Jadie had called her to give her a box of pills, saying Rosario had told her to pass them to Madelyn. Since it was not Rosario herself who was giving them to her, Madelyn did not dare eat them. Jadie was one of Zach's people, so who knew what kind of medication it really was?After Madelyn thanked her, she left with Yvonne to go to the canteen. Before Serena could talk to her, she had already left. Serena could not help but exclaim, "Madelyn’s truly getting more amazing. It'd be great if my results could be half as good as hers. My dad scolds me everyday, saying that me being her daughter makes him feel shameful whenever he goes out in public."Jadie lowered her gaze. No one knew what she was thinking about. She pulled the corner of her lips into a smirk and said, "Really? As long as you're willing to work hard, you can be just like Madelyn. You might even join Class Six."As usual, Madelyn still went to listen to Mr. Newton's class. She could not deny that Mr. Newton's teaching me
Zach's phone rang, and he stopped what he was doing. As soon as he took out his phone, the call cut off. He looked gloomy as he checked the missed call.At the police station, Madelyn immediately hung up the call that the policeman made. However, she did not know that the call had already been connected and rang for a few seconds on the man's phone.Madelyn, "Officer, it was just a joke between me and my classmates. Look, nothing serious happened to me! It's so late now, so there's no need to call my parents...""Just a joke? Would a joke between classmates end up with someone being injured by a knife?" The police officer looked at Madelyn's bandaged hand, "If they hadn't intervened in time, you'd have been in the hospital for emergency treatment now! This is a serious matter. We must call your parents to come and pick you up."And the rest of you! Don't think you guys are in the clear. You guys were just released not long ago, and now you're all back here again."A few people wer
Alex then told Madelyn the truth: it was Forrest who had saved her from the sea and not Zach.Madelyn knew how much Forrest hated her. He was always the first person who targeted her whenever she was bullied in school. If it was not for his actions, Madelyn would not have transferred to another class.She thought, 'If that's true, the strange things that Forrest said to me back then make sense now. No wonder…'After Alex left, only Madelyn and Danny were left.A female police officer came out of the detention room and called her in.Danny was in handcuffs sitting opposite her. The female police officer sternly said, "Why did you hurt her?!""It’s all because of her… It’s all her fault!" Danny was extremely furious suddenly. He looked like he wanted to kill Madelyn.The female police officer said, "Stop shouting! Sit down."Madelyn pretended to be calm as she looked at him. A hint of killing intent flashed upon her eyes."I know we haven’t talked to each other much, but if it w
"Okay. I'll go now."Margaret muttered to herself when she walked out, "What happened? She hasn’t looked well since last night, and she's so sick now. Oh my, I hope she didn't get herself into danger again."When she raised her head, she was frightened by someone who appeared out of nowhere, "Mr. Jardin, you came to see Ms. Jent? She's very sick. I'm going to get some hot-water bottles for her now.""What happened last night at the police station?" His tone was cold.Margaret nodded. She noticed his fierce attitude, so she did not dare to hide anything from him. She told him everything that happened last night.She said, "At eleven last night, Ms. Jent called. She asked me to pick her up without saying what happened. When I arrived, I saw that her hand was injured. When she got home, she was scolded by Mr. Jent and went upstairs to sleep. This morning, I was worried, so I came to see her, and she looked like this. I guessed she was probably frightened out of her mind."Zach, "Why
Madelyn woke up the next day from a nightmare. Her pajamas were soaked with sweat, and she felt extremely hot.Margaret brought a bowl of carrot ginger soup up, panting heavily. She was old, and it was not easy for her to climb five flights of stairs. She saw Madelyn, who had just woken up, sitting on the bed in a daze.Madelyn did not even notice Margaret had walked into the room. She only came back to her senses when she heard Margaret's voice."Ms. Jent, you've slept for a whole day. Drink this!"Madelyn's eyes were watery when she looked at Margaret, "Yesterday when the police came, what did they tell Dad?"Margaret responded, "I didn't understand much! But they said they'd definitely deal with that matter properly. And Mr. Jent won't let off the person who held a knife against you."Madelyn looked away. Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her bandaged hand. She knew what would happen to Danny.She thought, 'Hayson will surely make Danny pay a thousandfold, and Danny
Madelyn would have preferred to stay in school, but the school holidays were going to start next week.On the ground floor of the Grand Court, Madelyn saw Rosario and Jadie waiting for her.When the car stopped, Rosario hurriedly went forward to open the rear passenger door.As soon as Madelyn got out of the car, Rosario grabbed Madelyn's injured hand.She fussed over her, "Let me see. You poor child, how did you get injured again?!""I'm fine. It isn't painful at all. It's just a small bruise. It'll heal in a few days."Jadie approached her and said, "Madelyn, your room is ready, but we'll be sharing a room. I don't know if you'll like how I decorated it..." She warmly held Madelyn's wrist."Okay," Madelyn emotionlessly responded. Growing up, she had always lived alone in a room. She had never shared a room with anyone.When they arrived at the apartment, Jadie told her the door lock code. Upon entering Jadie's room, Madelyn saw there was an extra bed.The bedding was all pin
Seeing them studying so diligently, Rosario did not disturb them.At six-thirty in the evening, Jadie finally put her pen down and closed her book. She said, "Madelyn, Is... Mr. Jent pressuring you? Your family is well-off. You don't really need to work this hard."Madelyn's thoughts were interrupted. She stopped writing, "It's got nothing to do with my father. I set high standards for myself and try to work harder."She did not want to stop studying, wanting to avoid becoming ignorant and resorting to buying her qualifications with money like in her past life. She aimed to be independent like Cecilia so she would be able to support herself even after leaving the Jent family."I see! That's true. It's very stressful to be in Class One. Just remember not to push yourself too hard. I'll go and eat now. Don't stay here too long doing homework."Madelyn nodded.Not long after Jadie left the room, Madelyn finished the remaining half of the workbook and went out.Most of the dishes th
Zach, "I'm fine.""Don't drink so much next time. You know your stomach isn't in the best condition."Rosario finished cooking the hangover soup and quickly brought it over."Jadie, quickly feed it to Mr. Jardin."Madelyn just ignored what was happening outside of her room. She put on her headphones and listened to the Etlinish words while memorizing them.It was nine-thirty at night before Jadie finally returned to her room, exhausted. She then looked at Madelyn's phone that was charging on the bedside table. It had been ringing for a while.She said to Madelyn, "Madelyn, your phone's ringing."Madelyn did not react."Madelyn?"Jadie then walked over and looked at the incoming caller number on the screen. It consisted of repeated digits eight. Her eyes became gloomier. She then unplugged the phone from the charger and handed it to Madelyn.Madelyn took off her headphones. Jadie said, "Your phone.""Thank you." Madelyn stared at the incoming call. Shortly after, the call dis
