Chapter 252
Having learned from the previous lesson, Madelyn returned home before eight at night. Before
that, she also went to the hospital to get her stitches removed. Her wound was healing and hadscabbed over. It was prominent but thankfully it did not reopen just from minor pressure or
movement.
The atmosphere in the study of the Arnold residence was tense. Ethan was sitting at the desk. After thevideo conferencing ended, he lifted his eyes to look at the person standing in front of him, who wasdressed in an untidy school uniform. Ethan asked, “You haven’t been home these days. What’ve youbeen doing out there?”
“What else could I be doing? Don’t you already know?” Forrest tilted his head as he replied, reachinginto his pocket and fidgeting with the lighter inside.
Ethan lazily leaned back. He responded, “You’re right. Indeed, I do know everything that you do. I havepeople watching you, but not because you’re a threat to me. It’s just to keep you from causing metrouble out there. Do you really think you can do anything you want just because you’re from the Arnoldfamily?”
Ethan added, “When I was in the company today, I received a lawsuit from the legal department sayingyou were involved in bullying and fighting in the school…”
He then grabbed the document from the table and threw it directly in front of Forrest.
He continued, “I’ve been busy with work lately and haven’t been keeping an eye on you. I thought you’dbehave well, but you gave me such a big surprise, huh?”
Forrest smiled as he picked up the document from the floor. He responded, “It was just a joke betweenschoolmates. Brother, don’t listen to their one-sided story.”novelbin
He said the word “brother” very smoothly.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door. A beautiful woman in her thirties walked in,
carrying two glasses of milk and some pastries. “I noticed you’re still busy working, so I made yousome pastries. I’m not sure if they’re to your taste.”
Sylvia was a middle-aged woman, but she had taken excellent care of her skin, so she looked to be
in her early thirties at most. She had a gentle expression and the unique charm of a woman fromJadence. She had seductive, foxy eyes which Forrest had inherited.
The arrival of Sylvia made the unsettling atmosphere even more tense Ethan never hid his hatredtoward her.
“Who let you in? Get out!”
Sylvia did not lash back at Ethan Instead, she tenderly said, “Did Forrest do something wrong again?Forrest, kneel down and apologize to your brother, quick”
Forrest furrowed his brow and lowered his gaze before quietly looking at Sylvia, noticing there was ahint of pleading in his mother’s eyes.
Forrest licked his lips and gave a sarcastic laugh before kneeling down in front of Ethan
Sylvia turned around and said, “Ethan, Forrest has kneeled down. He knows he’s in the wrong He’s stillyoung and immature. Please forgive him this time
Ethan scoffed, “You two are indeed mother and son, both so used to kneeling down Looking at Forrest,he continued, “Since you like kneeling so much, get lost and kneel down outside You’re only allowed toget up once this matter is resolved”
Sylvia walked forward to support Forrest, “Forry, listen to your brother”
Forrest had not spoken a single word since Sylvia came in He stood up and immediately left the roomas Sylvia followed behind him.
After the study door was closed, Sylvia looked at Forrest with pity “Sorry I’m so useless and made youfeel like you were in the wrong.”
Forrest finally spoke, “It’s okay, just go back to your room. I’ll find a way to deal with this”
Sylvia assured him, “Don’t worry, Owen isn’t home today, so I’ll accompany you ”
“What can you do by staying here?”
Sylvia tried to respond, but instead had to cover her nose and mouth as she turned her head to theside and started coughing
“Have you taken your medicine?” Forrest asked, concerned.
Sylvia had suffered from asthma ever since the incident back then, but as long as she was careful,
it rarely flared back up.
“Don’t worry, I’ve taken it.”
