Winslet observed Madeline as she lowered her head and consumed her oatmeal in a subdued manner.

Unconsciously, a strategic scheme took shape in Winslet's mind.

Considering the family's strong preexisting aversion toward Madeline, she orchestrated a plan to intensify their negative opinions about her. Then, even as she returned to school, Madeline could not affect her.

With those thoughts

in mind, Winslet could not suppress a surge of exhilaration, leaving her brimming with enthusiasm as

she ascended the staircase,

Only after her departure did Madeline set aside her spoon, casting a deep gaze at Winslet's retreating figure.

Madeline knew that Winslet would not grant her the slightest respite. She would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to push her into a corner. Madeline stood up and ventured out into the courtyard.

Madeline did not believe the Larson family would ever entertain remorse or repentance toward her during this lifetime. That was why she intended to sever her ties with the Larson family entirely and without reservation.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Madeline had always been an adept performer.

There was only a mere 48 hours remaining until the engagement cancellation banquet.

Benjamin came by at noon.

After a short chat with Winslet, he saw Madeline, who was engrossed in weeding the courtyard. His demeanor appeared slightly unsettled.

"Maddie, you seem to be in a decent mood today," he commented. "Even if our compatibility is in question, and we dissolve the marriage arrangement, maintaining a friendship is plausible We can value each other's presence, and I'll hold you in the regard of a sister."
