Chapter 215
A fifty odd year-old man stood up as he slammed the table. "What do you mean by that?! Are you saying my sister deserved to die?!""What about me then? Am I deserving of my wounds? I shouldn't protect myself? Also, that man Danny stabbed, did he deserved that as well?" Madelyn was about to lose her temper. Moreover, it was not like the deceased's side was at the right, and it was not as if she was disrespecting the dead. She was just stating the facts of the matter.They had been born in the sixties and seventies, an era that lacked education. Moreover, they were rural villagers with little knowledge of the law, so such things were simply incomprehensible to them.That was what Madelyn had thought, but it did not mean she was painting broad strokes. Her grandmother too lived in a rural village, and in that age, keeping themselves fed was itself an issue, much less being literate. It only took her grandfather a few sacks of grain to wed her grandmother.Her grandmother had married

Madelyn was seating in the lounge with a glass of hot water in her hands. She then asked Kevin. "How does Zach plan to deal with Danny's case?"Kevin was walking to the door when he heard her voice and stopped. "Miss Madelyn, it's better if you don't know. Mr. Zach has his ways, and he'll deal with this once and for all."After some time, another commotion happened at the door.It seemed like someone else had arrived.Madelyn wanted to go and have a look, but after some thought, she decided against it as she did not want to add to his troubles.The next moment, the lounge room door suddenly opened.Seeing the person appearing before her shocked Madelyn so much that she was at a loss for words. A smart-looking Ethan, clad in gray suit, stood before her."Why... why are you here?"George, who was behind him quickly explained. "Arnold Corporation is the biggest investor of this school, so we rushed over the moment we heard something had happened. But more so, it is because of you

Madelyn simply nodded.He really was a gentle person, even willing to put down his work to help her resolve her problems. Madelyn knew what sort of status he held in Ventropolis, and he did not need to show up for trivial matters like this, but yet he still came...The more he treated her well like this, the more burdensome Madelyn felt. She could never provide a response to his feelings.She was still too young now, and so was he. The future was still full of possibilities.After all, no one knows what the future holds...There were plenty of women who would pursue him, and compared to him, Madelyn felt like a dime a dozen.If it was due to her actions that time of pulling him back from the brink and saving his life, he had already repaid that debt of kindness long ago. The birthday present and everything else he had prepared for her was the biggest surprise she had received in both her lifetimes...Madelyn had never wanted anything from him since the very beginning.Ethan als

Upon receiving the call from the school, Zach immediately canceled the meeting and rushed to the school.'Actually, I can handle this matter. Mr. Jardin doesn't have to be involved,' Kevin thought.Then, he said slowly, "Do you really want to expel Danny from school and sentence him to ten years of imprisonment? As far as I know, Ms. Jent caused all of this."Zach's deep gaze fixed on Kevin and then shifted to the floor-to-ceiling window. He sat on the chair, an icy aura emanating from him. "Do you think it's her fault too?"Kevin suddenly realized he might have said something he should not have. He lowered his head, "I dare not to.""Don't forget who you've been working for these past ten years!" Zach stood up from the chair and cast a cold, piercing gaze at him before turning around and walking away.Kevin suddenly spoke up when Zach reached the doorway, "I only work for you, sir."When Zach decided to bring Kevin by his side, Kevin's life became bound to his. He was the one w

Leyton said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arnold. We investigated all the vehicles that night. When we found the car, it was in a scrapyard, but the person was nowhere to be found. Moreover, we couldn't find any information about that person. It's as if someone deliberately concealed his identity. However, I don't think this was an accident."Ethan closed his eyes, "No need to investigate further. There's no point in wasting time on someone like this."Ethan's words held a deeper meaning, and Leyton felt he had been answered after hearing them.Madelyn followed Zach downstairs. The two of them remained silent along the way. At the entrance, Madelyn saw Jadie and Yvonne coming down.Yvonne walked up to Madelyn, "Are you okay? I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have contacted Mr. Newton. It's all because that bastard Danny misunderstood, it's got nothing to do with you. By the way, I also managed to get your test paper back from Mr. Newton. Madelyn, you're amazing!"She excitedly took the folded test pap

Alex said, "You helped her fend off the knife, but she didn't even appreciate it."As soon as he finished, a figure appeared in front of them. Seeing the comer, Alex sarcastically said, "Speak of the devil, and she appears."The three people still at the door watched as Madelyn abruptly left, and they had no idea what she was trying to do. Then, they saw her bowing and saying something, but they were too far away to hear it.Zach's gaze suddenly deepened, and everyone looked at Madelyn's actions in surprise."Thank you!" Madelyn's words were sincere. Then, she straightened up again. "I'm really sorry for not visiting you at the hospital all this time. Are you doing okay?"Caden scratched his head bashfully, "I'm fine. The doctor said the wound isn't deep, and a few days of rest will do."Alex cursed angrily, "Bullshit! Your intestines are practically out, and you're saying the wound isn't deep? And you, why are you coming over here pretending to care now? Get lost! Stop blocking
Chapter 221
During the last class, Madelyn left and went to the visitation room of the police station at 4:30 in the afternoon. Danny, who had his head shaved, was dressed in prison uniform and sat in the detention room. There was only a thin layer of glass between them. His eyes were lifeless and sunken.Madelyn had come alone secretly without Zach's knowledge. No one knew about it. She picked up the microphone hanging on the wall and pressed it against her ear. Danny did the same, but his gaze never met hers.After the police left, Madelyn said, "Don't worry. No one knows I'm here."Danny had gone through a calamity. Now, listening to her voice, his eyes turned fierce gradually, as if he wanted to devour her whole. He sneered, "Are you here to mock me? Are you satisfied now that you've see me like this? Madelyn, you're just relying on your family's wealth and power, but in reality, you're nothing!"You ruined me! It's all because of you! I wouldn't have done all this if it weren't for you! I

When Madelyn left, Danny received a nearly perfect test paper. He looked at the score and felt like he had fallen into a frozen waste, trembling uncontrollably.'I was wrong! I should've done just like what Madelyn said. I shouldn't have let my vanity lead me to desperately try to get into Ventrocloud High School and borrow from loan sharks. My stubborn actions caused my mother to die, and I've ruined everything now...'Danny clutched the test paper tightly, crying and wailing in the detention room. No matter what Danny did, he had to pay the price for his mistake. That was a fact.As Madelyn left the police station, the setting sun cast a lingering glow at the end of an old alley. At this moment, the snowflakes were beginning to fall from the sky.From the corner of her eye, Madelyn noticed Forrest leaning against the wall. He wore a black school uniform like hers, with one pant leg rolled up, revealing a section of his fair skin. He was carrying a bag on one shoulder and gazing a
