How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch )

Chapter 71

“You must apologize!”

“No way!” Madeleine wasn’t scared at all. “I’m a noble young lady from a wealthy family. How can I apologize to you such an old woman? So ridiculous.”

Helen couldn’t bear it anymore. She rushed forward to grab Madeleine by the collar and then slapped her hard.

“How ill–bred you are!”

Madeleine made Helen really angry. After slapping Madeleine once, Helen hadn’t had enough and wanted to slap her again, but Madeleine hurriedly dodged.

Gilda praised Helen in her mind. She whispered to Helen, “That’s awesome, Aunt Helen.”

“Of course… It’s easy to deal with this kind of brat,” Helen smiled and said. “I got you. You don’t have to do anything.”

Seeing Helen carefully protect her, Gilda felt that she was loved unconditionally. Her eyes were full of dependence.

Gilda thought, “This is really my relative and elder. I don’t have to deliberately please her with something. Even if I do nothing, she’s still willing to stand up for me and protect me.

That slap was so strong that Madeleine had to hold the pillar beside her to stabilize her body.

The sound of slapping attracted everyone’s attention. Madeleine covered her face and called Wayne Donovan, her eldest brother. She pointed at Helen and cried in a pitiful tone with tears in her eyes, “Wayne, this woman slapped me!”

Seeing his sister being bullied in public, Wayne immediately wanted to avenge her. But after seeing whom Madeleine was pointing at, his angry expression instantly changed into a flattering one.

Wayne thought, ‘This is a big shot! We can’t afford to offend her.

“Sorry, it’s our fault. We’ll leave immediately. Please don’t get angry!”

Wayne said to Helen really humbly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Why are you apologizing?! She slapped me. I won’t let off her today!”

“Shut up!” Wayne yelled at Madeleine.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Wayne was worried that Helen would get angry, so he hurriedly pulled Madeleine and wanted to leave first. He thought that they could find a chance to apologize afterward.

But Madeleine stood still stubbornly. “I’m not leaving. This old woman has to apologize to me today.”

A security guard who was wearing sunglasses and a suit appeared. He walked to Helen respectfully.

“Mrs. Moore, do you need me to take them out?”

“No, just watch them embarrass themselves,” Helen ordered indifferently. “They dare not to do something big.

“Yes, Mrs. Moore.”

Then the security guard stood still behind Helen.

Madeleine finally realized something. “Wayne, who is she? That guy called her Mrs. Moore.”

“Who else could it be? Mrs. Moore of the Badford Group, of course!” Wayne pulled Madeleine hard again. “What are you waiting for?! You insulted her at her photography exhibition. Are you gonna stay here?!”

Madeleine was completely stunned and had no strength to move at all.

Madeleine thought, ‘I didn’t expect that bumpkin beside Gilda to have such a noble status. What she said was true. It’s really her photography exhibition!

‘I didn’t notice that at all and even offended such an important partner of the Donovan Real Estate…

“Mrs. Moore, I’m really sorry. My sister is too young and innocent and didn’t recognize you.” Wayne bowed to apologize.

“Young?”

Helen glanced at Madeleine with disdain. “She’s about to have her own child. You said she’s too young? What is she, a giant baby?”

Hearing that, Gilda chuckled.

Gilda thought, ‘Aunt Helen is really awesome. I like that. She’s so aggressive.

The onlookers were gossiping.

“The Donovan family is so bold. Badford Group is powerful now. They try their best to beg the group for help. But they’re even making a scene at Badford Group’s place. What a bunch of idiots.”

“I heard that Wayne came here for business collaboration with Badford Group. I’m afraid he’s gonna fail.”

“No way! I’m still discussing business development with Donovan Real Estate in Frencia recently!”

“Stop it as soon as possible! They’ve offended Badford Group. They’ll never gonna do any business in

Frencia afterward.”

Those chats became louder and louder. Several bosses called their secretaries to ask them to withdraw the

Wayne heard their plans clearly. He looked at Madeleine angrily. “Look what you’ve done!” ט er
