Chapter 1263:

Madisyn considered this.

“Maybe we missed something. Estresa isn’t exactly home turf for us. Remember I mentioned having some contacts here? Give me a moment—I’ll see if they know something.”

“Alright.”

Wasting no time, Madisyn made a call to Healy.

In one of the most exclusive private rooms of Estresa’s top restaurant, Healy sat dressed to perfection, barely containing his excitement.

He never imagined that one day, J would summon him here. The thought of finally meeting the person he had admired for so long sent a thrill through him.

He checked his watch—ten minutes until the scheduled meeting. Just as he exhaled slowly, steadying himself, a knock sounded at the door. His eyes lit up instantly. Without hesitation, he stood and moved to open it.

“Mr. J… hey, Miss, who are you?” The delight dancing in Healy’s eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by his trademark composed demeanor.

Having recognized Healy from countless media appearances, Madisyn stepped forward.

“Mr. Welch, I’m the one who arranged today’s meeting. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

As she extended her hand, realization dawned on Healy—this was the mysterious J standing before him. Though caught off guard, he recovered swiftly, accepting Madisyn’s handshake with practiced grace.

“Miss J, please come inside.”

With practiced efficiency, Healy closed the private room door and settled beside Madisyn, graciously serving her coffee with the poise of a seasoned host.

“My sincerest apologies. I must admit, I hadn’t anticipated J being a lady.”

Madisyn dismissed his words with a gentle shake of her head.

“No need for apologies. The ambiguity was my doing. I’m Madisyn Johns, and I’ve come today hoping to gain insight into Estresa’s current situation.”

Healy’s posture shifted, taking on an air of dignified authority.

“Miss Johns, while the Welch family may not wield the influence it once did, our roots run deep in Estresa’s soil. Whatever knowledge you seek, I’ll share without reservation.”

“Alright.”

As Madisyn unveiled the mystery surrounding Lilian’s shadowy benefactor, Healy found himself at a loss. However, the mention of her friend Jared’s alliance with Lilian stirred genuine concern within him.

“Miss Johns, I’ll assist in uncovering this enigmatic figure’s identity. As for Mr. Cooper—he’s become quite the talk of Estresa lately. The masses have all but written his future as a Perkins family bridegroom. Truth be told, after the development project in the west of Estresa was halted, whispers abound that the Perkins family are poised to seize control. Yet something about this situation raises red flags. I pray your friend hasn’t been dazzled by the Perkins family’s glittering facade. To align with them is to dance with danger itself.”

Healy’s words carried the weight of genuine concern, born from the trust he’d placed in Madisyn.

She acknowledged his warning with a knowing nod.

“Your concern is appreciated, but unnecessary. He’s well aware of his actions.” Her gaze met Healy’s directly.
