Chapter 845:
Jaxson’s sharp words struck again. Nancy's smile faltered. Sean shot a glance at her. “My mother adopted her
abroad. When she heard about the welcparty, she insisted on coming 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 Kayla had the time, she would take

great care.
With Sean present, the people in the private room exhibited remarkable patience with Nancy. Joanna was the
only exception, still preoccupied with Susanna lying in the ward. She couldn't understand why Kayla showcased
her adopted daughter at various social events while her own biological daughter remained hospitalized. Frankly,
she considered Kayla’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
relationship with Norah, Madeline feared that any misstep on her part would result in her expulsion.
However, Madeline’s purpose in coming 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
contemplated pleading with him to consider extending cooperation to her husband and father. Observing the
dedication with which her father and husband toiled, Madeline felt compelled to do something to help them.

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 stime. 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.
