At that moment, Jillian circled around, casting a worried glance at Madelyn. She was afraid the latter might have inadvertently hurt herself,

Madelyn nodded. “I’m fine.”

She then looked at her father with deep concern and asked, “Dad, are you okay?”

At this point, Derek had regained his composure. He nodded and said, “I’m fine. But we should really get home as soon as possible.”

Madelyn nodded, fully aware that she had stirred up trouble. She figured that if she stayed any longer, she probably wouldn’t be met with any pleasant expressions.

Thus, she helped Derek up with Jillian’s help, and the group returned home together.

Half an hour later, at the Thornton residence.

Jillian had returned with Madelyn. After parking the car outside, Sebastian also came in.

“Dad, please don’t believe a word that man said today,” Madelyn advised soothingly. “He was obviously making things up. Just pretend nothing happened.”

Derek, however, could only weakly shake his head. “Maddie, you don’t need to comfort me. Despite my advancing age. I’m far from senile. I can still discern the truth from the lies. There’s a saying that rings true there’s no smoke without fire. Regardless of whether Eunice was being used by others, she indeed harbored ill intentions toward us. This time, she was certainly in the wrong. At my age, I don’t have many wishes left. My hope now is for you to take over the company as soon as possible. I also hope that Eunice, while abroad. can reshape herself. That way, when she returns, she’ll be able to assist you in managing the company. There isn’t much more I desire in this lifetime. As long as you two sisters ar fe and sound, free from worries about food and clothing, and living a happy and fulfilled life, then a content.”

After hearing these words, Madelyn couldn’t help but feel moyed. “Dad, rest assured. I will take over the company as soon as possible so you can retire peacefully and enjoy your later years.”

Feeling comforted, Derek nodded and said, “I’m happy enough that you think that.”

At the end of the day, humans were emotional creatures, and as Jillian watched from the side, she suddenly felt a pang of sorrow.

Though Madelyn appeared to lead a glamorous life, wasn’t she, in reality, a pitiful soul?

Was there anyone who wasn’t struggling for survival, who wasn’t giving it their all?

Following that, Madelyn coaxed Dad upstairs, then took Jillian to the dressing room to change their clothes.

After changing their clothes, they got into Sebastian’s car and left together.

In the car.

“Hmph, of course I won’t just let it go!”

Madelyn huffed in annoyance, her conviction unwavering. “It was supposed to be a pleasant gathering. I was minding my own business, not interfering with Janessa and her group, but they just had to come and stir up trouble, even upsetting my father. How could I possibly tolerate that? If I don’t teach them a lesson this time, they might think the Thornton family is a pushover and easily manipulated. Who knows what kind of tricks they might use to bully us in the future? More importantly, it’s one thing to bully me, but how could they dare to target my father? He’s not a young man anymore, yet they deliberately targeted him. They must think I’m a pushover, huh? They’re gravely mistaken if they think they can push me around like that. Just you wait and see; I’ll make them pay!”

Madelyn spoke these words with an almost certain conviction.

Jillian nodded from the side, deciding it was best not to say anything more.

At that moment, Sebastian glanced at Madelyn through the rearview mirror. He noticed her face puffed up in indignation and anger. It seemed she was determined to deal with those two.

Since that was the case, it wouldn’t hurt for him to lend a hand.

The following day.

As soon as Madelyn arrived at the office, she immediately summoned Cyrus. “Cyrus, from today onward, 1 need you to keep a close eye on Jiminez Corporation. If they land any big deals, I want you to find a way to snatch it from them”

“This…” Cyrus said, clearly somewhat perplexed upon hearing this.

“What, do you not agree to my request?” Madelyn’s voice rose slightly.

Cyrus immediately lowered his head. “Ms. Thornton, you’re overthinking it. I’m just an assistant; how could I possibly have the authority to interfere with your decisions? I was just wondering why as we’ve always minded our own business, not interfering with Jiminez Corporation in a ay. Why did you suddenly decide to snatch their business away?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn responded with a cold, indifferent scoff. “They brought it upon

themselves!

However, Madelyn didn’t plan on explaining much about this matter. She simply said, “In any case, all you need to do is carry out the task I’ve entrusted you.

“Understood.” Cyrus obediently nodded in agreement,

“Oh, right…” Madelyn suddenly stopped Cyrus, adding, “Try not to let my father know about this. I’m worried he’ll accuse me of acting impulsively.”

Although Cyrus didn’t understand, he still nodded. “Got it.”

Following that Cyrus set out to handle the matter.

Madelyn sat in her seat, squinting her eyes. She mumbled to herself, “Janessa, you surely don’t think I’m the same old Madelyn, do you? Hmph… I’ll show you where you’ve gone wrong.”
