Madison spotted someone in the distance plucking flowers, and she immediately recognized that it was the stretch of jasmine flowers that Julia valued the most at the Hadley residence.

I can’t believe she’s bold enough to pluck the jasmine flowers Helen told me that this designer can design pretty clothes and is good at preparing desserts to please Mrs. Hadley. Is she trying to flatter Mrs. Hadley to win Nathaniel’s heart?

Madison strode over and declared, “Do you know each and every petal here is more important than you are? Who gave you the guts to pluck the flowers?”

Under the mask, Christina’s face had turned dark. So, Madison has been putting up a facade of being gracious in front of Nathaniel all this time? It’s revolting how she jumped to conclusions and rudely questioned me without even bothering to find out what I was really doing!

“I’m not plucking the flowers,” she replied. With the help of the voice changer, her current voice was different from her usual one.

Madison went breathless with anger. “Do you think you own the whole place after staying here for a couple of days? I saw you plucking flowers with my own eyes! You really need me to teach you a lesson so you know your place, huh?”

She raised her hand angrily, intending to slap Christina.

I’m going to slap her and remove her pretentious-looking mask. It’s annoying to see her acting all mysterious by wearing that mask!

Seeing Madison lifting her arm, Christina tensed up as she felt a chill go down her back.

I can’t let Madison remove my mask. I’ll be doomed if she does that.

At the same time, Christina lifted her arm and hastily grabbed Madison’s wrist, effectively stopping the

latter.

An icy glint flashed across her eyes. “Miss, please don’t push your luck!” she warned.

Madison had no idea that the skinny-looking woman would be this strong.

She took a sharp breath, noticing how the woman’s eyes seemed to pierce through her even though. she couldn’t see the latter’s face.

“What’s going on here?” Helen’s voice interrupted the tension in the air that was formed by the two women locking gazes with each other.

Madison trembled slightly and immediately gave Christina a push. She then collapsed to the ground, seemingly having lost her balance.

Her eyes were red as she complained, “Ms. Ada, these flowers are Mrs. Hadley’s favorite. Why did you push me when all I did was tell you not to pluck these flowers?”

Christina scowled. I pushed her? She was the one who pretended to fall to the ground! How dare she blame me for pushing her?

Right then. Julia came over to join them and gave Helen a pointed look.

At once. Helen hurried over to help Madison to her feet.

Madison sniffled gently and explained weakly, “Mrs. Hadley. I’m fine, but your flowers…”

Julia arched a brow and directed an imposing look toward Christina. Clearly, she was waiting for an explanation.

Christina met her gaze calmly and spread her palin open to reveal some withered jasmine flowers.

It was clear what had transpired.

Helen broke the silence. “It’s obvious the flowers are withered, so Ms. Ada didn’t pluck them.”

Christina nodded and explained. “The flowers may have withered, but their fragrance is still intact. I thought it would be a shame to let them go to waste, so I wanted to gather a few to bring back with

me.”

Madison’s face paled when she caught sight of the withered flowers in Christina’s palm.

She was just picking withered flowers? Why didn’t she says earlier? What a scheming woman! I can’t believe she made me look like the bad person here!

Julia gave her a look. “Ms. Ada, do you like these withered flowers? If that’s the case. I’ll ask the housekeeper to pick up some and deliver them to your room every day.”

Withered flowers aren’t worth anything. Let’s see what she’s up to.

Christina didn’t reject her offer. “Sure! Thank you, Mrs. Hadley. I’ll head upstairs for now.”

Madison stared at her retreating figure and fell into deep thought. She might be wearing a mask to hide her features, but her figure bears an uncanny resemblance to Christina…

Snapping out of her reverie, she blew on her scraped palms instinctively. “Mrs. Hadley, I’m sorry. I didn’t make sure what happened first before accusing her.”

“Forget it. You were just concerned about my flowers. Come on, let’s head in.”

With that, the three of them headed back to the house.

Upstairs, Christina soaked the flowers she picked in warm water before placing white thread into the liquid.

After that, she screwed the cap shut and hid it in a corner like it was a valuable treasure.

She was planning to soak the thread for a few days to infuse it with the jasmine fragrance before. drying it. The resulting thread would be highly aromatic. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Christina’s mood soured when she heard voices coming from downstairs as she was reminded of how Madison had treated her earlier.

If I stay in my room, Madison will have no chance to make things difficult for me.

Christina remained in her room until night fell. The housekeeper usually brought her dinner to her room, but it seemed like tonight was an exception as no one had knocked on her door yet.

The door was suddenly pushed open. Instead of the housekeeper, it was Madison who was delivering her dinner today.

After striding into her room, Madison placed the food tray aside carelessly. “Ms. Ada, your dinner is.

here.”

“Thanks for delivering my dinner. You may leave now” Christina replied.

She had put her guard up against Madison after their encounter earlier in the day.

Madison had always presented herself as a refined and magnanimous woman, even in front of Christina, while pretending to be an intellectual office worker.

Witnessing Madison’s true character was a shocking revelation for Christina.

Madison didn’t seem to have heard her words as she walked into the room to gaze at the three gowns.

She wasn’t a design major, but as she examined the incomplete gowns, their style and cut told her that they were on par with bespoke gowns from high-end brands.

It’s surprising that this woman is this talented.

Christina marched over to block her view. “I’m sorry, but these gowns are not yet complete and not available for viewing.”

An ugly scowl crept up Madison’s face. So what if she’s good at designing clothes? What’s there to be proud of?

She let out an icy snort and stared intently at Christina’s eyes, hoping to pierce through the mask and confirm if it was really Christina underneath.

“Ms. Ada, I’m pleasantly surprised at how talented you are. Why don’t you design a gown for me? I can afford to pay any amount you demand,” she declared.

Christina narrowed her eyes at how preposterous Madison sounded. So what if you’re rich? “I’m sorry, but my schedule for the next six months is full,” she snapped.

How dare she reject me?

Madison’s scowl deepened. “You’re using a voice changer, aren’t you? What is your goal for coming to Mrs. Hadley while acting all mysterious?”

She reached out, intending to remove Christina’s mask.

Christina immediately stepped back out of her reach and replied icily, “Ms. Taggart, please stop doing this. Mrs. Hadley invited me here, so I’m considered her guest. If you insist on crossing my bottom line, don’t blame me for taking action.”

Seeing her response, Madison grew increasingly sure that the woman before her was hiding. something. However, they were currently in the Hady residence, and she had already humiliated herself in front of Julia this noon.

After a brief hesitation, she gave Christina a frosty look before turning to leave the room.
