Chapter 352

Chapter 352:

Courtney was trembling, her eyes empty and lost. Madisyn had lived up to her promise; she had warned Courtney that if she caused trouble again, she’d get her arrested. Now, Courtney’s involvement in the attempted murder meant she was likely heading for prison, and her life was falling apart.

“Mom, please help me!” Courtney begged Sarai, her face full of desperation.

Sarai desperately wanted to help Courtney but felt helpless. She could only watch as the police took her daughter away. Through her tears, she reassured Courtney, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll find a way to save you.”

Courtney was taken to the police station. In the hospital ward, Sarai was deep in thought. Their family, while not the most powerful, had been well-respected in Ansport for their achievements in the art world. Now, it was a harsh reality that two members of their family were behind bars.

Sarai’s phone wouldn’t stop vibrating. She pulled it out and saw a flood of messages from her contacts. Everyone was shocked. Courtney had always been sensible—how could she be involved in something like this?

“Mrs. Johns, what happened exactly? Has Courtney lost her mind?”

“Mrs. Johns, my child doesn’t want to be taught by Courtney anymore.”

“Mrs. Johns, we want to cancel our contract with Courtney.”

Courtney had many students. Their parents had previously begged Sarai to let Courtney teach their children. Now, they were all demanding refunds after the scandal broke. The news had spread nationwide. If their children were taught by Courtney, it would make them the subject of ridicule.

Sarai felt a deep resentment. She saw these people as opportunists, quick to turn their backs when things went wrong. She was sure that Courtney would soon be behind bars. Now, nearly everyone online was talking about Courtney, and her scandal had overshadowed Tatiana’s news. Tatiana saw the news and understood that their plan had failed. But on the bright side, it meant that no one was focusing on her own scandal anymore.

Meanwhile, Andrew’s reputation had actually been enhanced. “Mr. Klein really is a model of the elite.”

“Mr. Klein is a great guy. I shouldn’t have trusted Courtney. She really is awful.”

“Courtney is so vicious. Thankfully, Mr. Klein has proof.”

“Many people were quick to criticize Andrew before, but now they must be regretting it. From what I hear, Courtney wasn’t a good person. Andrew is her cousin’s boyfriend. How could she be so brainless as to do something like that?”

“Haha. Can you believe Courtney is a teacher? It’s such bad luck for her students to have her as a teacher!”

“My kid is one of her students. I’m definitely going to demand a refund right away.”

“I just heard the latest news—Courtney’s been arrested!”

“What’s going on? Please get into the details of what happened!”

“I saw Courtney being taken away by the police and getting into their car. I’m not sure why yet.”

“Did Courtney actually commit a crime? Oh my God, that’s awful! How can someone like her be a teacher? It feels like our country’s future is in jeopardy!”

Tatiana was taken aback when she heard that Courtney had been arrested. She tried to piece things together. It must be because Courtney had plotted with Jenna to try to murder Madisyn. When Madisyn had returned unharmed, Jenna had quickly been jailed, but Courtney seemed to have avoided any trouble. It appeared that Madisyn had initially spared Courtney.

However, now, Madisyn was unwilling to forgive her.

Tatiana rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. How did things end up like this? They were completely useless!

Tatiana was feeling overwhelmed. How was she going to explain this to Corbett? Just as she was getting more frustrated, her phone rang.

“Tatiana, it’s been ages! I’m coming back next week. Let’s catch up over dinner,” the woman’s voice was soothing, soft, and carried an air of grace.

Tatiana usually maintained an aloof demeanor, but hearing this voice made her instantly soften. “Jada, you’re coming back?”

“Yes, it’s been ages since we last met, so I’d love to catch up. There will be many friends there, so you must join!”

“Of course,” Tatiana replied with a smile, feeling a wave of relief. The weight on her shoulders seemed to lift a little.

Jada was not just any woman—she was the renowned young lady in Ansport, famous and influential from a young age, expected to inherit the Riggs family’s vast wealth. This influential figure was also stunningly beautiful, a dream girl for many young men in Ansport.

Tatiana and Jada had met at an event and exchanged numbers. Tatiana knew the vast difference in their social standings, but Jada was down-to-earth and approachable, so she took the opportunity to build a connection, and over time, their relationship grew closer.

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious car, Madisyn couldn’t help but smile, feeling in high spirits.

“Why do I get the feeling that you’re happier than I am now that my problem is sorted?” Andrew asked, looking at Madisyn.

Madisyn cleared her throat, feeling slightly embarrassed. When she caught Andrew’s gentle, teasing look, she felt as if he was with her. He had been cool and composed when they first met, but over time, he had grown more affectionate. Madisyn couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by his charm.

She replied, “Well, it’s because you’re my boyfriend. I feel just as upset when you’re criticized.”

Andrew’s smile widened as he gently patted Madisyn’s head and teased, “But you don’t seem to be as bothered when you’re the one getting criticized.”

“Well, you’re more important to me than myself,” she said with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling.

Andrew noticed the sincerity in her words and felt deeply moved. It was clear to him that in her world, he was the one who mattered most.

Overcome by his emotions, Andrew gently touched her face and slowly leaned in closer.
