Chapter 55
“Timothy!” Caspian shrunk back and greeted Timothy respectfully.
“Sir!” Casplan’s men also greeted.
“Mr. Dashner!” Stella and the others shivered in fear.
Timothy hummed and turned his gaze toward Caspian. He asked, “What happened, Caspian? What’s with all the ruckus?”
Cameron and Dakota were present, so Timothy didn’t want anything unpleasant to happen. He was afraid that it might ruin the couple’s mood at the banquet.
“Timothy, it’s…” Caspian started.
“This is what happened, Mr. Dashner!” Madison butted in, afraid that Caspian might start lying through his teeth. “Your underling, Caspian, had joined hands with Cameron to bully me and my boyfriend. He even had his men hit me!”
“So was it you two stirring up trouble earlier?” Timothy furrowed his brows.
“It’s not, Mr. Dashner!” Madison noticed Timothy’s cold gaze and immediately explained, “Lord Caspian had made a deal with Cameron, and they are now bullying us! Didn’t you say you were holding this banquet for me? Yet those two are claiming that you threw the banquet for Cameron!”
“But that’s not all! Just when I wanted to warn you about this, Lord Caspian started to threaten me! He asked his men to hit me and even threatened to break my legs! It’s one thing for them to hit me, but they even lied to you! They must have done something to delay your arrival here! They deserve to be punished!” Madison sobbed.
If the people in the room didn’t know better, they might have taken her side.
Caspian’s face darkened. He wanted to shut Madison up for good! How dare that silver–tongued bitch insult him in front of Timothy?
However, Cameron found the situation amusing. He had to praise Madison’s creativity for spinning this wonderful story.
Dakota lowered her head sadly. Madison had changed. This wasn’t the Madison she knew…
Stella and the others held their breath as they observed Timothy’s darkening expression. Was
Madison telling the truth?
Amidst the silence, Timothy suddenly piped up, “When did I say I was throwing the banquet for you?”
“Didn’t you?” Madison froze.
Archie, Stella, and all the other guests were dumbfounded. Did Timothy have a change of heart? But they were sure that Timothy had promised to throw a birthday banquet for Madison!
While the confusion settled in, Timothy added, “I promised to throw a birthday banquet for you
because I thought you were Mr. Morgan’s friend. But I never said you would be the star of the show. As for why I was late, I was busy preparing a gift for Mr. Morgan and Ms. Jennings. What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied with me?”
