Chapter 364 Just then, a man approached and raised his glass to Madisyn.
"I toast to you, the most beautiful girl in our school.
Looking up, Madisyn realized she did not recognize the man.
"I'm sorry.
I'm not fond of drinking," Madisyn said bluntly.
"Do you know what Asher is up to these days, Madisyn? I wouldn't dismiss him so quickly," Teresa said with a mischievous grin.
It turned out the man was Asher Cruz, someone who had pursued Madisyn earnestly during their high school years.
But she was clueless about his current endeavors.

" As he spoke, Asher reached out to touch Madisyn's shoulder.
Susan felt a surge of annoyance, but Madisyn swiftly grabbed his hand and pushed it away.

Jenna watched the unfolding with narrowed eyes.

In high school, Asher had feelings for Madisyn, but he held back because she was from the prestigious Chapman family.
Now, Madisyn had lost her status.
This made it simpler for Asher to pursue her.
Indeed, this was on Asher's mind.
Moreover, hearing rumors of Madisyn attempting to charm Dane, Asher thought of her as a slut.
Back then, when he admired her, she had seemed unattainable and virtuous.
Now, she was a village girl, while he had risen in status.
Asher thought she would surely seek his favor when she learned of his improved circumstances.
Yet, he hadn't anticipated Madisyn rejecting his advance so firmly.
"Madisyn, how dare you treatthis way?" Asher seethed, pain shooting through his hand.

In a gentle tone, Jenna intervened, "Madisyn, aren't you looking for an protector now? Asher's family holds nearly the sinfluence as the Santos family. You'd find happiness with him eventually.
Forget about Dane.
He's completely out of your reach.
Asher's expression softened at Jenna's words.
He slammed his glass down, peered at Madisyn with arrogance, and m proposed, "If you drink this now, I'll overlook your impudence just this once!" Everyone's eyes turned to Madisyn.
They were expecting her to comply.
