Chapter 375:

Madisyn let out a scream and instinctively crouched down.

“Get your hands off my friend!”

Out of nowhere, someone dashed forward and shoved the first hooligan aside.

“Who in the world are you?” The hooligan glanced at the newcomer with a smirk. “Another pretty woman? Looks like my luck’s on fire today!”

When Madisyn heard the familiar voice, her eyes flew open, and she found Jada standing protectively before her. Surprised, she quickly got to her feet. “Jada? What are you doing here?”

“I happened to be passing by. Seeing you come here, I wanted to remind you that it’s not safe here.” With a steely gaze, Jada calmly addressed the hooligans. “Do you have any idea who we are? You really can’t afford to cross us. Now, leave this place!”

“Hmph! Young lady, don’t get too full of yourself. I’m quite curious to find out why I can’t afford to cross you,” the hooligan taunted, charging forward.

Jada grabbed a stick from the ground and swung it at them. “Get out of here now—I’ve already called the police!”

“Do you honestly think I’ll believe you?”

With swift movements, Jada struggled to fend off the hooligans’ relentless assault. As their attacks grew fiercer, she spun around and urged, “Run now, Madisyn!”

“What about you?” With a worried expression, Madisyn exclaimed, immediately calling Andrew.

“It’s fine—I’ve already called the police. You should go ahead and get out of here first,” Jada exuded a steadfast confidence, her presence radiating a reassuring sense of security.

Madisyn stubbornly shook her head, refusing to run.

“I guarantee neither of you is getting away!” A hooligan snatched the stick from Jada’s grasp and lunged to grab her.

But before he could lay a hand on Jada, he was abruptly kicked aside.

Just a minute later, all three hooligans were on the ground.

Jada, visibly relieved and on the verge of collapsing, turned to Andrew, who had intervened. “Andrew, you showed up just in time!”

“What on earth happened?” Andrew approached Madisyn and scrutinized her from head to toe worriedly. As Jada watched Andrew’s actions, a flicker of unreadable emotion passed through her eyes. She said, “I noticed Madisyn had come here and wanted to warn her about the danger. I imagined those hooligans would corner her like this. Thankfully, you arrived just in time; I shudder to think what we would have suffered.”

“Are you all right?” Andrew then turned his gaze toward Jada.

Her face pale, Jada smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

“Jada, I can’t thank you enough,” Madisyn said.

“It’s nothing. I’d help anyone, even a stranger, let alone a friend. You should be more cautious out there,” Jada said gently.

“Okay.”

“Could I have your number? Some areas in Arasport can be quite dangerous. I’ll message you some tips later.” Jada pulled out her phone.

This time, Madisyn didn’t hesitate to comply.

After exchanging numbers with Madisyn, Jada asked Andrew to escort Madisyn back so she could get some rest.

Watching them walk away, Jada smiled.

The hooligans on the ground scrambled to their feet and offered Jada a respectful bow.

“Miss Riggs.”

Jada pulled out a few bills and said, “Here is the payment.”

“Thank you, Miss Riggs. Don’t hesitate to call us if you need us again.” The men flashed a grin.

“Again?”

Jada replied with a soft, “Alright.” Yet, there was a hint of icy coldness in her smile.

Jada pulled out her phone and dialed Mara’s number. “Mom, I’ve done it. Madisyn won’t be Susan’s friend anymore. She’ll be joining us shortly.”

“Jada, you’re incredible! There’s nothing in this world you can’t do!” Mara smiled and added, “I was concerned that Madisyn might stand in your way, but I didn’t expect you to become friends with her. However, it seems that Madisyn and Susan have known each other for quite some time.”

“So what? Madisyn’s no fool; she’s sharp enough to weigh the pros and cons. It’s better for her to stick with me, especially since she owes me a big favor now.” Jada watched the luxury car drive away, her eyes gleaming with pride and a touch of arrogance.

In that moment, the tension and fear melted from Madisyn’s face.

Andrew turned to her and said, “Sweetheart, you truly have a knack for this.”

“Darling, the same goes for you,” Madisyn smiled.

“I can assure you that Jada has never suspected you were putting on an act.” Andrew gently stroked Madisyn’s head with his big hand.

“Well, she believes that I don’t know those hooligans were hired by her,” Madisyn said casually as she turned on her phone, revealing a message of comfort from Jada. Shaking his head, Andrew remarked, “The calculations you women make rival those of the sharpest minds in the business world.”

Andrew was amazed by these two women’s acting skills.

“So, Mr. Klein, be kind to me. Otherwise, I can’t promise I won’t resort to these tactics against you.” Madisyn gazed at Andrew with a smile.

“If you want to take me on, I’m more than ready to face it,” Andrew said, gazing at Madisyn with deep affection. His dark eyes, like a stormy sea, seemed on the verge of sweeping her away.

Madisyn was left utterly speechless.

Alright, Andrew’s sweet talk had hit its peak, and she found herself at a loss for words.

After giving a cursory response to Jada, Madisyn went home with Andrew.

While Andrew was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Madisyn was reclining on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, she came across a news alert. She dashed into the kitchen.

“What’s going on, sweetheart?” Clad in an apron, Andrew turned to look at Madisyn.

“Jeffry’s dead,” Madisyn said.
