Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 2 What Is Wrong

Madelyn narrowed her eyes, scenes from the past playing out in her mind like a movie.

Every word that Janessa had uttered in her previous life was etched in her heart. That woman was unscrupulous, doing anything she could to trick Madelyn. As a result, Madelyn was led astray, even believing that marrying Sebastian was akin to stepping into hell.

Janessa had told her that the man who loved her the most was Christopher and that she would only find true happiness with him. That was how Janessa gradually persuaded her to walk straight into a trap, causing her to be doomed eternally.

Looking back, Madelyn found herself ridiculous.

Back then, she was foolish enough to believe everything Janessa said, even convincing herself that she was truly in love with Christopher. As a result, she went out of her way to oppose Sebastian, striving to distance herself from him. In the end, she became the talk of the town and was widely criticized for being promiscuous.

Madelyn closed her eyes, tears of regret streaking down her face.

Having recognized the true nature of Janessa, she was determined to prevent history from repeating itself.

There’s no way I’m going to let Janessa have her way again!

Madelyn rose from the bed, slipping into her bathrobe. She paused for a few moments, her hand gripping the doorknob before finally turning it open.

Janessa breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly grabbed onto Madelyn’s arm, exclaiming, “You finally opened the door. I thought something had happened to you. You really scared me to death.”

Janessa stood on tiptoes to peek into the room and asked with a tone of reproach, almost like she was interrogating Madelyn. “Madelyn, I thought we agreed on this. Did you not sneak out last night? Why did you end up spending the night in the room? Did… Did Mr. Lockhart do anything to you?”

Janessa scrutinized Madelyn intently, her gaze piercingly sharp, as if trying to see through her.

Madelyn cast her eyes down, her fingers tightly clenched, striving to keep her emotions under control.

How could I possibly forget what Janessa persuaded me to do?

Last night was the night of her engagement to Sebastian. As all the elders were present, Madelyn had no choice but to follow Sebastian into the room.

At that time, Janessa immediately sent her a text message, urging her to devise a plan to get Sebastian drunk and find an opportunity to slip away in the middle of the night.
