A faint, unreadable smile appeared on Andrew’s handsome face.


    Unable to tolerate Courtney’s nonsense any longer, Madisyn interjected, “Are you sure these are summer snowkes?”


    She gestured towards the white petals fluttering gently in the wind.


    Courtney nodded.


    “Yes, Madisyn, you might not be familiar with them, but summer snowkes are highly valued for their medicinal properties! I even attempted to grow some when I was younger, but it’s incredibly difficult to keep them alive!”


    Courtney maintained an innocent look while proudly sharing her extensive knowledge.


    She silently ridiculed Madisyn, assuming she knew nothing about the summer snowkes.


    “The summer snowke you mentioned has a green dot at the tip of each white petal, yet this flower is entirely white,” Madisyn said, shaking her head.


    Courtney retorted with a sneer, “Madisyn, what makes you say that? Have you ever actually seen a summer snowke?”


    At that moment, a florist came over and rified, “Thisdy is correct.


    These aren’t summer snowkes.


    In fact, summer snowkes wouldn’t survive in this climate.


    These are actually moonlit orchids, which resemble summer snowkes.


    ”


    Courtney’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment.


    While she knew about flowers, her knowledge was not asprehensive as she had boasted.


    But how did Madisyn know this?


    “Oh, I see.


    I must have mixed them up,” Courtney said with a forced smile, her frustration evident.


    She felt a burning embarrassment, now understanding why Andrew had smiled earlier.


    Andrew and Madisyn moved ahead, with Courtney trailing behind.


    She tried several times to join their conversation but couldn’t break into their close-knit bond.


    Courtney felt a growing sense of despair.


    Suddenly, Andrew got a phone call and excused himself.


    Now, it was just Courtney and Madisyn in the garden.


    Courtney observed Madisyn’s delicate, attractive profile, feeling a surge of jealousy.


    “You must be quite pleased with yourself, huh?”


    “Why would I feel that way?” Madisyn responded coolly, treating Courtney as if she were just a passerby.


    Courtney felt suffocated by that look.novelbin


    She considered Madisyn a rival, yet Madisyn seemed indifferent to her existence.


    This realization left Courtney deeply irked.


    “Madisyn, you went from a country girl to a rich heiress and now you’re clinging to Andrew, aiming for even greater wealth.


    Just remember, the Klein family is no ordinary rich family.


    They’re not fools.


    Someone like you will end up being a joke if you try to marry into their family!” Courtney taunted.


    “It looks like the one being a joke today isn’t me,” Madisyn retorted with a slight, cold smile.


    Courtney gritted her teeth.


    “So this was your n all along, wasn’t it? You orchestrated everything!”
