling him all the way in. He didn't have time to talk to those guys tonight, so he went to find Madge one by one at the table. Finally, he found her, who was alone in the corner, holding a glass of wine.
Seeing her pouring wine into the glass, with her long, curly hair down, he hurried forward and said, "Madge, why do you drink alone in such a place?"
The sound of music was deafening. Madge didn't seem to hear it and directly poured the wine into her mouth.
"Madge, you can't drink like this!" Ewan grabbed her glass.
In Ewan's eyes, Madge was always so elegant. She should be in a high-end banquet instead of a noisy bar. It was totally an insult for her.
Madge seemed to have drunk a lot and raised her head. "Ewan, are you here?"
"What's wrong? Something bad happened?" Ewan frowned and asked. There was an unconcealable concern in his expression.
"Well, I just want to drink!"
"Was it because of Charlie?"
Seeing Madge's silence, Ewan confirmed his suspicions and sighed. "I knew that no one would let you lose your temper like this but him! Madge, you can't keep drinking anymore. Didn't the doctor tell you your stomach was fragile!"
"Ewan, I feel so bad, so sad!" Madge lay on the table and said.
Ewan's hand that hung down made a fist, and then he said in a depressed voice, "Madge, he's not the only son of the Hogg's Group. Why don't you..."
He was interrupted by Madge before he could finish his words. "Ewan, you know how much I like Charlie!

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
