Forrest tapped his plate with a skewer stick and said, “Stop interrupting. I’m asking you a question!” Madelyn
answered, “It’s nothing. My brother had a stomachache, so I accompanied him to the hospital.”
When Madelyn lied, she lowered her head and avoided looking at others. Forrest knew this and deduced something
from this, ‘After strolling around the street market and having eaten so much, she ended up at the hospital that
night. She probably got food poisoning.”
Then, Forrest shouted at the stall owner, “Cancel the other food we ordered.” “Why!? I’m not full yet!” Madelyn
shouted back at him.
“I’m going to bring you somewhere with better food,” Forrest said.
“Then you should have left some for me,” Madelyn said. Suddenly, Forrest grabbed a fistful of barbecue skewers
before running off. He had left Madelyn with only a half- eaten sausage in her hand. The stall owner quickly came

“It’s fine, I’ll pay. How much is it?” Madelyn said. The stall owner did some calculations and said, “Ten dollars.”
Madelyn took out her wallet and paid before following Forrest. Forrest had slowed down his pace and seemed to be
waiting for her. Many students usually hung around this spot, and everyone saw Madelyn walking with Forrest and
eating nachos together.
“Could they be in a relationship!?” one of the students exclaimed. Another answered, “It might be possible. Didn’t
you notice that Forrest kept going to Class One last semester? Once school ended, they would even go to the library
together.” “I actually think they look quite good together,” yet another student said.
“But I heard from my father that the Jent family formed a connection with the heir of the Arnold Corporation, who’s
only been in his position for less than a year. Back when there were rumors regarding Madelyn, she got suspended
but still returned to school afterward. In fact, she was even sent to school by that very same Arnold Family heir,”
Another student explained.
“My god, is that true? That means Madelyn’s got some real game! She has the number one magnate family of
Ventropolis under her very thumb!” The student exclaimed.
On the other hand, Forrest had taken her to a seafood shop with a better environment. There were all types of fish
there and numerous ways to cook them. The meal cost more than two hundred bucks, and Forrest paid for it all.
Madelyn took a hundred bucks from her wallet and gave it to him, “I can’t have you pay for everything. Let’s go
Dutch for this meal!”
“Yo, why are you being so polite with me, Madelyn? I’ll take it anyway,” Forrest said. Madelyn was afraid he would
refuse it, so she was relieved when he accepted.
At the same time, a suspicious person stood in the shadows, focusing a camera lens and taking pictures of Madelyn
and Forrest entering the shop for a meal. They then sent the photo to a certain email address.

At the Arnold Corporation, Ethan saw the picture that had been sent over, and his expression darkened. Leyton
said, “Mr. Arnold, there’s been news from Avalon. She’s escaped from the hospital by herself. The bodyguards who
were watching her are unable to track her.”
Ethan loosened the tie on his neck and said, “Keep track of the recent domestic flight schedules. Once you get
news of her, send her back immediately.
He continued, “If she won’t listen to reason, then recall all her bodyguards and let her fend for herself in Avalon!”
Leyton nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Arnold!” Ethan thought, ‘Haven’t you learned your lesson from last night’s
incident, Forrest?’
He looked at the pictures of Madelyn. She was smiling from the heart and was more relaxed than he had ever seen
her. They were in front of the stalls,
eating skewers and drinking cokes. There were also pictures of them at the restaurant, where Forrest even helped
her remove the fish bones and brought her food.
They were like a couple madly in love. In the eyes of the public, they looked like a match made in heaven. He had
never seen Madelyn smile so happily
