The students in Class One were always busy studying. They spent their days learning lessons and didn't have much time for anything else. Even though they came from important families and had great talents, they worked really hard. Madelyn really liked this kind of learning environment.Suddenly, Madelyn's table moved a bit as a girl sat on it. She had a long ponytail, curly brown hair, and a slim body. She was almost as tall as Madelyn. The girl peeked at Madelyn's chest and asked, "Why is your cup size so big? Do you eat a lot?" Then she remembered and said, "You're the new kid in our class, right? Your name is... Madelyn, isn't it?"Madelyn was surprised. She hadn't expected anyone in Class One to remember her name because no one really paid attention when she introduced herself. They were all busy with their own things."I'm Yvonne Young. Let's be friends! We can eat lunch together. What food do you like? It's on me."'Yvonne Young?' Madelyn thought, 'It sounds so familiar...' T

Propping her head up with her hand, Yvonne listened attentively to what Madelyn was saying."I know that girl, Jadie, right? She transferred to our school from Ventropolis High School after a fight," Yvonne said.Madelyn took a few bites of her risotto, which had vegetables and meat on the side. The dining area was nice, and the veggies were fresh. The meat, though, didn't taste very good; it wasn't seasoned well."Zach moved out and now lives with Jadie. If you want to know more about him, Jadie's the one to ask," Madelyn said carefully, watching Yvonne closely.Yvonne twirled her hair and made a face, "Don't you think she's kinda fake. You don't like Zach in that way too, right?"Without hesitation, Madelyn denied it, "No, he's my brother. I can't like him that way."Yvonne looked relieved and patted her chest, saying, "Oh, good! You scared me. I thought you were like Jadie. Now you're my best friend! Maybe we'll be family in the future."Madelyn smiled but stayed quiet. She t

Jadie bit her lip, feeling embarrassed. She turned to see Madelyn in the back seat. With a muffled voice, she said, "Sorry, Madelyn. I looked at your schedule today, and I thought you had evening classes, so I..."Madelyn didn't want to bother with this right now. She had no interest to see Jadie's expression either. Her cold had left her feeling a bit dizzy. With her eyes closed, she said, "It's okay, my fault." She then added, "Jordan, let's take Jadie to Zach's apartment.""Okay, Miss Jent."Jordan dared to speak his mind because he had worked for the Jent family for a long time; he was a reliable, diligent, and hardworking employee, and that was why Hayson kept using him.Jadie looked upset. "Jordan, just take me to Zach's office. I'll wait for Zach there. We have something to do."Jordan didn't directly answer Jadie. Instead, he glanced at Madelyn through the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss Jent, should we change the destination?"Madelyn murmured "uh-huh".Jadie looked do

After finishing dancing, Yvonne took the coat that a servant brought over and walked to Frida Young, saying, "Mom."Frida looked at her daughter, noticing a hint of unhappiness on her face. She patted Yvonne's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy on your birthday? The singers you like are all here for you. My little darling, don't cry. I'll introduce you to a few business partners."Yvonne furrowed her brows again and said, "Can I not go? I want to play with my classmates. It's always the same old faces anyway, and they keep asking this and that as soon as they see me. It's getting really annoying."The music played softly in the hall, and Yvonne's words were only heard by Frida."Alright, this is something you'll have to get used to in the future as the heir of our company."As the hosts of the event, the mother and daughter couldn't avoid mingling with the Young family's business partners, except the ones from the Arnold Corporation, even though Yvonne di

Madelyn glared at Forrest, who was standing there gloating over her. "Is this some kind of sick joke to you?!" Her ankle hurt a lot, and tears started forming in her eyes.Forrest leaned closer to meet her gaze. "Don't you think that it's fun? Serve you right!"In her mind, Madelyn thought, 'Every time I see him, something goes wrong.'Seeing Forrest here was a surprise. His mother was the reason Ethan's parents got divorced. Madelyn didn't think he would be invited.Madelyn felt uncomfortable and painful. She got up slowly, brushing dirt off her black dress. Thankfully, the dirt wasn't easy to see on it."This is just my luck!" Madelyn grumbled. She didn't want to argue anymore and was about to leave.But then Forrest called out impatiently from behind her. "Hey!"Ignoring him, Madelyn limped away. Forrest noticed her hurt ankle and asked, "Where do you think you're going? There's nothing ahead."Madelyn finally stopped in her tracks, realizing she had taken the wrong path. 'N
