Chapter 124
Alison’s face instantly turned red. She looked at Neville for help.
Neville just played with the cards in his hand and had no intention of doing anything.
She felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, and her chest felt even more suffocated.
It was all Madison’s fault. This b i t c h had divorced Neville, but she still seduced him time and time again. She was always haunting around.
She glared at Madison with red eyes. “I don’t believe that Miss Guzman has such a vulgar taste, Why don’t we change to something beneficial to you?*
Madison burst into laughter. “I seem to have asked for Miss Conner’s opinion just now. You nodded at that time. Why did it become vulgar and evil when it came to me?*
Anthony jeered. “That’s right. Everyone here is a witness. Miss Conner, you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
Alison tried her best to suppress her anger and continued to quibble. “How about this? I’ll settle these losses and give my jewelry to Miss Guzman.”
As she finished, she pushed a pair of ruby earrings to Madison.
“This pair of rubies is of excellent quality. I bought them overseas.”
Her arrogant face seemed to be looking down on Madison for not being able to get such a good thing in her life.
Madison acted interested as she picked up the earrings and appreciated them carefully.
Alison’s eyes flashed with disdain. She was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the real good things. Just a pair of earrings could buy her heart.
“Miss Conner is right. It’s a pity that these things don’t catch my eye.”
Madison then threw the ruby earring into the wine glass in front of Alison.
Alison was so angry that her teeth were chattering. “Madison, don’t be so mean.”
Madison leaned back. “Listen, nonsense! You’re the one who made this request, but you’re blaming it on me instead. It’s as if I’m bullying the loser”
Anthony also chimed in, “Miss Conner, a bet is a bet. Don’t tell us that you can’t afford to lose.”
Alison looked at Neville with red eyes. “Neville, aren’t you going to control your ex-wife? If word gets out, that’s bad for you.”
Just as Neville was about to speak, Madison smiled and said, “I suggest that you don’t interfere in the matters between women. I believe you don’t want trouble.”
Under the colorful lights, her smile was tainted with a hint of charm.
Neville suddenly said, “Yes, I’ll listen to you.”
Everyone smiled tacitly.
Ethan immediately said unhappily, “Madison, don’t worry. Even if Neville really interferes, I’ll back you up.

Chapter 124
Alison almost broke her nails. Her mind was spinning quickly. With her status, she could not dance like a stripper,
She slapped Laurel in the face. “Since it’s your bad idea, you’ll bear the consequencest
it.
Laurel was stunned and subconsciously slapped her back. “Why are you blaming me? You didn’t say no when I suggested it
Laurel started her career as a model and had the advantage of height. This slap directly caused Alison to bleed and her hair to fall messily en ner shoulders.
“Laurel, a word spoken is past recalling. We’re all adults. We have to pay the price for what we’ve done!”
Her words were filled with threats.
Only then did Laurel realize that Alison was her boss. She still had to rely on her. If she offended her, her career would probably come to an end.
“Okay, I’ll dance.
In any case, there were only these few big shots in the room, and they were all young rich men. Perhaps after she finished this dance, she would be able to attract somebody’s attention.
Just as Laurel was about to take off her clothes, Madison said, “Since you guys are scapegoating, can I ask Miss Davison to dance in the hall?*
Anthony jeered. “That’s the only fair way. After all, the one who lost is Miss Conner.”
Laurel immediately screamed, “Madison, you’re crazy!”
She was a well-known actress after all. Moreover, she was about to lead in a blockbuster. If people knew that she had performed an erotic dance, her career would be ended.
Madison smiled and looked at Alison. “Why don’t you do it yourself, Miss Conner?”
Alison knew that Madison was using her to punish Laurel, but she could only protect herself now. She scolded Laurel, “Do as Miss Conner says!”
Anthony immediately sent someone to drag Laurel to the hall.
A moment later, there was an excited uproar.
Alison felt like her ears were about to explode.
As an actress, although clothes were easy to take off, they were very difficult to wear back. Madison’s ask almost destroyed Laurel, and it also made the resources Alison had spent on her go to waste.
Madison smiled and raised the wine glass in her hand. “Miss Conner, let me give you a toast.”
Alison was so angry that she almost exploded. However, to show her magnanimity, she still picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
She revealed a bloodthirsty smile at Madison. “Miss Guzman, life is like a poker table. No one will always be the loser, and no one will always be the winner.”
Madison smiled and said, “Then I look forward to Miss Conner turning the tables.”
Alison said goodbye to everyone in a huff. When she reached the door, she took a deep look at Neville and left.
Anthony called for people to continue the fun. Perhaps it was Neville’s instructions, but everyone was trying to shift the

topic to him and his ex-wife.
Madison felt uncomfortable all over and found an excuse to leave.
Ethan picked up his suit jacket and followed closely behind.
Seeing the two of them leave one after another, Neville’s expression was especially gloomy.
Anthony spread his hands and said, “Mr. Preston, I’ve already tried my best, but your ex-wife listens to no one.”
Ryan sighed and said, “The way is long. If you had predicted today, you wouldn’t have made that s t u p i d decision.”
Neville gulped down a full glass of wine. It tasted much more bitter than ever.
Sometimes, he really could not see through her heart. She loved him so much, but she always pretended to be cold and indifferent.
That thick diary was not a lie.
Even if she was playing hard, there should be a limit. After all, he was too indulgent towards her.
Madison and Ethan walked along the corridor leading to the garage. The surrounding light was dim.
Ethan suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Madison, I have something to say to you.”
Madison seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, so she said, “Mr. Collins, some words will make us awkward. It’s better to hide them in your heart. One day, they will be washed by time”
Ethan smiled bitterly. “You’re so cruel. You didn’t even give me a chance to speak.”
Tknow that Mr. Collins intends to apologize for the auction. But there’s no need. After all, I’m a person who takes revenge on the spot. Not only did 1 offend Mrs. Collins, but I also shattered your family heirloom. We’re even.”
Ethan seemed to have thought of something, and his voice became m u f fl e d. “Did you deliberately irritate my mother back
then?”
Madison said honestly, I guess so.”
Ethan smiled bitterly and said, “That’s a special way of rejecting me.”
Everyone knew that Madison had been tortured by Regina in the past. So she would be disgusted by this kind of thing. After his mother made a fuss at the auction, everyone would know that Madison had no chance of entering the Collins family.
Mr. Collins, thank you for your admiration, but I hope that we are just partners.”
Ethan suddenly leaned forward and pressed her against the wall. His beautiful eyes flashed with a strange emotion. “Then Miss Guzman, we can be partners in another way.”
