Chapter 125
Madelyn picked up her bag and stood up
Seeing her intention to leave, Victoria's face darkened, and she lost the benevolence she had earlier. "What's that? Are you refusing to do that?" Of course, she would refuse.
Although Madelyn wasn't involved in Andrew's company, she knew the Glomhill project's significance. Such a
demand was preposterous. They were truly an insatiable family.
Meeting Victoria's oppressive gaze, Madelyn spoke slowly and calmly, "It's not that I refuse, but Andrew is planning to reclaim the Equilwood Village project. "Glomhill is quite close to Equilwood Village, so it might be included in the same project proposal."
As she spoke, she glanced at the shocked Matthew. "Uncle. Matthew, do you think Andrew would hand over such a massive project over to an outsider?" She emphasized the word "outsider ", making faces in the room change.
Victoria's face darkened furthe The looked at Madelyn with dissatisfaction. "Wasn't the Equilwood Village project given
to Matthew?"
Andrew had wanted to give it to them for free, but Madelyn
hadn't wanted to owe him too much.
In retrospect, it was fortunate that she had made the right choice. Otherwise, the Equilwood Village would have been enough to feed the Garcias for generations. Victoria looked uncertainly at Caleb, who also turned to Madelyn. "Maddie, what's going on?"
"Have you forgotten? Five years ago, you wanted to develop Equilwood Village into a resort. Miller Group gave you a five-year contract, right?"
Mentioning the contract and the five-year term unsettled Matthew's family. The resort development had cost. hundreds of millions of dollars, and they hadn't fully recovered their investment in these five years.
Matthew's face darkened. "Maddie, even if Miller Group leased me the Equilwood Village, you shouldn't do it that way. Do you think I've recovered my costs in five years?" "Whether you've recovered your costs is your problem, Uncle Matthew. Miller Group will handle this according to the
contract."
"You..." Matthew's face turned even more livid seeing Madelyn's firm attitude.
He glared at Caleb. "Caleb, what does that mean? When Father was still around, you..."
"Maddie, how can you talk to Uncle Matthew like that?" Caleb interrupted before Matthew could finish.
Caleb had always valued his ego in front of the Garcias. Not only had he benefited from Andrew, but he had also flaunted these benefits to the Garcias. Now, he felt his pride shatter hearing Madelyn's words. Madelyn couldn't understand the Garcias. Each one of them. was so despicable. They received benefits yet always found a way to make things awkward, and Caleb still wanted to get involved. She didn't feel sorry for Caleb but found the whole family
disgusting.
"I have no say in Andrew's affairs, Uncle Matthew. So, it's best to prepare early," Madelyn said with a smile.
She turned and left, ignoring the family's reactions.
The room erupted into chaos.
Angeline, who had just been proud because of Krista, now turned purple with rage. She directed her fury at Amelia. Look at your daughter. She wants to take back what she's given out!" She had once thought Madelyn was a fool, but it seemed Madelyn had changed.
Amelia's face was equally dark. She had hoped Madelyn
would help get Krista into Miller Group so she could have an
upper hand-over Angeline. Now, she had made a fool of herself even more.
Seeing Madelyn leave, Hazel followed without a word.
Edith shot Amelia and Angeline a mocking look. "Madelyn isn't as foolish as she seems. It's good we weren't greedy and didn't take anything from her."
She added, targeting Angeline, "It seemed like a big
advantage but resulted in significant losses, right?"
