Chapter 221 If It Were Not For You
Ms. Moore, of course, was none other than Harriet.
“What is she doing here?”
Madelyn was slightly annoyed.
“Ms. Moore mentioned that she has some official matters to report,” Lydia said.
Sebastian didn’t even bother to raise an eyebrow as he did. “Let her in”
Lydia nodded, then went to usher Harriet in.
Finished
Harriet, clad in a professional suit, exuded an aura of cold arrogance that made her seem unapproachable at first glance.
Of course. Harriet knew that if it weren’t for Madelyn feeling unwell, Sebastian would not have chosen to work from home.
Upon entering. Harriet courteously greeted Madelyn first, “Ms. Thornton, I heard you’ve been feeling unwell. Are you feeling better now?”
How pretentious.
Madelyn sneered inwardly, then responded nonchalantly, “I’m much better. Thank you for your concern. But I wonder what pressing matter requires your personal visit to our home.”
The tone of Madelyn’s words made it blatantly clear that she did not welcome her.
Harriet’s expression subtly changed, but she held back her emotions and laughed. “Of course it’s something very important.”
“Really…” Madelyn uttered with a tone of disdain.
Harriet smiled generously, a hint of provocation in her gaze. “This matter is of utmost importance, a company secret that outsiders shouldn’t hear. So, I must kindly ask you to step out for a while. Ms. Thornton.”
What?
Outsiders? Did she just call me an outsider?
Madelyn instantly found herself a bit irked.
However, after giving it some thought, she had to admit Harriet’s position in Lockhart Group was indeed very high, so it was inevitable that she would know some secrets.
With a displeased pour, Madelyn reluctantly agreed to step aside.
After all, this was a matter concerning Lockhart Group, and Madelyn didn’t want to cause any trouble for Sebastian.
After stepping outside, Madelyn still felt a lingering sense of discontent.

What on earth does Harriet want to report that is so importa it
In my past life, did anything significant occur after Sebastian turned home, wounded from abroad?
I dont think so.
Madelyn racked her brains for a long time, but she couldn’t come up with anything.
Finished
She couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. After all, he reprehensible behavior in her past life was to
blame.
In her past life, every time an event related to Sebastian occurred, she had been utterly indifferent. She would even go out of her way to avoid it, fearing any potential association with Sebastian.
This led to her current predicament, where no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t make sense of it.
all.
However, regardless of whether she could recall or not, Madelyn felt that she must have overlooked something. Otherwise, Harriet wouldn’t have come over.
But unable to come up with anything. Madelyn had no choice but to temporarily give up.
Fortunately, Harriet and Sebastian’s conversation didn’t last long. After a short while, they came out.
When she came out, Harriet gave Madelyn a meaningful glance.
“I’ve said all there is to say. I’ll be going now,” she said with a smile.
Once she finished speaking, Harriet, donning her high heels, left with an air of arrogance.
Madelyn frowned in place.
Oddly enough, she felt there was some hidden implication in Harriet’s glance earlier.
That feeling was as if something had happened, and she was the only one left in the dark, clueless.
Am I overthinking it?
Madelyn shook her head, sighing. Oh, forget it.
The following day, Madelyn finally went to the university, and immediately, Jillian and Josiah came over to express their concern.
“Madelyn, are you all right? What exactly is bothering you?” Jillian sounded utterly worried.
Even though Josiah remained silent, his evidently concerned expression gave him away.
Madelyn felt a wave of warmth, gave a small smile, and said, “Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. I’m feeling much better now.”
“Are you sure?” Josiah asked at that moment.
Madelyn nodded. “Of course.”
Suddenly attack of crints was forcefully thrust into her agme

Josiah said bluntly. “Now that you’re recovered, I’ll be the script are yours. You better meinorize them quick!
Madelyn wore a look of utter confusion.
Finished
aightforward with you. The lines marked in red in We have to rehearse this afternoon.
What’s going on here? The flippant Josiah is actually so enthusiastic about a stage play?
“Hey, Josiah, don’t tell me you’ve decided to turn over new leaf now that you’re in this university. It’s just a stage play, yet you’re taking it so seriously. Am I dreaming? Are you really Josiah?” Madelyn was utterly taken aback by him. Unable to resist her doubt, she reached out to pinch his cheek.
Josiah was instantly infuriated. He promptly pushed her hand away. “You have the nerve to say that? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t give a d’m about this lousy stage play! I’m not someone they can just summon whenever they please…
Seeing Josiah was about to lose his temper again, Madelyn quickly tried to soothe him. “All right, all right, I get it. I’ll go memorize it right now.”
After saying that, Madelyn quickly grabbed the script and made a hasty exit
