Chapter 150
After making it through the day, Madelyn’s cold had significantly improved by 5:30 p.m., except forsome dizziness and a stuffy nose. The one thing she was thankful for was that Hayson did not interferewith her school affairs.
Around 6:00 p.m., Madelyn finally left the school gate. There, she ran into Jadie and Kevin. Kevin hadsaid something to Jadie, after which Jadie got into the car. Kevin looked a bit. impatient, glancing at hiswristwatch from time to time, until he saw Madelyn. He walked over briskly, and Madelyn also walkedover to him.
“Kevin, is something up?” Madelyn asked. Kevin was a loyal follower of Zach. In her previous life, itwas Kevin who had handed her the divorce agreement.
“Jordan isn’t here, so Mr. Jardin ordered me to pick up Ms. White, and also give you a ride, Ms. Jent. Iremember that you’re in the same class as Ms. White.” Kevin paused, then asked, “Why are youleaving school so late?”novelbin
After so many years with Zach, Kevin was unflappable and always kept his emotions in check. Despiteknowing Zach’s schedule, Madelyn had still made the foolish mistake of trying to please his assistants.Reflecting on it now, she realized how foolish she had been. Madelyn believed Jordan did not have anyissues, but rather was intentionally sent away by Zach. ‘ What’s Zach’s purpose in doing that?’ shewondered. Regardless of Zach’s motives, she decided not to get in Kevin’s car.
Madelyn pursed her lips, and said lightly, “Zach asked you to pick up Jadie, not me. Don’t worry aboutme. I’ll take the bus home. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Kevin frowned slightly, reaching out to stop her. “Ms. Jent, Ventropolis isn’t safe these days. If anythinghappens to you alone, I can’t explain it to Mr. Jardin. Please get in the car.” His voice was serious,
allowing no argument.
Jadie was better than Madelyn in many ways. Kevin was annoyed by Madelyn’s temper, which had notchanged over the years. He would not have come to pick her up and wasted half an hour of his time if itwere not for Zach’s orders.
“Ms. Jent.”
A gentle voice came from nearby. Madelyn looked toward the sound and was surprised to see George,who came over with a kind and friendly smile.
George nodded as a greeting. “Long time no see, Ms. Jent.”
“Long time no see, George. What brings you here?”
George looked at Kevin. “Is this Kevin from Azure Corporation, Mr. Jardin’s assistant?”
Kevin was surprised that George knew him; of course, Kevin recognized George too. He was
the servant to the CEO of Arnold Corporation; they had briefly met in an elevator once. Kevin extendedhis hand politely. “Hello, I’m Kevin Harrison.”
George shook hands simply. “Hello.” He then let go of Kevin’s hand and looked at Madelyn. ” Ms. Jent,I may need a little bit of your time; Mr. Ethan has something to tell you.”
Kevin tried to say something, “But…”
George interrupted him, “Kevin, I’m talking to Ms. Jent.”
George was from the Arnold family, so he was very important naturally. Even when he smiled, his eyeslooked serious. Everyone knew that the Arnold family was important in Ventropolis. They were in
charge now. But it was unclear if Ethan could prevent the Arnold Corporation. from being taken over byZach.
Madelyn stepped forward and said confidently, “Kevin, you go ahead. I’ll be safe with George taking mehome.”
Kevin looked unhappy. “Alright, Ms. Jent, remember to get home early.”
George worked for Ethan, his every word and action representing Arnold Corporation. In this situation,Kevin could not possibly conflict with him.
George looked at Kevin with a serious look and then said to Madelyn, “Please, Ms. Jent.”
“Thank you.”
