Lives might be at stake….
Madelyn’s face turned pale when she heard that..
Finished
Grimo noticed her panic and quickly struck while the iron was hot. “However, you can save their lives, don’t you?”
“What does that mean?” Madelyn was taken aback.
“It’s quite simple. I remember you telling me about your superpowers. If you could collaborate with me to take down Hellfire Creed, then…
Before Grimo could even finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Madelyn, “Impossible.”
“Why?” Grimo retorted, a hint of anger laced in his tone.
Madelyn, however, said resolutely, “I do want to help, but regarding this matter, I really can’t do anything.”
In truth, the situation had indeed escalated far beyond Madelyn’s imagination. She desperately wanted to resctie Sebastian from his dire straits, but she was truly helpless.
“Even if I do have supernatural powers, it’s not something I could use all the time. Besides, I’ve told you before: predicting the future is hit or miss. I really can’t control it,” Madelyn said.
Moreover, the most crucial thing was that she genuinely couldn’t recall if this event had occurred in her previous life. No matter how hard she tried to remember, her memory remained as blank as a sheet of
paper.
No, wait!
Suddenly, Madelyn remembered. Around this time in Her past life, Sebastian had indeed mysteriously disappeared for an entire month. There was no news of him, as if he had vanished from the face of the carth.
Back then, although Madelyn tried to avoid Sebastian as much as she could, he would still be there for her whenever she needed him, shielding her from harm.
Yet, at that time, he really did vanish for an entire month.
It was also within that month that disparaging rumors about Madelyn began to circulate throughout the Lockhart family and even the entire upper–class society.
Madelyn couldn’t recall what those rumors were about it was as if her memory had been locked away. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t retrieve the password to her past.
However, she vaguely remembered that those rumors seemed to be related to Harriet. If her memory. served her right, many people praised Harriet for her all–around excellence, believing that Sebastian and Harriet were the perfect match. If they could be together, that would be a match made in heaven.
However, at that time, Sebastian seemed to be indifferent to these rumors, treating Madelyn as kindly as he always did. However, Madelyn was annoyed. She felt that Sebastian, who fished off the company pier himself, was in no place to be kind to her or discipline Her

And so, she pushed Sebastian away once again.
“Madelyn?” Grimo noticed Madelyn was completely lost in thought and called out.
She suddenly snapped back to reality, her gaze somewhat frantic.
“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” Grimo akkerl, looking puzzled.
Finished
“It’s nothing.” She immediately shook her head, but she couldn’t help but wonder could this incident be related to those rumors from her past life.
Judging by the time Sebastian disappeared, it did indeed seem to line up. However, as for what exactly transpired, Madelyn hadn’t personally experienced it in her previous life, so she had no idea.
Moreover, this incident was not as simple as matters of the heart. It was far more complex. Several organizations were involved in the mix. At this point in her previous life, Madelyn was still an ignorant good–for–nothing, so naturally, she was wholly unaware of the details.
Looks like I’ll have to adapt according to the circumstances in this situation.
Madelyn finally managed to pull herself back to reality after getting lost in a whirlwind of pointless thoughts. Unsure of what to say next, she could only turn to Grimo and say, “If you believe I can be of help, then please share some clues with me. I’ll give it a try. If I can’t be of assistance, I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
Of course, Grimo wouldn’t blame her. He understood that such matters were fated and if it was meant to be, it would be. If not, then so be it. Thus, he agreed, “All you need to do is try your best. Leave the rest to
me
“Okay.” Madelyn nodded.
Then, unexpectedly, Grimo suggested, “What if I move into the room next to yours?”
“Huh?”
Grimo suddenly smiled, his face strikingly handsome. Since we’re working together, being closer to you makes things easier, doesn’t it?” he said.
“You… Could you act normal for once?” Madelyn was utterly speechless.
“I’m acting perfectly normal,” Grimo said with a mischievous grin. “I was merely talking about our collaboration. What were you thinking?”
Madelyn swallowed hard, rolling her eyes. “Enough with the nonsense. Get out of here now!” she demanded.
Grimo finally stopped teasing her when he was asked to leave. Maintaining a charming smile, he said, “All right, I’ll stop teasing you now. It’s getting late. You should get some rest.”
After he finished speaking, he strode out of her room.
She quickly stepped forward to close the door, then took a deep breath..
”
Collaborating with Grimo doesn’t seem like a bad idea after all My plan of seeking Phantom’s help didn’t work out, and conveniently, Grimo has plenty of people under his commend. He could totally lend a hand, couldn’t he?

With this in mind, Madelyn finally sighed in relief.
She collapsed back onto the bed, yet found herself unable to get any sleep..
Finished
Images kept flashing in her mind. Every moment she shared with Sebastian, every single faint smile of his. and every time he tenderly cared for her….
With those memories filling her mind coupled with the fact that Sebastian was now missing, Madelyn felt a pang squeezing her heart.
Don’t worry, Sebastian. I’ll find you no matter what. I promise
On Madelyn’s third day in Rodunst, Grimo came to her room not long after she woke up. She couldn’t help feeling startled seeing the man’s green eyes so carly in the morning.
“How come your eyes are green?” she asked casually.
“I’m mixed–race. Have you never seen one before?” Grimo responded nonchalantly, before contin “You can rest in your room for the next couple of days Leave the task of gathering information to us
“Actually. I was thinking the same thing. Madelyn chuckled, pleased that she got to slack off
Grimo found her rather endearing.
In the evening. Grimo and Madelyn were bored, so they decided to play chess in the hotel lobby.
Just then, a towering figure with a robust physique suddenly dashed through the door, standing firm in front of the pair.
“Boss, I’ve got news on the matter you asked me to look into,” Adelar reported, standing squarely in front
of the two.
Madelyn and Grimo’s expressions tensed simultaneously.
