Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 148 Blame Your Own Foolishness Finished

At that moment, Madelyn and Sebastian were dancing with slow and graceful steps. Their chemistry was palpable.

The guests nearly couldn’t help but shower them with compliments after taking a look. “They really are a lovely and handsome couple. They’re really a match made in heaven!”

Upon hearing those words, Janessa was so infuriated that it felt like fire could burst from her eyes. Handsome couple? A match made in heaven? Really? Well, if they seem so perfect together, then it’s about time to break them apart!

With that in mind, Janessa let out a chilling, malicious smile.

Soon, the music gradually faded, marking the end of a dance.

Madelyn was beginning to feel a bit worn out from dancing, so she asked, “Can I take a break on the side for a bit?”

Sebastian nodded and guided her to the nearby couch.

He said casually, “You rest here for now. We have a lot of guests today, so I’ll go and attend to them. Join us once you’ve rested enough.”

“All right.” Madelyn obediently nodded her head.

After that, she watched as Sebastian turned and walked away.

At that moment, Madelyn’s stomach let out a couple of grumbles.

Madelyn touched her stomach, thinking to herself that she was indeed a bit hungry.

Hence, she stood up and walked over to the table laden with desserts, beverages, and a selection of alcoholic drinks.

After a quick glance over the table, she gently picked up a small piece of chocolate cake and placed it in her mouth, surprisingly finding the taste quite delightful.

At that moment, Derek, accompanied by Regina and Eunice, made their way over.

Upon reaching Madelyn, Derek couldn’t contain his joy and immediately complimented, “Madelyn, you’ve done well!”

Initially, he was somewhat worried. His precious daughter was always spoiled and rebellious, and he suspected she wouldn’t appreciate this kind of atmosphere. There was even a high chance she might cause some trouble there.

Unexpectedly, she had given such a grand gift that left everyone utterly astonished.

Derek couldn’t help but think Madelyn had truly undergone a significant transformation.

“Dad, you really shouldn’t praise me,” Madelyn said with a laugh. “After all, I’m a daughter-in-law of the Lockhart family. It’s only right that I do these things.”

Derek nodded. “Indeed, it seems I was worrying too much. Why are you sitting here alone, though? Where’s Sebastian?”

“I’m feeling a bit tired. I’ll rest here while Sebastian goes to entertain the guests,” Madelyn said.

“I see. Sebastian is truly exceptional and sensible!” Derek nodded with a hint of satisfaction. “Seeing you both doing well now, I can rest easy as a father.”

Upon hearing this, Regina and Eunice couldn’t help but purse their lips in displeasure at the side. This brat actually stole the spotlight for the entire evening!

With that in mind, Eunice couldn’t help but express her envy, saying, “Madelyn, you’ve really stolen the show today. Everyone at the party is talking about you.”

Madelyn, however, laughed it off nonchalantly. “What’s all this fuss about stealing the spotlight? I simply did what was expected of me. You see, one must always stick to their role. What’s yours is yours, and it’s best not to harbor any thoughts about what isn’t yours.”

Madelyn was vague with those final words.

Eunice understood those words perfectly. That was nothing but Madelyn’s subtle way of warning her.

Eunice’s face suddenly turned pale.

At this moment, Regina interjected, “I don’t see it that way. If you want something, you should fight for it yourself. How can you know the outcome if you don’t even try it?”

After she finished speaking, she gave Madelyn a deceitful smile, clearly filled with provocative intent.

Madelyn let out a cold, mocking smile in response.

“All right. After all, today is Old Mrs. Lockhart’s seventieth birthday. Let’s all be a bit cheerful,” Derek interrupted.

After that, he gave Madelyn a gentle smile. “Madelyn, I just came to see you. Now that I know you’re all right, I can relax. I’ll go check on some other things now.”

“All right.” Madelyn nodded.

Derek then took Regina and Eunice away.

Madelyn, relishing her peace, resumed indulging in her desserts.

“Madelyn!” In no time, Janessa rushed over to her with a sudden look of panic on her face.

Upon seeing the situation, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Madelyn’s mouth. Ah… Here it comes…

“What’s the matter?” Madelyn asked in a leisurely manner.

After rushing over, Janessa immediately put on an air of extreme urgency, saying in a flustered tone, “It’s bad, Madelyn! Christopher has had a car accident. You need to go check on him right away!”

Madelyn’s face was filled with surprise as she asked, “Really? How did such a terrible car accident happen out of the blue? Did he die?”

Clearly, Janessa hadn’t expected Madelyn to ask such a question, and she was momentarily taken aback.

“H–He’s not dead, but don’t you plan to take a look?” Janessa looked at her with a doubtful expression.

Madelyn suddenly understood and let out a sound of realization. “Naturally, I should, but I’m currently at a banquet and can’t just leave. Besides, as a daughter-in-law of the Lockhart family, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to leave at this time, would it?”

As she spoke, Madelyn wore an expression of difficulty on her face.

Janessa was absolutely livid. She had assumed that Madelyn would agree outright, but to her surprise, Madelyn was incredibly indecisive.

Yet, on the surface, Janessa had to maintain an appearance of being understanding and empathetic.

“Don’t worry, Madelyn. If anyone asks about you later, I’ll cover for you. You can rest assured.”

“But…” Madelyn deliberately hesitated as she looked at her.

Janessa urged, “All right, enough with the hesitations. I know you’re conflicted. However, I’m here to back you up. Go and check on Christopher. It seems like he’s been quite concerned about you lately. Besides, haven’t you always had feelings for him? I think this could be a great opportunity to bring you two closer."

After Janessa finished speaking, she feigned a smile of goodwill.

In reality, she couldn’t wait for Madelyn to leave.

Madelyn knew what Janessa was doing. Ha! Since she wants to play games, I’ll just go along with the plan.

“Janessa, you’re absolutely right!” Madelyn suddenly feigned nervousness. “You’ll have to back me up! I’m going over to see him right now.”

After finishing her sentence, Madelyn deliberately left in a hurry.

As Madelyn strode out of the banquet hall right before her eyes, Janessa couldn’t help but break into a triumphant smile.

As she smiled, her expression abruptly twisted into something rather vicious. Madelyn, don’t blame me for being too ruthless. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for being too foolish! A woman as fickle as you has no right to stand beside Sebastian, let alone be his wife! Tonight, I’ll make sure you fall from grace. I’ll turn you into…
