Chapter 401 Wish She Was Dead

“Ah…

Tristan suddenly sighed, feeling a deep sense of regret for Josiah.

Finished

Though Josiah didn’t voice his thoughts, as his buddy for many years, Tristan knew what he was thinking

about.

It was merely a case of an unrequited love.

In the end, Madelyn heard a soft voice overhead. “He’s about to leave. Perhaps you should talk to him a bit more. After this, you won’t get the chance.”

Her heart skipped a beat.

In reality, Madelyn could comprehend Josiah’s feelings.

It was just that she didn’t want to face it.

Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or the current one, Madelyn always considered Josiah her best friend.

It was merely limited to friendship.

The thought of Josiah leaving to join the military stirred mixed feelings in Madelyn. Rather than feeling reluctant to part with him, she was, in fact, more overwhelmed with happiness.

Seeing Josiah regain his spirit, Madelyn was extremely pleased, but that was all there was to it.

“Let him know that when he leaves, I’ll be there to see him off.”

Just

as Tristan was about to turn around and leave, those words suddenly echoed from behind him.

Turning his head, Madelyn still had a peaceful sleeping face, as if she had never said anything.

Tristan could only sigh softly, then caught up with Josiah, relaying Madelyn’s words to him.

“She said she’ll see you off when you leave.”

“Really?” Josiah’s tone unconsciously rose a notch, his previous melancholy seemingly vanishing into thin air in an instant.

Upon seeing the situation, Tristan felt quite helpless. “You have feelings for her. Why won’t you admit it?”

“I don’t.” Josiah instinctively denied.

“All right. Whatever you say. Buddy. I’m just giving you a piece of advice. Just don’t regret it next time.”

After speaking, Tristan didn’t say much else.

After all, matters of the heart were best left untouched, and he could only offer a few words of advice.

Due to her recent mishaps, Janessa didn’t dare to even lift her head during meal times, fearing that Rachel might suddenly reproach her.

Rachel glanced at her and shook her head helplessly without uttering a word.

After all, anything she said would be pointless.

At that moment, a young man sporting a sleek black suit with strikingly handsome features suddenly burst through the door.

“Madam, Ms. Sherritt,” Javier greeted as he entered, first acknowledging the two ladies.

Rachel gave him a cool glance. “Why are you back so early in the afternoon?”

Under normal circumstances, Javier would absolutely not return at noon.

At this point, Janessa anxiously looked at Javier. “Has something gone wrong?”

Javier replied coldly, “Yes.”

In an instant, Janessa met Rachel’s eyes, both of their gazes somewhat flustered.

Javier then said, “Madam, Ms. Sherritt, the police have completely shut down the clubs on the grounds of illegal activities.”

“D“min it! Why am I so unlucky?”

Upon hearing this news, Janessa was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth in anger.

With a clatter, Rachel abruptly dropped her fork onto the table, instantly losing all her appetite.

Following that, she thundered, “You are all useless! Janessa, those two clubs were the most profitable among all that I own. I specifically entrusted them to you, and now they’re just gone! Y–You’re going to be the death

of me!”

Rachel was fuming. Her anger was almost palpable, reaching up to the sky. She was so furious that s practically breathless as if she was about to explode in a puff of smoke.

Janessa felt a tingling sensation in her scalp from the scolding and couldn’t help but apologize profusely. “Aunt Rachel, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not managing those two clubs properly-

“What’s the point of apologizing now? If a simple apology could fix everything. I wouldn’t be here, furious beyond belief Janessa, you’ve truly disappointed me!” Rachel had never been this upset before. The thought of her money disappearing like a swiftly flowing river made her feel as if she was being physically cut. The pain was soʻraw and real.

Janessa didn’t know what to say, so she simply lowered her head in silence, letting Rachel rant without interruption.

After a while, the frantic breathing gradually subsided, and Rachel almost burst into laughter due to relief.

In the end, she looked at Janessa with disappointment. “You really need to take some time to reflect on your actions. Rupert has already driven you out of the Sherritt family, so I am your only support, If you
