Chapter 489
“She hasn’t been to class? What has she been doing?” Ethan inquired.
Leyton replied, “She’s been in the school’s art studio. But as far as I know, she has also applied for the entrance
exam for Ventropolis College of Art. The exam is scheduled for next month. If she scores first, she’ll get a direct
admission offer. However, this year, over three million students applied for art majors, but there are only 230 spots
available. Getting the top score won’t be easy.”
“Regardless of whether she gets in or not, even if she doesn’t further her study, I can afford to take care of her.

the company.”
In the classroom, as Madelyn walked down the hallway, she overheard a group of students whispering.
“Madelyn is really lucky! I thought she and Ethan were done, but in the blink of an eye, she’s become the future
Mrs. Arnold. I wonder how many people envy her now.”
“Didn’t Ethan Arnold cheat on her? She hasn’t been to school for a while, and who knows if she used some method

“If we’re going to blame anyone, it’s that we don’t look as good as she does. My mom told me Madelyn’s mother
used to be the top socialite in Ventropolis and was drop–dead gorgeous. I even heard that my dad used to dance
with her.”
“No way!” someone exclaimed.
“It’s true. When she died, many wives in the elite circle of Ventropolis were in immense joy. It was said that with just
a flick of her finger, she could lure any men into her bed, be it powerful, influential, or even married men.”
“Wow, Madelyn really takes after her mother! An innate seductress.”
“Well, even if she is a seductress, at least she has the qualifications. But some people are not only ugly but also love
to spread rumors. I think… maybe they shouldn’t even bother going to school anymore and just become
paparazzi.” Lem appeared out of nowhere, extending his legs to block the gossipers, accompanied by Kennedy,
who carried a backpack.
“Which class are you three from? Where are your school badges? Why aren’t you wearing them? Be careful; I
might deduct points from you,” Lem warned.
Lem was the head of the Student Council’s Supervision Department, and Kennedy, the Student Council President,
also served as the Deputy Head of the Supervision Department, responsible for managing various school matters.
Their performance in school also affected whether they could graduate smoothly.
“Madelyn, what do you think?” Lem extended two fingers and gestured toward Madelyn.
“It’s not my concern.”
Upon hearing Madelyn’s voice, the people who had been badmouthing her suddenly stiffened and looked pale.
‘When did Madelyn appear behind us? Oh no… she must have heard everything we said.‘
“Apologize.”
The three immediately turned around and bowed repeatedly to Madelyn. “Sorry, sorry… we won’t dare again.”
Madelyn said, “You may go, but please don’t insult my mother.”
“Yes, yes, we were just being foolish. We’re really sorry.”
Madelyn looked at Lem, her expression softening slightly as she nodded in gratitude.
Lem raised an eyebrow as if to say, ‘It’s no big deal!‘
Today, the grades were posted on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and Madelyn’s seat had been

It was hard to believe that she, once ranked second in the class, had now become dead last.
Even if she was the lowest–ranking student in the class, no one dared to mock her.
After all, she was the future Mrs. Arnold. No matter how high their grades were or how much power they had, could
they compare to the Arnold family? They might have to watch their tone around her in the future.
Madelyn said, “Thank you…”
Lem picked up Madelyn’s desk and placed it against the wall with a pat. “It’s no big deal. If you don’t understand
any of your grades, just come to me, and I’ll teach you.”
“Okay.”
As the words fell, Kennedy brought over a stack of books and placed them on Madelyn’s desk. “You might not need
these; take a look at your own.”
Jadie also approached, saying, “These are the notes I made for you during the days you were absent. I don’t know
if they’ll help, but I hope they can assist you in your upcoming exams.”
