Chapter 3 Dream On

Madelyn glanced at her phone to check the time, speculating that Sebastian should be at the office by now.

Making up her mind, Madelyn asked the driver to turn around.

A few minutes later, she found herself standing in front of Lockhart Group’s building.

Glancing up at the towering skyscraper, Madelyn couldn’t help but squint as the sunlight hit the glass exterior of the building, refracting a dazzling light.

Sebastian was in the CEO’s office, located at the very top floor.

Madelyn entered the grand hall, heading straight for the exclusive elevator reserved for a privileged few. Those in the hall recognized her identity and didn’t dare to stop her.

She made her way straight to the top floor. Upon reaching the assistant’s office, Sebastian’s assistant Malcolm Schultz was taken aback upon seeing Madelyn.

“Ms. Thornton… No, I should address you as Mrs. Lockhart now. How come you’re here, Mrs. Lockhart?” Malcolm rose, so surprised that he stammered.

In the past, Madelyn never deigned to set foot in Lockhart Group, a sentiment that she had once verbally expressed.

Every time she visited, chaos would ensue in the company, and Malcolm was always the one who had to clean up the mess and bear the brunt of Sebastian’s anger. Therefore, he was afraid of Madelyn.

Madelyn evidently remembered the horrible things she used to do.

In fact, Malcolm had been nice to her in her previous life. He had even defended her because of Sebastian.

However, she had harbored a deep aversion toward Malcolm.
