Chapter 69

The first people that came to Madelyn’s mind were Michelle, Jenny, and Lorrie. She could not think of anyone other than them since she had argued with them before.

The three girls were touching up their makeup in the women’s restroom. They straightened their tie as their red lips turned into smirks. At the same time, Michelle was humming a cheerful song.

“You seem to be in a good mood today,” said Lorrie.

“I am,” Michelle raised her skirt and uttered with a smile.

Following that, Jenny asked, “Did you guys see the pictures I posted in the group?”

“Yeah. I’m delighted with the outcome. Keep up the hard work, Jenny,” said Michelle.

Jenny wiped off the excess lipstick from the corners of her mouth and continued, “I’ve been annoyed with Madelyn from the start. I would’ve had someone beat her up that day if it weren’t for the fact that her brother is handsome.”

Michelle turned around and leaned against the sink as she said, “You mean that cold, handsome guy at the charity event? That’s her brother?!”

Jenny nodded in response. “My dad said that the guy is Hayson Jent’s lackey. He spent a lot of money just to find him, but he didn’t want the money. Mr. Jent then sent a woman over, but the guy kicked her out before the night ended. I’ve never met a man like him. What’s more, he didn’t even shoot a glance at me when I invited him for drinks last time.”

“Pfft. Why is he acting so cocky when he’s just a lackey?”

“I heard that Zach cares more about Jadie than Madelyn. They grew up together in the orphanage and even collected food from the garbage to eat. My dad did warn me not to get close to him, but I’m not sure why…” Lorrie shrugged and continued, “I saw him at the bar last time. There’s no denying that the man’s good-looking, but he’s a little too old for my liking… I prefer guys who are younger than me!”

Michelle was suddenly interested in this man. She always liked a challenge. Once she knew he was unavailable, she wanted him even more. “Do you think that he’d be mad at us if something happened to Jadie?”

“I don’t think Zach can do anything about it, though. I’ve talked to my dad, and he said he’ll take care of it for me if Hayson shows up at our doorstep,” said Jenny.

At that moment, someone kicked open the door to the restroom. “I knew it! I knew it was you Buys who did it!

The three looked over to the door and saw that it was Madelyn. Michelle played with her hair between her fingers and laughed disdainfully, “You scared me, Madelyn. I guess there’s no use In denying it since you’ve already heard everything. Yes, Madelyn. We’re the ones who did it. We’re the ones who had people beat Jadie up. What are you going to do about it, huh?”

“Are you gonna call the police? Sue the teachers or our parents?”

“Oh no, we’re so scared!” The other two girls teased.

Madelyn stepped forward and raised her hands. Before the other party could react, she slapped her in the face, saying, “Come at me if you have a problem with me. Don’t take your anger out on Jadie.”

Michelle returned to her senses when she fell to the ground. “How dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am? Do you wanna die?!” Her mind was in a blur after being struck. “What are you two doing?! Grab her!”

Jenny and Lorrie were about to step forward, but Madelyn turned around and kicked them in the shin.

She then rolled her sleeves up, faced Michelle, and began to beat her up. However, there were three of them and only one of her. Her previous injuries were also not fully healed yet, so she was immediately defeated.

Madelyn’s short nails were also a disadvantage at that time. She had cut them because she wanted to learn to play the piano.
