Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 108 Harper 1 I had to hold in my laugh while I watched Tiffany's face in particular . " You know what ? I'm not surprised it cost $ 30,000 , " Uncle Sebastian chimed in . " Just look at the great detail . You'll have to excuse me . " He waved at a gorgeous lady who was also waving at him while at another table . As soon as he patted Maddox on the shoulder and began to make his way over there , Tiffany cleared her throat and crossed her arms , demanding for a full price breakdown . I proudly gave it to her and the best part was that I told no lies . " I still refuse to believe it .

" She took a sip of water like that was going to change how much had been spent on my entire look . " Then it's a good thing the internet exists , " Maddox chimed in . " I'll give you all the details you need to find out . " She was so determined to come out on top that she took out her phone . " Fine , tell me ! " I watched as she typed in whatever Maddox had told her , and when she got to confirm it all , her shoulders rose and fell with rapid breaths . " Babe , are you okay ? " Grayson asked . " I ... I need some fresh air .

" She placed her hand on her chest like there was so much pressure building . After helping her get up , he held her close as he guided her out of the hall . " That was so dramatic ," Maddox said , taking a seat beside me . " But what if something is actually wrong with her ? " He rolled his eyes . " There's nothing wrong with her . You just won . Don't forget who she is . " " Yeah , but ... " I trailed off when I looked right at the entrance of the hallway and spotted Grayson's parents in the company of Mr. Aldridge and Margot .

She was holding on to his arm , confidently strutting in some high heels . " Wow , " I managed to say . " I told you ." He sighed with a small smile as he also looked on . " Are you okay ? " I asked . " Why wouldn't I be ? " Maybe it didn't matter to him or maybe it did , but I knew that had it happened to me , it would've pissed me off to see Margot show up , even though it was all an act . Even though he wanted to act like he wasn't bothered by it , I spotted his jaw clench as he looked on . It also took him a while to look away from her as he studied her closely .

Whatever was running through his mind made the expression in his eyes more intense . " I just realized something , " I said . " What ? " he might've been ready to listen to whatever I had to say , but he still didn't look away from Margot . " Margot's name tag is still here ," I said . " She was definitely coming . " His forehead thoughtfully creased as he looked down at me . " And I didn't hear Tiffany express her disappointment at any point that her mom wouldn't be able to make it . Did she know ? " He asked that question like he expected me to have the answer .

His eyes even narrowed when he looked back at everyone approaching , not even forcing a smile . When they were all close enough , Mr. and Mrs. Ford took their seats at the same table as Uncle Sebastian while Mr. Aldridge and Margot took their seats at our table . " The decor is so lovely ! " she said as she looked around , her gaze , turning scornful the second she glanced at me . " Good evening ," I said politely to both of them . " Good evening , " Mr Aldridge said . " You look beautiful ." " Thank you , " I replied .

" You look- " " You came , " Maddox suddenly cut in , his tone harshly directed at Margot . " Oh , of course I did ." She scoffed . " Why wouldn't I come , dear ? " " I thought you were injured . " She chuckled dismissively . " I was , but you know what ? The universe knew that tonight's event was so important that I just had to be here . I had to fight through the pain and just a few hours ago , I felt perfectly fine , so here I am ! Oh , there's Kate ! " She waved at Kate as she came over . " Doesn't she look stunning ?

" She looked at the three of us like she was looking for someone to be in agreement with her , but I was too busy watching Maddox to focus on anything else . He was holding in so much . When Kate came over , she shared a warm embrace with Margot and shook hands with Mr. Aldridge . She then came to Maddox and was about to go in for a hug when he set boundaries by waving a hand at her . " Hi ," he said flatly . " You look so handsome this evening . " Her lips curved into a flirtatious smile as she took a seat . " I know . " He snapped at her .

" My girl's been telling me that since I picked her up . " Her smile instantly faded as she scornfully looked at me . She didn't even bother saying the fakest greeting , neither did I. She must've thought that because that was a big event with so many in attendance , he would at least pretend to be nice to her . As she spoke to Mr Aldridge and Margot , I was watching Maddox . The vein on the side of his forehead popped out while he watched Kate with a blank expression . He even balled his hand into a fist under the table .

Whatever was going through his head , I just wanted to calm him down , so I gently placed my hand on top of his fist . He finally looked over at me with that blank expression and I subtly shook my head for him to calm down . It was then that his expression softened a little . " You know , I really wish you could permanently sit with us ," Margot said to Kate . " You're family after all ." " Don't worry about it . " Kate's voice was sweet . " I'm just at the next table with Mr. and Mrs. Ford and Uncle Sebastian . I'm still pretty close ." " Aww , such a sweet young lady .

I'm glad you're still close enough , but that doesn't change what I said . You deserve to be at this table . " " She can definitely be part of us if you give up your seat , " Maddox bluntly said to Margot . I swallowed my gasp . I might've managed to make him calm down a bit , but I guess his blood was still boiling . " Let's all just have a good time ," Mr. Aldridge finally said , his voice cool . " This is a fundraiser and I hope for the best . " I gently squeezed Maddox's hand and he looked over at me again , his expression softening one more time .

But as soon as Kate spoke again and he looked back at her , his expression hardened . " Tiffany and Grayson should be on their way back . She needed some fresh air . " " Is everything all right ? " Margot gasped . " Of course ." Kate assured her . " They'll definitely be back soon since were about to begin . " As Kate went on to talk more about the auction , Maddox took out his phone , typed something and the phone in my purse buzzed just a few seconds later . There had to be a link between the two , so I took it out quickly and there it was , the message that he had just typed .

" The event is about to begin and you're about to see Tiffany and Kate in tears . " I was so curious that I typed quickly . " What will you do ? " " You're about to find out . Tiffany's first . " He smirked at me as he put his phone away and I could only wonder what he was up to .
