Chapter 48 He Feels Like Puking

• That was because Cameron was the Taylor Family's illegitimate daughter, while Madeline was the daughter of an illegitimate daughter. This meant that Madeline had no rights in the family. Madeline had met Michael a few times, but they hadn't properly talked to each other in the past. The only time Madeline ever spoke to Michael and Crystal was when Madeline had paid a visit to the Taylor Residence.
• Madeline was walking directly toward Michael and Crystal back then, and she couldn't avoid them in time, so she had no choice but to bow to them before greeting them as Mr. and Mrs. Wendel. Crystal didn't even glance in Madeline's direction and simply walked past her with the aura of a haughty queen. Michael, on the other hand, only gave her a nod. His movements were elegant, and his expression was gentle—he was an extremely handsome and mesmerizing man. Time was on his side as he didn't seem to have aged much over the years. Although he was the father of four sons, he looked like he was only in his thirties. He was used to wearing a pair of round, gold-framed glasses, and he was always dressed in a well-ironed suit with a spotless white shirt under it. He was tall, charismatic, and elegant at the same time.
• However, Madeline heard rumors saying that this was just the way he appeared to be. Beneath the gentle and elegant front that he put up, Michael was actually a heartless and vicious man when he was doing business. Both Michael and Nigel were the same age, and they used to be classmates in university. They had both taken over the Wendel and Taylor Corporations at the same time. That year, when they both inherited their respective companies, both companies had been rather similar in terms of reputation and financial power. However, Taylor Corporation was currently only in the top 100 most influential companies in the world, while Wendel Corporation had made its way up to the top 50. Michael's skills and talent were evident through his achievements.
