Chapter 219

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’tfind any information about that person. It’s as if someone deliberately concealed his identity. However, Idon’t think this was an accident.”

Ethan closed his eyes, “No need to investigate further. There’s no point in wasting time on someonelike 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’sall because that bastard Danny misunderstood, it’s got nothing to do with you. By I also managed to getyour test paper back from Mr. Newton. Madelyn, you’re

the

way, amazing!”

She excitedly took the folded test paper from her pocket, “Did you know you ranked second in theexam? Oh my god! Madelyn, you’re really incredible.”

Madelyn stared at the test paper in a daze and was struck speechless. ‘So I managed to get into theMath Olympiad training class on my own merit. It wasn’t because of Yvonne’s help after all.

After learning this news, Madelyn felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. “T -Thankyou.”novelbin

“Besides…” Yvonne nudged Madelyn with her elbow and chuckled, “My brother said not to burdenyourself with this. Danny has a mental illness, and his mother was in the advanced stages of kidneydisease. Even if his mother had money for treatment, she couldn’t have survived the surgery. Madelyn,it’s not your fault. Because of this, my brother punished me too. He asked me to copy the ‘I Have aDream’ speech three hundred times.”

“Really?”

‘Why does she feel so happy about being punished?’ Madelyn wondered.

“Yes! It’s the second thing my brother told me, so I was still happy despite being punished,” saidYvonne.

Jadie said, “I’m glad that you’re fine. Zach, is Danny getting imprisoned?”

Zach answered, “It’s close. We have to wait for the court’s verdict.”

He pondered to himself, ‘Six years? Ten years? That’s nothing. With Ethan Arnold and I

involved, Danny could be looking at a life sentence. At first, they aggressively demanded fifty thousanddollars, but not only did they fail to receive a single cent, they even ended up losing everything theyowned. After realizing they had provoked someone they shouldn’t have, they fled with their tail betweentheir legs. They came looking for money, but they picked the wrong target.’

Suddenly, Madelyn noticed a group of familiar figures ahead. One of them had red hair, and anotherhad green hair, making them stand out. Forrest was among them too.

‘They’re less wild than I remember,’ Madelyn thought.

There was a man seated in a wheelchair while someone pushed him along. Madelyn recognized himas the one Alex called Caden. He was only sixteen, an orphan who had grown up in the FishingVillage. His upbringing had involved the care and support of many, allowing him to reach this age.

Back then, when Danny’s knife had been at her throat, he had rushed forward and tightly grippedDanny’s hand, giving her a chance to escape.

Alex smacked Caden’s head, “Damn! I told you not to come over, but you insisted. Look, it wasn’t worththe effort! Not only were you not compensated, but they didn’t even bother sparing a glance at you.”

“Alex, it’s okay as long as she’s fine. This injury won’t kill me.”

Caden had lived with Alex’s family since childhood, so Caden was like his younger brother.

Thinking about the heartless Madelyn, Alex could not help but become furious.

‘Ever since Caden was hospitalized, Madelyn hasn’t visited him even once. She didn’t even bother tosay a simple “thank you.” It would’ve been better if Caden had just let her die.’
