Chapter 250

After lunch, Madelyn spent time helping Forrest with his studies. She had noticed his

improvement in recent days.

He had prepared for the geography test ahead of time, following his notes, and had achieved arespectable score of 89. He lost a few points while analyzing the last two questions.

Humanities subjects were mostly about memorization, and they were quite straightforward and

not too hard for him.

His previous low grades were mainly because he wasn’t interested in studying. If he decided to

learn, Forrest could do even better than others.

At three in the afternoon, Madelyn went for her after-school lessons, while Forrest packed his

things and went back to school.

Upon entering his classroom, his attitude underwent an immediate shift. Swiftly, he pulled a

chair, nonchalantly flung his backpack onto his desk, and settled into the seat. With a relaxed air,

he extended his legs, letting them rest leisurely upon the desk’s surface. His uniform pants, a bitnovelbin

too loose, slid down to his calves, lending him a somewhat rebellious appearance.

“Timothy, where’s that guy?” Forrest asked.

Timothy walked up and put his hand on Forrest’s shoulder, saying, “You’re at it again! If you keep

bothering him like this, he’ll go crazy! Maybe you should stop. Madelyn is okay, right? Plus, he’s

not the reason she got suspended.”

Forrest shrugged off Timothy’s hand, making Timothy’s face freeze. Timothy controlled his

frustration, and Adrian took him aside, shaking his head at him.

“That guy doesn’t know his place.” Forrest stood up, looking agitated. He kicked the table angrily,

his gaze scanning the room where everyone had their heads down. “Listen up: I’m the only one

allowed to bully Madelyn. If anyone tries to spread rumors behind her back and I find out, I’ll take

them to the lake and make them realize their mistake!”

Forrest’s words were aimed at none other than Peter Reid, who intended to pay Madelyn to be with

him.

Even though Forrest wasn’t present at school during that time, it seemed as if he was privy to all thedetails concerning Madelyn. Peter found himself struggling under the weight of Forrest’s

1/3

The moment Forrest reappeared on school grounds, he unleashed his inner fury like an untamedbeast. Whether it was during class or not, he seized Peter with a single powerful grip, dragging himoutside. In an instant, a swift kick propelled Peter a staggering five meters away.

In a stroke of fortune, Timothy and Adrian managed to restrain Forrest’s rage. Peter was escorted tothe infirmary, where the school doctor reported minor abrasions and a slight concussion.

From that point onward, Peter chose to keep a low profile, avoiding eye contact even when he venturedto the restroom.

Then, almost unexpectedly, an unforeseen event shook the status quo. Peter collapsed within therestroom’s confines, witnessed by others. His urine was tinged with blood, leading him back to theinfirmary once more.

Whenever Forrest’s anger ignited, it seemed to rage uncontrollably. Just as he was departing. Timothyintercepted his path. “You bullied Madelyn back then, and I was involved too. If you’ve got balls, comeafter me!”

Forrest’s eyes darkened slightly. He spat out two words, “Get lost!” Brushing shoulders with Timothy, hestrode away.

Seeing Forrest like this, Timothy was filled with anger. “I saw through your feelings for Madelyn a longwhile back. Don’t forget what you said back then!”

Adrian intervened, asserting, “Enough! Cut it out!”

Forrest left without looking back.

Upon hearing that, everyone in the class looked at Jadie.

Jadie, however, remained unaffected, her focus locked onto her practice paper.

The classroom was no place for conversation with so many people around Recognizing this, Adriansteered Timothy toward the lakeside, where they could both find some respite.

Adrian’s voice was steady, “You feeling calmer now?”

Timothy stood with his hands on his hips, a lingering fury clinging to him, seeking a release.

“I just can’t wrap my head around it. He used to single out Madelyn, and then, out of the blue, he’s

changed. He’s become her defender. What Peter said was merely a jest. If we hadn’t shielded him,

puppy.”
