Chapter 150
After making it through the day, Madelyn’s cold had significantly improved by 5:30 p.m., except for some dizziness and a stuffy nose. The one thing she was thankful for was that Hayson did not interfere with her school affairs.
Around 6:00 p.m., Madelyn finally left the school gate. There, she ran into Jadie and Kevin. Kevin had said something to Jadie, after which Jadie got into the car. Kevin looked a bit. impatient, glancing at his wristwatch from time to time, until he saw Madelyn. He walked over briskly, and Madelyn also walked over to him.
“Kevin, is something up?” Madelyn asked. Kevin was a loyal follower of Zach. In her previous life, it was Kevin who had handed her the divorce agreement.
“Jordan isn’t here, so Mr. Jardin ordered me to pick up Ms. White, and also give you a ride, Ms. Jent. I remember that you’re in the same class as Ms. White.” Kevin paused, then asked, “Why are you leaving school so late?”
After so many years with Zach, Kevin was unflappable and always kept his emotions in check. Despite knowing Zach’s schedule, Madelyn had still made the foolish mistake of trying to please his assistants. Reflecting on it now, she realized how foolish she had been. Madelyn believed Jordan did not have any issues, but rather was intentionally sent away by Zach. ‘ What’s Zach’s purpose in doing that?’ she wondered. Regardless of Zach’s motives, she decided not to get in Kevin’s car.
Madelyn pursed her lips, and said lightly, “Zach asked you to pick up Jadie, not me. Don’t worry about me. I’ll take the bus home. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Kevin frowned slightly, reaching out to stop her. “Ms. Jent, Ventropolis isn’t safe these days. If anything happens to you alone, I can’t explain it to Mr. Jardin. Please get in the car.” His voice was serious, allowing no argument.
Jadie was better than Madelyn in many ways. Kevin was annoyed by Madelyn’s temper, which had not changed over the years. He would not have come to pick her up and wasted half an hour of his time if it were not for Zach’s orders.
“Ms. Jent.”
A gentle voice came from nearby. Madelyn looked toward the sound and was surprised to see George, who came over with a kind and friendly smile.
George nodded as a greeting. “Long time no see, Ms. Jent.”
“Long time no see, George. What brings you here?”
George looked at Kevin. “Is this Kevin from Azure Corporation, Mr. Jardin’s assistant?”
Kevin was surprised that George knew him; of course, Kevin recognized George too. He was
the servant to the CEO of Arnold Corporation; they had briefly met in an elevator once. Kevin extended his hand politely. “Hello, I’m Kevin Harrison.”
George shook hands simply. “Hello.” He then let go of Kevin’s hand and looked at Madelyn. ” Ms. Jent, I may need a little bit of your time; Mr. Ethan has something to tell you.”
Kevin tried to say something, “But…”
George interrupted him, “Kevin, I’m talking to Ms. Jent.”
