Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 316

Understanding the implication, Madisyn continued, “Kristine’s father once saved you, Dad.

I can understand if you don’t want her to end up in prison.

Perhaps you can send her to another country instead.

It might give her a chance to start anew.

”

Glenn was taken aback by her insight.

This was indeed what he was contemplating, but he wasn’t sure how to discuss it with Madisyn, given Kristine’s actions were undeniably unforgivable.

He really didn’t want to forgive Kristine, but he couldn’t ignore the kindness his old friend had shown.

If his old friend knew Kristine was in prison, it would deeply upset him.

“Madisyn, are you okay with this?” Glenn cautiously asked.

“If you don’t agree, we can proceed with sending her to prison.

After all, she does deserve it.

”

Madisyn, maintaining her seriousness, replied, “Her parting ways with the Johns family is punishment enough.

There’s no need to send her to prison.

Just send her abroad, and it will take care of itself.

”

“Alright,” Glenn agreed, taking Madisyn’s hand with gratitude.

“Thank you for your understanding.

”

Madisyn smiled, knowing that if Kristine were imprisoned, Glenn would carry the burden of guilt for betraying an old friend.

In truth, Kristine’s situation was quite pitiful-both her parents were gone, and living in a foreign country would force her to fend for herself.

That alone would be a harsh punishment.

After breakfast, Glenn and Elaine made their way to the police station.

When they finally saw Kristine, she looked like a completely different person.

The days of detention had taken a toll on her-she was thinner, her hair unkempt, and her eyes hollow.

Upon hearing their decision, Kristine fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.

“Dad, Mom, I’ve spent these days reflecting on everything.

I know I’ve been wrong.

You gave me a chance to Live a wonderful life, and I threw it away.

Worse, I tried to harm Madisyn.

I’ve been such a fool.

” Through her sobs, she continued, “Thank you for the opportunity.

I’ll do my best to make the most of it out there.

And if the chance comes, I promise I’ll repay you.

”

Her crying was so intense that it was hard to tell if her tears were genuine or not.

Elaine sighed and handed her a card.

“Someone’s waiting for you outside.

Go on.

”

Kristine took the card, her voice caught in her throat, nodded, and slowly walked away.

Meanwhile, Madisyn headed to the office.

“Madisyn, did you arrange for Evie to join in that singing competition?” Liza appeared just as Madisyn settled into her chair, her sharp features contorted with even more annoyance.

“You know Evie hadn’t done well in school, right? Don’t you realize that if she embarrasses herself, it could damage our company’s reputation?”

Teresa chimed in, “Liza, please don’t be upset.

I’m sure Madisyn has a plan.

Who knows? Maybe Evie could actually place in the competition.

”

Liza scoffed.

“That’s absurd! If Evie had any talent, she wouldn’t have been so irrelevant for this long.

” Her contempt was clear as she glared at Madisyn.

“You’re completely clueless.

I have no idea why the company even hired you.

”

Madisyn met Liza’s gaze with an icy stare.

“The results aren’t out yet.

How can you be so certain she will embarrass us?”

Liza shot back, “It’s obvious what the outcome will be.

If she doesn’t achieve a good ranking, you should consider leaving the company.

”

The office fell silent, everyone shocked by the severity of Liza’s words.

Madisyn, unfazed, responded, “Fine.

But if Evie makes it into the top three, will you agree to leave instead?”

The tension between them was palpable, as if a single word could ignite a full-blown confrontation.
