Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 362

Savannah quickly steadied her, only to see a row of housemaids standing downstairs. She was exasperated and livid. She wished she could faint from the chaos right there and then.

How on earth was she going to clean up this mess?

“Shirley.”

Savannah called out.

Shirley quickly emerged from the crowd, answering respectfully, “Yes, Ma’am.”

“Come upstairs.”

Savannah commanded.

Shirley hurriedly ascended the stairs.

Savannah gestured for Shirley to help steady Madeleine and instructed, “Take Ms. Porter to her usual guestroom and help her into some fresh clothes.”

Shirley quickly took charge of Madeleine and told the old lady, “Ma’am, I can’t manage Ms. Porter by myself.”

So, the old lady summoned her daughter-in-law to help upstairs.

Kayla and Shirley worked together to help Madeleine back to her room to change.

“Mother.”

Breaking free from Hayden's embrace, Ashley flung herself at Savannah's feet, sobbing and clinging to her legs. “Mother, you must stand up for me!”

Ashley was furious and scared.

Not scared of having hit Madeleine, but scared that her husband, in order to explain things to Madeleine, would divorce her.

She knew that Madeleine was set on marrying into the Blue family to become the matriarch, and the Porter family wanted to use Madeleine to infiltrate the Blue family, to disrupt their unity. Once Madeleine became the matriarch, the Porter family could, through Madeleine, slowly take over the Blue family, becoming the leading family in Skywatch.

Ashley had been married into the Blue family for two decades, and she wasn't about to hand over everything she'd built to Madeleine.

For the sake of her position, Ashley knew that her alliance with Madeleine could not continue. Not only could it not continue, but they would become enemies.

She also had to be wary of Hayden and Madeleine together.

Regardless of the outcome, Ashley and Madeleine's secret alliance was over.

“Get up, Ashley,” said Savannah, rubbing her temples. “Don’t worry, you won’t be wronged. We’ll make sure Hayden gives you an explanation. He did say it was Madeleine who initiated.”

Savannah didn’t finish her sentence.

Everyone present knew that Savannah had determined Madeleine to be the one at fault.

“Hayden, what are you standing there for? Go change your clothes. Ashley, don’t make a fuss with Hayden right now. Wait till your elder brother comes back.”

The matriarch barked.
