Chapter 103
The moment she heard that, Madeleine felt her whole body
tense up, as if her blood had frozen solid.
Rebecca’s voice was perfectly calm. “Madeleine, I don’t know
what you’ve discovered, or what connection you’re trying to find
between your amnesia and Zoe going insane, but I just want to
warn you.”
Madeleine’s heart leaped into her throat.
“Stay away from Edward. Go back to being your old,
unreasonable self.”
After hanging up, Madeleine leaned against the car, feeling
even colder.
Her mind was a tangled mess, but she struggled to pull a single
thread of thought from the chaos.
Zoe has gone crazy. Is it a side effect of her awakening?
She fell madly in love with Edward because she gave him his
first pot of gold to start his business and provided him with
information.

Then Zoe…
Madeleine’s eyelid twitched.
“Shaping the Persona…”
Madeleine mumbled the words, a shiver running through her.
If that’s the case, it all makes sense.
The result of that construction accident back then… the vice
president went to jail, Edward played the righteous hero by
punishing the real culprit, and he privately compensated the
victims‘ families…
It was all too perfect, like a performance.
And Zoe was the most crucial supporting character in this
performance.
She came seeking revenge, only to break down after
discovering the “truth.”
This was the perfect proof of Edward’s “integrity.”
A man who could even win over his avenger–who would ever
doubt his character?

“Heh…”
Madeleine let out a low laugh, but her eyes were ice–cold.
Right. If she were the author, she wouldn’t have made the main
character a completely worthless, ungrateful bastard either.
She would definitely go to great lengths to perfect the main
character’s Persona.
But why should innocent supporting characters like them have
to suffer just to build up the main character’s perfect Persona?
Zoe must have realized this too. She suddenly awakened, and
that’s why she lost her mind.
Madeleine’s heart was pounding. She saw Roderick, who had
just dropped Bradley off, walking towards her, and she felt
incredibly nervous.
No.
I can’t tell Roderick any of this.
At least not before I can verify it. If Roderick gets hit with the
“side effects,” whether it’s amnesia or going crazy, she couldn’t
accept it.
Chapter 103
Roderick deserved to have his own perfect life.
“What’s wrong?
Why are you looking at me like that?”
Roderick walked over with a smile, wiping his hands with a wet
wipe. He said with disgust, “Doctors… Bradley’s place reeks of
disinfectant.”
Madeleine looked at him, a mix of complex emotions flashing
through her. She temporarily buried her thoughts and forced a
smile.
“As long as he’s home, that’s what matters. Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Roderick nodded, thinking she was just tired.
“Home, and to bed.”
When the two arrived home, Roy came over and said Kevin was
already asleep.
Madeleine quietly opened the door to the kid’s room and went in to check. The little guy was sleeping peacefully, his breathing. long and even, and he was clutching a stuffed toy tightly in his

hand.
Madeleine looked at him and smiled.
She had bought the toy for Kev the other day. All the toys in this
kid’s room were either Legos or puzzles; he didn’t even have a
doll to hug while he slept.
When she complained to Roderick about it, Roderick had said
that Kevin didn’t like them.
Tch, what do you mean he doesn’t like them? Isn’t he hugging
this one happily?
When she came out, she saw the light in Roderick’s study was
