Madeline couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. “Forgot your room key?”

“Of course not.” Irene’s expression had completely changed from last night, and her tone was a lat sharp

Earlier, she had acted patiful in front of Jammy, but as the daughter of a ruthless ang lord, she wasn’t naturally gentle or kind. She only pretense because she cared for finuny.

“I need to talk to you. Come to my ron sakd Irene.

“Sorry, I’ns not available right now. Garyy’s feeling unwell, and I need to help him take his medicine. If it’s not urgent, can it wait ten Madeline

Irene frowned. “No, now means now. He’s a grown man; can’t be take his medicine at his own! Does he need you to feed him?”

Madeline paused, noting Irene’s pressing attitude, and said, “If it’s that urgent, you can tell me here?

She knew that given Gavin’s temperament, if she went back to the rooms to drop off the fruits, he’d probably pester her for a while

Irene said before walking ahead.

“I don’t like discussing things in public. Let’s go he can take his medicine later. It’s no bag deal”

Madeline was a bit annoyed but followed her anyway.

Once inside the room, Irene flopped onto the hotel sofa and shook the pile of receipts on the table. “So, for this trip. Jimmy’s been paying for everything?”

She counted the receipts and let out a few cold laughs. It seemed to her that Madelin and Gavin were just treating Jimny like an ATM. As his girlfriend, she wasn’t happy to see this happening.

Irene said, “I tallied it up. It’s a total of 10 thousand dollars. Even if you split it equally, you and your friend still owe thousand dollars”

Madeline glanced at the receipts. Ten thousand was nothing to them. She hadn’t expected Irene to get so worked up over money.

She replied, “Alright. Jimmy has indeed spent time with us on this trip. I’ll transfer the full ten thousand dollars to him”

“Wait, just transfer it to me. Don’t let him know about this” Irene immediately provided Madeline with her bank account details, Tve already spent a lot on him too, so don’t think I’m taking advantage. It’s just that we’re at the age where marriage is on the horizon, and my dad expects a large dowry. It’s been hard for Jimmy to save money. You will get married sooner or later too, so you must understand how important it is to be mindful of your man’s money,

Madeline said nothing, pursing her lips as she transferred the 10 thousand dollars to Irene. Then, putting away her phone, she said, “I’ll head back now. I need to check on Gavyy.”

“We’re not done yet. Since you’ve been so straightforward, I’ll cut to the chase,” Irene crossed her legs and leaned back leisurely in her chair. “I come from a distinguished family. Once Jimmy and I are married, you won’t be in the same league as us anymore. Honestly, you should keep your divance.

Tcan tell he treats you well and even differently, but that’s just because he’s generous and boyal. You’d better not mistake that for anything more “You two should head back soon and stop wasting his time. He’s a busy man, always running around to gain my father’s approval.

raught the idiom about living by the sea. “My family does own a villa by the sea, not that it’s any of your business.”

“Oh, it means you’re minding everyone’s business,” Madeline kindly explained.

She thought, I am not bothered by the money, but Irene is being too rude. She is pretty, and she can certainly act cute, but she turns out to be so arregant and behind Jimmy’s back.

“You dare insult me?” Irene shot up, furious. Do you really think I won’t tell Jimmy that his ‘poor relative‘ behaves like this?”

“Go ahead. I don’t care. It’s not like I’m the one living with him. Why should I care how he sees me?” With that, Madeline turned and walked out. Irene was left in the room, stomping her feet in anger.

As a drug lord’s daughter, everyone back home treated her like royalty. They admired her, spoiled her, and practically worshipped her.

She complained to herself. No one has ever dared to speak to me like that, and no one ever will. This woman is so full of herself

She barked. “Damn it, she’s definitely interested in Jimmy. Greedy woman! One boyfriend isn’t enough for her–she’s got her sights set on my Jimmy too.

She thought to herself. This woman must stay around just to be close to Jimmy. I won’t let her have her way. Competing with me for a man? Clearly, she has no idea who she is dealing with!

Meanwhile, Gavin lay in bed, rubbing his stomach and sipping hot water, propped up by soft pillows

When Madeline returned, he turned to her, noticing her sour expression. What happened, sweetheart? Are you you? I am sorry. I promise I be fine soon, and tomorrow we can go scuba diving, okay?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
