Chapter 92
As soon as Madison finished speaking, the entire venue became completely silent.
Some people took it as watching a drama, while others looked over worriedly. Many people did not
understand what was going on and stuck their heads out slightly to ask the people who were standing
in front…
Ramona probably did not expect Madison to react like that. The smile on Ramona’s face froze.
However, she quickly regained her composure and slowly retracted her outstretched hands. She
pretended as if there had never been any awkwardness.
“What is Madison behaving like that?”
Ramona held onto Richard’s arm as he walked up beside her.
Richard smiled at Madison and said, “We organized today’s banquet to celebrate the fact that you have
found the biological members of your family. That’s why we invited so many guests. Is there anything
you and your brother want to clarify?”
Madison scoffed in her heart when she heard the hint of threat in Richard’s words.
Previously, when Richard asked Madison to address him and Ramona as uncle and aunt, he was
arrogant. Now, Richard’s expression changed when he asked Madison to address them as her parents.
It was obvious that Richard was very hypocritical.
Back then, if it wasn’t for the fact that Edgar liked her, the Hale family would have kicked Madison out
of the house. However, to please the old man, the Hale family had to keep Madison. Just like the last
time, they took out the severance agreement for her to sign so that they could sever ties with her. They
had prepared and kept this agreement for a long time.
Now that there were some benefits that the Hale family could get from Madison, Richard approached
her shamelessly. It was disgusting.
However, most people did not know.
At this moment, they could only hear Ramona referring to herself and Richard as Madison’s mom and
dad. To most people, they appeared to be very humble and low in
status.
On the contrary, Madison seemed especially cold and unreasonable.
However, she did not have any reason to treat the Hale family members nicely.
Madison came here tonight to clarify matters to everyone and completely sever ties. with the Hale
family.
When the identity of Madison’s third brother was revealed, Madison knew that the Hale family members
wanted some benefits from her. This time, she knew that if her relationship with her parents was
officially announced, the Hale family would definitely pester her to no end.
“Ramona, what do you think I should clarify?”
A smile appeared on Madison’s beautiful face. She did not take Ramona’s threat seriously at all.
Ramona forced a stiff smile.
Madison then said, “You’ve already given me the severance agreement stating that we have severed
our ties. Naturally, I’m here today to clarify this matter.
“Since the day Sally was found, you have not treated me well. However, I’m not an ungrateful person.
You and Richard brought me up since I was young. My brother and I will repay your kindness, and that
is why we are here.
“The only thing I didn’t expect was that this family banquet you have organized has turned into a
luxurious banquet for many guests. When my brother and I just arrived, we thought we had come to the
wrong banquet.”
It was clear that the Hale family members were just making use of the guests.
Although the guests already knew about it when Ramona invited them, the nature of the invitation had
become completely different when Madison said it out. Not to mention that Ramona did not tell anyone
that she had invited many guests.
Some guests could pretend that they didn’t know anything and just came here to watch a good show.
There were others who were involved in the drama and embarrassed themselves eventually. They
became part of the drama.
As expected, after Madison finished speaking, many guests had already lost their smiles. Ramona
could no longer smile. The corners of her lips were sore.
She wanted to explain, but her throat felt a little dry. She could only pinch her husband slightly and
throw him a signal.
Richard’s reaction to his surroundings was slower, but he understood what Madison
meant.
After being pinched, he coughed lightly and frowned. “The last time you got the severance agreement, I
wasn’t at home. That agreement was just a joke. Your mother
was just messing around. Hence, we didn’t sever ties with you. You’ve been sensible since you were
young. Why are you behaving like her?”
Ramona chimed in, “That’s right, Madison. That time, I was very angry and that was why I took out the
severance agreement to drive you away. But the moment you left, I regretted it. I called you, but you
didn’t answer. You didn’t even want to listen to my explanation.”
As Ramona spoke, her voice was a little choked up. She wanted people to hear what she said, and
they would feel that Madison was ungrateful and unfililal.
Ramona continued, “I didn’t keep quiet about this banquet from you on purpose. Your father and I just
wanted to give you a surprise. So we kept you in the dark. We raised. you since you were young. It
wasn’t easy for you to find your real family members. We feel very happy for you too.”
Ramona spoke as if she loved Madison very much. Ramona expressed her motherly love very openly.
However, Madison just smiled. There was not even any sarcasm in her eyes. There was just a faint
smile on her face.
Antoine, who was beside Madison, frowned. He wanted to go
him.
“Antonine, let me settle it.”
She whispered to Antoine and gave him a confident look.
forward, but she stopped
Antonine stopped staring at Ramona and did not move forward. However, he looked angry as he stood
behind Madison, wanting to protect her.
Madison looked up again and took something out of her handbag.
At the same time, she said, “Ramona, don’t make yourself sound so pitiful. It sounds like I have no
conscience.”
Ramona thought, ‘It is clear that you
have no conscience.
However, Ramona did not show any displeasure on her face. She replied gently, “It’s my fault for
making you angry last time. But Madison, you just need to know that even if you find your biological
parents, the Hale family will always be your home.”
Unfortunately, Madison did not bother about what Ramona said. Instead, Madison exposed her Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
hypocrisy mercilessly. “Ramona, don’t say such disgusting words. You give me the chills when such
words come out of your mouth. Don’t you feel disgusted?”
Ramona was stunned.
Everyone around her also looked at her in surprise.
Madison still had that faint smile on her face. Her facial expression was so pleasant that no one would
imagine that there was an argument going on.
Madison then took out the severance agreement from her bag and showed it to
everyone.
“This is the agreement to show that you severed ties with me when you chased me out. If I remember
correctly, you did not write the agreement on the spot. You have written it earlier. You already had plans
to chase me out. So, why are you pretending now?”
“Also, Richard, you said that since you were not around that day, this agreement isn’t valid. Then, was
it you who signed the agreement with the Hale family seal? Not to mention that this agreement has
been notarized and is already official. Even if it wasn’t legal, there were many people at Sally’s birthday
party. They were all witnesses. You can’t just say that the agreement is invalid.
“Besides, you said you regretted what had happened but I knelt and bowed to you that night. Are you
going to do the same tonight?”
Madison was still smiling gently, and there was a burst of laughter from the people around them.
As she was smiling, she noticed Ramona’s resentful look.
Madison was prepared to tolerate it if anyone said she was unfilial. After all, this was a confrontation
between her and the Hale family.
Madison didn’t mind being called spineless or that people thought of her as not having any conscience.
She had decided to be the villain tonight and at least that would make her feel comfortable.
ras sed.!!!
When everyone laughed, Richard felt very embarrassed.
are in the
He straightened his posture and said in a rough voice, “Madison, although we wrong, don’t be so
arrogant and aggressive. We are a family and we shouldn’t bear grudges against one another. Do you
want us to kneel and apologize to you before you’re willing to come back?
Richard did not believe that Madison really expected them to kneel and bow to apologize.
However, things did not turn out the way they expected it to be.
“Do both of you really want me to return to the Hale family?”
Madison’s question was strange, but she seemed magnanimous.
“That’s good. Both of you can kneel first.”
