Chapter 215

"You won't accept it?" Laura's cold gaze fell on Madison.

"That's right, I won't!" Madison protested loudly. "I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I be shut down?"

Archie, terrified, quickly urged, "Do you know who you're talking to? Shut up!"

"Why should I?" Madison's defiance was evident on her face. Since she was about to lose everything anyway, she decided to fight back. She locked eyes with Laura. "Ms. Jones, what exactly is your relationship with Cameron? Just because I look down on him—this useless man who lived off me for five years—the Jones family wants to shut me down?"

"Is this society letting those with power and influence freely insult others, even robbing them of their right to speak the truth? Ms. Jones, I've always respected you, but you can't go too far!" Madison rambled.

"Who does this woman think she is, daring to reason with Ms. Jones? Is she even worthy?" someone in the audience sneered.

Others chimed in: "Yeah, even if she's asking for it, she shouldn't drag us into it!" "Damn it, she caused trouble on the Venizon Cruise last time, and now it's her again!"

The surrounding murmurs made Madison's face even more unpleasant, but she still stared directly at Laura.

Laura looked at Madison with a mocking smile. "Are you trying to reason with me?"

"Is Ms. Jones the kind of person who doesn't listen to reason?" Madison persisted, despite her fear. She couldn't accept losing everything, and she certainly didn't want to watch Cameron succeed. After all, he was someone she had once casually discarded.

"Well then, let me reason with you," Laura said with a faint, cold smile. "Let me ask you, five years ago, when you had nothing, didn't Cameron invest one million dollars in your business venture?"

Laura's words hit Madison like a bombshell, making her heart tremble violently. How did Laura know about this?

Before Madison could recover, Laura continued, "That's just one thing. Secondly, let me ask you, during your five years of marriage, did Cameron ever ask you for money, while you accused him of being a freeloader in front of everyone?"

Madison was speechless.

Laura observed Madison's expression and continued, "Let me ask you again: after you became successful, didn't you cheat on Cameron with Archie behind his back and then leave him with nothing? Cameron met your demands, and you successfully divorced him. Afterward, you went around spreading rumors about him, saying he cheated during the marriage? Well, aren't these facts? So, what else do you have to say?"

Madison was speechless.

"So that's how it is!" The crowd gasped, realizing Madison's duplicity. "No wonder she deserved to be shut down!"

"Madison, answer me." Laura's tone was icy.

Madison trembled, her face paling. Every word Laura spoke was true. But how did she know? It must be Cameron! He must have told Laura! Anger filled Madison's heart. She shouted at Cameron, "Cameron, you jerk, did you expose me to Ms. Jones and talk bad about me?"
