Chapter 2911
Madeline couldn’t stand her pitiful act, and what’s more, the fact that men fell for it every single time.
“Aren’t you supposed to be this righteous journalist? If you pleasing men so much, I’ll make sure you leave this world surrounded by them.”
Thinking maliciously of Regina’s downfall brought a genuine smile to Madeline’s face.
“Just lay low for a while and don’t contact me. When you’re ready, just find any payphone and call me, got it?”
Madeline was about to leave when Domingo followed her, “Hey, Madeline, when can Dad see you again?”
She clicked her tongue in annoyance, “I told you, don’t reach out unless I do first. You know I’m staying with the Tanners, right? If you don’t want to cause trouble for me and Mom, just stay put here.”

Madeline knew she had been out frequently to deal with Domingo and the matter at hand.
“Mom, I know you want the best for me. Haven’t I been networking with those elite ladies? That’s why I’ve been out so much. You always said I should build good relationships with them.”
Relieved that her daughter wasn’t just fooling around, Imogen relaxed, “Now that Regina is married to Nolan, that’s settled. You need to stop thinking about him. He’s not for you,
