She then leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper.


    “But… that woman is your sister, right? She doesn’t strike me as kind- hearted.


    Be cautious around her.


    ”


    “I will,” Madisyn replied gently, then motioned for a waiter to bring something to their table.


    As Susan unwrapped the gift, her eyes grew wide with astonishment.


    Inside were opulent items: Chanel perfume, a chic designer handbag, and an array of premium skincare products.


    She drew in a sharp breath as she unearthed a limited-edition ne from Cavo.


    “All these are for me? Can this be real? Is this truly the limited-edition Cavo ne?”


    Madisyn had prepared these things especially for Susan, making her the sole recipient of suchvish generosity at the event.


    “Yes, indeed.


    We’ve got gifts for everyone here.


    Oh, and please hand this one to Giana,” Madisyn said, offering another package with a cheerful smile.


    Overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness, Susan eximed, “I never imagined my first high-end ne would be a gift from you.


    Guess I’ll be looking to you for more surprises in the future.


    ”


    Madisyn chuckled in response.


    “Sure, and my home is always open to you.


    ”


    Theirughter blended seamlessly as they engaged in Lively conversation.


    Madisyn was eager for Susan to stay at her ce, but her friend hesitated.


    At that moment, Dane and Andrew concluded their discussion nearby and caught the tail end of their conversation.


    “No worries, we have plenty of rooms at our ce.novelbin


    Miss, since you’re a friend of Madisyn, please feel free to pick any room you like,” Dane offered warmly, his tone inviting.


    “Madisyn has just returned and is still getting acquainted with everything at home.


    It would be wonderful if you could stay with her for a bit.


    ”


    Susan nced up at Dane, his demeanor refined and weing.


    He was an aristocrat with an approachable air.


    Madisyn, feeling Susan’s reluctance, gently squeezed her hand.


    “Don’t be shy.


    My parents are really weing.


    ”


    Encouraged by their kindness, Susan nodded in agreement.


    She was curious to see how Madisyn was doing at home, and she also wanted to ensure that her friend was being treated well.


    But she could see that the Johns family seemed much better than the Chapman family, where Madisyn had never feltfortable enough to invite her over.


    Susan’s only encounter with the Chapman couple had been under the stark, unfriendly lights of a hospital room, where their demeanor was anything but weing.


    It was no wonder Madisyn had never extended an invitation to her home under their watch.


    The Johns family, however, presented a stark contrast.


    As Susan witnessed the warmth and affability that radiated from them, her eyes lit up with joy for Madisyn.


    Even though the banquet was still in full swing, Susan decided to head home first to change her attire, before heading to Madisyn’s home.


    Madisyn had kindly offered to provide clothing, but Susan, not wishing to impose further, chose to fetch her own.


    Madisyn didn’t insist and arranged for a driver to take Susan home.


    On her way, Susan’s gaze fell upon a familiar figure.
