Chapter 219
Leyton said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Arnold. We investigated all the vehicles that night. When we
found the car, it was in a scrapyard, but the person was nowhere to be found. Moreover, we couldn’t find any
information about that person. It’s as if someone deliberately concealed his identity. However, I don’t think this was
an accident.”
Ethan closed his eyes, “No need to investigate further. There’s no point in wasting time on someone like this.”
Ethan’s words held a deeper meaning, and Leyton felt he had been answered after hearing them.
Madelyn followed Zach downstairs. The two of them remained silent along the way. At the entrance, Madelyn saw
Jadie and Yvonne coming down.
Yvonne walked up to Madelyn, “Are you okay? I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have contacted Mr. Newton. It’s all because
that bastard Danny misunderstood, it’s got nothing to do with you. By I also managed to get your test paper back

the
way, amazing!”
She excitedly took the folded test paper from her pocket, “Did you know you ranked second in the exam? Oh my
god! Madelyn, you’re really incredible.”
Madelyn stared at the test paper in a daze and was struck speechless. ‘So I managed to get into the Math Olympiad
training class on my own merit. It wasn’t because of Yvonne’s help after all.
After learning this news, Madelyn felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. “T -Thank you.”
“Besides…” Yvonne nudged Madelyn with her elbow and chuckled, “My brother said not to burden yourself with
this. Danny has a mental illness, and his mother was in the advanced stages of kidney disease. Even if his mother
had money for treatment, she couldn’t have survived the surgery. Madelyn, it’s not your fault. Because of this, my
brother punished me too. He asked me to copy the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech three hundred times.”
“Really?”
‘Why does she feel so happy about being punished?’ Madelyn wondered.
“Yes! It’s the second thing my brother told me, so I was still happy despite being punished,” said Yvonne.
Jadie said, “I’m glad that you’re fine. Zach, is Danny getting imprisoned?”
Zach answered, “It’s close. We have to wait for the court’s verdict.”
He pondered to himself, ‘Six years? Ten years? That’s nothing. With Ethan Arnold and I
involved, Danny could be looking at a life sentence. At first, they aggressively demanded fifty thousand dollars, but
not only did they fail to receive a single cent, they even ended up losing everything they owned. After realizing they
had provoked someone they shouldn’t have, they fled with their tail between their legs. They came looking for
money, but they picked the wrong target.’
Suddenly, Madelyn noticed a group of familiar figures ahead. One of them had red hair, and another had green
hair, making them stand out. Forrest was among them too.

There was a man seated in a wheelchair while someone pushed him along. Madelyn recognized him as the one
Alex called Caden. He was only sixteen, an orphan who had grown up in the Fishing Village. His upbringing had
involved the care and support of many, allowing him to reach this age.
Back then, when Danny’s knife had been at her throat, he had rushed forward and tightly gripped Danny’s hand,
giving her a chance to escape.
Alex smacked Caden’s head, “Damn! I told you not to come over, but you insisted. Look, it wasn’t worth the effort!
Not only were you not compensated, but they didn’t even bother sparing a glance at you.”
“Alex, it’s okay as long as she’s fine. This injury won’t kill me.”
Caden had lived with Alex’s family since childhood, so Caden was like his younger brother.
Thinking about the heartless Madelyn, Alex could not help but become furious.
‘Ever since Caden was hospitalized, Madelyn hasn’t visited him even once. She didn’t even bother to say a simple
“thank you.” It would’ve been better if Caden had just let her die.’
