?Chapter 845:


    Jaxson’s sharp words struck again. Nancy’s smile faltered. Sean shot a nce at her. “My mother adopted her abroad. When she heard about the wee party, she insisted oning along.”


    Sean felt a wave of annoyance as he recalled his mother’s insistence. Since she was his mother, he reluctantly agreed to bring Nancy with him.


    Actually, everyone in the room was already familiar with Nancy. Whenever Ka had the time, she would take Nancy to various parties to help her make connections. It was clear to everyone that Ka treated Nancy with great care.


    With Sean present, the people in the private room exhibited remarkable patience with Nancy. Joanna was the only exception, still preupied with Susanna lying in the ward. She couldn’t understand why Ka showcased her adopted daughter at various social events while her own biological daughter remained hospitalized. Frankly, she considered Ka’s behavior quite irrational.


    Nancy cleared her throat, and someone promptly fetched her water. Expressing her boredom, someone even offered to sing for her. Joanna rolled her eyes in exasperation.


    Madeline cowered in the corner, watching everyone’s lively interactions. Despite their smiles, she sensed an exclusionary warmth, feeling like an outcast shunned by all. Given that everyone in the private room had a close rtionship with Norah, Madeline feared that any misstep on her part would result in her expulsion.


    However, Madeline’s purpose ining here today was to assert her presence before Jaxson. Although Jaxson hadn’t assumed control of his family’s estate, he still bore the prestigious Singh family name. Madeline contemted pleading with him to consider extending cooperation to her husband and father. Observing the dedication with which her father and husband toiled, Madeline feltpelled to do something to help them.


    “Your name is Madeline Powell, right?” Seated beside Madeline, Nancy held a ss in her hand as she spoke in a sweet tone. Nancy adorned herself in a pink dress from a prestigious brand,plemented by diamond earrings dangling from her ears and a delicate silver chain adorning her neck. The refined elegance exuding from her presence made her seem like a spoiled princess.

    Madeline’s fists tightened at her sides. To her, Nancy appeared as a beggar fortunate enough to be adopted by a wealthy woman, transformed into a daughter of privilege.


    “Yes,” Madeline replied curtly.


    “I’ve heard about you for quite some time. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I’m Nancy Chase,” Nancy greeted with an innocent smile, her demeanor as naive as a young girl. However, Madeline couldn’t shake the chill that swept over her body as she found Nancy’s smile somewhat unsettling. Could Nancy truly be as innocent as she appeared?


    “Madeline, is pregnancy difficult for you? How far along are you?” Nancy asked softly, prompting Madeline to respond to her queries.
