Chapter 20
Warren did not appear again for the next week.
Carissa couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She knew that Warren would not be able to distance himself from Madilyn.
After all, when she was almost killed by Jared, Madilyn only shed a few tears, and Warren tenderly comforted her.
Now that I have already left, just as Madilyn wished, she is even less likely to let Warren off easily.
Maybe she just cried a few times in grievance, and Warren forgave her, and they lived happily together…
However, Warren no longer came to bother Carissa. Melvin felt happy for her, but at the same time, he had an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.
It seemed like he had no excuse to continue picking up and dropping off Carissa for work.
To be honest, he cherished this time alone.
Melvin could feel Carissa’s growing closeness towards him, and she became more and more natural when they were together.
That’s enough.
The ringing of the phone brought his thoughts back.
Melvin glanced down and saw a message from Carissa.
“Let’s go out for dinner tonight. Emma recommended a new restaurant to me, and we can go and taste the food there!”
A touch of joy crossed his lowered eyes, and he immediately agreed without hesitation.
On the other hand, Carissa couldn’t help but smile when she saw his response.
A week later, she represented the studio to attend a public press conference.
On the way, her eyelids kept twitching, and an inexplicable sense of unease lingered in her heart.
Melvin noticed her strangeness and furrowed his brow as he asked, “What’s wrong? Why does your face look so unpleasant?”
Carissa fell silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and shook her head.
However, Melvin did not relax because of this.
“If I didn’t feel well, I wouldn’t go to the press conference first. Anyway, it’s not a very important event.”
Carissa pulled out a faint smile.
“It’s nothing, just a little nervous. This is my first time representing the studio in an event, and I don’t want to give up easily.”
Looking at Melvin’s furrowed brow, she said soothingly.
“Can I immediately withdraw from the activity if I felt uncomfortable?”
J
Upon hearing these words, Melvin finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Okay, I will be there with you at the scene. Just let me know if you need anything.”
Carissa responded softly.
After arriving at the scene, she sat in her seat under the guidance of the staff.
The meeting proceeded in an orderly manner, and Carissa gradually relaxed.
The press conference was halfway through when suddenly a disheveled woman rushed in.
Before everyone could react, she rushed directly in front of Carissa and knelt down with a “thud“.
“Please, Ms. Solomon, give me back my husband!”

Carissa didn’t recognize Madilyn until she heard the familiar voice of the woman.
I don’t know what she went through in the past half month, but she has not only lost a lot of weight, but her face also has a unhealthy paleness, making her red eyes even scarier.
She grabbed Carissa’s sleeve and cried, pleadingly, “Ms. Solomon, please don’t seduce my husband. I beg you, please don’t come and destroy my family!”
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The media who came to attend the press conference immediately sensed the gossip when they saw the scene, and instantly aimed their cameras at Carissa and Madilyn, who were kneeling on the ground.
Some even eagerly wanted to rush up and get first–hand information for an exclusive interview.
Carissa suppressed her anger and coldly pulled Madilyn’s hand away.
“Madilyn, stop freaking out here. Warren and I have already broken up! And I was with him for six years. So, who was the mistress after all? You should know better than me!” !
However, Madilyn was secretly wearing a sinister smile that no one could see.
“So what? I had a marriage certificate, I was Warren’s legally recognized wife. What proof can you provide?”
During this period, she was treated like a servant by the Swanson family.
Because she couldn’t come up with the money to pay back the Swanson family, they made her serve Jared’s parents.
Jared’s mother not only nitpicked at him every day, but also physically abused and verbally berated him whenever she thought about her son being in
prison.
Jared’s father, on the other hand, would always take advantage of the moments when no one was paying attention to touch her inappropriately.
Every day, she not only couldn’t eat well, but she also dared not close her eyes to sleep, and her body was covered in bruises.
From childhood to adulthood, where has Madilyn experienced such hardships?
Just as she was on the verge of despair, Warren finally found the Swanson family.
Originally, Madilyn thought that Warren came to rescue her.
She threw herself into Warren’s arms, crying bitterly, with scars all over her body and a heart full of grievances.
“Warren, you finally came to save me. Please take me away from here quickly. They have been abusing me every day, and it hurts so much…”
However, Warren forcefully pushed her away.
“These are all what you deserve. You should atone for the sins you have committed on your own. I am here to divorce you.”
He said as he pulled out a divorce agreement from his pocket and placed it in front of her.
“Hurry up and sign it.”
At that moment, Madilyn finally understood that Warren would no longer help her.
So she used signing the divorce agreement as a condition to force Warren to take her away from the Swanson family.
Madilyn attributed all the pain she had experienced to Carissa.
If it weren’t for Carissa, Warren wouldn’t have changed his mind. He would have loved and taken care of her wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.
Everything is ruined now!
It’s all Carissa’s fault! She had to ruín Carissa’s reputation!
Several reporters on the scene couldn’t hold back any longer and crowded around Carissa, bombarding her with questions.
“Ms, Solomon, did you, as the lady claimed, intervene in her family? Please respond to this.”
“Excuse me, is what this young lady saying true? Did you really get involved in someone else’s family…”

Melvin immediately rushed up to protect Carissa upon seeing the situation, and called on the staff on site to quickly maintain order.
Soon, Madilyn was escorted out of the venue by security.
The press conference continued to proceed as planned.
However, at this time, all the situations were being live–streamed on the internet by a mobile phone.
