Chapter 5 The Past Story Hence, he normally would not take her out. Reginald only met Maddy twice One time, it was Nate who forgot to take the documents. Maddy was afraid of delaying his work, so she gent it to him at the company. In the face of Nate’s cold gaze, there was a flash of disappointment on his wife’s face, but she didn’t complain. She looked obedient and sensible. One was for Old Master Levitan’s birthday celebration, and that was the second year of Nate’s marriage to her. The entire Levitan Family did not welcome ber, nor did they introduce her to anyone That night, Maddy acted like a maid that the Levitan Family did not spend much money on. She was busy, but she didn’t even get a compliment Instead, she was despised. After that, she stayed in the corner. In the face of the mockery of those who had ulterior motives, she did not retaliate and merely lowered her head in silence, In Reginald’s memory, Nate’s wife was a coward who accepted all bully and dare not to fight back. Tonight, the woman with a fierce aura, as if she was going to shatter someone, is definitely not her. Nate continued to stare in the direction of Maddy leaving without saying a word. Reginald cleared her throat and changed the topic. “I bumped into Dion at the entrance when I came.” Nate replied, “Who is it?” “Glorious Jewelry’s Chief Editor.” “I kind of remember it.” The Levitan Group and Glorious Jewelry had a collaboration. Nate had met their chief editor a few times. Reginald sighed, “Dion told me just now that he found Maddy, and if anything goes smoothly, she’ll be the designer of their magazine
company. Do you remember Maddy?” “I don’t remember.”
Why did he have to remember these irrelevant people? Reginald continued, “That sponsor of the seventh Young Designer Competition three years ago, you must remember. Back then, Maddy won the first place in the competition. She could initially continue her studies in Paris, but for some reason, she gave up this opportunity.” “But I heard that she seemed to have found the person in charge of the competition. She asked if she could give up the sponsor for her studies and have cash. The person in charge had asked you and you rejected her. After that, we haven’t heard about her anymore. She’s really a very talanted designer. It’s a pity.” Nate slowly withdrew his gaze, not knowing what he was thinking, not knowing whether or not he heard what he just said. “Oh.” “I don’t remember.” On the way home, Dion could clearly feel that Maddy was in a much worse mood compared to when she was eating, It was not appropriate for him to ask directly. He glanced at Cassie and raised an eyebrow to ask Cassie shook her head, indicating that it was difficult to explain Dion stopped the car downstairs and said, “Ms. Jacobs, I’m looking forward to your work. I’m looking forward to our collaboration.” Maddy’s moods had calmed down a lot. She recollected her thoughts and nodded, “Thank you Mr. Reo, I’ll do my best.” Dion smiled. “Then I won’t waste your time. Hurry up and see you next week.” Back at home, Cassie asked, “Maddy, are you still angry about the two bastards?”
Maddy was a little lost in lier thoughts. She subconsciously exclaimed. After a couple of seconds, she said, “No, I’m thinking about the work.” The theme Dion gave her was ‘first love’. Cassie said that this was also the series that their magazine had launched after signing the contract with the designer. It was mainly for the young market. Hence, the artwork this time was quite important to them. But to Maddy, the word ‘first love’ was too far away. It was already very blurry. The beautiful heartbeats she had when she was in contact with the person she liked had long faded after the three years she was married to Nate. Cassie said, “About this, I just wanted to ask you. Have you and Terrence Grant not contacted each other?” Maddy shook her head gently. 3 years ago, she won the first place in the Young Designer Competition. She could have the opportunity to study in Paris, but she rejected it. Terrence had seen her a few times and asked her why she did not go. There was doubt, loneliness, and disappointment in his expression. However, she still did not have the courage to tell him the truth and deleted all of his contact details. What could she say? Should I tell him that on the night she won the first place in the competition and was overwhelmed by joy, she suddenly received the news that Tyrone owed a million loan? she still hadn’t recovered form that bucket of cold water yet. Cassie sighed and leaned against the sofa. “I still think it’s a pity for you to meet Terrence. Back then, the two of you were a talented
couple in school. Anyone with a clear eye could tell that you like each other, and you just didn’t express your feelings. I thought the two of you would be together when you went to Paris, but I didn’t expect that something like that would happen later… It’s fate. ” Maddy was silent for a long time before she said, “It’s all in the past.” “Tsk tsk, don’t talk about that sad thing. By the way, I suddenly remember a gossip from Jennie. Let me tell you. When she first started working in a magazine, she didn’t even know what fill-in light was, but…” Cassie told Maddy a few jokes. After teasing her, she cursed the couple passionately for the whole night. However, when Maddy was lying on the bed, her mind was subconsciously replying to what Jennie said to her in the bathroom. Although those vulgar words won’t come out of Nate’s mouth, the meaning of them was no different at all. Maddy knew that she was the one who caused trouble for Nate, so in the three years they were married, she tried her best to act as a good wife. Whether it was in the face of his evil words or the Levitan Family’s cold and mocking sarcasm, she never complained. She also knew how much he hated her. But when those realities threw daggers at her mercilessly like poison, she still felt pain. Even if she took a single breath, she would feel the pain in her heart Maddy buried her head in the blanket. Half-sleep, she recalled something 3 years ago, after knowing that Tyrone owed a loan worth of 1 million, she started raising money and even asked the person in charge of the competition if she could not go to Paris to study and take the cash. She still remembered what the person in charge said, “Miss Jacobs, I’m sorry. Our boss said that this opportunity is for those with
real design dreams, not those who treat this competition as a business machine and want to gain profits from it.” After Maddy heard this, she was stunned for a long time and went back to cry and cursed the so-called boss the whole night. “Who are you looking down on? Who doesn’t have a pure and unrealistic dream?” A few days later, Tyrone ran away. The debtor came to her and asked her to make a choice. Either she chopped one of her brother’s hands, or she took the initiative to leave with them. Maddy had no other ehoice. Ignoring the roar of Mervin, she followed them out of the house without saying a word. Those people sold her to Night Sky Club, a place specially for the rich to have fun. The wine was alluring, and the desire was overwhelming They drugged her wine. Even though she had already prepared herself to face death, when the plump middle-aged man in his forties and fifties entered, she suddenly thought of Terrence and her unfinished Paris agreement. She did not know where the strength came from. She pushed tlic middle-aged man away and stumbled out. Someone was chasing after her. After running for a long time, she finally saw a slender and blurred figure in front of her. She fell to the ground and tugged on the sleeves of his textile suit, “Please, help me.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
