Chapter 1022
“You stole my fiancé, you wh*re!”
Naomi slandered Madeline with horrid vulgarities.
Her hatred for Madeline was evident from the look in her eyes.
Ryan frowned and pulled Madeline behind him. “It’s no one else’s fault that we broke up, Naomi Lionel! You were the one who revealed how heinous a woman you were. I refuse to date a person like you, let alone get married to you.”
Naomi continued to rage as her eyes fell on Madeline’s hand in Ryan’s and how he was defending her. “What’s wrong with a woman like me? How am I worse than this b*tch? She just got divorced and she’s already your girlfriend? That just means that you’ve been together before she got divorced!
“Hmph! She acts like this dignified and kind lady when in truth, she’s the kind who’d even steal from charity funds! Eveline Montgomery, you’re nothing but a fake b*tch!”
Ryan, who was rarely angered, was now enraged.
However, Madeline held him back and replied calmly, “Ryan and I are an upright couple, Naomi. Don’t just go around spitting lies and slander. As for the charity funds, do you have any proof that I was the one who stole it?”
From afar, Jeremy’s focus faltered the moment he heard the first half of Madeline’s defense.
His heart hurt, but he made sure not to show it.
“Isn’t the transfer details enough proof? What more are you trying to deny?” Naomi pointed at the receipt in the woman’s hands.
The woman was furious as well. “Stop lying already, Eveline! How could you do such a thing as the new heir to Montgomery Enterprise and the person in charge of tonight’s charity gala? You’re a disgrace to Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery.”
“If that’s the case, then let’s call the police.” Jeremy’s voice cut through the crowd.
Hearing her, the person in charge quickly called to check.
She found that Eve had indeed received 100,000 dollars two days ago.
It was wonderful. Now nobody present except Ryan and Jeremy believed Madeline.
Lana smirked sinisterly by the side as the scene unfurled just as she had imagined.
Both witnesses and evidence pointed at Madeline. Whatever she was going to say next would only be an excuse.
She would make Madeline into a two-faced wh*re who liked to steal charity funds. Every bit of her dignity that she lost that day, she would make Madeline pay for it!
Yet just as Lana thought that Madeline was about to lose her status and image, she watched Madeline turn to look at her with a deep smile. “What a flawless set-up you have here. What a shame that there will always be miscalculations.”
