Chapter 19 Doomed
The Royal Dining Hall’s restrooms were quite well–equipped, having more than just the basic facilities. They had separate areas for drying clothes, changing, and even a nursing area. The narrow partition in the middle was hollowed out, but
Madison still managed to spot me.
Her face, flushed with passion just moments ago, instantly froze in shock.
She probably couldn’t believe she had run into me in Solvian. Her eyes widened as she stared at me for a long time. Her face turned as pale as a sheet when she realized that she was
not mistaken.
Instinctively, she tried to push away the playboy she was with, causing him to complain.
“Babe, didn’t you say you wanted some excitement?”
“…”
“Don’t tell me you’re scared now. Weren’t you the one who said it’s more thrilling with people around?” The playboy bent down and scooped Madison up before carrying her into the men’s
restroom.
I had no intention of continuing to spy on them.
After opening the restroom door that Annie was in, I was about to head back to the private room to find Evan when Madison came rushing over.
Our eyes met, and I caught a flash of panic in hers, but she quickly masked it with a haughty warning,
“Julia, you better keep your mouth shut about what just happened. If word gets back to Samuel, you’ll be the one taking the fall.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “What does this have to do with me?”
Madison lifted her chin. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to behind the scenes. Yes, I’m also Mr. Sinclair’s daughter.
“A few days ago, he suddenly said he wouldn’t be giving us any more living expenses. He said every penny he earned belongs
to you.
“Heh? Why is that? We’re both his daughters, so why do you get all his assets while my mom and I have to scrape by? If we weren’t so desperate, do you think I’d be here juggling all these men?”
“So even if Samuel finds out, he’ll only hate you. For him, I’m. the pure and innocent one, deserving of the best this world has to offer, while you’re the one always targeting us.”
Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. So was it my fault she became a femme fatale? I didn’t know how to reason with her.
“Madison, I gave you money and a meal card back when you couldn’t afford food. I even used my allowance to help pay your tuition and occasionally bought you clothes.
“I didn’t do those out of guilt as I owe you nothing, and neither
does my mother. I only pitied my hardworking deskmate who had managed to get into the best high school in Juville, hoping that one day, she’d make her mother proud through her own. efforts.
“Turns out, this is how you’ve been ‘working hard‘–impressive!” With that, I gave her a thumbs–up.
How could I not admire her? There were many ways to make money, but she chose to seduce men.
“Don’t worry. I won’t say a word.”
Madison was stunned. “You… you really won’t say anything? Are you sure you’re not going to tell Samuel?”
I pointed at my neck, implying something else. At that moment, she seemed to recall the “mosquito–swatting” incident outside the gym, and her gaze at me was now filled with anger and disbelief.
“You…you…”
“Madison, for the sake of the three years we sat next to each other in school, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. If you want to marry Samuel, you better get pregnant. Otherwise, I have a better shot.”
Yes. I was provoking Madison to hold on tighter to Samuel.
Even if Francis and Wendy wanted to use me to leverage my mother’s influence, if Samuel got Madison pregnant, they couldn’t forcibly separate them.
“Let’s both do our best and see who gets lucky first! And remember, by ‘lucky‘, I mean ‘pregnant‘. Just wait and see!”
With that, I turned and walked away. I thought I had won this round, but as I turned around and saw Evan walking away, my mind went blank. All I could think of was that I was doomed.
