Chapter 12 Madison lay in the sanatorium . Although she was weak , her face no longer bore the deathly pallor it had a year ago . " Darling . " A tall man pushed open the door , resting his chin on Madison's shoulder , his gaze falling on the tablet in her hands . The tablet was playing Miami news , and it was about Ronan . " My wife is browsing news about her ex right in front of me . My heart truly aches . " Madison turned off the tablet , and the dark screen reflected the faces of the two of them . A handsome man and a beautiful woman , the two of them together were a striking sight . Madison tilted her head slightly , pressed a finger against Aziel's forehead , and pushed him away forcefully . " I'm not your wife . " Faced with Madison's coldness , the man didn't get angry . Instead , he affectionately nuzzled Madison's cheek . " Darling , you really are ruthless . When you need me , I'm your groom ; when you don't , you're so indifferent . But we did register as a married couple in Miami , after all . " " This is Massachusetts , " Madison adjusted her plain glasses , " We're 0.00 % Chapter 12 business partners . You should call me Ms. Litton . " " Alright , darling .

Though she didn't want to admit it , Madison still remembered the silhouette of him walking toward her against the light . The tall man had a roguish air . " Beautiful bride , your knight has come to rescue you . " Lifting her up in his arms , Aziel didn't mind Madison's bloodstained body and personally dressed her in layer upon layer of wedding gown . Although it was just an act , the wedding dress was exceptionally luxurious , as if someone had prepared it with great care . Madison held the half- burned talisman that Eloise had set on fire , watching as they drew closer and closer to Massachusetts . } As fate would have it , she ended up meeting Ronan again . She gave Ronan a deep look , and the window beside her automatically rolled up . Aziel leaned over . " Today , I'm the main character . With such a handsome groom right here , yet you look at another man instead . That makes me sad . " 77.87 % Chapter 12 11 He seemed a bit unreliable , but his actions were swift and decisive .

" The Litton Group specialized in jewelry and owned the largest gemstone mine in all of America . " Why work with me ? I'm just a designer who doesn't know anything about running a business .

A contract was placed in front of Madison . " A prenuptial agreement ? " Madison raised her eyebrows slightly . " Marriage is the most stable partnership .

" Madison felt a chill on her finger . Looking down , she saw her finger stained with red ink , already pressed onto the contract . " This is illegal . " Madison's eyelids grew heavy , and she drifted off to sleep . When she woke up again , Madi Jewelry had already been established , and Madison had transformed into Ms. Litton , the face of a rising new brand . After being discharged and moving into Aziel's house , Madison still felt as if everything was unreal .
