Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 71:

After Jenna regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital bed, wracked with pain. Seeing Phyllis, she burst into tears.

It took her a while to find her voice. Through her sobs, she asked, “Mom, did you find those people? They attacked me out of nowhere.”

Phyllis gazed at Jenna with a pained expression and sighed deeply. “I started searching as soon as I heard you were hospitalized, but the surveillance footage was destroyed. I haven’t been able to find them at all. Jenna, don’t worry. I will continue to look for them. How dare they assault my daughter? I won’t let them get away with this.”

Hearing that the surveillance video had been destroyed, Jenna felt even more devastated. She had been attacked so brutally, yet her assailants remained unidentified. She had never felt so humiliated.noveldrama

Then, a thought struck her, and she asked, “Did Madisyn have something to do with this?”

Phyllis was taken aback. “Her? Does she even have the means?”

“She’s now the president of Natural Beauty. I don’t know who supports her, but she could definitely pull it off. Besides, she’s my only enemy.” Jenna sobbed miserably.

Phyllis responded firmly, “Alright. I’ll go and confront her. If she’s involved, I will ensure justice is served.”

“Mom, thank you,” Jenna murmured, looking pitiable.

Then Phyllis set off for Natural Beauty.

Phyllis was taken aback by the opulent decor of Natural Beauty’s office. The company was nearing half the size of the Chapman Group. How on earth did Madisyn qualify to be the president?

Phyllis was halted by the receptionist.

“I want to see your president. Tell her her mother is here.”

The receptionist, not wanting to cause offense, hurriedly complied.

As Madisyn was preparing to leave for the day, she received the message. It couldn’t be Elaine, so it had to be…

“Ask her to leave,” Madisyn stated dismissively. She had no desire to see anyone from the Chapman family.

The receptionist relayed this message to Phyllis, who was shocked that Madisyn would turn her away so bluntly.

Determined, Phyllis attempted to go in, but the security staff escorted her out promptly. Onlookers watched, amused by the spectacle. Phyllis felt humiliated, her expression darkening.

She resolved to wait for Madisyn to leave the building.

When Madisyn finally emerged, Phyllis confronted her.

“Madisyn, I’ve been waiting for you.” Her patience had worn thin, and in a fit of anger, Phyllis attempted to slap Madisyn.

But before her hand could connect, it was caught and deflected with force.

Startled, Phyllis turned to see a strikingly handsome man who exuded an air of nobility.

Phyllis was taken aback by his striking appearance. He was noticeably more handsome than any celebrity in the showbiz industry, yet his expression was cold.

He released Phyllis’s hand and stood protectively beside Madisyn.

Standing tall and firm next to Madisyn, he immediately gave her a sense of security. Madisyn caught Andrew’s gaze. He was looking at her concernedly and asked, “Are you alright?”

“Yes, you arrived just in time,” Madisyn replied with a smile.

Andrew’s gaze softened. He was captivated by her smile, seemingly lost in the moment.

Phyllis nearly stumbled. Looking up, she saw the two sharing a tender moment and felt her anger surge. “Madisyn, why didn’t you stop this man from attacking me?”

“Ma’am, if you hadn’t acted aggressively, why would he need to intervene? Moreover, he didn’t attack you. He merely prevented you from hitting me, correct? And even if you were attacked, why should I intervene?” Madisyn looked down at Phyllis with a hint of sarcasm.

“You—” Phyllis was in disbelief. It had only been a short while since they last saw each other, and she was shocked that Madisyn would dare talk to her like that now. “Madisyn, I’m your mother.”

“Oh? But when I was thrown out, you said that Jenna was your only daughter,” Madisyn retorted coldly.

Phyllis was momentarily speechless, but quickly retorted, “I raised you, and you owe me a lot! It’s only been a short while since you left our family, yet you treat me like this. Aren’t you worried what others will think?”

Madisyn replied tersely, “Did you really raise me? How much have you actually spent on me? More than the cost of your purse?”

“Cut the crap. Did you have someone attack Jenna?” Phyllis asked angrily.

“Do I look like I have nothing better to do?” Madisyn responded, her patience wearing thin.

Phyllis was taken aback, but as she studied Madisyn’s face, she found that Madisyn was not lying. “If I find out it was you, I’ll never forgive you.”

Standing beside Madisyn, Andrew gave Phyllis a chilling look, his presence so daunting that Phyllis felt intimidated. She quickly left after her final remark.

“It looks like Jenna was attacked. Was that your doing?” Madisyn turned to Andrew.

Andrew simply shrugged. “I got there too late.”

Madisyn caught his meaning and nodded.

Andrew then drove her home and came into the Johns family’s house with her.

Elaine greeted him warmly. “Andrew, welcome. Please, make yourself at home.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Johns,” he replied.

Elaine was quite fond of Andrew, appreciating his intelligence, manners, and respectable family background—qualities anyone would admire.

Just as Elaine was about to serve tea, Dane walked in and immediately said, “Andrew, I need to speak with you.”

He then led Andrew outside.

Elaine was puzzled by their sudden closeness.

“Mom.”

As soon as Madisyn spoke, Elaine snapped out of her reverie. She looked at Madisyn with a warm smile. “Sweetheart, what’s the matter?”

Madisyn was glancing at her mobile phone when she stumbled upon a news article online that reported Josie had been attacked. She showed the article to Elaine and questioned, “Did Dad or Dane have anything to do with this?”
