“What are you two doing here?” Kieran asked with a smile, feigning surprise upon seeing them.
In reality, this was all planned.
Janessa, too, feigned surprise as she looked at Eunice. “Aren’t you Madelyn’s younger sister?”
Eunice was astonished as well. “You are… Janessa?”
“Do you two know each other?” Kieran asked, continuing to act shocked.

Janessa chuckled. “Of course. She’s the younger sister of my old friend, Madelyn. Her name is Eunice
With that, she pretentiously expressed concern. “I heard that there have been some major changes in the Thomton family recently. Is it true that your mother was driven out of the Thornton family?”
Eunice’s face darkened in an instant.
She was consumed by anger every time this matter was brought up. “It’s all thanks to my despicable sister! If not for her, my life would have been perfectly fine!” she snapped.
Turning to Janessa, she growled. “You’re a friend of that despicable woman, aren’t you? I’m warning you.
mentioning her name. If you dare to bring her up again, we’ll be at odds!”

Janessa smiled and quickly clarified, “You’ve misunderstood, Eunice. I was indeed friends with Madelyn in the past, but since she betrayed me, she’s become my enemy. And believe me, my resentment toward her is no less than yours.”
“Really?” Eunice couldn’t help but cast a doubtful glance at Janessa.
“Of course,” she said, smiling. “But I really didn’t expect you to be with Kieran. Since Kieran is Hayden and my good friend, that means you’re now our friend, too. How about we join forces to deal with that despicable Madelyn in the future?”
Eunice was taken aback, clearly hesitating.
Janessa seemed overly enthusiastic, so much so that she couldn’t help but question her motives.
“Kieran, why aren’t you saying anything?” At that moment, Janessa gave Kieran a knowing glance.
Kieran grasped her meaning and promptly planted a soft kiss on Eunice’s earlobe, reassuring her, “Sweetheart, we’re all friends here, don’t worry.”
Eunice melted, her resolve wavering. Bewitched by Kieran, she nodded in agreement.
Madelyn was completely oblivious to the fact that a group of sinister individuals had conspired together.
Her life continued as usual.
The next day, she bought some supplements before visiting Fiona in the hospital.
Fiona’s health had significantly improved. Upon seeing Madelyn, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ms.

She paused and said helplessly. “But we must do something about this. If Nathan doesn’t change his ways. you and Jillian’s lives will never be peaceful”
Her words made sense, prompting the others to nod in agreement.
“But Nathan has always been like this. Trying to change him is like asking a drug addict to quit. It’s not that casy!” Jillian said sadly,
As Nathan’s older sister, she was heartbroken to see her brother being such a good–for–nothing.
Madelyn understood her feelings and immediately patted her shoulder in consolation. “Jillian, don’t worry. This time, he’ll have to change, whether he wants to or not!
supposed to live with him causing trouble every few day therwise, how are you and your mom
Madelyn then turned to Tristan. Tristan, what do you think we should do?”
Tristan was quite displeased with Nathan, huffing in anger. “I think the best solution is to capture that rascal and give him a serious lesson to make him realize his mistake!”
Madelyn smiled. “What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing.”
Nathan needs discipline. However, no one had ever been able to keep him in check, which was why he got involved with bad influence and became increasingly unruly!
“But, we have no idea where he is. And even if we do find him, how are we supposed to discipline him? He’s been out in the world for several years and seen his fair share of things. Ordinary fights and threats won’t intimidate him at all.” Jillian spoke with frustration
Everyone fell into deep contemplation.
Jillian made a valid point. After all, Nathan was not a first–time offender. Minor punishments were no longer sufficient to make him repent.
Since that’s the case…
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Madelyn. “I’ve got a solution!”
Everyone immediately gazed at her hopefully.
Madelyn brought Josiah and Tristan to the black market at night while Jillian stayed at the hospital to take care of her mother.
When Tristan saw the grandeur of the casino on the second floor, comparable to the one in Adonia, he was shocked, “Oh my goodness, Madelyn, you sure are fearless! Is there anywhere you dare not set foot into?”
“Isn’t that obvious? I’ve already gotten used to it,” Josiah chimed in.
Madelyn chuckled. “I had no choice.”
Following that, she led the two of them upstairs to meet Septimus.
All the subordinates they encountered along the way recognized Madelyn. They didn’t stop her and let her in right away.

When Madelyn entered with Josiah and Tristan, he was clad in a white blazer, sitting on the couch, engrossed in a game of chess with his subordinate.
“Mr. Septimus, you sure are free!” Madelyn couldn’t help chuckling.

Septimus looked up and saw Madelyn. Rising from the couch, he exclaimed, “Oh, it’s you, Ms. Thornton. What a surprise!
Madelyn returned the smile and sat down with Josiah and Tristan without further ado. Then, she cut straight to the chase. “To be honest, Mr. Septimus, I have a favor to ask of you.
Septimus flashed a grin. “Just tell me, Ms. Thornton. Feel free to ask for any assistance you need from me. I’ll do my best to help as long as it’s within my capabilities and doesn’t cross any lines.”
“Great! You’re still as decisive as always, Mr. Septimus!” Madelyn was delighted.
Following that, she stated her purpose, “As far as I know, you have more than one casino, right?”
“Of course.” Septimus chuckled and said straightforwardly, “If this was my only casino, I would have been outdone already.”
In reality, the high–ranking executives of the black market each had their own businesses in different fields apart from serving as administrators of the market.
Madelyn had thought that since Septimus managed such a large casino, he certainly had more properties in this line of business.
To her surprise, her guess was right.
