“A n? If you hadn’t tried to undermine me to elevate yourself, you wouldn’t have ended up letting everyone know you gave a fake gift!” Madisyn shot back coolly.


    “Yous”


    Courtney’s mind went nk with anger.


    She couldn’t even find a way to retort Madisyn.


    She felt deeply aggrieved, bested by someone she underestimated.


    Just then, she saw Andrew returning out of the corner of her eye.


    Without thinking, she instinctively grabbed Madisyn’s hand.


    The next second-“Ssh!”-Courtney tumbled into the river!


    The river, running through the estate, was neither too deep nor too shallow.


    Madisyn was momentarily shocked before realizing what had urred, and then she felt an urge to Laugh.


    Courtney and Kristine were so much alike! They were both such cunning maniptors, using the same cheap tricks!


    “Andrew, help me!”


    Despite being able to stand in the river, Courtney called out for Andrew.


    Andrew’s brow furrowed, and he shot a nce filled with evident disdain.


    He directed a nearby servant, “Get her out.


    ”


    The servant stepped into the water and swiftly helped Courtney to her feet.


    Gasping for breath, her clothes thoroughly soaked, Courtney Looked up at Andrew with pleading eyes.


    “Andrew, don’t be mad at Madisyn.


    I made her angry.


    That’s why she did this.


    ”


    Since she had just emerged from the water, she was drenched from head to toe, and her appearance was alluring.


    Many men would feel a tug of sympathy seeing her in such a state.


    “Is that so? Since you’ve upset Madisyn, you need to apologize to her,” Andrew said, his face giving nothing away.


    Courtney stood in stunned silence, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief.


    Could she have heard Andrew wrong?


    “Andrew, I don’t me Madisyn,” Courtney said, her voice dripping with feigned innocence as she adopted a pitiable look.


    “You upset her.


    Why should she be med? You should be the one saying sorry.novelbin


    Apologize to Madisyn, now!” Andrew’s voice was stern, his presencemanding.


    Madisyn almost burst outughing; Andrew was really something else!


    She watched as Courtney’s face drained of color, then flushed with embarrassment.


    Finally, gritting her teeth, Courtney muttered, “I’m sorry, Madisyn.


    ”


    “It’s fine.


    Just make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Madisyn replied, her toneden with meaning.
