Ms. Moore, of course, was none other than Harriet.

“What is she doing here?”

Madelyn was slightly annoyed.

“Ms. Moore mentioned that she has sofficial matters to report,” Lydia said.

Sebastian didn’t even bother to raise an eyebrow as he did. “Let her in”

Lydia nodded, then went to usher Harriet in.

Finished

Harriet, clad in a professional suit, exuded an aura of cold arrogance that made her seem unapproachable at first

glance.

Of course. Harriet knew that if it weren't for Madelyn feeling unwell, Sebastian would not have chosen to work

from home.

Upon entering. Harriet courteously greeted Madelyn first, “Ms. Thornton, | heard you've been feeling unwell. Are

you feeling better now?”

How pretentious.

Madelyn sneered inwardly, then responded nonchalantly, “I'm much better. Thank you for your concern. But |

wonder what pressing matter requires your personal visit to our home.”

The tone of Madelyn’s words made it blatantly clear that she did not welcher.

Harriet’s expression subtly changed, but she held back her emotions and laughed. “Of course it's something very

important.”

“Really...” Madelyn uttered with a tone of disdain.

Harriet smiled generously, a hint of provocation in her gaze. “This matter is of utmost importance, a company

secret that outsiders shouldn't hear. So, | must kindly ask you to step out for a while. Ms. Thornton.”

What?

Outsiders? Did she just callan outsider?

Madelyn instantly found herself a bit irked.

However, after giving it sthought, she had to admit Harriet’s position in Lockhart Group was indeed very

high, so it was inevitable that she would know ssecrets.

With a displeased pour, Madelyn reluctantly agreed to step aside.

After all, this was a matter concerning Lockhart Group, and Madelyn didn’t want to cause any trouble for

Sebastian.

After stepping outside, Madelyn still felt a lingering sense of discontent.

What on earth does Harriet want to report that is so importa it

In my past life, did anything significant occur after Sebastian turned home, wounded from abroad?

I dont think so.

Madelyn racked her brains for a long time, but she couldn’t cup with anything.

Finished

She couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. After all, he reprehensible behavior in her past life was to

blame.

In her past life, every tan event related to Sebastian occurred, she had been utterly indifferent. She would

even go out of her way to avoid it, fearing any potential association with Sebastian.

This led to her current predicament, where no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't make sense of it.

all.

However, regardless of whether she could recall or not, Madelyn felt that she must have overlooked something.

Otherwise, Harriet wouldn't have cover.

But unable to cup with anything. Madelyn had no choice but to temporarily give up.

Fortunately, Harriet and Sebastian's conversation didn’t last long. After a short while, they cout.

When she cout, Harriet gave Madelyn a meaningful glance.

“I've said all there is to say. I'll be going now,” she said with a smile.

Once she finished speaking, Harriet, donning her high heels, left with an air of arrogance.

Madelyn frowned in place.

Oddly enough, she felt there was shidden implication in Harriet’s glance earlier.

That feeling was as if something had happened, and she was the only one left in the dark, clueless.

Am | overthinking it?

Madelyn shook her head, sighing. Oh, forget it.

The following day, Madelyn finally went to the university, and immediately, Jillian and Josiah cover to

express their concern.

“Madelyn, are you all right? What exactly is bothering you?” Jillian sounded utterly worried.

Even though Josiah remained silent, his evidently concerned expression gave him away.

Madelyn felt a wave of warmth, gave a small smile, and said, “Don’t worry. It's nothing serious. I'm feeling much

better now.”

“Are you sure?” Josiah asked at that moment.

Madelyn nodded. “Of course.”

Suddenly attack of crints was forcefully thrust into her agme

Josiah said bluntly. “Now that you're recovered, I'll be the script are yours. You better meinorize them quick!

Madelyn wore a look of utter confusion.

aightforward with you. The lines marked in red in We have to rehearse this afternoon.

What's going on here? The flippant Josiah is actually so enthusiastic about a stage play?

“Hey, Josiah, don’t tellyou've decided to turn over new leaf now that you're in this university. It's just a stage

play, yet you're taking it so seriously. Am | dreaming? Are you really Josiah?” Madelyn was utterly taken aback by

him. Unable to resist her doubt, she reached out to pinch his cheek.

Josiah was instantly infuriated. He promptly pushed her hand away. “You have the nerve to say that? If it weren't

for you, | wouldn't give a d’'m about this lousy stage play! I'm not someone they can just summon whenever they

please...

Seeing Josiah was about to lose his temper again, Madelyn quickly tried to soothe him. “All right, all right, | get it.

I'll go memorize it right now.”

After saying that, Madelyn quickly grabbed the script and made a hasty exit

“Mr. Josiah, please don’t be upset.” Jillian tried to soothe him. “Madelyn has just recovered.”

Josiah gave her a fierce glare. Startled, Jillian's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately fell silent. She quietly

returned to her seat, acting as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, they went for rehearsal..

After expressing his concern for Madelyn and ensuring she was in good health, Yadiel and the others began to

rehearse according to the script.

During the day, Madelyn had already familiarized herself thoroughly with her lines. So at this moment. she

quickly fell into rhythm with them in the play.

Unexpectedly, Madelyn immersed herself into the role incredibly quickly. Throughout the entire scene, she

accurately captured the character's emotions during the setting of the time. Even though it was only their first

rehearsal, she already embodied the shadow of her character.

After the rehearsal, everyone was astounded by Madelyn. No one had expected her acting skills to be so

impressive. She could easily rival many of the popular up-and-coming actresses of the time.

Jillian exclaimed in awe, “Madelyn, you're so good-looking, and your acting skills are so good. It's a waste if you

don’t becan actress!”

Yadiel, standing by the side, nodded in agreement. “It seems we indeed made the right choice for our female

lead.”

Everyone else also wore expressions of admiration.

Madelyn merely chuckled nonchalantly. Having lived two lifetimes, | ought to possess sacting skills.

Otherwise, how am | supposed to fight with Janessa?

On the other hand, Janessa’s performance was disappointingly subpar.

Throughout the night, one mishap followed another. Either her lines weren't delivered correctly, or her

performance was simply terrible. She was supposed to portray a character of ultimate villainy, yet she

And so, Yadiel did not hold back at all. He gave a thorough critique, teaching Janessa various aspects of

acting.
