With a dreadful cry, Kieran found himself sprawled on the ground, clutching his abdomen as he continued to wail in agony.
Suddenly, a stiletto heel dug into his chest.
Madelyn stood over him and looked at him condescendingly. Her tone seethed with unspoken fury. “Do you have the guts to repeat what you just said?”
Kieran felt as though his chest was about to shatter under the pressure. He didn’t dare to utter another word. In a frantic rush, he waved his hands in surrender. “I don’t dare! I promise I won’t do it again.”
“Hmph! Overestimating your own abilities.” Madelyn snorted coldly, “Let me tell you something. The kind of person I despise the most is someone like you. You look down on others. Considering the circumstances today, I’ll refrain from beating you up further. However, you better heed my warning. The members of the Thornton family aren’t to be messed with. Got it?”
Kieran’s face was strained as he nodded vigorously. “I’ve got it! I’ve got it… Please, I beg you, let me go. My bones are about to break.”
Upon hearing his words, Madelyn shot him a final glare before finally lifting her leg.
Unexpectedly, the moment she let her guard down, Kieran seized this opening to counterattack. He reached out with both hands, almost grabbing Madelyn.
“Madelyn!” Jillian watched from the side, her heart pounding with shock.
Taken aback, Madelyn quickly spun around, seizing Kieran’s shoulders. Without hesitation, she fiercely executed an over–the–shoulder throw.
“Ah!” Kieran let out another mournful wail.
However, this time, his wail was noticeably more intense than before.
That was because Madelyn had forcefully stepped on his wrist with her high heels. She had actually managed to fracture it
“Kieran, you really have some nerve. Madelyn’s anger was evidently escalating. “I’ve already warned you. Do you insist on overestimating your abilities? Are you asking for trouble?”
Onlookers were left utterly astounded. They hadn’t expected that Madelyn, who appeared to be a delicate woman, could exhibit such impressive skills.
However, this was, after all, a venue for a business gathering. Seeing a fight break out inevitably stirred at
sense of unease.
Thus, someone pulled out their phone, intending to call the police.
Yet, at that very moment, Sebastian appeared.

The guests nearby all knew this man was the CEO of Lockhart Group, Suddenly, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. Even the person who was about to call the police quietly put down their phone
As soon as Sebastian came over, he asked with a frosty demeanor, “What’s going on?”
He hadn’t expected that merely stepping away for a moment would lead to such an uncontrollable situation.
At that moment, Madelyn turned her gaze toward Sebastian, and her intense aura immediately retracted, transforming her into the embodiment of a delicate person. “Sebastian…”
However, the sight of the man wailing incessantly on the ground served as proof of Madelyn’s earlier brutality,
At that moment, Janessa was also filled with anticipation as she looked at Sebastian. She decided to strike first by playing the victim. “Sebastian, Madelyn just hit me… My face hurts so much. I know I’ve said some things that weren’t right, but Madelyn shouldn’t bully me…”
As she spoke, Janessa sniffled, seemingly on the verge of tears.
However, when everyone thought that Sebastian was about to lose his temper, he pulled Madelyn back to his side and tenderly took hold of her hand. “How could you personally involve yourself in such violent matters? Tell me, does your hand hurt?”
Madelyn was taken aback. She hadn’t expected this kind of reaction from Sebastian.
Madelyn then smiled and shook her head in a silly manner. “I’m okay. I don’t feel any pain at all.”
Not only was she not in pain, but she was also feeling blissful–because of his consolation.
After that, Sebastian looked sternly at Janessa on the ground. “Janessa, you’ve repeatedly made things difficult for Madelyn, and I’ve let it slide, giving you numerous chances. If you dare to bully her again in the future, I won’t let you off the hook.”
A jolt went through Janessa’s heart when she heard that.
Before she had a chance to react, Sebastian continued in his rty tone, “Considering today is a business gathering, I’ll let it slide. Whatever reason you have for causing a scene here. I’m giving you three seconds to leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Sebastian spoke in a chillingly detached tone. It wasn’t laced with evident anger, yet it sent shivers down the spine.
After he finished speaking, Sebastian continued to comfort Madelyn,
He reached out, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind her car. His tender and handsome demeanor was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
At that moment, watching the scene unfold, Janessa felt as if a thorn had been driven into her eye. D’mn it! How could this happen?
A wave of intense jealousy and anger surged within, along with an endless loathing

Janessa believed she was in no way inferior to Madelyn Why is it that even when Madelyn it so obstinate and wwendy, he’s still willingly protecting her? No! I can’t accept this!
However, by then, Janessa had finally come to a complete realization of a certain fact.
She finally came to the sobering realization that she would never truly have Sebastian in her life.
However, she refused to accept it.
For all these years, her heart had room only for Sebastian. Yet, in Sebastian’s heart, there had never been a place for her.
She was profoundly in love with him, but it was sadly unrequited.
In Sebastian’s eyes, it seemed as though Madelyn was the only person he could see. It seemed nothing else mattered.
Ha‘ With a despairing, cold smirk, Janessa picked herself up from the ground and turned to leave.
Yet, the moment Janessa turned around, her gaze suddenly became incredibly fierce. Well, since I can’t hat Sebastian, no one can have him! Madelyn shouldn’t even dream of getting him, either! Madelyn wants to oppose me. doesn’t she? In that case, I also won’t allow her to live a happy life! Since you two are so deeply in love, I might as well let you two die together! You two, just wait and see!
At that moment, as he watched Janessa walk away, Kieran quickly picked himself up from the ground, wincing in pain
As for Madelyn, he dared not provoke her again.
After all, Sebastian’s intimidating presence was so powerful that even if Kieran were exceptionally brave, he wouldn’t dare to confront Sebastian.
Everyone knew Lockhart Group was the top business tycoon in the city.
A wise man adapts to circumstances. Since I can’t afford to provoke him. I can still avoid him. Kieran picked himself up from the ground, promptly making a rather dejected exit.
