Chapter 257 Give Up

Is she a good friend, though?” Madelyn suddenly let out a cold chuckle, her words dripping with sarcasm. “Jillian, surely you haven’t forgotten what Janessa did to me at school, have you? Although I don’t hold it against her, it’s difficult for me to open my heart to her again. Her attempts to secure her position at home now really don’t concem me anymore.”

With that, Madelyn deliberately put on an air of dejection. “Never mind. Let’s not dwell on these upsetting matters, Let’s have some coffee instead.”

And so, the three of them seriously settled down to drink their coffee.

However, on the other side, Cheryl had already recognized Madelyn. Isn’t this the good–for-nothing girl from the Thornton family, Madelyn? This woman seems to be quite close with that despicable Janessa. The words she has just spoken are probably true….

Madelyn, of course, noticed Cheryl’s gaze, but she simply smiled and chose not to continue speaking.. Some things, when explained too explicitly, could be detrimental. It was better to leave things implied.

Just as expected, Cheryl could only sit for a short while before she clearly became restless. With a swift motion, she stood up. “You all carry on. I must leave now because I have other matters to attend to.”

After she finished speaking, she hastily left with her bag leaving behind a group of her close friends exchanging puzzled glances, clueless about what had just transpired.

After watching Cheryl walk away, Madelyn couldn’t help but reveal a small, victorious smile upon realizing her goal had been achieved. Soon after, she also left, accompanied by Josiah and Jillian.

Twenty minutes later, at the Sherritt residence, Cheryl returned home in a huff, her mood thoroughly soured. Seeing her mother, Scarlet, sitting on the couch with a face mask on, her anger flared up even more. “Mom, forget about your face mask. We’ve got a serious problem!”

Scarlet was so put off by her tone that it ruined her mood. She immediately became a bit impatient. “What’s the matter? There’s no need for all this fuss. Just calmly tell me what’s going on.

“Janessa, the despicable woman, is at it again!” Cheryl fumed. After that, she went on to relay everything she heard from Madelyn at the cafe to Scarlet

Upon hearing that, Scarlet instantly cursed, “That despicable woman! If left unchecked for a day, she starts stirring up trouble again!”

“Exactly! How dare she target our Sherritt family! Who gave her the audacity?” Cheryl also added angrily from the side.

Unexpectedly, Scarlet’s expression changed when she heard the last word.
