Chapter 273
The CEO of Arnold Corporation seldom made public appearances. Private cars with chauffeurs for
pick-up and drop-off were a common sight at the school entrance. The unique markings on the
license plate indicated that the car belonged to the Arnold family. When they saw it, everyone
made their way, even in the congestion.
Madelyn got out of the car, and the people around were surprised when they saw her. Everyone in
Ventrocloud High School knew she was close friends with Forrest Arnold, the illegitimate son of
the Arnold family. However, they did not know that she also had connections with the heir of the
Arnold family. Now, the CEO of Arnold Corporation sent Madelyn to school personally. It implied
that she was already part of the Arnold family. Just by this alone, no one would dare to offend her.
Facing the gazes from the crowd, Madelyn felt uncomfortable all over. “I’m going to class now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan nodded, “All right, I’ll pick you up after school.”
“Okay.” Madelyn still had evening self-study sessions, and her dismissal time was nearly the
same as his work-ending time. So, she had no choice but to accept if Ethan wanted to pick her up.
Meanwhile, Yvonne, who witnessed this scene, wasn’t surprised. She simply had mixed feelings about it. After the
previous incident, Ethan was worried that Madelyn might distance herself from
him because of their relationship. So, he gave Yvonne a stern warning at the Young residence.
However, to Yvonne, she was just reprimanding the ungrateful Forrest on his behalf.
‘Mom wants me to handle the relationship with Ethan well. I was able to have a good conversation with him last
time, all thanks to Madelyn. However, things have turned sour between Madelyn and me because of Forrest. Now, I
don’t know how to initiate a conversation with Madelyn.’
“Mr. Jardin, will Madelyn still return after going to the Arnold residence?” Yvonne asked.
Zach’s eyes darkened. “This isn’t something you should be worrying about. Go to class. Don’t be late.”
“All right.”
As Madelyn walked past the hallway of Class Six, she saw Forrest. He was still wearing short sleeves with one hand
in his pocket, exuding a confidence and rebellious demeanor. He casually flung his backpack over his shoulder,
raised his chin, and seemed to disregard everyone around him.
Without seeing him for a few days, he appeared unchanged from before still maintaining his
carefree attitude. As he approached, Forrest glanced down and brushed past her without
acknowledging her.
“Forrest!” Madelyn stopped and turned around Forrest did the same so
“Where’s your transcript?” Madelyn inquired At the same time, Jadie and Yvonne happened to
pass by.
Forrest impatiently took a piece of paper from his backpack and stuffed it into a classmate’s hands who was beside
him. His follower handed the transcript to Madelyn with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadelyn glanced at Forrest skeptically, and then her gaze fell back on the transcript Her brow
furrowed as she looked at it. His highest score was in Maths out of the six subjects However, it
was out of 150 points, and the passing grade was 92. While he only scored 67, the other subjects
were all below 67.
‘I’ve been tutoring him for almost a month, and he still failed all the subjects after that. What on
earth has he been doing all these days?’ Madelyn was so frustrated that she did not know what to
say.
Forrest’s follower on the side grinned and said, “Madelyn, Forry did pretty well in this exam. He moved up about
seven or eight ranks in the class. He made progress!”
‘He isn’t aiming for Ventropolis University. With these scores, even getting into a decent
university would be challenging. Madelyn felt she had put in much effort for Forrest, but he had not lived up to
expectations.
She returned the transcript, and her voice grew stern, “Forrest, don’t forget what you told me!”
‘At this rate, it would be pointless even if I dedicate all my time to him.’ Madelyn left and returned to the classroom.
“Forry, she seems angry. However, you did well in the exams, didn’t you? Your scores were all higher than mine.”
He scored in the single digits for each subject, with a two-digit total score.
