Chapter 588: You Have a Boyfriend?
After hearing Luke’s words, Madison was shocked.
She never thought Mr. McDonald’s identity would be so terrifying!
“But Grandpa, no matter how powerful Mr. McDonald is, we shouldn’t be like this, right? We didn’t do anything wrong in this matter, and there are so many people in the hall now. If we offend those people in the hall because of Mr. McDonald, wouldn’t it be a bit of a loss? It would be fine if Mr. McDonald forgives us in the end, but what if he doesn’t?”
At this moment, Madison had already realized the seriousness of the matter.
However, she still didn’t want to offend so many guests who came to celebrate her birthday for Mr. McDonald, whom she didn’t even know.
“We can’t think too much now. If Mr. McDonald can forgive us, that’s naturally the best. If Mr. McDonald is unwilling to forgive us, then we have no choice but to leave it to fate!” Luke said to Madison helplessly.
“Grandpa, I don’t think Mr. McDonald is a petty person. We don’t have to go over in such a hurry. We can wait until the banquet is over before going over!” Madison continued to persuade him.
Seeing that Madison didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, Luke said in a low voice, “Madison, there’s actually something that Grandpa hasn’t told you. Since things have already come to this, I’ll tell you the truth!”
“The truth?”
Madison couldn’t help but frown when she heard this. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression, “What do you mean?”
“Madison, I’ve met Mr. McDonald a few times. He is about the same age as you…” Luke said slowly.
“The same age?” Madison couldn’t help but exclaim. The expression on her face seemed to be even more shocked.
She had never thought Mr. McDonald would be so young!
“He might be a few years younger than you…” Luke continued,
“Grandpa, what are you trying to say?”
Madison frowned and asked in a low voice when she saw Luke’s strange expression.
“I want to introduce you to Mr. McDonald. If you can become a couple, that would be the best. If you can’t become a couple, you can be friends too…”
Luke directly said what was in his heart.

When Madison heard this, she was stunned on the spot. Her expression was very shocked.
In fact, Madison had already guessed that something was wrong, but she never thought that Luke would want to matchmake her and Mr. McDonald.
“Grandpa, are you kidding me?” Madison shouted.
“I’m not joking with you. I’m very serious about matchmaking you and Mr. McDonald.”
“Madison, it’s been so many years, but Grandpa has never asked you for anything. No matter what kind of request you have, Grandpa will try his best to satisfy you, but you must listen to me on this matter!”
Luke said to Madison seriously.
“Why?”
Madison opened her big, watery eyes and shouted excitedly.
“There are some things that I didn’t intend to tell you. But since things have already come to this, then I won’t hide anything from you.”
“Now, our Phillips family can be said to have enemies on all sides. Whether it’s in Porthampton or Borealis City, our position is in danger. Many big families are staring at us and want to annex our family.”
“To put it bluntly, it’s because the backing of our Phillips family is not strong enough. In this society, without connections, then no matter how much money you have, you’re still working for someone else! If our Phillips family doesn’t find a powerful backer in the next five years, then we’re as good as done for. Do you understand?”
Luke said to Madison with a serious expression.
Madison looked at Luke and kept silent for two seconds. Then she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “So, Grandpa, you want me to seduce Mr. McDonald and make him the Phillips family’s backer, right?”
“I’m not asking you to seduce Mr. McDonald. I just think that since you’re about the same age as him, it’d be great if you can be with him. Even if you can’t be a couple, you can be friends!” Luke said excitedly.
“Why should I be with a man I don’t even know?” Madison looked at Luke with an incredulous expression. She didn’t expect Luke to have such an outrageous idea.
“Madison, aren’t you from the Phillips family? Didn’t the Phillips family give you everything you have now? Now that we need you to make a small sacrifice, aren’t you willing?”
Luke also became agitated. He didn’t expect Madison to be so resistant.
However, Luke didn’t know that Madison didn’t like men, and she couldn’t be with a stranger.
“I’m a member of the Phillips family, but I’m not a tool! Why should I sacrifice my happiness for the Phillips family?” Madison shouted.
Luke was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that he had gone overboard.
Therefore, he hurriedly explained to Madison, “Madison, Grandpa might have been a little agitated just now. I just wanted to tell you that if you can be with Mr. McDonald, it will be of great help to both you and the Phillips family. Even if you don’t want to be with him, it will be of great help if the two of you can become friends…”
“If I don’t sleep with Mr. McDonald, why would he want to be friends with me? And what right do I have to be his friend? Don’t you just want to sacrifice me to help the Phillips family?” Madison shouted.
“So what if you sacrifice yourself for the Phillips family?”
Luke widened his eyes and shouted, then continued, “I’m telling you, I’m not discussing this with you. I’m telling you that you have to get close to Mr. McDonald!”
“What if I don’t agree?” Madison replied unhappily.
“What right do you have to disagree?”
“I… I already have a boyfriend. I can’t be with Mr. McDonald!”
Madison suddenly remembered how Rachel had rejected her and shouted expressionlessly.
“You already have a boyfriend?”
Luke widened his eyes in disbelief.
He had never thought that Madison would already have a boyfriend!
