Sebastian, however, shook his head. โNo, the company has been piling up a lot of things that need to be dealt with these past few days. Iโll rest after I finish dealing with them. You should go to sleep first.โ
โAhโฆ Youโre still busy even at this late hour?โ Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldnโt 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, โI donโt care. Iโm only giving you two hours. Finish what you can within that time. Even if you canโt finish everything, promise me youโll rest afterward, all right?โ
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, โJust agree with me, or else, if you donโt sleep, neither will I. Iโll stay awake for as long as you do.โ
โOkay thenโฆโ
In the end, Sebastian could only surrender. After all, he couldnโt 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.
โWhy are you here so late?โ Madelyn asked, more surprised than welcoming.
With a gentle smile, Janessa said, โMadelyn, Iโve missed you these past couple of days when you were not around. I just wanted to see you.โ She paused before adding, โI also heard that Sebastian was injured. After all, weโre friends and I was a bit worried, so I thought Iโd come and visit.โ
โReally?โ Madelyn responded, her laughter tinged with a touch of absurdity. โI suspect your visit is just a pretense. The real reason is to see Sebastian, isnโt it?โ
Janessa hadnโt expected Madelyn to be so upfront. Immediately, her face turned red and she retorted angrily, โMadelyn, what nonsense are you spouting?!โ
โAh, just kidding around,โ 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. โOh, I forgot to tell you. Sebastian has already gone to rest.โ
โAh? Is that soโฆโ 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.
โMadelyn, you have no idea how much I envy you,โ she confessed. โWhile you were away, the professor gave a lot of assignments. It was rather annoying.โ
Upon hearing this, Madelyn seemed nonchalant. โOh please, werenโt you the one who loved studying the most?โ
โWhat good did my love for studying do? Jillian still snatched the top spot from me,โ 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, โOh, right, Madelyn, you havenโt been attending class recently. Would you like to borrow my notes? Iโve kept them quite comprehensive.โ
Upon hearing this, Madelyn immediately shook her head. โNo need, Jillian has already copied them down for me. I wouldnโt want to trouble you.โ
โSighโฆโ Upon hearing those words, Janessa suddenly let out a deep sigh, feigning complaint. โI really donโt understand how you became so close with Jillian. You used to be my best friend.โ
โOh?โ
Upon hearing these words, Madelyn let out a cold laugh. โDonโt play dumb with me. Surely, you know why Iโve been spending time with her.โ
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, โMadelyn, youโre not still upset with me over the past, are you? But you have to believe me, I really didnโt do it on purpose. I was also falsely accused.โ
Madelyn, however, continued to sneer coldly. Janessa, you have the audacity to say youโve been falsely accused?
However, Madelyn was not in the mood to listen to her ramblings. Her expression darkened immediately. โAll right, if you have nothing else, you should leave first. Iโve justโฆโ

However, she didnโt 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. โMadelyn!โ
โWhatโs wrong? Is there something else?โ Madelyn turned around on the stairs.
Janessa chuckled lightly. โItโs nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that my fatherโs birthday is coming up. When the time comes, could you possibly attend with Sebastian?โ
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 Scarletโs 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 fatherโs 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 couldnโt help but reproach herself. She had indeed been an accomplice to the tyranny back then!
โMadelyn?โ Janessa suddenly called out.
Madelyn snapped back to reality in an instant. Looking at Janessa, Madelyn thought to herself. Sheโs 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, โSure, Sebastian and I will definitely be there.โ
โReally?โ Upon hearing these words, Janessaโs face immediately broke into a delighted smile. โMadelyn, I knew it. Youโve always been the best to me,โ she said.
Madelyn responded with an insincere smile. โNo need for thanks. Itโs 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 itโs your fatherโs birthday, our family certainly wouldnโt be stingy.โ Reborn to My Engagement Night
