waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 95 She gave a slight smile . " Sorry , but my principles won't allow me to be such a doormat . " The companion of the woman with the twisted ankle went to support her , her face showing her embarrassment . " Who was gossiping ? Everyone knows you like Mr. Carroll , following him around like a puppy . You ... " " You're mistaken . " Madeleine cut her off , her voice even , her gaze so clear it left the two with nowhere to hide . " I'm not interested in him . I have a husband and a child , a happy marriage , and a wonderful family . If you're saying this about me because of Edward ...

" Madeleine paused , then chuckled lightly . " Then I'd have to question your upbringing . After all , the education I received taught me not to belittle other women over any man . " After speaking , Madeleine glanced down at the woman's ankle , which was already red and swollen . Chapter 95 " You should get that checked at a hospital . A sprain like that , if you don't let it heal properly , it could cause permanent problems . You won't be able to wear high heels anymore .

" After Madeleine's crystal - clear words , the two women fell silent , as if their acupuncture points had been hit , standing frozen in place for a long time . Upbringing . Yes , what about their upbringing ? They were both heiresses from prominent families , having received good educations since childhood . How could they say such ugly things over a man ? By the time they came to their senses , Madeleine was already far away . Meanwhile , someone by Roderick's side told him what had just happened at the entrance . Roderick's expression changed slightly .

He said his goodbyes to a few executives and hurriedly turned to leave . Chapter 95 He happened to run into Madeleine at the door . Roderick frowned and stepped forward to examine her closely . " Are you hurt ? " " Why would I be hurt ? " Madeleine smiled , and copying the others , she took Roderick's arm . Their outfits complemented each other , and standing together , they looked like a picture from a magazine , drawing many glances . Among them was Edward , who was chatting with his friends nearby .

He looked up , his deep , dangerous gaze cutting through the crowd to land on her , carefully studying the woman . Madeleine looked very different today . " Is that ... Mr. Livingston and Mrs. Livingston ? " Someone nearby spoke , and only then did Edward look away , a faint smile hiding the feelings in his eyes . " I heard that Mrs. Livingston has admired Mr. Carroll for a long Chapter 95 time . Our Mr. Carroll is truly one of a kind , making countless women fall for him . " " Hey , don't say that , or Fiona will get angry later .

" Fiona heard their conversation and smilingly linked her arm with Edward's . " Why would I be angry ? Edward is so outstanding , it's only normal for people to admire him . " After speaking , she glanced in Madeleine's direction . " It's just that it's a bit much for a married woman to still be joining in on the fun . Don't you think so , Edward ? " Fiona smiled and turned her head , expecting Edward to agree with her , but his gaze was cold , and he glanced at her without a word . For a moment , Fiona was at a loss . Did I say something wrong just now ? He seems to be angry .

Chapter 95 The business partners nearby noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject . " By the way , I heard Mr. Livingston's side isn't planning to bid on the North City Science Park project ? He's so young , after all . So shortsighted . " " Not necessarily shortsighted . He probably knows our Mr. Carroll is determined to win it and got scared . " As they spoke , all sorts of eager , flattering words tumbled out , and they raised their glasses to toast Edward . Edward had long grown tired of such flattery .

He listlessly clinked glasses with them , then made an excuse about seeing an acquaintance he needed to greet and left . " Edward . " Fiona chased after him , cautiously . " Were you angry just now ? " " Angry ? What would I be angry about . " Chapter 95 Fiona frowned , " You don't seem like yourself . " Edward scoffed , " I'm just bored . A bunch of brainless people gathered together . " " Brainless ? What do you mean ? " Edward looked at Fiona , " Do you really think Roderick would give up on the Science Park project ? " " He wouldn't ?

" Fiona frowned , " I heard the Livingston Group has had a lot of problems recently . Even if he wanted to compete , he definitely couldn't win against you . " Edward didn't say anything . When he turned his head , he happened to see Madeleine reaching out to fix Roderick's tie . What a picture of a loving couple . Did she know he was here and was putting on a show for him on purpose ? You really think you're something , don't you , Madeleine . For some reason , Edward felt a tightness in his chest . He told Fiona not to follow him and turned to go outside for a smoke .
