It wasn’t that Madison couldn’t dodge it. Instead, Chloe was simply too fast. Madison also didn’t expect her to do that in public.
Madison was stunned by the slap.
In her memories, Chloe was a distant person who had always been cold to Madison.
No matter what, Chloe had received lessons on manners since she was young. How could she hit Madison in public?
– Madison covered her face, taking a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart.
“Mrs. Davis, I think you owe me an explanation.”
“If I had known you would turn out as shameless as this, Madison, I wouldn’t have given birth to you. I’m very disappointed in you!”
Chloe’s slap had ruined Madison’s good mood for the past two days.
Madison’s colleagues looked on curiously. Madison couldn’t handle the embarrassment.
“If you have something to say, let’s talk outside.”
Chloe swept her hand away. “What’s the matter? Are you scared that I’ll expose what you did? I have no idea how your father raised you. I can’t believe you’ve resorted to such tactics!
“He has already cut off ties with you, but you ran after him and even joined his company!”
Madison understood what was going on now. Andrea knew that she couldn’t change Hunter’s decision, so she urged Chloe to make an appearance.
Chloe would shame Madison in public. Then, Madison would feel so embarrassed that she would leave the company on her own.
This plot wasn’t too cunning, but it was the most hurtful.
Madison looked at Chloe with a hurt look on her face. “But you’re my mother.”
She couldn’t understand it. Chloe was her biological mother, but she kept siding with Andrea.
Chloe knew that Andrea had ruined her family, but she never scolded Andrea for it. Instead, she played along with Andrea’s plot and came to the company to cause trouble.
Andrea must have told Chloe something. Chloe’s face was filled with rage as she said, “I don’t have a shameless daughter like you!”
With that, she grabbed Madison’s hair. “Come with me. You shouldn’t be here!”
The people around them couldn’t help even if they wanted to. They never thought that Madison’s mother would be so fierce.
At that moment, they still didn’t know Chloe’s identity.
When people from the other departments heard of this incident, they stopped working. They crowded at the entrance of the office to watch the show.
“Go and tell Mr. Williams that you’re resigning right now. Don’t you dare go out and embarrass yourself ever again.”
“Let go!” Madison pushed Chloe away with all her might.
Losing her balance, Chloe fell onto the ground.
She didn’t make a fuss on the ground, but her words were still hurtful.
Scrambling to get up, she scolded Madison for ruining someone else’s family.
A few days ago, people were still spreading rumors that Madison was involved with Hunter. Chloe’s visit had proven this rumor.
As Chloe complained, everyone looked at Madison in disdain.
Home-wreckers were rampant these days, and many people hated them as well.
Everyone whispered among themselves. Madison could hear the horrible words they were saying.
The words flew at her from all directions like piercing daggers.
Those weren’t the worst; the worst came from her own mother’s mouth.
Chloe would destroy Madison for Andrea’s sake!
Rumors were like knives that would steal people’s lives.
Madison couldn’t defend herself. Under such circumstances, anything she said would be wrong.
No matter what she said, her mother’s words would still win over hers.
Clenching her fingers into fists, she asked Chloe a question, “What good do you get out of this?”
Madison couldn’t understand what Chloe was thinking. She didn’t know why Chloe abandoned her and went overseas back then.
She had been gone for many years. Now that she had come back, shouldn’t she make it up to her poor daughter?
If Chloe ruined Madison’s reputation, it would have a bad effect on her reputation as a mother too. What was she trying to do?
Chloe was stunned for a moment. Then, she became even fiercer. “Madison, I told you to be a blameless person. Aren’t you scared of the consequences when you do these things?”
Blood was oozing out of Madison’s clenched fists. “Why should I be scared? She’s the one who should be scared…”
Before she could finish speaking, a calm man’s voice rang out. “Mrs. Davis, the CEO wishes to see you two.”
News of this incident had already reached the CEO’s office. Brent, who was standing respectfully at the side, led the two away.
Madison lowered her head, staring at Chloe’s back. The sight wasn’t much different from what she remembered.
She felt pathetic. If she had known that her mother was someone like this, would she still have held onto hope as she waited for Chloe’s return?
Opening the door, Brent respectfully led Chloe in. “Have a seat, Ma’am.”
Chloe sat down. Brent was about to ask Madison to take a seat when Madison interrupted him, “It’s okay, I’ll stand.”
Putting down the document in his hands, Hunter stood up. He moved swiftly. When he walked past Madison, she felt a breeze picking up.
Hunter sat down opposite Chloe. He didn’t say a word, and there was cold air coming from him.
Be it Jeff or Chris, both had only ever shown Chloe their gentle sides. So, she wasn’t used to the suppressing feeling coming from someone younger than her.
“Ms. Parker, you should inform me beforehand if you’re coming to the company. I could send someone to welcome you.” Hunter began to boil some water for tea. He also rinsed the cups while he was at it. His movements were so skilled that he looked like a master.
Chloe wasn’t as arrogant as she had been just now. Placing her hands on her knees, she behaved like a proper lady.
“I had something to talk to my daughter about.”
Hunter’s voice wasn’t loud, and his tone was steady as well. His well-defined hands took the cups, rinsing them thoroughly. His movements were elegant and graceful.
“Ms. Parker, you can make as much fuss as you’d like. Young people like us have no right to intervene. Still…”
He placed the cups firmly on the table, producing a loud sound. Hunter stared at Chloe. “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to cause trouble at my company?”
Chloe could feel the majestic air of a higher-up coming from him. She gulped, having never thought that a younger person could be so powerful.
“Hunter, I’m doing this for your sake. I know that Madie has been pestering you all this while. She has already gotten divorced from you, but she’s still sticking to you.
“You’re about to be engaged to Andrea, so I was just trying to help you.”
Madison was furious. She was about to say something when Hunter spoke up before she did. “Ms. Parker, I think you’ve misunderstood something.
Hunter placed the cup in front of her. “Ever since the beginning, I’ve been the one pestering your daughter.”
His words were like an invisible slap delivered to Chloe’s face.
For a long while, Chloe was stunned. She stuttered as she said, “How can this be?
“I heard that you two had a rocky relationship. You two are divorced, too. You even have a child with Andrea. I thought …”
Hunter replied, “Ms. Parker, sometimes, the truth differs from what you see. Moreover, all those are just rumors. I can’t interfere in your family matters, but I should remind you about something.
“She’s your biological daughter. Why would you believe your stepdaughter instead of listening to your biological daughter?”
Hunter’s words struck a chord in Madison’s heart. He knew the expectations Madison had of her mother.
Chloe was the person Madison had longed for, after all. But when Chloe came back, this was how she treated Madison. Hunter knew how sad Madison must have felt.
But Chloe didn’t.
She didn’t like Jeff, so she treated his daughter coldly as well.
Andrea wasn’t quite respectful to her, especially when Chris wasn’t around. Andrea had plotted against Chloe many times.
Human nature could be terrible. People would usually show their gentlest sides to outsiders, but they treated their closest relatives with anger and hatred.
Over the years, it had become a habit of Chloe’s to try and please Andrea.
Likewise, she ignored Madison out of habit. She didn’t care about Madison and even abandoned her without consideration.
