Chapter 400 Spotting Madelyn, Forrest hastily pushed Kayla away and reached for his shirt, trying toput it on.
Kayla frowned and looked displeased. “What are you doing here?”
Madelyn pursed her lips for a moment before replying, “This is the apartment I’m renting!” Her voicesounded calm, but you could tell she was already angry.
A hint of panic flickered in Forrest’s eyes as he began to explain.
However, Madelyn didn’t want to engage in further discussion or argument with them because she haddeveloped a slight headache on the way back, possibly due to catching a cold,
Chapter 400
Madelyn looked at Forrest with a weary expression. She didn’t know what to say to him. In the end, shesimply said, “Pack up your things. Don’t come here again.”
After saying that, she went back to her room. She found her room relatively clean, with no dust, as ifsomeone had cleaned it.
Without thinking much, she locked the door, dropped her backpack, and, without even changing herclothes, she lay on the bed under a blanket.
Outside the room, Forrest and Kayla seemed to have an argument. Madelyn had a headache anddidn’t want to get involved. She tried hard not to dwell on it. After a while, she fell into a restless sleep.
Around one o’clock in the early morning, the sound of brakes shattered the silence of the night, andEthan got out of the car. He saw that the living room lights in the mansion were still on.
Exhausted, Ethan walked into the hallway. A servant noticed him and asked in confusion, “Sir, isn’tMiss Jent with you?”
Ethan furrowed his brow. “She didn’t come back?” Suddenly, his heart sank
The servant hesitantly said, “No, sir. Miss Jent called the driver and said she wouldn’t be coming backtoday, that she would be staying somewhere else. I… I thought she was with you.”
Ethan had just returned from the hospital. He checked his phone. There were no missed calls orunread messages. He repeatedly dialed Madelyn’s number, but it wouldn’t go through.
A chilling and icy demeanor began to emanate from him. “Why didn’t you ask her in the first place? Ifsomething happens to her, every single one of you will be fired! What are you waiting for? Why haven’tyou sent someone to find her?”novelbin
“Yes, sir,” the servant replied, taken aback by the severity of Ethan’s anger.
After the servant left, Ethan’s body felt unsteady, and his leg, which had previously been giving himtrouble, seemed to act up again. He sat down on the couch, holding his head in his hands, a mix of fearand panic flooding his mind. He regretted, ‘I… should never have seen Donna. If Madelyn finds out, Idon’t know what I’ll do.‘
The bodyguards had searched all the nearby hotels and various nightlife spots around the school, butthere was no trace of Madelyn
Close to four o’clock in the early morning, Leyton poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front ofEthan. “We still haven’t been able to reach the Jent family, but we’ve sent someone over to inquire.Don’t worry; we should have news soon.”
As he spoke, Leyton received a message from the bodyguards. He hesitated, not sure how to breakthe news.
Ethan asked, “Did you find something?”
Leyton replied, “We’ve checked the Jent residence at Southern Haven Villas and Mr. Jardin’s place atGrand Court, but Miss Jent was nowhere to be found.” He wondered, ‘If she’s not at home, where couldshe be?‘
Upon hearing this news, Ethan felt a pang of self–blame. “Should I have not met Donna? MaybeMadelyn wouldn’t have gone missing like this! Did Donna see Madelyn when she returned?”
Leyton shook his head. “I’m not certain. Miss Jent is usually quite deliberate in her actions. Besides,she’s been aware of the situation between you and Miss Jolie for some time now.”
Ethan was taken aback. “When did she find out?”
Leyton explained, “It was back when you were still in the hospital. George mentioned Miss Jolie to MissJent, but he didn’t go into much detail. While Miss Jent may not know everything about your historywith Miss Jolie, if she did find out, she’d likely be understanding. Mr. Arnold, if you truly wanted to bewith Miss Jent, maybe you shouldn’t have gone to the hospital today.”
Ethan lowered his eyes, lost in thought. Deep inside, he wished Madelyn would sometimes act withoutthinking as it would make him feel like she cared. At times, he also questioned whether Madelyn hadtruly loved him.
