Kristine epted them with a smile.
“Thank you, Mom.
I’ll do my best to win first ce.
Where’s Madisyn?”
She scanned the area but didn’t see Madisyn.
“She went out early this morning.
She might have had other matters to attend to.
”
“Well, okay.
At such a crucial moment, I wish she could be here.
”
Kristine’s voice held a trace of disappointment mixed with a subtle undertone of satisfaction and irony.

Lynda’s expression hardened slightly at the mention of Madisyn.
Being more experienced, she could easily guess the undercurrents of a young woman’s feelings.
She shared Kristine’s sentiment.
If Madisyn was absent at such a pivotal time, it only meant she didn’t want to be here.
“Family shoulde first, shouldn’t it? What could be more important than Kristine’s big day?” Lynda remarked coolly.
Kristine quickly offered a “thoughtful” exnation, saying, “It’s okay, Aunt.

As they exited, they happened to pass by Jenna and her family who came in.
Jeffry immediately recognized Glenn.

“Wiho?” Jeffry was confused.
Phyllis rified, “She was the woman who stood up for Madisyn at the mallst time.

Jeffry’s expression darkened.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, it was definitely her,” Jenna chimed in.
“Dad, what’s going on?”
Jeffry was about to break out in a cold sweat.
“Do you see who she’s with? That’s Mr.
Glenn Johns!”
Phyllis’s and Jenna’s faces darkened.
If that man was Glenn, then the woman with him must be his wife.
Jeffry, irritated, scolded, “You should be careful out there.
It’s best not to provoke the wrong people!”
