    “Thank you, Mom, but-isn’t this a bit much?” Madisyn inquired.


    ineughed Lightly, dismissing the worry.


    “Oh, never! A girl can never have too many dresses.


    This afternoon, we’re going shopping so you can add anything else you like!” she dered with a generous smile.


    Madisyn, though overwhelmed, felt a deep warmth from the gestures surrounding her.


    ine had intended to wait a few days before changing Madisyn’s name.


    However, Madisyn, feeling the genuine love from ine and Glenn, saw no reason to dy.


    That very afternoon, they visited the local City Hall, where Madisyn officially adopted the surname Johns, bing Madisyn Johns.


    With the legal formalitiesplete, ine squeezed Madisyn’s hand, her voice filled with excitement.


    “Sweetheart, let’s dive into some shopping and see what catches your eye.


    ”


    Glenn watched the two with a tender gaze, regret in his tone.


    “You two enjoy yourselves.


    I’ve got some work this afternoon and can’te along.


    Here’s ten million-treat yourselves to whatever delights you find.

    Adjusting to thevish lifestyle of her parents, Madisyn thanked Glenn, taking the generous sum.


    He patted her head lovingly, his eyes brimming with paternal affection.


    The Moonshine Mall was the top-ranked luxury shopping mall in Gemond.


    ine led Madisyn to the chic Chanel boutique, eyes alight with excitement as she envisioned Madisyn in each piece.


    She quickly picked out a collecti


    n of garments.


    “Sweetheart, try these on.


    If they suit you, we’ll take them all.


    ”


    Madisyn, feeling somewhat overwhelmed yetpliant, nodded and gathered the clothes.


    As she was about to head to the fitting room, she noticed Phyllis and Jenna approaching.


    Jenna, clearly in a foul mood, had been brought by Phyllis to indulge in some retail therapy.


    Her surprise at seeing Madisyn was evident.


    “Madisyn?” she blurted out, her voice ringing with disbelief.


    ine, turning at the voice, recognized the pair instantly.


    She softened, knowing the Chapman family’s significant role in Madisyn’s upbringing.


    Glenn had already agreed to work with the Chapman family’spany for their part in raising Madisyn, and he had returned to thepany earlier just to meet with Jeffry to discuss the cooperation.


    As ine readied a warm greeting, even nning to cover Phyllis’s and Jenna’s shopping expenses as a gesture of goodwill, Jenna’s tone shifted sharply.


    “Madisyn, what are you doing here? This is a Chanel boutique.


    Can you even afford anything?”novelbin


    Phyllis scrutinized Madisyn in confusion, her face darkening as she recalled the scene she had seen at the Alpenglow Hotel earlier that day.


    “Madisyn, why aren’t you with your poor parents? Buying luxury goods here, where did you get such money? Have you found a sugar daddy?”


    This bitch was trying to embarrass their family!


    These harsh words cut through the boutique’s refined air, leaving ine shocked and momentarily speechless.
