Chapter 96
Celine received a call from her brother on the way home. “Celine, you useless b*tch! I called the game company, and they said they refunded all the money to you. Hurry up and transfer me the money!
“How will I play the game without any skins? My teammates don’t want to team up with me anymore!”
“Then play fewer games and study more,” Celine said coldly.
“What’s the point of studying? I’m a genius gamer! Don’t get in the way of me getting rich! If you don’t transfer the money to me, I’ll complain to Mom and Dad!”
Celine hung up the phone and blocked his number. Soon after, her parents called and yelled at her.
Lisa stood by and listened, thankful she did not have a younger brother.
Meanwhile, at the Fill Residence, Madison had not left the house for days. She heard from the ser vants that Quince had compensated the delivery person with three thousand dollars, which made her furious.
She drove to the company to find Quince. Then, she cried in anger, “Quince, are you insane? I’m the victim here. My birthday party was ruined, and my friends saw me getting cake all over my face!
“They didn’t say anything to me, but they were making fun of me behind my back. How could you pay that delivery person? Who does she think she is? I didn’t even ask her to pay me back for the cake, and that’s already being considerate.”
Quince was always afraid of his sister crying, and the sight of it gave him a headache. “Madison, don’t make things difficult for me. She’s a friend of Leonard’s wife. Didn’t you see how unhappy Leonard was?”
“Their marriage is a joke. No one in the Parker family takes her seriously.” Madison angrily continued, “Did you see how arrogant she was? That cake could have suffocated me.”
Quince lowered his head. Despite her spoiled behavior, Madison was someone they cherished in the family. Seeing her in such
a miserable state made him distressed.
“Alright. Even if Leonard doesn’t like his wife, his family would still be ashamed if there was a big fuss about it. Even our parents wouldn’t want to cause any trouble with them. Let it go, Madison. Try to control your temper. The delivery girl is also going through a tough time-”
“I won’t listen! I refuse!” Madison stormed off before Quince finished speaking.
She returned home and got angrier as she thought about the situation. She wanted to find someone to deal with Lisa. Just then, the maid informed her that Stephanie had come to see her.
Madison rushed to greet her. “Steph, what brings you here?”
“I heard something happened to you, so I came to see you.” Stephanie held Madison’s hand and looked at her face with concern. “Does it still hurt?”
“It hurts a lot. I almost can’t stand it.” Madison did not expect Stephanie to know about the incident. The news must have spread.
She stomped on the ground. “Steph, did you know that the b*tch who smashed the cake on my face is Leonard’s new wife? That status should belong to you. I won’t let her get away with this.”
“I’ve only met Lisa twice.” Stephanie’s eyes flickered with concern as she spoke. “Don’t be impulsive. She’s not easy to mess with. She made things difficult for Melissa and even drove Michelle out of the house.”
Madison was taken aback because she had met Michelle before.
Michelle was only a few years younger than Madison’s mother, and she was both majestic and ruthless. Madison could not believe that Lisa was so arrogant. “Doesn’t anyone from the Parker family stop her?”
“Leonard’s parents think she’s a blessing to him because he woke up after marrying her. Leonard wants a divorce, but his
father won’t allow it,” Stephanie said with a trace of sadness.
“Steph, don’t be sad. Lisa is vulgar and comes from a lower class. She can’t compare to you,” Madison growled. “Besides, I’ll get my revenge on her soon. I’ve already found a way to deal with her. Once that happens, you and Leonard can get back together.”
“Don’t be impulsive.” Stephanie stopped her. “If something happens to Lisa, they’ll look for you. You and your family will be in trouble.”
Madison frowned in frustration. Although their family was influential, they could not afford to offend the Parker family, and her parents highly valued their relationship with them.
“There are other ways,” Stephanie said thoughtfully. “Lisa and Michelle are at odds. You know Michelle’s daughter, Kenzie, has a nasty temper. Do you think Kenzie will let it slide when she discovers Lisa offended Michelle?
“I heard she went to Abilene for fashion week. She should be back in a few days since school starts soon.”
