?<strong>Chapter 1088:</strong>


    She scrolled through the page, asionally zooming in on photos, until the taxi pulled up to her destination. Only then did she realize how much time had passed while she was absorbed in the webpage.


    Quickly closing the page, she paid the fare and headed to her rented apartment.


    Today was Friday, the day of thevish party Susan was hosting for Docie.


    The event promised opulence, exclusivity, and an impressive guest list. Since it was held at one of the finest hotels owned by Johns Group, it was only natural that Madisyn would be there.


    Susan stood at the entrance of the banquet hall to wee every guest, with Docie by her side. When Madisyn noticed that Susan had been standing for a long time, she became concerned that Susan might be feeling tired. She approached Susan with a warm smile and gently pulled her aside.


    “Susan, you’ve been weing guests non-stop. You must be tired by now. Why don’t you take a little break? I can wee the guests on your behalf for a bit.”


    Susan smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll let you know if I get tired. Just enjoy yourself first.”


    Madisyn paused, studying Susan’s determined expression. She knew Susan too well to push her further. Susan had helped Docie make asting impression on the guests, ensuring they remembered her as Susan’s apprentice.


    When the party finally came to an end, the guests said their goodbyes to Susan and Docie one by one. After everyone had left, Susan and Docie walked out of the hotel with Madisyn.


    “I’ll drive you two home,” Madisyn offered, having deliberately avoided drinking at the party for this reason.


    Of course, Susan didn’t refuse. She even hugged Madisyn gratefully. “Madisyn, thank you for being here today.”


    Madisyn patted Susan on the back. “Anything for you. Now, let’s get in the car.”


    Madisyn opened the back seat door for Susan, but just as Susan was about to step in, Madisyn suddenly grabbed her arm. “Susan, wait!”


    “What’s wrong?” Susan asked in confusion, her brows furrowing slightly. She turned and met Madisyn’s gaze.


    Madisyn raised her chin, looking behind her. “Susan, look who’sing.”


    Susan’s eyes widened as she quickly turned around. Across the wide, clean road, she saw Dane in a long trench coat, crossing the street toward them. His presence seemed almost…


    Otherworldly, outshining even the bright streetlights that lined the road, Dane’s presence was unmistakable. “Madisyn, I’m taking Susan home.”


    Madisyn could feel the deep love and care Dane had for Susan, and she was truly happy for both of them.


    Susan’s ears turned slightly pink, and her face flushed in embarrassment. But she quickly asked, “If you’re taking me home, what about Docie?”


    Madisyn chimed in, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Docie. Actually, I nned to stay at the manor after I drop you off, but since Dane is here, I can just go back to my vi.”


    Since the misunderstanding between ine and Luka had been resolved, Dane and his parents had recently moved to the manor next to Luka’s.


    Dane was still concerned about Madisyn driving alone at night. Madisyn immediately understood and yfully winked at him, shaking the car keys in her hand. “Dane, have you forgotten how good I am at driving?”
