Madelyn was about to question Natasha when Jerome and Maverick arrived at the scene together.

Instantly, Natasha turned to the reassuring familiarity of Maverick’s presence for comfort. “Mave!” she

wept.

The man glanced at her with his lips pursed. Not a single word left his mouth.

Under the dim yellow lighting, his expression was impenetrable.

Once Jerome had gotten a clear look at the remnant of wine and tears on his daughter’s face, he

asked, “What happened here?”

The surrounding guests described the earlier incident to him. While they were siding with Natasha with

every sentence they said, they did consider the wrath of Joaquin. On top of that, there was

Gwendolyn’s stunning performance from earlier as well. As such, they did not make any remark that

was out of line.

After listening to them for a while, Jerome had a rough idea of what had happened.

With a smile, he ushered the guests away and graciously asked that they continue partaking in food

and drink. Then, he halfheartedly offered Natasha a few words of comfort before returning to the main

banquet hall with everyone else.

Sobbing, Natasha held Maverick’s arm. The way she acted like a damsel in distress would surely

arouse pity in the onlookers’ hearts. “Mave, don’t blame Gwendolyn for this. She’s probably in a bad

mood because of our engagement.”

However, Maverick lowered his head to look at her, then asked in an impassive tone. “What did you say

to her just now?”

Natasha was taken aback by his question. When she raised her head and saw that he seemed upset,

she hurriedly explained, “We’re about to be engaged. All I wanted was her blessing. I never thought

that she’d get angry and splash wine at me.”

“Is that so?” The man furrowed his brows as his expression grew even colder.

Holding onto the sliver of hope that he would believe her, Natasha nodded and tightened her grip on

his arm.

Almost instantly, Maverick withdrew his arm. “Tasha, seem to understand you less and less.”

She was stumped for words.

It was the first time she had experienced such coldness from him. Did he see through my ruse?

At that moment, she dared not continue with her act. If Maverick had actually noticed anything, he

would only be more put off if she proceeded with the cover-up.

“Mave, it’s because Gwendolyn made fun of me using the ugly picture of me from my fiasco on the

stage. I was enraged, so I tried to splash wine at her… I’ve not changed much, Mave. I’m still me.”

Natasha explained.

Maverick said nothing in response, allowing her to ratile on next to him.

Panic washed over Natasha when she did not get any ply from him. As a result, she began to weep

once again

“Mave you’re scaring me. You promised to make things official and to make up for all the things you

owed me in the past Believe me. I didn’t do it on purpose,” she said.

The repeated mention of the past caused Maverick to frown subconsciously.

A trace of disgust welled up in his heart. It seemed that Natasha had been jumping at every opportunity

to guilt-trip him with the past since she came back from abroad.

The woman before him was becoming further and further from the young girl in his memories.

She’d only left for three years. Could a person change so much in such a short span of time?

Madelyn overheard the conversation between them. Being a woman herself, she was well aware of

and also disgusted by Natasha’s actions. After rolling her eyes silently, she turned around to leave.

However, Maverick called out to her. “Mrs. Mossey, Tasha isn’t in high spirits today. I think it might be

best to let her retire early.”

Madelyn dared not refuse. Wearing a benevolent smile, she went over and led Natasha away while

holding the latter’s arm gently.

It was only when Maverick was well out of her sight that Madelyn stopped smiling and discreetly.

pinched the younger woman’s arm. “Lexpected nothing less from the daughter of a mistress! He’s

already gone, so stop acting. It makes my blood boil the muttered.

In response, Natasha shot her a fierce glare.

“What are you looking at? Do you think I’m scared of you?” Madelyn viciously flung away Natasha’s

hand and headed toward the main banquet hall

After leaving the Mossey residence, Joaquin and Gwendolyn parted ways.

Gwendolyn returned to Treyton’s mansion on her own. After taking a bath, she put on a sheet mask

and nibbled some fresh fruit, feeling very much at case

Suddenly, her phone rang

She glanced at the caller ID and answered the call without hesitation. “Thank you for tonight. If not for

you. I might have made a fool of myself.”

On the other end of the line, Ms Z let out a bark of laughter. “You’re welcome! Only the bests are

allowed to wear the clothes I make My First Snow fits you like a glove, as though it was made just for

you If that garment had ended up on Natasha’s body, d have been terribly depressed

Gwendolyn smuled

Fortunately, Joaquin found out that something seemed off about the gown before they left for the

banquet. It was only after Gwendolyn made a call to MsZ that she discovered it was a high-quality

imitation.

It was also fortunate that Natasha’s figure was more rounded than hers, so she could not fit into the

dress. Thanks to the alteration request she had made, Gwendolyn had the opportunity to get the real

First Snow back.

“Regardless, thank you for this. I’ll treat you to a meal when you come back.”

At that moment. Ms. Z was watching Joaquin’s video of Gwendolyn dancing to “Lover.” Smirking, she

replied, “There’s no need for that. If you can model for me again, I’ll be overjoyed.”

“Well, I’m not cheap. We’ll revisit this topic when you can afford my hourly rates.”

Ms. Z groaned dramatically. Then, she aggrievedly complained about Gwendolyn’s heartlessness while

also praising the latter’s performance from that evening.

The two old friends who had not been in contact for a while chatted well into the night.

The next day, Gwendolyn woke up on time to get ready for work. She was in a good mood.

However, when she arrived at the company building, she realized that the passing employees all

looked at her with oddly complicated expressions.
