Chapter 357 She Will Not Be Honest
“Dad, Madelyn, please, I beg you to forgive me,”
As Eunice continued to speak, she suddenly started to cry. Her intermittent sobs were utterly heartbreaking.
At that moment, Derek sighed, his heart inevitably softening toward his youngest daughter.
He could only ask. “Eunice, have you truly repented? Your mother-

Before he could finish his sentence, Eunice interrupted, “Dad, stop bringing up Mom. I admit, I was at fault in the past. 1 let Mom manipulate me into doing things that hurt you, but I promise that it won’t happen again. You have no idea, the sheer terror I felt in that split second when the vehicle was heading toward you. I would rather risk my own life than see you come to any harm, Dad. After everything I’ve done, don’t you believe me yet?”
Seeing her father still seemed somewhat hesitant, Eunice had no choice but to pull out her trump card.
Indeed, the moment Derek recalled the image of his daughter blocking the vehicle for him, he was deeply moved. “Alright. I have certainly forgiven you,” he said. “To recognize one’s mistakes and make amends is the greatest virtue. As long as you’re sincerely sorry, we are still a family.”
“Mmm–hmm!” Eunice obediently nodded her head.
Madelyn watched from the side, letting out a cold, derisive chuckle.
Even though her father had been deceived by Eunice, she certainly was not.
How could it be possible that Eunice just happened to be at the base of the company building, conveniently blocking the car for Dad? Madelyn refused to believe that it wasn’t part of an elaborate plan.
However, Madelyn simply observed everything with cabin indifference, not bothering to expose any falsehoods.
She was indeed curious to see what Eunice had up her sleeve, having plotted and schemed all this while.
She then spoke up. “Dad, since Eunice has sincerely apologized, why don’t we let her come back home? After all, it’s not safe for a girl to live outside.”
Derek nodded. “Alright then. Eunice, you should move back home today. As long as you behave yourself from now on, I’ll pretend that everything that happened in the past never occurred?”
“Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Madelyn.” Eunice immediately nodded, as if she was deeply moved.
Nevertheless, she was rejoicing inwardly, itching to share the success of her cunning plan with Kieran right
away
Alright, since everything’s been sorted out, I’ll be taking my leave now.”
With that, Madelyn turned around and left.
In the evening, at Lockhart Group, Madelyn had specifically bought two takeout meals for dinner with Sebastian after realizing it was getting late.

Just as she was about to enter the oflice, Malcolm stopped her, “Mrs. Lockhart, Ms. Moore is currently presenting her report inside. Please wait for a moment
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn paused for a moment. Soon after, she realized that the takeout in her hands would definitely get cold if she waited any longer. So, se simply snorted dismissively. “I don’t care.”
After speaking, she strode right in.
Malcolm could only shake his head from outside. Mrs. Lockhart is truly willful.
After entering, Madelyn realized that Harriet wasn’t reporting her work at all,
The meticulously prepared desserts on the table must be Harriet’s doing. No one else but her could have done it.
Meanwhile! Harriet and Sebastian had also spotted Madelyn.
Sebastian’s expression inexplicably softened, while Harriet’s face instantly turned dark. What terrible she has!
In reality. Harriet was preparing to let Sebastian taste the desserts she had made herself.
Sebastian found it hard to refuse, so he was ready to give it a try. But now that everything was abruptly interrupted. Harriet was filled with frustration.
“What were you guys talking about?”
At that moment, Madelyn set down the takeout, her eyes twinkling as she moved closer. Her gaze was instantly drawn to the desserts on the table. “Wow, these desserts look delicious,” she exclaimed. “May I have one?”
The color drained from Harriet’s face. After all, this was something she had meticulously prepared for Sebastian.
However, it would be rude to refuse, so she managed a trained smile and said, “Since you’re so interested, Ms. Thornton, go ahead and try some.
Madelyn suddenly laughed. “Harriet, you’re truly amazing. How did you know I was hungry?”
After finishing her sentence with a beaming smile, Madelyn really didn’t hold back. She picked up several pieces in one go, unabashedly stuffing them into her mouth without a care for her image.
“Wow, this is delicious. Harriet, your cooking skills are amazing! Could you teach me sometime? That way, I could make it for Sebastian every day.”
Once she finished speaking. Madelyn didn’t hesitate at all. She promptly devoured the rest of the snacks, not leaving even a crumb behind.
“Um, I’m really sorry, Harriet. The food you made was just too delicious, and I accidentally finished it all without realizing it.”
While feigning an apology, Madelyn belched contentedly, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. She then patted her stomach and said, “I guess this is for the best Sebastian doesn’t like sweet stuff anyway, so he wouldn’t have eaten them.”

While Sebastian watched on, he tried to hide his smile Maintaining a calm facade, he subtly nodded.
The color drained from Harriet’s face, her expression brkening considerably. Moreover, her teeth were denched tightly together.
This damned Madelyn has crossed the line!
Following that, Harriet didn’t wish to linger any longer. After hastily reporting her work, she quickly left
Once she was gone, Madelyn began to laugh heartily, nearly fainting from the intensity of her laughter. “That was hilarious, hahaha!”
Sebastian watched her from the side, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Despite the softening of his expression, his voice remained icy. “So, you’re quite pleased with your prank, aren’t you?”
“Of course, she had it coming for trying to seduce my man. I’m not going to let her succeed!”
Madelyn gave a haughty snort, then beckoned to Sebastian. “By the way, I got us some takeout. Let’s e
Subsequently, the two of them shared a meal.
Having indulged in an abundance of pastries, Madelyn found herself unable to eat anymore. Thus, she simply started relating the day’s events to Sebastian, who was sitting beside her.
“Sebastian, what do you think is really going on with my stepsister? I feel like she isn’t as innocent as she
seems,
After hearing about the situation, Sebastian remained impassive. “Since we don’t know what she’s planning, let’s just wait and see.”
Madelyn immediately nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. However, no matter what she’s planning. I won’t let her get away with it easily.”
From the looks of it, Regina and Eunice had already pulled out all the stops.
However, Madelyn wasn’t afraid. If they were still not giving up, then she was ready to face whatever came her way.
The following day, Eunice was discharged from the hospital given that her injuries were not severe.
When Madelyn arrived at the Thornton residence, she saw Eunice practicing walking in the yard with a walking stick. Their father was by the latter’s side, supporting her, and they were chatting and laughing from time to time, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
