Madeline's face was livid about his words. She used to be engaged to Simon, but he didn't like her at all and forced her family to back out. Later her father asked her to marry Master Billy.
Of course, she didn't want to, so she fought against her father, and it took a long time before her parents changed their minds. However, she never thought that this was directly used by Simon to attack her. She could not refute it at all!
"Does Miss Carter mean… we should not stop Mr. King when he is about to jump off a cliff, but applaud him and watch him jump?" Joshua said lightly. "Mr. King, you really should take a good look at the people who are following you. Some people who try to make you happy may not really be kind to you."
Madeline's face became panic-stricken instantly. Simon had just left her speechless, but Joshua's words were more powerful and made Ted question her real intentions.
"I, I don't mean that..." Madeline spoke with a wounded expression.
