Chapter 42
Madeline quickly came downstairs it
in a slim-fit dress.
Everyone looked at her.
It was a light yellow dress with a fluffy hemline, which made her waist look thin.
Madeline's fair legs were long and thin.
Her skin was fair, and right then, it looked more delicate.
In fact, Madeline's external conditions were much better than Winslet's
Otherwise, she would not have become a popular actress after that.
However, Madeline did not dress up and did not have the money and mood to do it at present. Madeline changed clothes and stood with Winslet. She had won over Winslet's delicate look. Upon seeing Winslet, a person would only feel that she was a beautiful woman who dressed well.
However, after seeing Madeline, a person would feel that she was a beautiful woman who would look good no matter what she wore.
At some point, Madeline's timid temperament had been completely different.
Her posture was upright, just like a real prominent young lady.
Madeline's every movement was full of confidence.
Benjamin looked at her and was a little stunned. "Maddie, you should have dressed like this."
"Really?" Madeline smiled and pretended to be shy. "Then, I can dress like this all the time. However, I came from the countryside and always thought that this dress was for the girls in town. I'm afraid I will look funny if I dress like this" While talking, she showed a sense of insecurity.
However, Madeline was just pretending.
Benjamin nodded and said, "Nonsense. You look very beautiful
Benjamin felt compassionate.
He could not help but comfort Madeline. "Your condition is really good. You have to be confident in the future.
Benjamin thought, "Madeline is not that bad, in fact, but she's just unlucky. It's not her fault that she grew up in the countryside. Just like now, she is so eye-catching after dressing up."
Layla was also a little surprised. She could not believe that it was Madeline, her incompetent daughter. "Maddie, your clothes... It really suits you. You used to look like you were from the countryside. You look quite good now," Thomas re-examined his unremarkable daughter. "Yes, it seems that we have misjudged you before. Maddie, you're really
beautiful.
Everyone's praises made Madeline smile.
Madeline glanced at Winslet, who looked a little unhappy. Then, she deliberately took two steps closer to Benjamin

"Let's go. You drive. Let's talk about our relationship in private"
Winslet looked at their backs and clenched her fists. Her face was expressionless.
She thought, "Wait and see. Madeline will be even more loathed by everyone tonight!"
After getting in the car, Madeline's smile faded.
Benjamin asked, "Do you want to turn on the air conditioner? Will it be cold for you to wear a dress? Just do whatever you want. Tomorrow's engagement cancellation banquet...
Madeline rolled her eyes and found that Benjamin was talking a lot then.
"I'll go. Don't worry,
"No. I mean, will you feel embarrassed?"
"What do you think?"
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Madeline thought Benjamin was pretending to be confused.

Benjamin himself knew his words were a bit hypocritical. "Maddie, you are very smart, beautiful, and tough. I believe that even if you cancel the marriage agreement with me, you will find someone who really likes you. In fact, if it wereift for Winnie, maybe I would have liked you."
Madeline lowered her eyes and chuckled in a low voice.
She thought, "Do I need to thank him for being his back-burner?
"Don't say such nonsense. Just drive," she said.
It was dinnertime when they arrived at the mountain retreat,
When Madeline got out of the car, Winslet hurried over as if she was afraid that the former would take Benjamin away
"Benjamin, you have talked to Maddie for a long time. It's time to stay with me now. I'd be jealous if you value romance over friendship"
Benjamin nodded and smiled dotingly. "Okay. I've promised you. How could I go back on my word? I told you I'd be with you all day today, and I will do so.
Winslet directly grabbed Benjamin's arm without hesitation.
Nevertheless, Benjamin was a little awkward because of such intimate behavior.
He glanced at Madeline's face.
However, Madeline looked indifferent as if she was not angry at all.
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. "Maddie, go around yourself. I'll do something with Winnie. It's your first time to come to the mountain retreat. The environment here is good, and it's also good for you to relax." "Well, Maddie is not the same as before. She has grown up. She won't get angry easily anymore." Winslet smiled sweetly. "Am Tright, Maddie?"
""Of course!"

Madeline saw that they were, so intimate. She and Benjamin had hot even canceled the marriage agreement yet, but he and Winslet were so anxious to get together.
She thought that they were indeed a match made in heaven.
There was a mocking look in Madeline's eyes. I'm waiting for your wedding ceremony
Winslet's smile froze. "What are you talking about? Benjamin and 1 are like siblings. I won't steal Benjamin from you. Don't get me wrong."
Benjamin did not think much about it. He just thought that Winslet did not want to stimulate Madeline.
After they had left, Madeline took out her phone and made a cull
However, she did not notice that there was an extended MPV that immediately stopped at the mountain retreat after their car had arrived, which caused a sensation within the mountain retreat's higher-ups, Steven stood in the tall hotel building, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
He looked coldly at the surroundings below with his phoenix-like eyes.
"Didn't you say you don't care about this little girl? Why did you bring me here?" Alexander was helpless.
"She is not an ordinary little girl," Steven said in the coldest voice that surprised Alexander.
"She's not an ordinary little girl. What beautiful little girl do you like?" Alexander was amazed. "I thought you are a lifelong bachelor who would never get married. It turns out you like this kind of young, innocent, and cute little girl."
For a moment, Alexander did not know whether to say that Steven was robbing the cradle or not.
After all, Steven was only a few years older than Madeline.
Although Steven had connections with both police and underground organizations and become the Grim Reaper who frightened everyone, he was not old.
"Madeline. She's from the orphanage."
Alexander's smile froze. "No way... Those maniacs? This little girl looks normal. Are you kidding me?"
Steven looked at Alexander with contempt and an impatient expression.
"Okay, okay. I'm stupid, all right? If she were really a member of Phantom Organization, she wouldn't have been bullied like this. Those psychos won't make their people suffer, let alone hide their abilities."
Steven shook his head and said, "This little girl is not hardhearted. She always has extravagant expectations for family
affection."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room.
Madeline squatted beside the waterlily pond, feeling a little bored. She felt a cold and domineering gaze on her.
She scratched her head and looked back, only to find that there was no one there at all
The subordinate on the other end of the phone was still muttering, "It's done. They must be scared to death tonight. Ms. Larson, do you still need to handle this trivial thing by yourself? You're so worried. If they know it, they will definitely feel that I'm useless." Madeline rubbed her temples again. "Forget about them. I don't know how I'd explain to them after I get back."
@ M.
Caleb and the others had bad tempers.
They could not bear to see Madeline be wronged.
She was afraid that the people had become extremely angry after these days.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

At the thought of coaxing them one by one, Madeline felt a splitting headache.
