Chapter 39 Hardly Deserved Your Kindness âNo problem,â Yadiel readily agreed. âHow can I help you?â
Finished Madelyn said, âActually, after I finished writing that thesis that day, I was worried about unforeseen circumstances, so I a backup and sent it to my email. The email shows the time it was sent, which can serve as evidence. However, this obviously isnât enough.â
Having said that, Madelyn looked at Yadiel with a helpless gaze. âYadiel, could you perhaps help me check the surveillance footage?â
Yadiel paused, slightly confused. âWhat surveillance footage are you asking for?â
âI had checked in advance. The hallway of Professor Piersonâs office was under surveillance. Hence, if someone had tampered.
with anything, there would definitely be security footage. However Madelyn spoke, appearing somewhat troubled. âSince they had the audacity to switch out my thesis, they certainly would have made thorough preparations. Itâs highly likely that even the surveillance footage has already been destroyed. Yadiel, I have to rely on you for this matter. Could you please think of a way to help me obtain a copy of the surveillance footage!
Making a copy of the surveillance footage wasnât a big deal. However, Yadiel was somewhat puzzled. âBut you said it yourself.
The surveillance footage might have already been destroyed. How do you plan on investigating, then?â
Taking a deep breath, Madelyn pondered momentarily before speaking calmly and resolutely. âYadiel, donât worry. I have my ways to handle this.
Upon hearing that, Yadiel subtly nodded in response.
Yadiel suddenly found that Madelyn seemed to have changed a bit.
The Madelyn of the past was relatively carefree and wasnât as meticulous.
Even when wronged, all she did was vent her frustrations to Yadiel and then let it pass.
But now, she was determined to find a way to prove herself.
With a chuckle, Yadiel couldnât help but sigh, saying, âMadelyn, have you noticed? Youâve changed from before.â
Madelyn was taken aback. She let out an awkward laugh and said, âItâs not really like that, Yadiel. I just suddenly realized how terrible I was before, being unlearned and incompetent. I donât want to waste my life anymore. After all, we only live once.â
Moreover, this lifetime is an extra opportunity bestowed upon me by the heavens.
Given a second chance, Madelyn was determined not to repeat the past. She intended to return all the pain she had endured to those who had harmed her.
Upon noticing the transformation in Madelyn. Yadiel couldnât help but feel a surge of exhilaration and comfort.
In the end. Yadiel added, âIn that case, come find me to get the copy of the footage in the afternoon after school.â
âFantastic. Thank you, Yadiel,â Madelyn said with a vigorous nod.
Yadiel smiled in response.
Subsequently, Madelyn went back to the classroom.
As soon as she walked through the door, Felicityâs mocking voice echoed. âWell, well! Isnât this our classâs Ms. Genius? Iâm truly sorry for not welcoming you sooner!â
Upon hearing these words, Madelyn rolled her eyes at Felicity.
Felicity was startled by the cold stare, but she patted her chest, feigning surprise, and retorted, âOh my, if you have the guts to write such a thesis, donât you have the nerve to hear people talk about it? I really donât know where you get the nerve. How could youâve presented such a paper with pride? Just admit that you hired a ghostwriter. After all, given your level, we can understand why youâd have someone else write it for you. But you, you just had to shoot yourself in the foot, didnât you? Now look at the mess youâve made. Not only have you embarrassed yourself, but youâve also brought shame to the entire Department of Finance. Madelyn, do you even have a conscience?â
Chapter 39 Hardly Deserved Your Kindness As Felicity mocked, the surrounding classmates nodded in agreement Finished Meanwhile, Janessa, after contentedly watching from the sidelines for quite some time, stepped in once more to play the good Samaritan.
âFelicity, donât speak of Madelyn like that,â Janessa said pretentiously. âI believe Madelyn didnât hire a ghostwriter. Her good performance in the last test could have been due to an exceptional effort. All in all, I trust Madelyn. Sheâs definitely not the type to cheat. This must be a misunderstandingâ
However, Felicity merely scoffed. âJanessażyou certainly are loyal and devoted. Unfortunately, someone like her hardly deserves your kindness, donât you think?â
âMadelyn and I have always been besties. You canât talk about us like that.â Janessa continued to uphold her image as a loyal friend.
The two engaged in a lively exchange, with Janessa putting on an impeccable, pretentious act. Their other students were convinced of Janessaâs sincerity and righteousness, believing her to be a good girl.
Madelyn was unfazed as they watched them perform. She merely curled the corner of her lips into a faint sneer.
At that moment, seeing that she had achieved her goal and everyone was lavishing praises on her, Janessa feigned concern and comforted Madelyn, âMadelyn, please donât take Felicityâs words to heart. She tends to speak impulsively. Rest assured, I believe in you.â
Madelyn found her pretentious demeanor utterly nauseating.
She then gave a hollow laugh, brushing it off, saying, âThank you for believing in me. I knew it. You always treat me best.â
âOf course, weâre besties, after all,â Janessa said with a coquettish laugh.
After class ended, Madelyn was eager to acquire the surveillance footage from Yadiel, so she hastily gathered her things.
Without waiting for Janessa to approach, she promptly left.
While walking down the corridor, someone tugged at Madelyn.
When she turned around, she saw Jillian standing before her.
Jillian appeared somewhat uneasy, looking as though she wanted to say something but held back, which left Madelyn slightly puzzled.
âJillian, whatâs the matter?â
âI... Feeling slightly embarrassed, Jillian hesitated to speak. Nevertheless, she mustered her courage and said, âMadelyn, rest assured. No matter what others say about you, I believe you didnât do those things.
Upon hearing those words, Madelyn felt a sense of warmth filling her chest. Sheâs the first person to believe in me, aside from Yadiel Madelyn was moved by Jillianâs sincerity and responded with a heartfelt smile, âOkay. Thank you.â
After saying that, Madelyn quickly rushed to Yadielâs office.
âYadiel, have you finished copying the surveillance footage!â
Yadiel looked up. Seeing her approach, he flashed a bright smile. âThe surveillance footage from that afternoon when you entered the examination hall to the day the results were announced are all here.â
As he spoke, Yadiel picked up a box of videotapes from the table and handed it to Madelyn.
âHowever, the contents have indeed been thoroughly erased. Madelyn, what do you plan to do!â Yadiel looked at Madelyn with concern.
Upon receiving the videotapes, Madelyn unexpectedly smiled. âWith this surveillance footage, Iâve already won half the battle.
Even if the contents have been erased, it doesnât matter. I have a way to recover it.â
Of course. Madelyn didnât forget to express her gratitude repeatedly. âThank you. Yadiel. I really wouldnât have known what Chapter 39 Hardly Deserved Your Kindness to do without your help.â
Finished Yadiel gently ran his hand through her hair, his movements tender. âYouâre welcome. If you ever need help in the future. donât hesitate to ask.â
-All r âAll right, then. Iâll be going first.â Madelyn firmly nodded her head.
Afterward, she left the school and immediately hailed a cab outside, heading for Lockhart Group.
