The following day, at campus, Madelyn continued to attend class as usual. After class, she would chat and hang around with Jillian and Josiah, among others.

During their playful scuffle, Jillian noticed the wound on Madelyn’s hand, immediately growing anxious. “Madelyn, what happened to you? How did you get hurt again?”

With a helpless sigh, Josiah watched from the side. It’hat nonsense is this woman up to now? She’s simply beyond brip-

h’s nothing serious, just a minor scrape. There’s no need to worry, Madelyn said with a light laugh. choosing not to claborate further.

Since the matter had already been resolved, there was no need to explain further to the two of them to avoid unnecessary worry.

That afternoon, once classes were over, the group, as usual, went to the combat training center to practice.

Upon arriving at the combat training center, they noticed a group of female coaches huddled together, seemingly engrossed in some juicy piece of gossip.

“Have you heard? Coach York has resigned!”

“No way! I remember Coach York has always been doing a great job. Why would she suddenly quit?”

“Who knows? Coach York’s martial arts skills are indeed beyond reproach. However, I heard her character isn’t that great.”

“That’s true. A while back, she actually let the students gang up on Coach Wendel’s students. How good can her character be?”

“I actually think it’s better that she left. This way, there’s one less person competing with us for Coach Wendel

“You’re right about that. Haha!”

A group of people were whispering amongst themselves, each one brimming with curiosity and eager for

gossip.

Immediately, Josiah gave Madelyn a peculiar look. “What did you do to Lindsay?”

Intuition told Josiah that Lindsay’s resignation was undoubtedly indirectly related to Madelyn.

Madelyn found it amusing. “What does her resignation have to do with m

This woman sure knows how to make a swift exit. Aware that she can’t handle the situation, she simply chooses to hide. That’s a sign of intelligence. However, since the person had already fled, Madelyn didn’t dwell on the matter any longer. After all, justice had already been served.

Following that, the group went off to practice martial arts.

time, which indeed had been somewhat troubling for Maxton. Now that she has quit her job, at the very least, I won’t have to deal with that woman anymore. It isn’t such a bad thing, after all.

Later on, the training was completed.

After everyone had packed up their belongings and returned to their respective homes, Madelyn also made her way back to the Thorton residence.

Upon entering, she saw her father, Derek, sitting on the couch, pouring a few brown medicinal pills into his palm. Soon after, a housekeeper brought over a cup of plain boiled water.

At that time, Eunice was seated next to Derek, her eyes wide and full of anticipation as she gazed at him.

Oh no! Madelyn’s brows furrowed. An instinctive feeling told her that was definitely not any kind of beneficial medicine..

With that in mind. Madelyn strode forward without hesitation. She snatched the few pills from Derek’s hand and, without a shred of courtesy, tossed them ruthlessly into the trash bin.

Madelyn’s voice was laced with barely suppressed anger. “Dad, isn’t there still some of the medicine I bought for you left! Why have you started taking new ones haphazardly?”

“I’m just-

Derek opened his mouth, ready to explain, but his words were promptly intercepted by Eunice.

“Madelyn, what’s the meaning of this? I worked so hard to get this medicine for Dad. How could you just throw it away? Eunice angrily voiced her dissatisfaction.

Madelyn scoffed outright. The medicine I’ve bought for Dad is of high quality!”

“You! Immediately, Eunice saw red, her voice loud with indignation. “Just because you bought good medicine, does it mean mine isn’t? Madelyn, I know you’ve had issues with me since we were kids, but that doesn’t give you the right to bully me!”

As she spoke, Eunice suddenly burst into tears, confronting Derek with a raw outpouring of emotion. “Dad, you’ve only just divorced Mom, and now you won’t accept the things I buy for you? Do you only have Madelyn in your heart? I’m clearly your daughter, too,” she sobbed.

As she wept, tears welled up and rolled down her cheeks like pearls.

Madelyn felt a wave of nausea deep within her. “Cut the act, Eunice. Is it really that fun to be so insincere every day?”

“Why am I being accused of being insincere? My parents divorced. Am I not even allowed to cry?” Eunice’s sobs grew even louder.

At that moment, Derek was observing the two sisters bickering, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Feeling compelled, he stepped forward and patiently coaxed, “Maddie, stop this fuss. Regardless of how effective this medicine is, Eunice was just trying to show her filial piety.“.

As he s

spoke, he tidied up the excess medicine on the table. Derek said in a serious and heartfelt tone, “Don’t

Madelyn watched the scene unfold, suddenly finding it absurd, and anger surged within her. “What a show of filial piety! Dad, since you think Eunice is so dutiful, let me show you just how corrupted her heart really

is!”

soon as she finished speaking, Madelyn swiftly opened her bag and promptly pulled out the report from the last time she had inspected the illegal drugs.

“Dad, take a good look at this. This is the calming medicine that Eunice and her mother gave you last time, I had it specifically tested, and the ingredients added to it are not pure at all. Moreover, one of the components in it has already been banned in Japrium!”

“What?”

Upon hearing Madelyn’s words, Derek was taken aback. He took the report and glanced at it. Indeed, he found illegal drugs in the composition of the medicine..

Yet, he was quite puzzled. “But I found that calming medicine quite effective, though.”

Madelyn then said, “Dad, the doctor mentioned that this medication initially tends to calm one’s nerves. However, over time, it can lead to symptoms like dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and frequent occurrences of strokes. If taken for a prolonged period, it could even…”

Madelyn didn’t need to say the words that followed. Derek knew what she meant.

He was instantly taken aback, looking at Eunice in disbelief. “Eunice, is what Madelyn is saying true?”

Eunice was instantly thrown into a state of panic, and she quickly got angry out of embarrassment. She pointed at Madelyn and roared, “Madelyn, you better not spout nonsense! How could I possibly give Dad that kind of medicine?”

“Talking nonsense, am I?” Madelyn suddenly burst into laughter. “All right, then. If you think I’m just spouting nonsense, why don’t we take those drugs and have them tested again?”

Eunice’s heart gave a fierce jolt.

She knew very well what those medicines were, and they couldn’t possibly pass an inspection.

After a moment of dizziness, Eunice could only use anger to mask her confusion. “Fine, Madelyn. I see it now. You just can’t stand to see me having a good relationship with Dad!”

Afterward, she directly snatched the remaining medicine from Derek’s hands, deliberately putting on an act of being treated wrongly.
