In their eyes, she remained the brightest star in the sky. She recalled her miserable and fruitless life in the last few years and finally understood the gravity of her mistake.
“I’m sorry. I do not have plans to do so. I shouldn’t be at today’s event. I …”
Calista gloated. “I heard you got married. Are you a housewife, by any chance? If so, you’re really out of place in this event. You wouldn’t want to disgrace the VIPs.”
Calvin shot her a disapproving look. Since the Davieses were reliant on the Atkinses, Calista had to keep her manners in check. Unlike her, Calvin acted gentlemanly toward others.
“That’s fine. We haven’t seen each other in a while anyway. Since we’re in the same industry, we might end up working together. I invited some medical experts to this event along with our classmates. Madison, please don’t feel that you’re out of place.”
He added, “Just think of it as expanding your social circle.”
Madison could not possibly excuse herself after Calvin attempted to keep her around. The other classmates were cool with Madison. They enthusiastically chatted with her.
In her classmates, she saw the good old college days when they confidently engaged in lively academic discussions. She stared into her hands, feeling disappointed at how she had turned so boring. Her marriage only brought her pain.
From the conversations around her, she learned that the founder of the hospital would attend the event as well.
“I heard that the Williams Group bid for the Oakland Hospital project because the president wanted to make his fiancee happy.” “Mr. Williams has a reputation for being heartless. I never thought he was such a romantic! He even named a hospital wing after his fiancee!”
Madison looked shaken after learning about that, but she inquired with a sliver of hope, “Mr. Williams? Which one?”
“Oh, Madison, you can’t be that out of the loop! Hunter Williams is the only Mr. Williams in Aldenvine with pockets deep enough to invest billions in the hospital!”
Nobody noticed that her face paled as she clutched the hem of her top tightly. She had once vowed to build a mega–hospital to benefit more patients.
Hunter took her idea and put it into action without her knowing, but one thing especially stood out to her–he named a hospital wing after Andrea.
How ironic was that!
She stood up in a hurry and accidentally tugged on the tablecloth. The decanted red wine toppled over and spilled all over her outfit, but she had no time to clean the mess.
“Calvin, something came up. I have to go now.”
Calvin immediately helped to wipe the stains with some napkins. At that moment, the door flung open. Hunter and Andrea entered
By a twist of fate, Madison found herself in Hunter’s sight at her most discomfited moments.
It turned out that the Atkinses and the Daviss were family friends. The Daviss invited the Atkinses to hold shares in the Oakland Hospital. Calvin was helping Andrea to scout for talents. And that was how everyone ended up at the event.
However, the guests were surprised that Hunter tagged along as well. His presence took the event to the next level. And the guests flocked up to greet him.
Calvin did not abandon Madison even after Hunter showed up. He handed her some napkins, and their hands touched in a moment of frenzy.
It was warm indoors. So Madison unbuttoned her down jacket to reveal a knitted white dress underneath. It wasn’t her intention to pick that particular dress, because it accentuated her figure.
Lifting her head, she exposed her smooth nape. She looked lovely and doelike.
Hunter noticed the absence of the mark on her neck, symbolizing their faded love. One day, he would put their memories behind him.
Still, Hunter realized that he was not as cool as he thought when Calvin held Madison’s wrist. And he stared intently at the motion.
Calvin immediately sensed his hostile gaze and looked up. But he only found Calista greeting Hunter. Confused, Calvin thought Hunter’s hostility was an illusion.
He greeted Hunter with grace, “Mr. Williams, we were not expecting you! It’s our honor to have you here. Andrea, this is the gifted student that I mentioned–Madison Evans. Madison, you should know Mr. Williams by now. And this is Mr. Williams’s-”
Madison shed her meekness and put on a thinly–veiled hostility. “I know. That’s Mr. Williams’s fiancée.”
She had thought that she’d never cross paths with Hunter. But it didn’t take them long to run into each other.
Calvin smacked his head and chuckled. “Oh, this is embarrassing. Every guest of mine must have known Mr. Williams and Ms. Davis from all that media coverage on their engagement.”
“I suppose everyone has heard about Mr. Williams’s fiancée. But does anyone know who his ex–wife is?” With a laugh like silver bells, Everly approached the group. She had successfully sold off one of her properties just now.
She was a cheerful and carefree spirit and was pretty. She tied her pink hair into a bun and strutted over in her stilettos. However, her pointed question was a rude shock to the guests around them.
“Everly, don’t run your mouth! Mr. Williams doesn’t have an ex–wife.”
“Right! He’s smitten with Ms. Davis.”
Everly was determined to even the score on Madison’s behalf. So she fearlessly walked up to Hunter and hissed, “They said you are smitten with Ms. Davis. How should we describe what you’ve done to your ex–wife, then? Walking out on her?”
Hunter shut her up. “She’s not worthy of mention.”
With that, he made his way around Everly and Madison, shocking the guests with his admission. However, he made it obvious that he wanted to drop the topic.. Any sensible guest would tiptoe around it, unlike Everly.
Surrounded by starstruck guests, he glided into the venue. Nobody except for Everly noticed that Madison was shaking indignantly.
Madison had not expected Hunter to dismiss their past relationship with such heartlessness. She realized that her precious memories were not worthy of a mention for him and clenched her fists.
Meanwhile, Everly seemed apologetic for her botched attempt at humiliating Andrea. It backfired when Hunter shut her down. She also knew that in Madison and Hunter’s divorce agreement, they agreed to keep their past relationship a secret.
“Madie, are you feeling unwell? I’ll send you home.”
Everly was reluctant to suggest Madison go home. But Hunter made it clear that he would side with Andrea.
Madison lost the competition when Hunter sided with Andrea. With each word he said, he inflicted pain on Madison. Madison was too fragile at that moment to endure more hurt.
Shockingly, Madison, who had been looking for an escape, chose to stay. She instructed Everly, “Didn’t you bring a change of clothes? Come with me to the restroom. I’ll change my outfit. It’s rude to leave when the event hasn’t started, don’t you think?
Everly was pleasantly surprised by Madison’s courage to stand up to Hunter.
On their way to the restroom, she kept grumbling, “Did you see Hunter Williams’s wretched look just now? I almost punched him and tore him into pieces! He’s the worst scumbag.”
Madison smiled helplessly. “Oh, Everly.”
