You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 111 Fallen for Madeline’s Charms

“That’s because Angie is the third idiot,” Sebastian answered. “Like most idiots, she won’t have the patience to wait things out; she’d grab the first opportunity that comes her way, and she thinks this dinner is the best chance she’s got. This will be the first time she’s seeing Nicholas after the incident, and I’m sure they’ll have plenty of things to tell each other. Angie can always spin him some lie about being upset and needing someone to drink with her, and the rest… well, you know how it goes.”

Madeline blinked at him in surprise. Indeed, she did know—this was exactly what she imagined Angie would be capable of planning.

She was young, but having to work to fend for herself and her kids made her world-weary. She had seen her fair share of the different kinds of people in this world, and women like Angie made up a huge part of them.

Now that Angie could no longer rely on the main Wendel household, she was going to have to come up with a contingency plan to carry on her life of luxury if she didn’t want to join the workforce. Simple-minded as she was, she naturally thought about marrying rich, but her less-than-favorable lineage and background were deterring factors. As things were, Nicholas was the best, if not the only choice she had at the moment.

As such, she would try to plot against him and lure the man into getting her pregnant. Then, she would force him to marry her.

Madeline had known Angie since they were children, and she understood Angie well enough to know that the girl had little common sense and no strategic mind. She probably panicked herself silly and decided that becoming Mrs. Wendel was the only way she could remain in high society.

She was worried that once her true identity was revealed, those who knew her would start to shun her and make fun of her. If she could become Mrs. Wendel in the next month or so, she could still retain her dignity even if the truth of her background came out.

With all these reasons in play, Madeline was sure that Angie would strike soon, but she was certain of these things only because she had known Angie for many years and had become familiar with her ways.

For Sebastian to be able to make such accurate and similar guesses was, to some extent, surprising.

After all, he had only met Angie less than a handful of times.

Presently, when Sebastian caught sight of the astonished look on Madeline’s face as she assessed him openly, he flashed a grin and asked, “What’s the matter? Did my intelligence shock you?”

She sighed and resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him in exasperation. Can’t be good for one to praise oneself too much, she wanted to say.
