Abusive Wife

Chapter 298 Annalise’s Transformation

When Madeline reached the banquet hall, she was surprised to see Natalia actually engaged in a conversation with Annalise.

When Natalia’s reputation was getting smeared by Annalise back then, perhaps the two parties had reached a reconciliation. Maybe that was why they had to appear as if they were on good terms.

Annalise was wearing a yellow evening dress today which made her appear youthful. She did not look arrogant like how she usually was.

“Ms. Madeline,” Natalia called out to her from afar.

Natalia did not know anyone in the hall, so when Annalise came to talk to her, she would still feel happy even though she knew that Annalise might have some hidden agenda.

However, even though the conversation just started, Natalia realized that it was hard for her to talk about substantial topics with Annalise.

This was because Annalise had been talking about fashion or the prospect of the Solace and Law family getting into a business partnership, which she had no interest in. Natalia wanted to laugh at most of the things Annalise had said, yet she could not just do that in public. It was so hard for her to keep her laughter in.

Now that she suddenly saw Madeline, it was like she had seen her savior.

Madeline walked toward her with a glass of wind. She exchanged banter with Natalia, and she also greeted Annalise out of politeness.

“Luckily you’re here. Or else I really don’t know how to carry myself in this place,” Natalia had talked to Madeline a few times in the past, so naturally, she was more comfortable with Madeline. She looked more relaxed being with her.

Therefore, she commented without giving it much thought.

However, although she was just giving a harmless comment, her words might be twisted by someone else.
