Afterward, Madelyn decisively pulled back..
Finished
The Jiminez family was overjoyed, hastily tidying up the mess, with no time to bother with anything else.
However, the uproar this incident caused throughout the city served as a wake–up call for many businesses.
It seemed that in the future, it would be best to avoid provoking Madelyn as much as possible.
Otherwise, they might become the next Jiminez family, and that would be a real disaster.
As for Janessa, she had naturally heard the news and, for a moment, she found it hard to process.
She hadn’t expected that Madelyn would actually make such a grand move against the Jiminez family!
Just when everyone thought the Jiminez family was on the brink of ruin, she unexpectedly pulled back.
From this action, it was clear that Madelyn’s original intention was not to ruin the Jiminez family
What on earth did she really want to do then?
Janessa was unawares.
The reasons behind this might have been unknown to others, but there was no way Ja
It was clear that Madelyn was going after Janessa in a roundabout way.
At this thought, Janessa was incredibly infuriated, so much so that her face nearly turned purple with anger.
It seems that Madelyn has indeed changed!
Janessa could vividly recall those early days when Madelyn was utterly clueless, essentially a naive fool who Janessa constantly manipulated.
But now, it was clear that Madelyn had learned to use cunning strategies against her, even striking with more ruthlessness than she ever did!
Not only that, but Janessa even speculated that the two clubs previously entrusted to her by Rachel had. gone bankrupt because of Madelyn!
After all, considering Cheryl’s less than bright nature, she really didn’t possess such capabilities.
Only with Madelyn strategizing for her behind the scenes was all of this possibly able to come together.
“Hmph, you wretch!”
Janessa couldn’t help but curse under her breath, her eyes narrowing in a sinister manner.
“Madelyn, don’t think I don’t know all these actions of yours are veiled warnings against me! What, you think I’ll be scared by this? No way! As long as I’m having a hard time, don’t even dream of living comfortably yourself! Even if I have to exhaust all my strategies, I will surely strip away everything you currently possess! Whether it’s your family, your love, or your friends, I will personally destroy them all! From this day forward, we are sworn enemies!”

After a tiring day. Madelyn dragged herself back home, only to be greeted by Sebastian, who promptly invited her to join him for dinner.
“How’s the Jiminez family doing now?”
As he asked that, Sebastian simultaneously served her food.
Madelyn chuckled. “They’re out of hot water now.”
After saying that, she glanced at Sebastian somewhat shyly. “But I must admit, I owe this success to you Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to take down the Jiminez family.”
Madelyn knew all too well that without the substantial assistance from Sebastian, it would have been virtually impossible to handle the Jiminez family.
Sebastian seemed unfazed, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. “Isn’t it only right for me to help my wife?”
Upon hearing these words, Madelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Sebastian asked, puzzled.
Madelyn waved him off with a beaming smile on her face, a hint of a blush tinting her cheeks.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I just feel that… you seem to be growing better at talking sweetly
“Is that so?” Sebastian smiled again.
Just as she was about to speak again, her phone suddenly began to ring.
Madelyn reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. Seeing that it was a call from Cheryl, she was somewhat puzzled, but she still answered it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone call connected, she heard.Cheryl’s frantic sobs. “Ms. Thornton, something terrible has happened to my family!” she cried out.
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn immediately put down her cutlery, her tone becoming noticeably anxious.
“What happened? Don’t panic, take it one sentence at a time, and explain it slowly!”
After hearing this, Cheryl nodded, attempting to calm herself down first before speaking. “Ms. Thornton, this morning, my father was still working perfectly fine. But in the afternoon, he suddenly collapsed and fell into a coma. We rushed him to the hospital, and after the doctors had done their examination, they informed us that my father was suffering from a severe illness. They also warned us that his life could be in danger.
As she spoke, Cheryl snillled and wiped away a tear. “But how could this be possible? My father has always been in excellent health, and he has a full–body check–up every year. He never had any health problems, so how could he suddenly fall seriously ill? Everyone at the company is on edge right now. There are even

At that moment, Cheryl was like a drowning person, desperately clinging onto Madelyn as her lifeline. yearning for salvation.
“Cheryl, just take a moment to calm down!”
Madelyn could understand Cheryl’s feelings and felt compelled to soothe her immediately.
“First, head to the hospital to check on your father’s condition. After all, it’s too early to say anything for certain. Perhaps your father just experienced a brief shock, and there’s nothing seriously wrong with him! As for the matter of your company, I’ll help you analyze it once we’ve established your father’s condition
Upon hearing these words, Cheryl felt as if she had been given a guiding light.
“All right, thank you, Ms. Thornton! I’ll do as you suggested. Then, I’m off to see my father.”
“Go on, quickly.”
Madelyn gave a nod, then ended the call.
“What’s wrong?
Sebastian cast a glance at her, feeling somewhat puzzled.
“It’s nothing.” Madelyn shook her head.
Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows, sensing that something was amiss.
Going by what Cheryl had said, how could her father suddenly fall seriously ill even though he was usmlly in good health?
It seemed it was necessary to go and see for herself.
With these thoughts in mind, Madelyn simply lost her appetite. She stood up, slipped on her coat, and left without finishing her meal.
*Sebastian, I have to step out for a bit. I’ll be back later,” she said.
Sebastian watched her retreating figure thoughtfully, shaking his head helplessly, yet he didn’t say a word.
After all, he knew Madelyn all too well. There was no stopping her from doing whatever she set her mind to
Hence, he simply let her be.
Before long, Madelyn arrived at the hospital.
Rupert was already lying in the ward.
Scarlet and her daughter Cheryl were seated beside the sickbed/both with red and swollen eyes. It was clear they had just been crying.
“Mrs. Sherritt, Cheryl…”
