Kieran was deeply shocked. Only now did he truly realize that he had managed to offend the King of Hell Jimself!
Our company is already in shambles. If you don’t apologize, our downfall will be inevitable sooner or later…
At this point in the conversation, William’s anger suddenly dissipated. He even looked at his own son with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
“Kieran, I’ve dominated the business world for many years without ever begging anyone before. But now, I’m begging you, can you please help me?”
“Dad…” Kieran suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
In his memory, his father had always been a figure of authority and grandeur.
At the company, all the employees held him in high regard.
Within the family, the members held an unparalleled respect for him as well.
But now, this man, who was so great and remarkable, had actually bowed his head to him.
From this, it was evident that the situation at the company had indeed escalated to a point of irreparable damage.
Even if Kieran was known to be a bit of a rogue, there was no way he c father’s company go under.

After all, if that happened, not only would the family be brought to ruin, but his lavish lifestyle would also come to an abrupt end..
The mere thought of possibly having to live a frugal life like a pauper in the future nearly blew Kieran’s
mind.
Thus, without hesitation, he nodded. “All right, I agree. I’ll go with you to apologize.
Upon hearing these words, William’s face lit up with joy. He gave a hearty pat on Kieran’s shoulder and said. “That’s my good son.”
Following that, the two of them prepared to drive to Thornton Corporation, intending to apologize to Madelyn.
Meanwhile, Madelyn was seated in her office, celebrating with Jillian over a glass of juice.
“Madelyn, you really are amazing! By now, Jiminez Corporation must be struggling badly, right?”
Jillian spoke with a radiant smile, utterly awestruck by Madelyn.

The underlying message was that Madelyn didn’t actually intend to target Kieran

Nonetheless, she had to make him understand that it was wise to recognize the situation and align oneself accordingly. The last thing he needed was to find himself on the wrong side.
Who Kieran associated with had nothing to do with her, but if he wanted to get involved with Janessa, ir would essentially mean crossing Madelyn’s line.
After all. Madelyn remembered clearly how Janessa had ruthlessly plotted against her in her previous life. step by step, until she was tormented to a tragic death.
And so, in this life, Madelyn was determined to return all the torment she had endured
Back then, Janessa had schemed to bring Madelyn down, clandestinely dismantling all the support she had relied on. As a result, her friends had also suffered unfortunate fates, one by one.
Now, Madelyn had given Janessa a taste of her own medicine- she had completely dismantled all of Janessa’s support systems.
In this way, Janessa was able to fully experience the feeling of isolation Madelyn had felt before.
With this in mind, a smirk tugged at the corners of Madelyn’s mouth, a hint of icy derision surfacing.
Jillian watched from the side, raising no objections.
She knew that while Madelyn was kind, she wasn’t so kind as to become a pushover.
Madelyn was a woman of clear distinctions, one who would assuredly seek retribution if wronged. She was definitely not all bark and no bite.
Jillian felt that this was absolutely wonderful.
At the very least, this way, Madelyn could protect herself, preventing herself from being bullied.
While the two were engrossed in their conversation, Cyrus suddenly knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Madelyn called out, and Cyrus pushed the door open to enter.
“What is it?” Madelyn gave him a puzzled look.
Cyrus reported, “Ms. Thornton, a moment ago, two individuals arrived at the company’s building. They stated their intention to specifically pay you a visit
“Oh?” With a twinkle of interest in her eyes, Madelyn chuckled and asked, “Who are they?”
“They didn’t say, but if I were to guess, they must be from Jiminez Corporation,” Cyrus responded.
“Really? Let me take a look.”
Madelyn spoke, then rose from her seat. She exited the office and glanced down from the upper floor realizing it was none other than William and Kieran.
“Heb so it really is the two of them. huh?”

“Why are they looking for you? Are they here to cause trouble?” Jillian was quite puzzled.

Madelyn chuckled lightly, “Probably not. Given the current state of their company, I doubt they have the guts for that”
“Then why?”
“If I’m not mistaken, they’re probably here to discuss this matter with me.”
“Are you planning to negotiate with them?”
Madelyn almost immediately shot down the suggestion, “No. Why would I want to see them when they re barely holding up themselves? Am I supposed to just sit there and listen to their pleas for mercy? Ha, I’m certainly not that saintly.”
“You’re right,” After hearing this, Jillian nodded thoughtfully.
“Should I go and turn them down then, Ms. Thornton?” Cyrus inquired.
Madelyn gave a slight nod. “Go ahead.”
Cyrus nodded, then went on to carry out the task as instructed.
Meanwhile, Derek unexpectedly approached from behind.
After roughly understanding the situation, he couldn’t help but ask. “Maddie, is this really the right thing to
do
When Madelyn looked back and saw her father, she smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Dad. Everything will be fine.”
“That’s the problem. I can’t stop worrying.” Derek said, his words laden with a heavy sigh. “All along, the Jiminez family’s power has always been on par with ours. Even though they’re currently in a bind, it’s important to remember that even at their weakest, they’re still formidable
When it came down to it, Derek was still worried that Madelyn had gone too far.
After all, desperate people were willing to do anything and would take drastic measures.
Madelyn, of course, understood what her father was worried about, so she gently reassured him, “Dad. there’s no need for concern. I’ve got this situation under control. Even if we can’t take down the Jiminez family this time, it’s still worth it if we can use this opportunity to deal them a significant blow. This way, they won’t be so arrogant and dismissive of us in the future.”
Upon hearing these words, Derek understood that his daughter was merely intending to give the Jiminez family a hard time, not to ruthlessly annihilate them. Thus, he nodded in relief.
“All right. No matter what you do, I will always support you. But if you ever run into any problems. remember to tell me as soon as possible. Don’t try to shoulder everything on your own.
Madelyn obediently nodded her head,
Seeing that the lesson had been sufficiently imparted this time, she decided to stop there.
