Chapter 73
The people listening on the sidelines seemed to have learned a shocking secret, and the atmospherein the conference room became ominous. Even Michelle could not believe her ears. “Don’t spewbaseless nonsense, Madelyn.”
Madelyn looked at her and everyone’s expressions indifferently.
Both the Lampreys and the Luperts did not dare to say a word.novelbin
“Would you like me to go into more detail?” Madelyn asked.
“Shut up! That’s enough! How dare you threaten me, Madelyn? How much did Hayson tell you?!” Mrs.Linney suddenly exclaimed.
“Oh God, it’s true!” Jenny said as she covered her mouth. Her mom also covered her mouth and shother a fierce glance.
The Linney family was more powerful than the other two of the three families present. They were justthere for support.
Michelle looked at the person beside her in disbelief and said, “Mom, why don’t I know about this? Is ittrue that a child died? How did you resolve this matter? Why would you drive while you were drunk,Mom? I… I don’t believe it… She must be lying…”
Michelle could not accept the fact that her mother, who loved her the most, had killed someone whiledriving under the influence. ‘It’s against the law!’ she thought.
Madelyn did not say a word. Instead, she turned to Jenny’s mother and said, “And you, Mrs. Lupert…Three years ago, your husband-
“Okay, Madelyn. That’s enough. I apologize for my daughter’s actions and behavior toward you,” Mrs.Lupert said as she took off her jade bracelet and stuffed it into Madelyn’s hand. Here. I’m sorry.”
“Sorry, everyone. We have to go. Jenny is not feeling well today, so I have to take her home.”
Jenny was then dragged away by her mother without knowing why. Her mind was blank. ‘Did
Mom and Dad…’
Mrs. Lamprey was terrified that Madelyn would start revealing her secrets after the Luperts left, so shesaid a few words and took Lorrie home. Before they left, she gave Madelyn her Patek Philippe watch.
“Mom, say something! Is what Madelyn said true?” Michelle questioned the person next to her with atrembling voice.
There was a cold look in the woman’s eyes with a hint of fear as she clenched her teeth and said, “Welldone, Madelyn.”
After that, she grabbed her purse and walked away in a daze.
Only three teachers were left in the conference room at that time. When the door closed, Madelyn letgo of the golf club in her hand and fell to the floor. She sobbed while she wiped her tears away, tryingto not let anyone hear her cries.
Kevin looked at the trembling girl and reached out, wanting to comfort her, but he did not.
‘Who knew that Madelyn, who has never been afraid of anything, would have a moment of weakness?’
That was the first time Kevin had seen Madelyn defend someone and cry.
‘And I thought she didn’t have a heart…’
