NovelEnglishChapter 5 Across the lobby, Madisyn stood, her attire simple-a T-shirt and jeans-yet she carried herself with a poised grace that seemed to draw the eye.
Beside her was a man in a suit, his presence striking, though his features were obscured from Phyllis's view.
"Madisyn? What the hell is she doing here?" Phyllis murmured under her breath, her tone a mix of confusion and annoyance.
"The news about Ms.
Johns's arrival must have been leaked,” Jenna said with a facade of innocence, her voice low and tinged with curiosity.
"It seems Madisyn is also keen on learning from Ms.
Johns.
Perhaps she doesn't know yet that Madisyn has been kicked out of our home.
It looks like we might both end up as her students!" Phyllis's face clouded over with concern at Jenna's words.

However, Madisyn was already moving swiftly toward the Room of Emerald, the hotel's most exclusive and private room.
Phyllis was perplexed.
Why would Madisyn head to the Room of Emerald? Jenna, catching up, shared her mother's surprise.
"Mom, that room isn't just open to anyone.
It seems Madisyn is more connected than we thought.
She must have svery impressive friends.
" "What sort of friends could she possibly have?" Phyllis muttered bitterly, her mind racing with unfavorable assumptions.
Could it be that she somehow climbed up the ladder of society by seducing srich old man? That would put a grim stain on the Chapman family's reputation.
Disgust momentarily overtook her as she grappled with these thoughts, but there was little tto dwell.
With a sense of urgency, Phyllis pulled out her phone and dialed Lynda.
"Apologies, I'm currently handling an urgent matter.
" Lynda's voice was detached and brisk over the phone before she promptly ended the call.
Despondency overwheJenna, her spirits plummeting as she masked her face with her hands, tears trickling between her fingers. Jeffry encircled her with his arms, his voice imbued with gentle assurance.
"Don't worry, Jenna.
There'll be more opportunities.
We'll find another way.
" Meanwhile, Lynda placed her phone back on the cushion beside her.
Her brother Glenn had orchestrated an immediate family gathering following the discovery of his long-lost daughter.
"Madisyn must have been through a lot over the years," said Kristine Johns, sitting elegantly beside Lynda. She had striking features, exquisite makeup, and was dressed in a luxurious gown.

Though she projected the image of a refined lady, her expression betrayed e a deep-seated concern. Lynda responded thoughtfully, "I heard her former family had treated her quite well.
She might not have faced the hardships we imagine.
" Kristine's reply was laced with conviction.
"It's crucial that we extend our warmth and support to her.
"
Lynda affectionately stroked Kristine's head, taking@ide in her student's good character. Kristine was adopted by the Johns family.
Her acceptance of Madisyn highlighted her generous spirit and kindness.
She was not concerned that Madisyn's return would threaten her status.
In the corner, Elaine Johns sat quietly, her gaze fixed on the door, eager and expectant. Kristine caught the intensity of Elaine's gaze, feeling a stir of unease.
