Chapter: 868

“As long as you've made your decision, Don't allow yourself to regret it."

“iihat's the difference? My reputation is already tarnished. I'm eager to marry a rich man."

Kathy added with a sneer, "It's still better than being destitute."

Kathy remembered how her grandma and mom always urged her to marry some ordinary guy who wouldn't care about her reputation. But she defied the odds and decided to marry a rich man.

“Madeline, I'll move in with Jordy. My brother got a caretaker to look after you. Take care of yourself and ignore the gossip. Even if you feel okay, don't wander around. The doctor said you need rest to get better." Kathy's tone softened, showing concern for Madeline.

Madeline and Derek were now the talk of the town. Rumors about them were everywhere, generating endless posts online.

Watching all this, Kathy felt sorry for Madeline. The insults were downright cruel. Since Madeline was pregnant, it was best to keep her away from those nasty comments.

“Hey, did you use that aphrodisiac I gave you? Who'd you use it on?"

She had assumed it was for Norah when she showed up at the wedding, but it had been days and nothing had happened.

Madeline clenched her fist. If it hadn't been for the mishap at the wedding, she would've secretly drugged Norah during the toast, making her pay for her actions.

But the short videos played at the wedding showed her and Derek in intimate moments. Some of them were her idea, some Brian recorded willingly. Those videos were supposed to be on Derek's computer. But they ended up on the big screen at the wedding for everyone to see.

“I was gonna use it on Norah, but I haven't yet.”

Kathy suddenly understood. "No wonder you had Norah at the wedding.

Did you know what happened? After you fell, my grandma asked my dad to get Norah to help you. But she straight up refused, saying your well-being wasn't her problem."

Madeline scoffed. "She would throw a party if I kicked the bucket.

That's why I'm using this drug on her for sure. And we'll sniff out the rat who played those videos at my wedding."

Derek had made an early exit, partly for business-related issues and partly for snooping on the person causing chaos.

“Derek already reported the whole thing to the cops. They're on it, fishing for clues. He said it came from some shady source. Cops will handle it from here."

If Norah caught wind of this, she would just laugh it off. What proof could they even obtain? Did they think their weak tech skills would uncover anything? Dream on.

She'd scrubbed her online footprints ages ago. Even a top-tier hacker wouldn't find anything incriminating on her.

"Rest up, Madeline. Anything you need, just call..."

“Kathy, are you ready? Let's go."

Jordy's booming voice echoed from the living room, tough as nails.

Kathy responded back, "On my way!" Then she leaned in close to Madeline. “Hey, if you're still after that aphrodisiac, I can score more from my buddy."
