Chapter 40
As one of the leading families of Norxton, the Preston family attracted widespread attention as soon as the recording was posted online. And the recording quickly dominated the trending topics on major websites.
Daisy’s arrogance instantly sparked public outrage. The headlines of the news were exceptionally eye– catching in order to attract more views, like “Heiress of the elite family uses the vulgar language” and “The Preston family withholding maid’s salary for three years“.
Daisy, along with the Preston family, instantly became the center of criticism.
“The Preston family is so mean. Even if a maid has the right to receive payment for her labor. Not paying is one thing, but insulting her on top of it.”
“What’s even more ridiculous is that the lady actually said providing free service for the Preston family is the maid’s honor. Shameless!” NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Everyone is equal now. What right does she have to look down on others? I think she’s the one with a despicable and lowly nature.””
Numerous people denounced Daisy.
Before Madison reached home, she received a call from Norna. “Madison, well done. I’ve detested Daisy for a long time. Should I help you post those videos as well?”
“No need. When this matter turns into a laughing stock, someone will release the videos.”
“Yeah, it saves us trouble. I did you a favor. Come buy me a drink, will you?”
Thinking that since Norna had returned, Madison had never met her, so Madison agreed.
After Norna sent her the address, Madison instructed Timothy to stop the car. Then, she took a taxi straight to the bar. Places like bars mixed with different people, and being too conspicuous could lead to trouble.
Upon arriving at the bar, Norna poured a full glass of red wine for Madison. “Madison, it’s not easy to ask you out. If it weren’t for Daisy, you might not have contacted me.”
Madison smiled apologetically. In these three years, she had been overwhelmed by household chores every day,
leaving all the business matters to Margaret and Ross. She only intervened in significant matters, and she had no time to manage her own social circle.
“I’m sorry. I was too busy.”
Madison clinked glasses with Norma and finished the red wine. She wasn’t particularly adept at handling alcohol, and after just a single glass of red wine, her cheeks began to flush.
Noma refilled Madison’s glass and said, “What’s so good about your ex–husband? You actually gave up your work for him for three years. No wonder your master is so angry with you.”
The red wine filled her throat, carrying the bitterness.
Madison smiled. “Perhaps I was misguided.”
“So, are you back on the right path now?”
“Yes.” Madison’s gaze was sharp as she clinked glasses with Norna. “And I’ll be reborn from the ashes.”
“Great, since you’ve chosen not to dwell on the past, let’s look forward to the future. Madison, come to Collins with me. You’re more talented than me, and you’re our master’s proudest disciple. I’ll help you to become the chief designer at Collins, and together, we can elevate Collins to the top luxury brand globally.”
“Norna, thank you, but I want to return to Loveille.”
Madison needed to regain her brilliance with her abilities.
Norna had heard about the competition between Loveille and the Conner Group.
Collins and Fliwip ranked among the top three luxury brands in the world. Norna’s choice of Fliwip over Collins night have been to avoid suspicion.
She knew Madison too well. Once Madison made a decision, she would give it her all,
Madison, I believe in you. In my eyes, you’ve always been at the pinnacle of the design world. Now, it’s just a
natter of reclaiming that peak. Alison only dares to challenge you out of her ignorance.”
ust as they were talking, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open.

Daisy stood at the doorway in a rage and shouted, “Bitch, you had planned this!”
After the recording was pushed to the top of the trending list, various videos of Kara and others provoking and insulting Madison were successively uploaded online.
To wash off their own suspicions, Kara and Raquel unified their statements, accusing Daisy of being the mastermind.
The videos went viral online, and Daisy was severely criticized by netizens.
If this wasn’t stopped in time, the Preston family might also be affected.
Daisy was feeling frustrated and wanted to have a drink with her friends, but she didn’t expect to meet Madison.
Even more surprising was that Collins‘ designer Norna was also present, and she seemed to have a close relationship with Madison.
Daisy started to understand the truth.
Daisy thought ‘
Daisy thought, ‘Madison was carrying genuine Collins products, but she deliberately provoked Kara and others with the bet. It must be Norna who gave her the video.”
When Daisy applied for a VIP at Collins, she was said to be unqualified. To please Norna, she invited Norna to the socialite group in Norton. As such, it was safe to say Norna was well aware of those videos she had posted, as well as her mockery of Madison.
Madison and Norna collaborated to plot against Daisy. As a result, Daisy was being scolded and denounced by
the netizens.
Daisy was enraged but dared not offend Norna. So all her anger was vented on Madison.
Holding an opened bottle of red wine, Daisy was about to pour it over Madison when Madison suddenly grabbed her wrist and poured the red wine all over Daisy.
“Ouch! How dare you do this to me?” Daisy screamed and stomped her feet in anger.
Madison looked at her coldly and said, “Ms. Preston, please behave yourself and get lost!”
Daisy was soaked in red wine from head to toe. She said furiously, “Bitch, I command you to delete all the videos
and apologize to me publicly!”
Norna chuckled. “I’ve never heard of a victim apologizing to the perpetrator. Is this the family style of the Preston family?”
Daisy glared at Madison and said, “You know what you’ve done. Don’t force me to expose you, or the one who will have a miserable end is you!”
Madison mocked with a smile, “Ms. Preston, what kind of apology do you want me to make?”
Daisy, thinking she had already intimidated Madison, said, “That’s easy. Just say that we were just making videos. Everything was according to the script. And ask everyone to stop spreading the rumors!”
Madison secretly sneered. If it were as Daisy said, Madison would become the target of public criticism. That excuse was really something Daisy could come up with.
Seeing Madison remaining silent, Daisy leaned in and whispered, “If you listen to me, I might even help you return to the Preston family.”
