Janessa paused for a moment, then added, “Actually, there's something else | need to ask of you. | won't get into

the details now. Ill tell you when the tcomes.”

After saying that, Janessa happily left.

Madelyn watched her retreating figure, a sly smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

In that case, all we can do is wait and see, right?

At that time, in the study, Sebastian was engrossed in his work, his face expressionless, subtly radiating an air of

indifference. His deep-set eyes reflected a chilling intensity due to his focus, and his entire demeanor exuded

unparalleled nobility.

He held a fountain pen in his slender and handsfingers, poised above a contract that had already been

reviewed. With effortless grace, he dropped a signature onto the page. It was attractive and artistically designed,

exuding a casual yet chic flair.

At that moment, the phone on the table suddenly began to ring.

The nMalcolm popped up on the screen. Upon seeing it, Sebastian immediately answered the call.

As soon as he held the phone up to his ear, Malcolm on the other end began to apologize incessantly.

“Mr. Lockhart, I'm sorry,” he began, “The person you askedto tail that night... | was halfway through when

they suddenly spotted me. Then, they managed to shake us off...”

“So?” Sebastian slightly furrowed his brows.

Malcolm hastily said, “However, Mr. Lockhart, we think we've identified someone. That person seems to be

named something like Adelar.”

Upon hearing these words, Sebastian was slightly taken aback.

Of course, he knew about Adelar.

Adelar, the top assassin on the international hit list, had been sought after by countless big shots who wanted to

buy his loyalty. Yet, Adelar didn’t accept anyone’s money. He served solely for a foreign arms tycoon, simply

because this tycoon had once saved his life.

As for that arms tycoon, perhaps the average person wouldn't know who he was, but Sebastian was well

aware.

under his

His nwas Grimo, a figure who struck fear into the hearts of all in the underworld. The arse control provided

almost all of the weapons in the criminal world, and even snations had to purchase specially made weapons

from him.

However, despite being such a prominent arms tycoon, he was not very old. It seemed as if he had already

ascended to such a high position by the age of thirty, which was truly impressive.

Of course, what truly astonished Sebastian wasn’t Grimo’s background, but rather, Madelyn.

With these thoughts in mind, Sebastian felt a heavy burden on his heart. He immediately turned to Malcolm and

said, “Once you've settled matters over there, return to the country as soon as possible. Then, assign more

people to stay close to Madelyn, keeping a constant watch over her to ensure her safety”

“Yes,” Malcolm replied.

Despite everything, Sebastian still harbored a sense of unease in his heart. After all, since their arrival overseas,

Madelyn’s actions had been nothing short of shocking and scandalous.

The most astonishing thing was that she had the audacity to impersonate Morgana. If word about this got out, it

wouldn't be a minor issue. It was enough to land her in a considerable amount of trouble.

Therefore, it was imperative for Sebastian to ensure the safety of his beloved.

“There's another matter, Mr. Lockhart.”

At this point, Malcolm spoke again. “The people from Hellfire Creed have been caught. After interrogating them,

we found out that the person who attacked you last twas just one of their leaders. Now, their boss has come

to demand their release. How do you think we should handle this situation?”

Upon hearing this news, Sebastian was not surprised in the slightest.

Although the boss was not exactly a big shot, he was the leader of an organization. Now that he had personally

cto claim someone, it was difficult for Sebastian to refuse him outright.

After all, Sebastian originally just wanted to teach those guys a lesson. As long as they knew that the Lockhart

family was not one to be trifled with, that was enough.

So, with a cold tone, he said, “Since their boss has casking for a favor, let's grant it to them. Just release the

person.”

“Okay,” Malcolm responded.

Then, the call was ended.

No sooner had the phone call ended than a sudden shout echoed from outside.

Madelyn had reached the doorway of the study at that moment. Casting a cheerful glance at Sebastian, she said,

“The two hours are up. You should keep your promise now.”

Sebastian was practically at his wits’ end, but since he had given his word to Madelyn, he had no choice but to

temporarily set aside his work and stand up.

Madelyn was quite pleased.

She then added, “Don’t rush, I've just prepared slate-night snacks for you downstairs. You can rest after

you've eaten.”

Upon hearing these words, Sebastian didn’t resist. He did as he was told.

First, they finished off their late-night snack completely. Then, they went to freshen up, and finally, obediently

went to bed to sleep.

Upon returning to his homeland, his life resumed its original course.

The following day, after the two of them woke up, Sebastian, as usual, dropped Madelyn at the campus before

heading back to his company.

After all, it had been quite stsince Madelyn last attended school. Now, returning once again, she felt an

inexplicable sense of joy. So, she walked to the classroom with a spring in her step.

Upon entering the classroom, she saw Jillian, who was quietly sitting at her desk, clad in a loose, white T- shirt.

A mischievous smile suddenly played at the corners of Madelyn’s mouth, and then she stealthily made her way

over.

Once she reached behind Jillian, she suddenly leapt in front of the latter, exclaiming, “Hey!”

“Ah!” Jillian was taken aback.

Once she realized it was Madelyn, she was caught between laughter and despair, exclaiming, “Madelyn, you're

finally back!”

“Haha, my beauty, did you miss me?” Madelyn said, her laughter filled with playful mischief.

“Of course I've missed you,” Jillian affirmed with a vigorous nod.

Madelyn’s smile grew even brighter. “Since you've been thinking ofso much, letgive you a gift.”

Then, under Jillian's watchful gaze, Madelyn brought out a small, square wooden box.

“What is this?” Jillian asked curiously.

With a mischievous grin, Madelyn coaxed, “Why don’t you open it and see for yourself?”

Jillian nodded, then proceeded to open the box. Inside, she discovered a bracelet, shimmering with a brilliant

silver glow.

“Wow, it's so beautiful!” For the first time, Jillian laid her eyes on such a dazzling bracelet, and she was

immediately awestruck.

Madelyn chuckled. “This is something | specifically picked out for you in Rodunst. So, do you like it?”

“Like it? Of course, | like it! Madelyn, you're really the best.” Jillian was overjoyed, then she immediately took off

the bracelet and wore it on her wrist. The bracelet complemented her fair skin, making it look very attractive.

This made Jillian even happier.

However, immediately after, Jillian suddenly regained her composure. With a mysterious air, she said, “Madelyn,

lettell you something. While you were away, our school welcomed two new transfer students. Can you guess

who they are?”
