Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 141

Carly returned the smile warmly.

“I’m glad you like it.

Feel free to come here anytime-just charge it to my account.

”

After changing back into her clothes, Kristine picked up her phone, her relaxed demeanor quickly shifting.

“What?” she muttered under her breath.

Elaine, noticing her daughter’s sudden change in expression, asked, “Something wrong?”

Kristine quickly stashed her phone away, trying to brush it off.

“Nothing.

It’s nothing.

”

But Carly, ever perceptive, asked, “Did something happen with Madisyn again?”

Kristine forced a polite smile.

“No, Mrs.

Reed, nothing like that.

”

Carly, however, wasn’t convinced.

She pulled out her own phone and quickly found what she was looking for-several trending topics that had caused quite a stir.

“Denali was blackmailed.

”

“Why did Natural Beauty pay her hush money?”

“Are Natural Beauty’s products causing allergies?”

Carly nudged Elaine, her tone laced with amusement.

“Look at this! Madisyn is in hot water again.

Apparently, she went to Denali herself and paid her off to keep quiet.

What an idiot! She didn’t think Denali would turn around and expose the whole thing.

How could she be so foolish?”

Carly had spoken her mind a bit too freely, and she quickly glanced at Elaine’s face, realizing she might have overstepped.

“Oh, I was too blunt, wasn’t I? Are you upset with me? I just think Madisyn has really gotten Natural Beauty into a mess this time.

”

Elaine found the news on her phone, her expression turning complex.

It didn’t seem like something Madisyn would do.

She was usually so sharp and thoughtful…

“I’m sure whatever it is, Madisyn has her reasons,” Elaine replied calmly.

“She needs to learn from this and grow.

If we’re always hovering over her, she’ll never develop her own skills.

”

Carly raised an eyebrow, her skepticism evident.

“Really? But Kristine has never caused such big trouble, has she?”

She sighed, glancing at Kristine with a mix of affection and pity.

“It’s true what they say-a child is better off being raised by their own parents from the start.

”

Elaine’s discomfort was palpable, though she tried to keep her composure.

Carly’s words had hit a nerve.

Sensing the tension, Kristine quickly intervened.

“Mrs.

Reed, please don’t say that.

Madisyn has her strengths.

She’s honest and unpretentious.

Maybe she’s just not cut out for business.

”

Carly smiled warmly at Kristine, clearly appreciating her loyalty.

“You’re so kind-hearted,” she said, looking at Kristine with admiration.

Carly was clearly very fond of Kristine.

It was just a shame that the Johns family couldn’t see what they had right in front of them.
