Chapter 4 The Innocent And Kind Madelyn

When Peter finally lost it, he scolded Jane while pointing at her nose. “My point? Don’t you have any sense of guilt?

“We had an agreement, Jane, that you would reveal your true identity at the appropriate time, and you would do so without causing Madelyn any harm. You promised!

“But instead of that, you’re being dishonest, voluntarily revealing your identity to gossip magazines and sending them pictures. We have looked into everything!”

Peter looked at Jane as if he were looking at a bitter enemy he had a deep grudge against rather than a long–lost sister in need of care.

“Jane, if you get on your knees and apologize to Madelyn now, I can forgive you this time, considering you’ve been lost for so many years, and you’ve missed out on the upbringing of our Fowler family. You can stay with us and be our true heiress!” Jack said as he coldly stared at Jane.

He thought that Jane would panic and lose control after he told her this, but instead, she calmly said, “Oh? Where’s the evidence?”

“What evidence?” Jack asked.

“You can’t just say I told a gossip magazine who I am, can you? If you can’t back up your claims with proof, I can sue you for slander,” said Jane.

Jane’s calm and casual answer again surprised Jack and the others.

They couldn’t believe that Jane had just threatened to sue them, mainly because she was known to be such a wimp.

Even Madelyn, who had been sobbing and clinging to Jack, stealthily glanced in the direction of Jane.

Madelyn’s impression of Jane had shifted entirely by this point. Jane might have appeared exactly the same as before, but she carried herself very composed and self–assuredly.

She was exuding an air of disinterest and nobility that made her stand out from everyone else in this place.

Madelyn didn’t know how, but all of a sudden, she felt a sense of panic in her heart.

Madelyn quickly forced the feeling down.

She kept telling herself that this plan was perfect and she had nothing to worry about. She kept her head down so no one could see what she was thinking.
