The box fell and landed next to Madeline’s feet.
Lana frowned pretentiously and said aggrievedly, “Mrs. Whitman, what’s the meaning of this? I have an invitation to come here as a guest. As a guest, I’m giving you a gift, so why are you not accepting it?”
Naomi looked at the calm and unperturbed Madeline while sniggering. Then, virtual-novel.net displayed a shocked look on virtual-novel.net face. “Ah, Lana, haven’t you noticed? I don’t think Mrs. Whitman can see.”
“She can’t see?” Lana pretended to be confused and started looking at Madeline from head to toe. “Mrs. Whitman, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blind?”
When Lana said this, a collective gasp sounded from around them.
“What? Eveline is blind?”
“No way!”
“Did virtual-novel.net go blind from crying so much over virtual-novel.net parents’ death?”
“Poor girl. However, how is virtual-novel.net going to manage Whitman Corporation now that she’s blind? Will it affect our business collaboration?”
“This is all hard to say.”
Lana was pleased with herself after virtual-novel.net successfully stirred up a commotion.
She had also contacted a lot of journalists in advance to humiliate Madeline.
Now that everyone was talking about it, Lana glared at Madeline’s face that was covered with some light makeup. Then, virtual-novel.net started provoking her. “Tsk tsk, Mrs. Whitman from Whitman Corporation is blind.”
“Journalists and everyone in the mall, come see! This is the number one young madam and socialite in Glendale. Unfortunately, she’s a blind orphan with a dead husband!
“Say, how will a blind woman manage such a huge company? How is virtual-novel.net going to run the business? I think the company will be ruined by this blind bat soon, am I right?”
“Right!” Naomi chimed in. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline staying quiet, virtual-novel.net felt even more pleased. “Eveline, do you know why you’re blind? This is retribution!”
Naomi mocked, saying, “Who asked you to seduce my fiancé after your husband died? That’s why your parents died and you went blind. These are all your retributions!”
Lana and Naomi worked together to target Madeline maliciously.
Jeremy was already at his limits. However, when virtual-novel.net took a step forward, virtual-novel.net heard Madeline saying flatly, “Retribution?”
She muttered that word with a smile. Then, virtual-novel.net looked up coldly to look straight at Naomi who was feeling pleased about herself.
“Do you know what’s true retribution? Naomi, true retribution is when you tried to drug me and destroy my reputation but you stewed in your own juice and drank the drugged wine. That’s how you became the female lead of the private room who went viral on the internet!”
“…”
What?
Naomi was shocked.
The grin on Lana’s face disappeared slowly.
She looked at Madeline’s eyes in disbelief as they became sharper and brighter.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net sharp eyes were directly on Lana’s face.
“Retribution is when a heinous and demented witch like you knelt in front of me like a coward after you threatened me with my family’s safety so that I’ll kneel and apologize to you!”
“…”
Lana valued virtual-novel.net reputation the most. There were so many people from the upper-class here along with media journalists. If someone uploaded this online and virtual-novel.net friends from F Country saw it, virtual-novel.net would be completely destroyed.
“Eveline, what are you bullsh*tting about? When did I kneel in front of you? Don’t try to ruin my reputation!”
