Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 8:

Phyllis and Jenna awaited anxiously at the entrance of the mall. Spotting Jeffry, Phyllis brightened momentarily, hoping for good news.

“Honey, there you are. Did Mr. Johns send you to sort things out with the staff here?” Phyllis inquired, a hopeful smile on her face.

“Shut up! This is all your fault!” Jeffry snapped, his temper flaring. “Had you not stirred up trouble today, Mr. Johns wouldn’t have canceled our partnership! Why did you have to accuse his staff?”

Phyllis’s face turned pale at his words, shock overtaking her features. The thought that a simple accusation could jeopardize significant business dealings seemed unfathomable.

“How can this be? Does Mr. Johns truly value his employees to such an extent?” she murmured, disbelief and concern etching her voice.

Jeffry was unable to mask his frustration. “You’re such an idiot! Do you ever think before you act? We need the Johns family far more than they need us!” His words were sharp, each one echoing the gravity of their missed chance.

Jenna, witnessing the growing tension between her parents, felt a wave of unease. She interjected softly, hoping to quell the storm, “Mom, Dad, please stop fighting. The dance competition is about to start, and I’ll be seeing Ms. Johns there. Maybe I can still make things right for us.”

Snapped out of her dismay, Phyllis grasped at this new thread of hope. “Yes, you’re right. Ms. Johns, Mr. Glenn Johns’s sister, might be able to help. Jenna, if you can speak with her, there might still be a chance to mend things.”

Jeffry, his anger subsiding slightly, nodded in agreement. “Jenna, it seems we have to count on you now.”

Jenna reassured them, “With our family facing these challenges, of course, I’ll step in. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I’ll do everything I can to help.”

This reassurance from Jenna lightened Phyllis’s and Jeffry’s spirits. In Jenna, they saw not just their daughter but a beacon of hope—unlike Madisyn, who had only brought them frustration. Besides, even if they didn’t get the chance to cooperate with the Johns Group eventually, they still had support from another group, so they remained optimistic that their business could continue its steady growth.

Inside the bustling mall, Elaine treated Madisyn to an impromptu shopping spree, piling up fashionable clothes that Madisyn couldn’t turn down. Elaine’s enthusiasm was infectious as she led Madisyn next to a jewelry store. Elaine’s petite frame belied her zealous energy for shopping, and Madisyn found herself struggling to keep pace.

As Elaine perused the dazzling array of jewelry, Madisyn’s phone buzzed with a message that snapped her attention away from the sparkling displays.

“Boss, did you have a falling out with the Chapman family?”

How did word spread so fast? Madisyn didn’t shy away from the truth. “Yes, I’ve returned to my birth family,” she responded plainly.

“Really? Boss, where are you staying now? I’d like to visit you sometime!”

“At the Johns family’s residence,” Madisyn typed back, her reply succinct.

A brief pause followed before the shocked response arrived. “Wait a second! You mean the Johns family, the wealthiest in Gemond?”

“That’s right!” Madisyn confirmed.noveldrama

Jared Cooper was overwhelmed by the news. “Wow, Boss, I’ve always sensed something special about you. You never quite meshed with the Chapman family. The Johns family, now that’s a fitting place for you! Now that you’ve moved on, should we continue our contract with the Chapman family for the next quarter? Honestly, they seem quite inept without your guidance. Without the support you provided over the years, they would have likely fallen apart long ago!”

Although every child owed a great debt to their parents for raising them, Jared knew how the Chapman family had treated her. Madisyn had done more than enough for the Chapman family. They didn’t deserve it.

Jared expressed his concerns with a note of urgency. “The Chapman Group’s annual revenue was about fifty million, and forty million was generated by us. If we had partnered with another company over these years, our profits could have soared tenfold! Boss, do you still wish to continue doing business with the Chapman Group?”

Madisyn’s response was serene yet resolute. “No.”

The Chapmans had marginalized her for too long; she had contributed more than enough to their cause, and any further assistance would only be undue charity.

Suddenly, Elaine presented a stunning pink diamond bracelet to Madisyn. “What do you think of this?” she asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

“It’s beautiful, but…” Madisyn began, hesitant.

“Great! We’ll buy it!” Elaine declared before Madisyn could finish, her decision swift. Glenn must have been incredibly capable to support Elaine’s shopping habits.

After a lavish afternoon of shopping, laden with bags, they returned to a home buzzing with unexpected vibrancy. Seated on the sofa were two notably handsome men, each radiating a distinct charisma.

Waylon, with his effortless, roguish allure, seemed to embody a carefree spirit that could captivate any onlooker. In stark contrast, Andrew presented an icy demeanor, like an untouched glacier. His black tailored suit enhanced his imposing, mysterious presence, his striking features rendering onlookers marveling, yet his chilly aura kept them at bay.

Across from them sat Kristine, radiating pride. Though not a biological Johns, she was the envy of all the rich young ladies in Gemond. With a famous brother like Waylon and a fiancé like Andrew, heir to the influential Klein family of Ansport, Kristine felt secure. Despite Madisyn’s return, she was confident her place in their hearts remained steadfast and unshaken.
