Chapter 2017 He Is Getting Old

Just before arriving at the Sheffield family's mansion, Jonathan asked all the Mercedes-Benz behind to stop and instructed overa dozen bodyguards to wait for his command, or if they couldn't reach him on his phone after an hour, they should break into themansion.

The bodyguards received the order, and the cars dispersed around two to three hundred meters around the mansion.Subsequently, Jonathan returned to the car. Noticing Madilyn was a little nervous, he reached out to wrap his hands around hers.

“Don't worry. I'll definitely take Mdm. Xander away today.” Jonathan's eyes shone with determination, prompting the anxiousnessin Madilyn's chest to dissipate gradually.

The mansion's gate was wide open, seemingly to welcome Madilyn home.The Rolls-Royce quickly drove in.

Meanwhile, inside the living room, Mildred caught sight of the Rolls-Royce and murmured, “Mr. Wilmer arrives so soon. Itappears he's quite eager to meet Madilyn too. Oh? He drives a new car, and it's a Rolls-Royce, no less. The Cheever family isindeed loaded.”

Norton nodded as well. He got to his feet and walked out to receive Wilmer while wearing a smile.Unexpectedly, after the car door was opened, the person who got out of the vehicle was Madilyn.

The grin on Norton and Mildred's faces froze.

They could hardly recognize Madilyn.

The Madilyn standing before them was no longer the girl they had disregarded more than a decade ago.

Her outfit, her clean and flawless complexion, and the faint otherworldly aura she exuded made it impossible for anyone toassociate her with the old Madilyn.

Mildred was especially astounded. Envy blazed within her eyes after she regained her senses. How could Lorraine's daughterundergo such a drastic transformation? She's like an ugly duckling turned into a swan.

As for Norton, he had initially worried that Madilyn's temperament wouldn't match Wilmer's and was planning to replace a makeupartist to give her a makeover when she returned.

Upon laying his eyes on her now, he realized that was absolutely unnecessary.

“Madilyn?” Norton called out gently.

Madilyn sized up Norton.

That man was no different from a complete stranger to her. She had only met him briefly twice more than a decade ago.At that time, all she witnessed was that man saying cruel things to her mother.

At that moment, seeing he had also aged with a head of white hair, Madilyn felt no sadness. Instead, an odd sense ofsatisfaction surged within her.

So, he grows old too! Growing old meant losing the looks of his youth that had caused my love-struck mother to be infatuatedwith him.

Fury flashed across her eyes as she regarded Norton with an icy gaze.

Then, she shifted her attention to Mildred.

Instantly, her anger reached its peak. Madilyn widened her eyes to glower at Mildred. This woman and her two daughters hadbullied me terribly in the past. My books, clothes, and snacks were all ruined by them.

“Mildred, it was your idea, wasn't it? To forcibly take my mother away to pressure me into returning here for the blind date?”Madilyn gritted her teeth while striding up to Mildred.

Startled, Mildred hurriedly turned to Norton. “Norton, look at your daughter. She's acting like she wants to kill me the moment shesees me.”

“Madilyn, what are you doing?” Norton bellowed, stepping in front of Mildred to stop Madilyn from approaching.Madilyn stopped in her tracks and sneered.

“Rest assured. | don't have time to take revenge on you. My purpose here today is to take my mother away. It will be best for usto have nothing to do with your family from now on.”

No matter what, Madilyn wanted to see her mother first and make sure the latter hadn't been mistreated.
