Sophia Wanqing never dreamed that her usually obedient daughter would be standing right at the front door, pressed against the wall with a stranger in such an intimate position.
Her vision went black for a moment, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
However, she quickly recovered. The beautiful eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses sharpened like blades as she stared coldly at Madison and Sophia Hong.
At this moment, Sophia Hong was scared silly. Her mind went completely blank, and she had no idea what to do. She stood there dumbfounded!
She both loved and feared her mother, Sophia Wanqing. Like a frightened little quail, she instinctively hid in Madison's arms, trembling slightly.
Madison, on the other hand, remained extremely calm. She gently pulled Sophia Hong closer, wrapping an arm around her and patting her back soothingly to comfort her.
At the same time, her signature sincere and charming smile appeared on her face. She looked at Sophia Wanqing and greeted her politely:
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Mianmian's girlfriend, Madison Harrington. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Sophia Wanqing's expression softened slightly. She glared at her daughter with annoyance before turning to Madison and showing a polite, measured smile:
"Come inside. We need to have a proper talk."
After saying this, she turned and walked back into the villa.
Clearly, she was giving Madison and Sophia Hong a moment to compose themselves.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here!"
Madison looked at Sophia Hong with a gentle smile and whispered softly in her ear.
Feeling the warm breath against her ear, Sophia Hong's pretty face flushed red again. She immediately glared at Madison resentfully and whispered:
"If we don't pass this test, I'll beat you to death!"
As she spoke, she bared her small white teeth threateningly.
Madison smiled meaningfully and replied in a leisurely tone:
"Beat me? You're more than welcome to try."
Afterward, Madison and Sophia Hong sat down on the sofa in the living room. Three cups of fine Longjing tea had been placed on the small table in front of them.
Wisps of fragrant steam rose, carrying a refreshing aroma.
Sophia Hong sat properly, like a well-bred young lady, behaving perfectly ladylike.
Madison, however, simply picked up a cup of Longjing tea, took a light sip, and said with a smile:
"Good tea!"
Opposite them, Sophia Wanqing maintained a polite smile, but the sharp eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses were constantly observing Madison.
"The way of tea is the way of a person. The quality of the tea often reflects the quality of the drinker. Someone who can remain calm and composed, enjoying tea leisurely even in such a situation, is certainly no ordinary person!"
"With a vast mind and lofty ambitions, remaining unflustered even if Mount Tai were to collapse before them — the ancients would say such a person is fit to be a great general!"
Sophia Wanqing suddenly smiled, elegantly lifting her teacup and taking a slow sip. Every movement blended perfectly with the tea, making her look graceful and beautiful.
Madison smiled back and said:
"Auntie, I've learned much from you already!"
"If I could hear your teachings often in the future, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams!"
Sophia Wanqing chuckled softly:
"You flatter me."
"We should learn from each other. As the saying goes, among any three people, there is surely a teacher to be found."
"Yes, yes, definitely. Auntie, let's learn from each other!"
Afterward, Sophia Wanqing and Madison began conversing. She asked about some of Madison's background.
Naturally, Madison didn't reveal everything, keeping certain things hidden, though she did share some of her family background.
That thirty-million-dollar red limited-edition Lamborghini parked outside was proof enough.
The main goal right now was the conquest stage. She would take it slow, and eventually everything would fall into place.
The reason a destined heroine was a destined heroine was that she naturally possessed the quality of remaining untainted and refusing to bow for mere material gain.
Even if you threw a hundred million at her, she would stubbornly refuse!
But if you spent that hundred million to create various romantic gestures and heartfelt moments, winning her over wouldn't be difficult.
A destined heroine might not love money, but every heart-fluttering moment required money or other capabilities to support it.
Heroines in "super rich" novels were an exception, but unfortunately, Madison hadn't encountered one yet. Otherwise, her destiny value would have skyrocketed.
It was only because she had saved the Whitaker family that Elena's favorability had reached over seventy. Yet it still wasn't as high as Sophia Hong's — whom she had only known for half a day and already had at eighty.
Madison wanted to create a control group to see which approach was more efficient. Of course, the main thing was simply to enjoy life!
Anyway, no one was giving her any forced tasks. Why work so hard?
Enjoying the villainess's life — how wonderful that was!
Even a mere "master descending from the mountain" like Ethan Blackwood… Madison was now confident she could handle him easily!
Meanwhile, Sophia Wanqing observed Madison carefully. A look of satisfaction appeared on her still-charming face.
She didn't really care much about family background, as long as her daughter's future partner treated her well.
Most importantly, the person shouldn't be a gigolo who only wanted to swindle money and affection.
The moment earlier, when Madison had protectively pulled Sophia Hong into her arms, had already earned her a lot of points in Sophia Wanqing's heart!
After some conversation, Sophia Wanqing felt quite reassured.
She rolled her eyes at her daughter, who was sitting upright like a proper young lady, and said:
"You really… bringing back a girlfriend without saying a word. You gave me quite a scare."
"However, you have a good eye. Maddie is quite an excellent young woman!"
"You're a college student now, so you can date. But be careful. Mom isn't some old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud…"
Sophia Hong let out a big sigh of relief. She happily sat next to her mother and acted spoiled:
"Mom, I'm just glad you aren't mad at me."
For some reason, she didn't explain that Madison wasn't actually her girlfriend yet. It seemed she had silently accepted it by default.
Madison smiled gracefully.
Swish!
At this moment, it was already past ten o'clock at night. Outside, in the darkness, a torrential rain had suddenly begun to fall.
It was pitch black, and one could barely see their own hand in front of their face.
Seeing this, Sophia Wanqing said to Madison:
"It's so dark and raining heavily. It's not safe to drive. You should stay here for the night. There are plenty of guest rooms."
There were no live-in housekeepers — only hourly workers who came regularly to clean.
Sophia Wanqing and her daughter were not used to having live-in staff.
Only the two of them lived in the villa.
The security in this high-end villa area was excellent. It was basically impossible for outsiders to sneak in, so they felt very safe.
Madison showed a dashing and sincere smile and replied:
"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie…"
