Chapter 925: Chapter 925 Learning to Refuse (15)_1
Because of Anita Madris’s goodbye, Madeleine, whose heart had sowhat relaxed, suddenly clenched tight upon hearing those words.
Her hand subconsciously ford into a fist, she strived to steady her figure, staring at Anita Madris with a calm deanor, remaining silent.
Even though Madeleine was good at masking her feelings, Anita Madris still caught a fleeting glimpse of a shattered expression in Madeleine’s eyes.
Such an expression montarily reminded Anita Madris of a scene from over four years prior, when she, like she was now, had played dirty tricks, yet stood as proud as a victor, dealing a crushing blow to the innocent other party.
Even though Madeleine was the destroyer in her love affair with Howard Coleman, she knew that the real problem between her and Howard had co from Howard’s lack of genuine love for her, which explained his not-so-vehent and passionate attitude when she was forced to study abroad. Therefore, when she returned to the country, it was still she who initiated contact with him.
Yet, despite that, she still loathed Madeleine to the point of grinding her teeth.
She was just an ordinary girl, without the noble birth of Madeleine, nor the fearless strength to easily crush soone.
But that does not an she had to swallow her anger quietly for everything.
The debt Madeleine once owed her, now she considered reclaid!
With this in mind, Anita Madris’s laugh beca even more forthright. She first glanced at her wristwatch, then finally spoke, “Okay, Ms. Madeleine, I really am running out of ti, I have to go now. Howard is sitting inside by the window. Ms. Madeleine can give him a greeting when you enter.”
After saying this, Anita Madris curved her lips into a smile, then gracefully walked away, her heels clicking.

Madeleine actually did not want to glance through the glass window at Howard Coleman in the tea restaurant because if she did not look, she could still tell herself that Anita Madris was deceiving her.
But ultimately, she couldn’t resist sneaking a peek and then saw the familiar man, languidly sitting on the couch, furrowing his brow, gazing at the exquisite al in front of him, seemingly deep in thought.
The sumr sunlight wasn’t very intense, but it sohow made her feel dizzy. She pinched the palm of her hand forcefully, trying to remain calm, yet the pain at the bottom of her heart still tore through her fiercely.
The man who’d been entwined in love with her the night before was now having lunch with his beloved in a beautiful tea restaurant at noon.
All of this felt like a loud, shaful slap, resoundingly hitting her face.
No matter if it was in the past or now, although Madeleine seed brighter and more successful than the woman nad Anita Madris, the truth was she was the one in the most disarray.
Madeleine felt like a joke. At that mont, it seed as if the whole world were laughing at her. Without a second thought, she turned around, dashed towards a taxi by the roadside, opened the door, and sat inside, quickly driving away.
The taxi driver asked Madeleine several tis where she wanted to go, but he received no reply. He could only drive aimlessly forward with the traffic, not knowing how much ti had passed before Madeleine finally ca back to her senses. She then took out her mobile phone, wanting to check the ti but saw several missed calls from Andrew Henris instead. That was when Madeleine abruptly rembered that she had indeed made plans to have a al with Andrew.
