Chapter 316 She Is Captivated

Later on, after finishing his work, Sebastian rushed over immediately. When he entered the ward, he found Madelyn had already fallen asleep by Derek’s bedside.
At that moment, a noise from nearby startled Madelyn, causing her to jolt awake and open her eyes.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Sebastian, Madelyn let out a sigh of relief. “Sebastian, it’s you.”
Her tone and expression unmistakably conveyed her exhaustion.
Seeing her like this, Sebastian couldn’t bear it in his heart, so he had no choice but to ask, “How is Dad doing?
Madelyn responded gravely, “The doctor mentioned that Dad had a temporary cardiac shock due to severe emotional distress. We’re fortunate we got him to the hospital in time, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable…”
Upon hearing her words, Sebastian immediately stepped forward, gently cradling the young girl’s head in his chest. His voice was soft and soothing. “Don’t worry. At least everything is fine now, isn’t it?”
“Yes” Madelyn nodded.
Despite this, she couldn’t shake off a sense of self–reproach. “Sebastian, do you think I made a mistake?”
With her big, watery eyes filled with sorrow, Madelyn looked pitifully at Sebastian. She was filled with regret as she said, “If I hadn’t told Dad about those things, would he not have fallen ill?”
“Don’t think like that. It isn’t your fault.”
Sebastian gently stroked her head, his voice steady, carrying a calming, almost magical reassurance.
“Dad was bound to find out about this situation one day. It was just a matter of sooner or later. It’s better to get the pain over with rather than prolong the agony. Letting him know now would save him from greater sorrow in the future.”
Upon hearing those words, Madelyn finally felt somewhat better.
Meanwhile, Eunice, having run out of her house with nowhere to go, found herself aimlessly wandering the streets, grumbling all the while.
She never imagined that Madelyn would expose her plan to increase Derek’s medication dosage.
D’mn it! How did Madelyn, that despicable woman, find out about this? When did she start investigating the medication? Why was I completely oblivious to all of this? Looking back, it seems that I can no longer return to that home. However, I’m not satisfied! Madelyn, you despicable woman! May you meet a terrible end! I wish you’d meet your end stepping out of the house, choke on water, or suffocate on food. Even a simple walk could be your downfall. You’re such an annoyance! Why can’t you just disappear already? The more Eunice thought about it, the angrier she became. Just then, she happened to pass by an exclusive club.
With nowhere else to go, Eunice decided to just go in. After ordering several glasses of whiskey in one go, she fearlessly started downing them, one after another.

Even though Regina was no longer by her side, Eunice always kept her instructions in mind. She would never easily hand over Thornton Corporation to Madelyn,
What should I do notel Eunice took a hand look at herself, realizing she had no bargaining chips at hand. The idea of reclaiming Thornton Corporation was nothing more than an unrealistic expectation. What if I find a strong backer However, who can / wly out
With that in mind, Eunice found herself aimlessly scanning the interior of the club. After all, this is an enclove club frequented by scions, that if I can snag a rich man here? Won’t be set for the rest of my life? Argh… How am I supposed to snag a rich mant
Eunice clearly became even more distressed when she thought about that.
Meanwhile, on the second floor. Janessa and Hayden were chatting, seated in the corridor. They occasionally burst into laughter, their interaction seeming rather flirtatious.
In reality, ever since returning from Felix’s birthday banquet, Janessa had been diligently maintaining contact with Hayden.
Because of this, the relationship between the two gradually grew closer.
Gradually, even the group of young gentlemen around Hayden came to know Janessa. They all got along famously.
Throughout their conversation, Janessa would occasionally turn her head to laugh. It was during one of these moments that she caught sight of Eunice sitting at the bar. Oh? Isn’t that Madelyn’s sister, Eunice?
The recent controversy that had erupted within Thornton Corporation was something Janessa had come to fully understand through Javier’s explanation.
At that moment, Janessa noticed Eunice sitting alone, looking lost and desolate. She couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart, and an idea began to form. Given the current circumstances, Eunice should be all alone with no one to rely on, right? Could it mean that if I were to lend a hand to Eunice at her weakest, I could potentially make use of her? When the time comes, with Eunice’s collaboration, dealing with Madelyn should become much easier, right?
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Janessa’s mouth when she thought about that. She then leaned in, whispering the matter into Hayden’s ear.
Hearing her words, Hayden couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly called over a buddy standing nearby and asked, “Kieran, do you see that woman downstairs?”
Upon hearing that question, a spirited, tall boy glanced down, casually remarking. “I see her. She looks pretty average to me.”
“Yeah, she’s not much of a looker, but I need you to win her over for me because I have a use for her,” Hayden ordered without mincing his words.

Upon hearing this, Kieran Jiminez didn’t refuse. His tone was rather nonchalant as he said, “In that
owe me a favor”
With that, he immediately went downstairs.
“Can he manage?” Janessa asked, her voice laced with worry at that moment.

The rest of Hayden’s friends also wore amused expressions, showing their complete trust in Kieran.

In reality, Kieran hailed from a prestigious family and was renowned as a rich and spoiled brat. He and Hayden were close buddies.
However, Kieran and Hayden were vastly different. The former’s sole hobby was toying with the feelings of women. There wasn‘
a woman in the world that Kieran couldn’t charm.
At that moment, a sudden commotion erupted from downstairs.
Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn over.
Subsequently, Janessa saw a few of Kieran’s buddies pretending to be hooligans, harassing Eunice. It was clear that Eunice was terrified, her hands and feet in disarray, consumed by panic.
Just at this crucial moment. Kieran appeared, almost like a divine intervention. He bravely fought off those hooligans.
After that, Kieran assertively swept Eunice, with her petite figure, directly into his arms, holding her tightly. His voice was so captivating, it was deeply moving. “Don’t be afraid. I am here.”
After all, Eunice was still quite young and what she couldn’t resist the most were those scenes of a hero saving the damsel in distress.
Therefore, as she gazed upon the handsome and charming man before her, she was instantly captivated.
Janessa and Hayden watched the scene unfold before them, an amused smile playing on their lips. They couldn’t help but feel impressed by Kieran’s actions.
