Chapter 52
Madison stopped just as her knee hit Alison’s abdomen.
Alison was pale with fright and pressed against the wall, trembling uncontrollably.
A trace of disdain appeared in Madison’s eyes. Typically, when a pregnant woman faced harm, shewould instinctively protect her child. However, Alison did not. It seemed she was selfish, only treatingthe child as a
tool.
Alison, realizing Madison hadn’t intended to harm her, covered her abdomen. Her reaction was bothembarrassing and infuriating. “Madison, you are truly malicious. You’ve been Mrs. Preston for threeyears, yet couldn’t bear a child. And now you’re attempting to harm the child Neville and I areexpecting!”
Madison raised an eyebrow and said, “How long have you been pregnant?”
Alison bit her lips and said, “Three months.”
Madison chuckled. “Three months ago, Neville and I hadn’t got a divorce. This child is evidence ofNeville’s infidelity, proving that you’re a homewrecker. I could sue in court, demand a property divisionfrom Neville, and- you would become the target of public criticism. Your unborn child would naturally belabeled as illegitimate. So, what makes you so arrogant?”
Hearing that Madison wanted to take the property, Alison said through her clenched teeth, “You’redreaming!!
Despite Madison’s beautiful smile, her eyes held a chilling edge. “This only benefits me. Moreover, itwill and Neville in the limelight, facing public condemnation. Why not do it?”

Alison trembled. According to her original plan, after the competition, she would use the media to stirup rumors, revealing her relationship with Neville. If Madison acted out like this, she and Neville wouldend up with tarnished reputations.
Trying to salvage the situation, Alison gently clasped Madison’s wrist. “Madison, you loved Neville,right? You wouldn’t ruin him. Besides, you and Neville can part on good terms, can’t you?”
Madison coldly flung her hand away. “What dealings you and Neville have are no longer my concern. Iwarned you before. If you want to marry into the Preston family with dignity, behave yourself.”

Madison walked away like a proud queen, leaving Alison dissatisfied.

Despite being in a winning position and attempting to use stolen glory to suppress Madison, Alisonended up
humiliated.
For some reason, a hint of jealousy arose in Alison towards Madison. When she realized this, shechuckled.
Perhaps she lost grace just because she was too angry. Alison didn’t think she should envy a womanwith no power, no influence, and no ability.
The only thing worth mentioning might be Madison’s face. However, that face would only attract scornfrom women, and men would see her as just a plaything. A man of status would never marry eyecandy.
The competition was about to begin. Ross, watching Madison calmly adjust her black velvet, wasfeeling anxious. “Shall we just concede? Losing is not embarrassing.”
Even if Alison won, the glory didn’t belong to her. The four sets of wedding dresses were crafted byMadison.
Madison said lightly, “From childhood to now, I’ve only lost once. I will never admit defeat before I eventry.”
The only person she had ever lost to was Neville, and she had learned the lesson. So, she didn’t allowherself to lose a second time.
Ross, having been with her for many years, knew that Madison would not easily give up.
“Alright, anything else I can do for you?”
Madison thought for a moment. A sly glint appeared in her eyes as she said, “Help me get someaccessories from Miss Conner’s dressing room.
Ross raised an eyebrow and said, “Are you sure she’d help you?”
Madison smiled. “She just said she would give me some accessories in public. She wouldn’t embarrassherself.”

Meanwhile, Alison’s dressing room was crowded with flatterers. With everyone watching, Alisoncouldn’t go back
on her words.
Ross gave her a thumbs-up and, after a while, returned with two boxes filled with accessories.

“Miss Conner seems a bit off.”
Madison checked the boxes, satisfied with the contents. “Express my gratitude to her. After all, she hascontributed a bit to my work.”
Before going on stage, Madison changed into a white one-shoulder evening gown, tying her hairloosely and revealing her graceful neck. She put on a mask and walked towards the backstage with thestaff.
Ross walked through the corridor, intending to return to the audience area, but a man blocked his way.
Neville was leaning against the wall, playing with a lighter. The flickering light highlighted his stern face,making others fear.
Ross wanted to turn around, but this path was the only way to the audience area. Moreover, if he didso, it would seem like he was afraid and would invite ridicule.
He bravely walked over. Neville unexpectedly handed him a cigarette. “Mr. Castro, accompany me tothe smoking room for a smoke.”
Neville’s tone was commanding, making refusal impossible.
Ross felt like he was under a spell and followed Neville into the smoking room.
Although he had scolded Neville many times in front of Madison, being in close proximity to him madeRoss unnerved.
“Mr. Preston, if there’s something to say, just say it directly.”
Neville puffed smoke, which enveloped his handsome face. His eyes were stern as he said, “My petdog ran away I wonder if Mr. Castro found her.”
Ross immediately understood what Neville meant. He was mocking Madison.
Despite facing this cold and stern figure, Ross was not afraid. Madison was his best friend, and hewould not allow anyone to insult her.
In a fit of anger, Ross retorted, “Mr. Preston, don’t go too far. Madison is an independent person, notanyone’s pet. Moreover, you’re already divorced. Don’t you think it’s tasteless to scheme against yourex-wife at this
time?”

Neville narrowed his eyes. “Even if I don’t want something, it won’t be your turn to take it.”
“Madison is outstanding. Numerous people want to pursue her. To her, you’re just a scar peeled off, awound scraped away,” said Ross.
Neville suddenly threw a punch at Ross.
Ross, clearly not Neville’s match, was quickly knocked to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood,glaring at Neville with red eyes.
Neville wiped the blood off his fingers and said with a mocking smile on his lips, “If I don’t loosen theleash, do you think she can escape?”
