Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 197 Let Her Be Jealous Finished

Sebastian, however, shook his head. “No, the company has been piling up a lot of things that need to be dealt with these past few days. I’ll rest after I finish dealing with them. You should go to sleep first.”

“Ah… You’re still busy even at this late hour?” Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. She had to admit, she finally understood where his past reputation as a workaholic had come from.

However, considering his health, Madelyn stubbornly added, “I don’t care. I’m only giving you two hours. Finish what you can within that time. Even if you can’t finish everything, promise me you’ll rest afterward, all right?”

Sebastian, however, was somehow hesitant. There was so much work left unattended. Two hours were not enough.

In the end, Madelyn showed her stubborn side, pleading, “Just agree with me, or else, if you don’t sleep, neither will I. I’ll stay awake for as long as you do.”

“Okay then…”

In the end, Sebastian could only surrender. After all, he couldn’t bear to see this girl going through unnecessary troubles for his sake.

Following that, Sebastian went up to his study to attend to his work. Madelyn watched his retreating figure, finally feeling a sense of satisfaction.

At that moment, the doorbell unexpectedly rang, and Madelyn went to answer it. Unexpectedly, the one standing outside the door turned out to be Janessa.

At that moment, Janessa was standing at the door, donned in a blue dress, with a radiant smile on her face.

“Why are you here so late?” Madelyn asked, more surprised than welcoming.

With a gentle smile, Janessa said, “Madelyn, I’ve missed you these past couple of days when you were not around. I just wanted to see you.” She paused before adding, “I also heard that Sebastian was injured. After all, we’re friends and I was a bit worried, so I thought I’d come and visit.”

“Really?” Madelyn responded, her laughter tinged with a touch of absurdity. “I suspect your visit is just a pretense. The real reason is to see Sebastian, isn’t it?”

Janessa hadn’t expected Madelyn to be so upfront. Immediately, her face turned red and she retorted angrily, “Madelyn, what nonsense are you spouting?!”

“Ah, just kidding around,” Madelyn immediately chuckled, trying to play it off. This woman is really well-informed.

Madelyn scoffed to herself. She sure is eager to see him.

She then laughed. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Sebastian has already gone to rest.”

“Ah? Is that so…” Janessa was clearly somewhat disappointed.

However, since she was already there, it was only natural to exchange a few pleasantries. Thus, they began to chat intermittently.

“Madelyn, you have no idea how much I envy you,” she confessed. “While you were away, the professor gave a lot of assignments. It was rather annoying.”

Upon hearing this, Madelyn seemed nonchalant. “Oh please, weren’t you the one who loved studying the most?”

“What good did my love for studying do? Jillian still snatched the top spot from me,” Janessa suddenly said, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

The thought of Jillian always securing the first place made her feel uneasy all over.

Madelyn watched from the side, finding the situation rather amusing. She thought to herself, how ridiculous it was for someone to blame others for their own incompetence. And to think they had the audacity to believe they were in the right?

However, on the surface, Madelyn merely offered a faint smile, without uttering a word.

Then, as if something suddenly came to mind, Janessa enthusiastically said, “Oh, right, Madelyn, you haven’t been attending class recently. Would you like to borrow my notes? I’ve kept them quite comprehensive.”

Upon hearing this, Madelyn immediately shook her head. “No need, Jillian has already copied them down for me. I wouldn’t want to trouble you.”

“Sigh…” Upon hearing those words, Janessa suddenly let out a deep sigh, feigning complaint. “I really don’t understand how you became so close with Jillian. You used to be my best friend.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn let out a cold laugh. “Don’t play dumb with me. Surely, you know why I’ve been spending time with her.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Janessa suddenly recalled the several instances in the past where she had inadvertently set Madelyn up. Her body immediately tensed, and she hastily apologized, “Madelyn, you’re not still upset with me over the past, are you? But you have to believe me, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was also falsely accused.”

Madelyn, however, continued to sneer coldly. Janessa, you have the audacity to say you’ve been falsely accused?

However, Madelyn was not in the mood to listen to her ramblings. Her expression darkened immediately. “All right, if you have nothing else, you should leave first. I’ve just…”

However, she didn’t care at all. If she was so prone to jealousy, then let her be consumed by it.

Then, Madelyn turned around and went upstairs. Finished

Watching her silhouette, Janessa felt a pang of jealousy and resentment as she thought about her going upstairs to rest with Sebastian.

Suddenly, a voice called out from behind. “Madelyn!”

“What’s wrong? Is there something else?” Madelyn turned around on the stairs.

Janessa chuckled lightly. “It’s nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that my father’s birthday is coming up. When the time comes, could you possibly attend with Sebastian?”

Upon hearing those words, Madelyn was momentarily taken aback, with memories suddenly flooding her mind.

In her previous life, Janessa had achieved her ultimate goal through her cunning tactics. Not only did she seize the entire Sherritt family fortune, but she even ended up causing Scarlet’s death.

Even Rupert was so infuriated that he fell ill and never recovered. Tragically, he ended up in the hospital, where from then on, he fell into comatose.

And all these tragedies all began with that birthday party in the previous life.

That day, during her father’s birthday party, Janessa unexpectedly revealed her identity as an illegitimate daughter. Everyone was taken aback, and Rupert and Scarlet were absolutely livid. However, in the end, everyone had no choice but to accept her presence as the young lady of the Sherritt family.

Back then, upon hearing her words, Madelyn took Sebastian with her. He even spoke up for her when she publicly revealed her identity, which only further solidified her position as the young lady of the Sherritt family.

Looking back, Madelyn couldn’t help but reproach herself. She had indeed been an accomplice to the tyranny back then!

“Madelyn?” Janessa suddenly called out.

Madelyn snapped back to reality in an instant. Looking at Janessa, Madelyn thought to herself. She’s going to resort to the same old trick again.

However, in this life, things would not turn out as Janessa wished.

So, Madelyn laughed heartily and said, “Sure, Sebastian and I will definitely be there.”

“Really?” Upon hearing these words, Janessa’s face immediately broke into a delighted smile. “Madelyn, I knew it. You’ve always been the best to me,” she said.

Madelyn responded with an insincere smile. “No need for thanks. It’s only fair to return a favor. The Sherritt family has always been generous to our family. When my grandmother celebrated her seventieth birthday, the gifts you sent were far from cheap. Now that it’s your father’s birthday, our family certainly wouldn’t be stingy.” Reborn to My Engagement Night
