Chapter 3 Bonnie Maddison , you really had the audacity to come here ? What are you doing here ? Didnt I make myself clear enough yesterday ? A woman as shameless as you Ive had enough ! Juliana affectionately linked her arm through Ricardos and pretended to chide him softly . Oh , Ricardo , I invited Miss Maddison here . How could you talk to her like that ? She may be a bit poor , a bit vain , and a bit of a liar , but isnt it all because she likes you ? How could you speak to a girl like that ? As the surrounding guests curiously turned their attention toward us , Juliana smiled and raised her voice . Let me introduce everyone this is Miss Bonnie Maddison . Shes … well , one of Ricardos admirers . Shes been pursuing him for three years now . It seems our Ricardo really is irresistible . Oh , and Miss Maddison claims to be the sole daughter of Mr. Cyrus Maddison of Maddison Corporation . Everyone , please , get to know her . Her words were met with uproarious laughter . Hahaha ! What ? The daughter of Mr. Maddison ? Isnt Mr. Maddisons daughter living abroad ? How could she be here ? If youre going to brag , at least do some research first ! Exactly ! Shes probably pretending to be her because the real one is abroad no way to get caught otherwise ! Most of the guests here were small business owners from various industries , far removed from the Maddison familys circle . It was natural that they didnt recognize me . As for being abroad , they werent entirely wrong . The Begrotted It . After Realizing My Fortune My father had sent me overseas from a young age , and I had only returned three years ago . Given the complexities of this circle , my parents wanted to shield me from scrutiny and gossip , so only those within our inner circle knew I was back . I glanced around at the crowd , regarding them as one might look at clowns . Has anyone here actually met Miss Maddison ? Or better yet , has anyone met Mr. Maddison ? Youre all so confident in your claims . What if youre proven wrong what then ? Or maybe youre all so assured of your companies bright futures that you think offending Maddison Corporation wont affect you ? My composed demeanor made the guests begin whispering among themselves . She sounds so convincing . Could she really be the Maddison heiress ? Thats impossible , isnt it ? Didnt Juliana say shes been chasing after Ricardo for three years ? Would the Maddison heiress stoop to that ? Yeah , and Ricardo isnt stupid . Why would he pass up on the Maddison heiress ? Seeing some doubt emerge, Juliana started to lose her composure . Miss Maddison , you certainly have a sharp tongue , still insisting youre Mr. Maddisons sole . daughter . Perfect timing . The Lee family has some minor collaborations with Maddison Corporation recently . A department manager from Maddison will be here later why dont you go say hello ? I just hope Miss Maddison wont sneak away before then . Just as I was about to speak , a middle aged couple walked up and stood beside Ricardo . The man bore a striking resemblance to Ricardo it was clear these were his parents . Ricardos mother scanned me from head to toe , then let out a disdainful snort , her gaze dripping with contempt . Dressed like that , and you dare claim to be the Maddison heiress ? And that face looks every bit like a homewrecker . Trash like you actually dares to try and seduce my son . Our Juliana is so much better . One look , and you can tell shes from a good family . Thats the kind of daughter in law the Colson family needs . I glanced down at my outfit . Every piece was custom made by a top Italian designer , handcrafted with care and devoid of logos . or labels . It was no surprise she didnt recognize its worth . Ricardos father was less blunt but no less condescending , the disdain in his eyes unmasked . Miss Maddison , this is Ricardo and Julianas engagement party its not a place for your antics . Whatever might have happened between you and my son , its over now . A young lady clinging like this isnt a good look . Miss Maddison , I suggest you leave . If something happens , itll be unpleasant for everyone involved . Looking at Ricardos arrogant parents , I couldnt help but find it laughable . In the three years I had been with Ricardo , I had long known that the Colson Corporation was a hollow shell . Their financial chains had been broken for some time , and they were barely surviving thanks to connections built over the years . This was why Ricardo was so desperate to marry Juliana .
