Neville frowned at Daisy’s words. “I just don’t want the reputation of the Preston family to be ruined by the
scandal.”
Daisy still wanted to push her luck and asked, “Can I apologize to her privately?”
If the media captured her groveling to Madison, Daisy would dare not show up in the upper class anymore.
Neville raised an eyebrow and said, “If you don’t want to apologize, let the Preston family handle the aftermath for you. But as an exchange, you must leave the country tonight.”
Daisy bit her lips. Neville knew what she was most afraid of. Since childhood, she had feared him, and now she could only yield. “I… I will apologize to Madison.”
Though she gave in, Daisy harbored hatred toward Madison.
Neville turned to the driver and gave a few instructions. The driver walked to the van across the street, saying, “If you want to take photos, do it openly. Just make sure to delete the previous video. Otherwise, Mr. Preston won’t
let it slide.”
These papar a z i had been there for a while, capturing scenes of Lily hitting Madison and Madison slapping
Neville.
Despite being hired by Hazel to support Madison, the pap a r a z z i were excited to see Neville, Any news about him: would be explosive.
However th
driver’s words dampened their excitement. If Neville was angry, the paparaz z i would be done for They wouldn’t risk their lives for fame.
They reluctantly deleted the photos and videos and then carried their cameras towards Daisy.
Facing the cameras, Daisy felt petrified.
She initially planned to involve one or two unknown media, pay them off later, and discreetly delete the videos. Unexpectedly, a horde of journalists swarmed in. She would definitely lose face in public this time.
Daisy’s eyes reddened. Looking at Neville with teary eyes, she said, “Neville…”

principle.”

Her hope had vanished. She silently cursed Madison again and again.
After a while, Madison emerged in a new outfit. The black jumpsuit highlighted her tall and slender figure. Her elegance and beauty instantly captivated everyone present.
Neville frowned slightly as his gaze landed on her collarbone. He loved to kiss her collarbone when they had sex. It irritated him that others were gazing at her.
Daisy, feeling inferior, clenched her fists. She said with unwillingness, “Miss Guzman, I’m sorry to offend you.”
Daisy expected Madison to let it go, but after a long while, Madison didn’t respond to her apology.
Daisy stared at Madison resentfully as if warning her not to go too far.
Madison, seeing through Daisy’s intentions, coldly chuckled. “Sorry, I can’t feel your sincerity.”
Daisy was p i s s e d off. But at the thought of Neville’s threat, she swallowed her pride and said, “Miss Guzman, I’m
sorry.”
Madison casually asked, “Oh, why apologize to me?”
Daisy managed to hold back her anger. Grinding her teeth, she said, “I shouldn’t have been disrespectful to you that day.”
Madison raised an eyebrow and said, “I have no grudge against you. Why did you instigate your friends to
slander me?”
Daisy, oblivious to Madison’s trap, muttered, “I’ve apologized. Don’t push your luck.”
Madison looked down at her indifferently, a cruel coldness flashing in her eyes. “Not every apology can erase the harm caused. It takes a long time for those you’ve hurt to heal. Your apology is just a way to save face for yourself. Why should I accept it?”
Neville’s brows furrowed even deeper. He felt that she directed at him.
Daisy, thinking Madison might let it go for the sake of Neville, held a glimmer of hope. After all, Madison still

harbored an infatuation for him.
She was stunned for a while before asking, “What do you mean?”
Madison mocked, “Is there a problem with your hearing? I said I won’t accept your apology.”
Daisy couldn’t stand it any longer. Just as she was about to flare up, Neville pulled her behind him.
“You have the right not to accept the apology. Miss Guzman, if you have any further requests, feel free to contact me at any time,” said Neville.
Faced with Neville’s cold face and his overwhelming aura, the reporters dared not ask more and dispersed.
There was still some gain. After organizing the video, it would likely be on the trending list again. They didn’t disappoint Hazel.-
Neville ordered the driver to take Daisy back to the car. He knew her too well. Spoiled by Regina since childhood, Daisy couldn’t handle any grievances. If he didn’t take her away, Daisy might have a dispute with Madison.
Madison coldly stared at Neville and said, “You’ve achieved your goal. Why aren’t you leaving?”
In her eyes, Neville forced Daisy to apologize to her just to save the reputation of the Preston family.
In reality, according to her plan, Madison intended to provoke Daisy, revealing her aggressive side, However, Neville’s arrival disrupted her plan, somewhat salvaging the dignity of the Preston family.
Neville tightened his lips. Others addressing him as Mr. Preston wouldn’t stir any of his emotions, but hearing it
from Madison made him feel sharp.
“Madison, I’d like to talk to you.”
Madison sneered. “What do you want to talk about? Your feelings while enjoying the show or the price you offer
to let me delete the videos?”
Although Madison had taken care of her face, the fingerprints were still visible due to the tenderness of her skin.
Neville, feeling irritated, said, “It wasn’t me who asked your mother to come. Don’t blame me for this.”
To Madison, whether Neville or Daisy brought Lily here, it made little difference. Their goal was to enjoy her

misery.
Madison provocatively gestured to Neville, who approached. She held a bank card between her fingers and slid it into his pants pocket.
“I don’t know how much Lily took from you. Consider this money my payment for her. But if you give her money again, I won’t pay for her.”

Neville’s face darkened instantly. He could never have foreseen that he, who always settled issues with money, would one day be paid twice by the woman he once despised the most.
