Upon hearing this, Wesley arrogantly turned his head away, letting out a cold huff. “Don’t ask me. | don’t

know

“Wesley, you have to speak up, Madelyn reluctantly pleaded.

“I've already told you | don’t know. What else do you expectto say?” Wesley remained stubbornly silent.

Madelyn was utterly exasperated. However, even if Wesley hadn't said anything, she was certain in her heart

that Sebastian had gone to find Christopher.

Madelyn simply shrugged, too indifferent to ask any further. “Fine. Go keep the pretty ladies company and stop

blocking the way”

After speaking, she unceremoniously pushed Wesley aside and proceeded to walk toward the door.

“Hey!” Wesley was so frustrated that he could have stomped his foot right there on the spot. This girl actually

pushedaway. Does she really not regardwith any importance at all?

Madelyn walked straight out of the banquet hall. At that moment, all she wanted was to find Sebastian as quickly

as possible. Without a doubt, this must be Janessa’s work. Moreover, it’s highly likely that she has gone along

with Sebastian! Since she has followed him, that means they'll be together.

The mere thought of leaving the two of them alone together was enough to give Madelyn a massive headache.

She simply couldn't stand it.

Consequently, unable to resist her emotions, she quickened her pace, striding toward the door.

After all the hassle, Wesley no longer had the mood to flirt with girls.

He said to the ladies directly, “I apologize, but | need to step away for a bit due to smatters.”

A few beauties instantly looked at him with reluctance. “Mr. Gilbert... don’t leave.”

Wesley merely chuckled, ignoring the situation entirely as he turned his back and walked away.

Those ladies were nobodies, and Wesley had always been clear about this. Naturally, he didn’t linger for long

Following that, Wesley promptly went after Madelyn.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had just stepped out of Lockhart Manor.

Due to his long legs, his strides were quite large. Janessa, in her high heels, had to jog along just to barely keep

up with him. She found herself calling out, “Sebastian, slow down! Wait for me.”

Sebastian ignored her, his thoughts incessantly replaying Janessa’s words from earlier.

The mere thought of Madelyn, all tense and nervous by Christopher's bedside, was like a taut string in his mind,

on the brink of snapping.

One was telling him to find Madelyn to bring her back, not letting her shed tears over any other man.

The other one was telling him to let Madelyn go and not make a fool out of himself. If she cared for you, she

wouldn't have abandoned such a grand banquet for Christopher. If she doesn’t care for you, you won't be able to

win her

Two thoughts wrestled within his heart for a long time.

In the end, it was the pessimistic one who emerged victorious.

Yes. Even if | go, what's the point? Once | arrive at the hospital and see her worrying about another man, it'll only

serve to fuel my anger. At that point, there's no telling what | might do in my uncontrolled rage. A shadow

passed over Sebastian's gaze.

At this point, Janessa caught up, feigning consolation. “Sebastian, don’t be upset. | believe that Madelyn isn’t

that kind of person. After all, she is your wife. Although it’s true that she’s always had a fondness for Christopher-

Suddenly, Sebastian cast a profound glance at Janessa.

In a flustered rush, Janessa corrected herself, saying, “That's not what | meant. I'm trying to say that, after all,

Madelyn'’s first love was Christopher. Hence, she’s probably just worried, that’s all.”

At that moment, Madelyn was just leaving Lockhart Manor.

From a distance, she saw Janessa engaged in conversation with Sebastian. A cold laugh echoed in her heart, Just

as | suspected! Janessa, you truly are despicable.

Madelyn was not about to let her get her way.

Under the moonlight, a slender shadow suddenly dashed forward, fiercely embracing Sebastian from behind.

“Sebastian, how cyou're here? I've been looking for you for so long,” Madelyn said, her voice tinged with a

hint of grievance. She rested her face against Sebastian's back.

Sebastian suddenly stiffened all over.

At that moment, Janessa’s face suddenly took on an expression akin to having seen a ghost. “Madelyn, what are

you doing here?”

Sebastian also quickly turned around.

Madelyn looked utterly innocent as she said, “If all of you can be here, why can’t 17”

“Didn’t you....” Janessa found herself puzzled. Didn't she leave to look for Christopher? Just a moment ago, she

was in such a hurry, as if she couldn't wait to sprint to the hospital! Why is she standing here now as if nothing's

happened?

At that moment, Sebastian found himself looking at Madelyn, surprisingly at a loss for words.

Just moments ago, he was so upset that he nearly lost control, ready to rush to the hospital to bring her back.

However, she suddenly showed up behind him.

After speaking, she pointed at Janessa and added. “I was worried you wouldn't be able to find me, so | had

Janessa relay the message to you. What? Didn't she tell you?”

Madelyn had an air about her, much like an innocent child oblivious to the world, compelling one to

believe her.

Janessa was suddenly at a loss for words.

In a rush, she said. “Madelyn, you didn’t tellyou were going to the bathroom. Also, when did you askto

speak with Sebastian?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Janessa felt Sebastian's icy gaze. It looked so cold, and it sent chills

down her spine.

Janessa couldn't help but feel a bit scared and hurriedly explained, “Sebastian, | really didn’t know Madelyn. you

clearly didn’t say that just now. Why would you lie? Sebastian, you have to believe me.”

“Janessa, what are you talking about? | don’t understand. Didn't | tell you | was going to the bathroom and asked

you to pass the message to Sebastian?” Madelyn feigned confusion.

After that, with an innocent look on her face, she turned toward Sebastian. “Sebastian, what exactly did Janessa

tell you? She didn’t say anything she shouldnt have, did she? Also, how did you two end You madesearch

high and low for you. My feet are sore from these high heels.”

As Madelyn spoke, there was a hint of grievance in her voice.

A pang of pain struck Sebastian's heart when he heard that.

He then cast a deep glance at Janessa. “Ms. Sherritt?”

Clearly, Janessa had not anticipated that things would turn out like this.

up here?

Feeling a sudden rush of anxiety, Janessa asked angrily, “Madelyn, didn’t you just tellthat Christopher was in

a car accident and is in the hospital? Weren't you going to visit him?”

Upon hearing those words, Madelyn immediately feigned confusion, her eyes wide with innocence. “Janessa, why

are you making things up?”

“I'm not making things up! You clearly said it yourself!” Janessa was filled with frustration.

Madelyn, however, adamantly denied it, saying, “When did | ever say | was going to visit Christopher?

Today is my grandma's birthday, and it’s such a significant day. As a daughter-in-law of the Lockhart family,

it’s only natural that | stay at the banquet. Janessa, don’t spout nonsense!”
