“Of course,” Cheryl said with smug satisfaction. “I guess this trip wasn’t in vain after all. After what I said carlier, I doubt anyone would dare to criticize me again.”

Since the news of Janessa’s death spread, netizens stopped criticizing her.

However, the blame unexpectedly shifted onto Cheryl, with everyone labeling her as the indirect murderer.

The situation upset Cheryl quite a bit. Fortunately, the funeral held that day provided her with an opportunity to prove her innocence.

Sure enough, two hours later, the heart–wrenching speech made by Cheryl at the funeral was turned into a video and uploaded on the internet.

Seeing her self–reproach, the netizens didn’t have the heart to blame her any further.

The spiteful comments had all unanimously transformed into wishing the dead would rest in peace and that the living would stay strong.

Meanwhile, Rachel scoffed as she read such reports. Cheryl sure is impressive in her own way. To think she hijacked my plan to make everyone believe Janessa is dead and use it to her advantage. She’s quite the schemer, but then again, since Janessa is “dead,” there’s no point in dwelling on the matter.

At that moment, Madelyn, seated in Thornton Corporation’s office, saw the news about the funeral. An indescribable feeling welled up within her.

She couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong, but she felt a persistent unease in her heart.

In her previous life, it was she who had been harmed by Janessa, leading to her demise in prison.

However, in her current life, many things have turned upside down.

At that point, almost everything that had happened was entirely different from her previous life.

Her deep grudge had been avenged inexplicably, which meant, from then on, she was embarking on a brand new life, completely disconnected from her past life.

It should have been a cause for joy, but instead, Madelyn was filled with unease.

She kept feeling that something was off, even though she didn’t know why.

It was as if she had buttoned her shirt incorrectly, causing an uncomfortable feeling in her heart that she just couldn’t shake off.

For a moment, Madelyn was overwhelmed with anxiety.

In the end, just to be on the safe side, Madelyn took out her phone and called Septimus.

“Mr. Septimus, could you assist me once more?” Madelyn asked politely.

Septimus couldn’t help but chuckle. “Ms. Thornton, you’ve had me assist you countless times already.”

Septimus’s gentle smile morphed into a hearty laugh. “Ms. Thornton, you really do know how to push your luck, don’t you?”

Switching his phone to his other ear, Septimus continued, “All right, if there’s anything I can assist you with. feel free to tell me. However, you’ll owe me a meal for this later on.”

“Of course.” Madelyn chuckled. “Could you do me a favor and keep an eye on Janessa for me during this period?”

“Janessa? Isn’t she already dead?” Early in the morning, Septimus had seen the news about Janessa’s funeral.

As such, he was amused by her request.

“I know she’s already dead, but I still worry. So, please do it for me, all right?” Madelyn pleaded at that

moment..

“I understand.” Septimus seemed to grasp her intentions. “You want me to keep an eye on Janessa, just in case something goes wrong, for peace of mind, right?”

“Indeed.” Madelyn nodded.

“Very well!” Septimus agreed at once, then added with a hint of jest, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on Janessa’s ashes so she doesn’t come back to life, all right?”

Upon hearing that, Madelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter before abruptly ending the call.

However, with the assistance of Septimus, she felt considerably more at ease. Finally, she was able to feel a sense of relief in her heart.

After that, Madelyn glanced at the time and realized it was late, so she tidied up her things and left work.

Ten minutes later, at Lockhart Group.

After finishing her work, Madelyn went to find Sebastian, as he usually finished work later than she did.

Moreover, Sebastian had a habit of working overtime for half an hour, so whenever Madelyn came, he was almost always there. It had become something of a rule.

Sure enough, as soon as Madelyn stepped into the office, she saw Sebastian.

However, Sebastian had already shut down his computer, and all the documents on his desk were neatly organized. It seemed as if he was preparing to end his workday.

“Sebastian, are you leaving work now?” Madelyn asked, a puzzled look in her eyes.

She thought to herself, based on past patterns, Sebastian wouldn’t usually leave work that early, so she wondered if something had happened.

At that moment, Sebastian raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. “Grandma just called. She wants us to come home for dinner now.”
