Chapter 122
Victoria's expression softened somewhat when she heard Elena say so. After all, it was one of her favored
granddaughters speaking.
However, she still addressed Caleb, "Cut off Bethany's financial support. If she can't manage abroad, she should come back and replace a good match."
The statement caused many in the room to cast gloating glances at Amelia and Caleb.
Madelyn's face was dark, but she didn't speak. She glanced coldly at the pretentious Elena.
Victoria, holding Madelyn's hand, clearly sensed her unease. She remembered today's purpose and quickly tried to comfort her, "If Beth could marry someone like Andrew, it'd be for her own good." For her own good? Madelyn sneered to herself.
She remembered how Victoria and Amelia had considered helping Elena steal Andrew from her. Victoria's affectionate demeanor now was utterly hypocritical and nauseating.
Madelyn forced a smile, suppressing her emotions. "Alright, Grandma, let's not talk about Beth and me. Shall we talk
about Elena instead?"
She looked at Elena with a smile that didn't reach her eyes,
filled with an unspoken meaning. Elena felt a sudden chill and a sense of foreboding.
Victoria went along with her words by saying, "Elena? Isn't she going to work at Andrew's company? That's good. She can help keep an eye on him for you.
"A man with money and looks should never be taken lightly. We'll all feel more at ease with someone to watch over him."
Madelyn's gaze at Elena grew even more profound. So, was this facade by Amelia and Victoria another undying pretense to insert Elena by Andrew's side?
Elena felt increasingly uneasy under Madelyn's scrutiny. She had regained her position in Victoria's favor by announcing that she would join the Miller Group after being sidelined by
Krista.
Madelyn pursed her lips, while Victoria held her hand and spoke with a gentle tone, "Maddie, look at your cousin,
Krista.
"She's a top graduate from a prestigious foreign university. If she joins Andrew's company, she could be a great asset to him, don't you think?"
Madelyn said nothing in response. So, it wasn't just Elena,
but also Krista?
Sitting by the side, Krista's face was cold with an air of aloof superiority. When she heard Victoria's words and met
Madelyn's gaze, her eyes held a trace of disdain.

Madelyn smiled faintly. "Grandma, you're mistaken. I can't decide who Andrew's company hires.
"Besides, Elena is pregnant, and no regular company would
hire her. Forcing her into Andrew's company would be
inappropriate, wouldn't it?"
The room fell silent instantly, with all eyes turning toward Elena's stomach.
Amelia's and Elena's faces turned pale, and so did Caleb's
as he turned to look at Elena.
Edith was the first to react. "Elena, are you pregnant out of wedlock? Who's the father?"
Amelia and Elena froze. Their faces alternated between shades of paleness as their hearts pounded furiously.
Victoria's affectionate demeanor turned rigid. Her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at Elena. "Are you really pregnant?"
Elena broke into a cold sweat. "No, Grandma, I..."
Amidst the panic, she looked into Madelyn's dangerous eyes and swallowed.
She couldn't say she wasn't pregnant. If she did, Madelyn would never let her off. She was released from custody just because she was pregnant. Madelyn's smile deepened when she saw that Elena

couldn't say a word. "So, Grandma, it'd be more urgent for
Elena to prepare for her wedding instead, don't you think?"
