waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 151 Madeleine's attitude already showed that this matter wouldn't be easily dropped . Rather than wait to be attacked , it was better to cut her losses . " If you do something wrong , you should take responsibility . " Fiona's tone was cold , but her eyes were fixed on Madeleine's reaction . " I'll have my lawyer follow up . We'll pay what needs to be paid and apologize for what needs to be apologized for ." Madeleine finally looked up at her , a hint of scrutiny in her eyes . " I hope you're a woman of your word . " There was a chlorine gas incident in the restaurant .

Although no one else was hurt besides the woman who had an asthma attack , the restaurant still evacuated everyone for their safety . Just then , a light rain began to fall outside . Madeleine and her secretaries stood at the entrance , waiting for the driver . Fiona stood not far behind her , her gaze following Madeleine , her expression distant . Chapter 151 She had changed . Like she was a completely different person . The old Madeleine was like a soulless doll , with nothing in her mind but Edward . That's why she seemed brainless , annoying , and completely without a mind of her own .

And that was exactly what Fiona despised . But today , her reaction took Fiona by surprise . It was as if she had become a whole new person . The Madeleine of today was completely independent , with a mind of her own , making a clean break from the past . Her fingers unconsciously toyed with the metal clasp on her purse , but the cool sensation did nothing to quell the strange anxiety rising in her heart . " Fiona ... " The woman who had just been slapped was now apologizing with her head bowed . " I'm so sorry , I didn't expect things to turn out like this .

Don't Chapter 151 worry , I'll go to the police station and clear things up . I won't drag you down . " Fiona ignored her . Seeing Fiona's gaze fixed on Madeleine , they assumed she was angry . Another woman quickly spoke up , " Fiona , don't overthink it . There's no way Mr. Carroll would be interested in someone like her . " " Yeah , you're the only woman by Mr. Carroll's side right now . We all see how good he is to you . " " Mr. Carroll dotes on you . " Fiona's expression darkened further . She was , indeed , the only woman by Edward's side , and their relationship was quite stable .

At least , that's what she had thought before running into Madeleine again . But now , she had a nagging feeling . Edward's attitude toward Madeleine seemed to have changed . Chapter 151 As she was pondering , a black Maybach pulled up nearby , and a tall , slender figure stepped out . Dressed in a perfectly pressed black suit , he took a long- handled black umbrella from someone beside him after exiting the car and strode gracefully towards the restaurant entrance . Fiona heard the women beside Madeleine gasp . " The CEO ! " ? " Oh my god , the CEO is here .

He can't be here to pick you up , can he , Chase ? " " Real couples are the best ! " Madeleine felt a little dizzy . She hadn't expected Roderick to come . The fine rain outlined a hazy halo around him . The umbrella was tilted slightly , hiding most of his face , revealing only his sharp jawline . When he got closer , Madeleine snapped back to reality , smiling at him happily , her eyes sparkling . Chapter 151 " What are you doing here ! " Roderick walked up to her , closed his umbrella , and looked exasperated . " I was worried you'd drink . " Madeleine's smile turned a bit awkward .

She rubbed her nose and whispered , " Don't say that . I just told them I don't drink because I don't want to ." ။ It would be so embarrassing if they found out I'm a lightweight . The four secretaries were all smiling , greeting Roderick with expressions that screamed they were shipping a couple . Roderick nodded . " I'll have the driver take you all home later . " After saying that , he looked away from them and lowered his voice . " Did something happen ? " In his quick glance just now , he had spotted Fiona , and a chill had subconsciously risen around him .

But seeing that Madeleine didn't look like she'd been taken advantage of , he managed to suppress his emotions . Chapter 151 " I'll tell you when we get back . " After speaking , Madeleine linked her arm with Roderick's , signaling for him to open the umbrella and get in the car first . Roderick opened the umbrella but didn't move . Instead , he placed the handle in Madeleine's hand . Before Madeleine could react , he swiftly scooped her up in his arms . The scene was straight out of a TV drama , and the secretaries couldn't help but gasp again . " What are you doing ? I can walk on my own .

" Madeleine let out a cry of surprise , nearly losing her grip on the umbrella . Roderick's arms held her steady . His voice was deep , " The ground is wet . You might slip .
