My Wife Is A Masquerade Master

Chapter 16

Ryan wanted to laugh, but when he saw Neville’s tense face, he immediately suppressed the smile on his lips.

Without waiting for Ryan to dismiss him. Neville stood up and said, “I won’t disturb Mr. Blanton’s work.”

As he passed by Madison, he gritted his teeth and said. “You better put away your tricks to seduce men. Don’t embarrass me.”

Madison coldly smiled. She knew Neville didn’t genuinely care if she would embarrass him. In his eyes, she was his accessory, and others had no qualifications to be intimate with her.

He imposed restrictions on her but secretly slept with Alison.

Ryan’s gaze swept over the two until Neville left. Only then did he pretend to inquire, “Miss Guzman, do you two know each other?”

Madison responded straightforwardly. “No, we don’t.”

Ryan chuckled and found this married couple quite interesting.

Neville came early in the morning to negotiate for the chance for Madison, while Madison treated him as invisible.

However, it was their personal matter, and Ryan shouldn’t intervene. He went straight to the point and said, “Our team has discussed and decided to consider Loveille’s and the Conner Group’s proposals. But according to company regulations, we can only choose one for business collaboration.”

“I understand. You intend to let Loveille have a fair competition with the Conner Group?”

“Exactly. Fliwip will give you a design theme. Loveille and the Conner Group will present their best works for the competition. The winner will be decided based on the merits of their designs.”

Madison found that Fliwip’s decision was wise. Using competition to select a partner was both fair and attention–grabbing, serving as good publicity for the collaboration.

“I have no objections. What is the theme Fliwip?”

Ryan wrote two words on paper. “Wedding Dresses”

Madison’s face turned pale instantly, lips devoid of color. Her fingers curled slowly as if she was suppressing something

Ryan noticed her reaction. “I remember Elianna is best at designing wedding dresses. Loveille’s flagship product three years ago was also wedding dresses. Is there a problem?”

Ryan was right. Three years ago, fueled by her anticipation of marriage, Madison focused her passion and romance on designing wedding dresses. She even created a set called “Eternal Love‘ for herself, hoping to wear it and live out her own fairy tale.

However, on the eve of the wedding, Madison didn’t see her groom and destroyed the wedding dress, vowing neverto design one again.

Every woman had a dream, which was to kiss the one she loved while wearing a wedding dress. But her dream shattered from the beginning.

Madison even swore never to design wedding dresses again in her lifetime.

After a long time, she regained her composure and said, “Mr. Blanton, can we change the theme?”

Ryan twirled the pen in his hand. “Miss Guzman, you should understand that I proposed this theme solely for Elianna’s

sake.”

In other words, there was no room for negotiation.

Madison didn’t want to miss this opportunity. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat, saying, “Alright, I will convey your words to Elianna.

Ryan’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Also, tell Elianna that 1 admire her, so I have high expectations for her work.”

At that moment, Madison felt like she was being seen through, but she remained calm. After finalizing the details of the competition with Ryan, Madison stood up and left.

To her surprise. Neville was standing outside the door.

He seemed to be on the phone, and upon hearing the door opening behind him, he said. “I’ll talk to you later.”

Madison intended to ignore him, but as she passed by, he blocked her way.

“You don’t know me?” he asked

Madison frowned and said, “Please move.”

Neville furrowed his brow. Since she moved out of the Preston family, she seemed to get bolder, daring to speak disrespectfully to him.

He removed the scarf around her neck, glanced at the love bites on her fair neck, and sneered, “What a cold–hearted woman. You were happy with me last night, and today you act like you don’t know me.”

Madison felt embarrassed and annoyed. ‘How dare he have the audacity to bring up last night?” she thought.

Grinding her teeth, Madison lowered her voice and said, “Neville, according to the laws, marital rape is considered illegal I don’t mind sending you to prison for a few years.”

Neville didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and pressed his fingers against the bruise on her lips. “You still remember that we are married?”

Madison, infuriated, flared up. Sometimes she couldn’t understand him.

He despised her, and yet he entangled with Alison. It seemed as if she were forcing him to divorce her,

Ross seemed to be performing magic tricks to a secretary, who giggled. They looked like flirting with each other.

Neville sneered. “You have poor taste.”

Madison retorted, “Pot calling the kettle black.

Ross was a playboy, but Alison wasn’t a pure lady. But Neville still fell for her.

The thought of Neville being affectionate with her while possibly embracing Alison at the same time made Madison’s stomach churn. She had no desire to stay with Neville any longer.

“Mr. Preston, if everything goes as planned, I’ll be back to Norton in three days. We’ll meet at the city hall then.”

Neville suddenly laughed coldly. “You’re so eager to be with him?”

“The one who’s impatient is you.”

Alison said she was three months pregnant, and in two more months, she couldn’t hide her pregnancy belly.

Neville’s face turned cold. “Madison, I’ve given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not fortunate enough to take it.”

Chapter lo

Neville said through his clenched teeth, “I hope you won’t find excuses when the time comes.”

“Of course not!”

Madison pushed past Neville and walked toward Ross.

Neville stared at the two approaching figures, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Ross felt a chilling glare behind him and instinctively turned around. When he met Neville’s gaze, he couldn’t help shivering. “Why is Neville here?” he asked.

Madison didn’t hide anything and said, “He’s the business partner mentioned by Ryan.”

“What? You negotiated with him last night?”

Yes

Ross glanced at the love bites on her neck and asked, “What happened here?”

“Bitten by a dog!”

Madison’s voice floated over to Neville, and his face clouded over in an instant. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan, leaning against the door, laughed mockingly. “Mr. Preston, they’re gone. Why are you still looking?”
