Chapter 97
After they got into the car, Madelyn glanced at Natalie. She fell silent before asking, "Will Grandma Athena be okay if we just leave like this?"
Judging by Athena's attitude toward Yvonne, it was clear that she was utterly disappointed with Elijah.
Andrew pressed his lips together and didn't respond.
Recalling what happened earlier, Madelyn thought Natalie was dumb after seeing her kneel outside. How could Athena
possibly deal with her when she was already troubled with Easton's issues?
"Grandma knows what she's doing. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"
Madelyn nodded. "I'm fine."
Her injury wasn't severe, after all. The blood clots discovered in her brain appeared to be critical, but she hadn't had any issues all these years. It should be fine. Suddenly remembering something, Madelyn turned toward Andrew and said, "I called the police when I was outside the warehouse, but they never arrived." Andrew nodded. In fact, he was already aware of it. Still in Lovitale, Wilson was in charge of cleaning up the mess and rectifying everything involved. His phone rang when they were about to reach Sere
He glanced at the number, realizing that it was from the Miller
residence.
"Hello?"
"It's me." Athena's solemn voice came through the phone, and Andrew instinctively glanced at Madelyn.
Now, she finally understood what he meant earlier when he said Athena knew what she was doing.
Athena continued, "Release Easton. He won't come back again.
Andrew remained silent.
"This is the last time I'll request something from you," Athena added.
Easton was still her kin, after all. Despite her fury, she hadn't lost her rationale yet.
Andrew looked at Madelyn, but she turned toward the window instead. She was in no position to intervene in this matter.
Having stirred up so much trouble with Easton before, she didn't want to trouble Athena anymore. But she was worried that Andrew might misunderstand her. "Okay, I understand," Andrew replied, seeing that Madelyn
refused to look at him. He hung up promptly.
Silence enveloped the car. Madelyn suddenly placed her cool hand on top of Andrew's, and he instantly grabbed it.
"What were you thinking about earlier?"
Madelyn's heart skipped a beat. He was really astute,
managing to see right through her even though he had been speaking on the phone with Athena.
She drew in a deep breath and began, "You aren't aware that Easton has shares in Horizon International Group, right?"
The scrutiny in Andrew's gaze vanished, and his gaze turned intense. At the same time, a rush of glee welled up inside him.
Was she giving away Easton's strongest fallback?
Over the years, Easton had leveraged his position to secure numerous deals for Horizon International Group. He would be in deep waters if this were investigated.
Andrew's doubts about Madelyn's intentions at Lovitale were completely dispelled.
Noting his silence, Madelyn added, "He's been taking
advantage of his position to secure several major deals for Horizon International and even managed to secure just the right quotations for them."
There was no need to explain further. Andrew certainly knew what Horizon International Group meant to Easton, but he just hadn't acted on it. Little did he expect Madelyn to reveal such critical information to h She might be naughty, but she truly was adorable as well. She thought he didn't know!
"If you don't believe me. Madelyn said.
you can have someone investigate,"
Now that she'd already provided such crucial information, she hoped that Andrew would no longer doubt her relationship with Easton.
More importantly, she didn't want Andrew to break the law
because of her, even if it meant defeating Easton. It had to be done legitimately.
Seeing her anxious expression, Andrew chuckled. "Silly, when have I ever not believed you?"
