Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 265 You Must Help

Madelyn gave a start upon hearing that.

Finished

Her trip to Rodunst was kept under wraps. She hadn't told anyone, so no one should have known. How could

someone be knocking at my door at such a late hour? Don’t tellsomething supernatural will happen when

the clock strikes midnight like in horror films....

Fear gripped Madelyn as she thought about that

At that moment, the knocking on the door resumed, growing increasingly intense. Knock! Knock! Knock!

Madelyn hid under the covers, thinking of ignoring the noise, but the persistent knocks got on her nerves. Finally,

she couldn't take it anymore and threw off the covers, getting out of bed to see what was going on.

She moved toward the door, peering through the peephole. To her surprise, she saw Grimo.

She immediately opened the door and sure enough, there stood the towering figure of Grimo r - before her. His

appearance was so sudden that for a moment, she thought she was dreaming.

Grimo fixed his enchanting green eyes on Madelyn and flashed a devilish smile. “It really you. We meet again.”

She was astonished. “How did you know | was here? | didn’t tell anyone.”

“Yeah. you didn’t, but Adelar spotted you at the bar just now. He wasn’t sure if it was you, so | cpersonally

to check. It’s a surprise that we meet again.” After Grimo finished speaking, a subtle, meaningful smile played at

the corners of his mouth.

For reasons he couldn't quite comprehend, seeing Madelyn again brought him a touch of joy.

“Fine...” Madelyn didn’t know what to say, thinking to herself how unlucky she was to be seen by Adelar.

Opening the door, she said, “Someone will notice you if you continue standing there. Con in.”

The two of them settled into the two armchairs within the room.

Madelyn didn’t feel comfortable being alone with another man in the dead of night, so instead of wasting ton

small talk, she bluntly asked as soon as they sat down, “Why'd you clooking for me?”

Grimo was amused by her attitude. “You don’t seem thrilled to see me.”

“Not at all.” Madelyn’s expression stiffened awkwardly as she pressed on, “You haven't answered my question

yet. Why did you clooking for me?”

Grimo chuckled and got straight to the point. “To be honest, | chere to find the traitor. You should know who

she is, right?”

“Of course, didn’t | tell you that?” Madelyn smiled. The traitor they were talking about was naturally Violet.

“Before this, | didn’t understand why my most trustedesistant, who had been withfor so many years, would

suddenly betray me. But then | found out... she had long been bribed by Hellfire Creed.”

paused, a bitter smile creeping onto his face as he sighejl. “Aside from Adelar, she was the perso

the most. Yet she betrayed me. This saddeneddeeply, and I'm also furious. So, she has to die.”

Madelyn was puzzled. “But isn’t Hellfire Creed still conducting business with you? Why would they conspire with

your assistant, even going as far as destroying an arsenal, just to burn bridges with you? It doesn’t seem like

they’d benefit from this in any way, does it?”

Grimo’s face darkened, a storm brewing in his green eyes.

“Actually, a long tago, we and the Hellfire Creed had always been at odds. However, as twent on, due to

our mutual collaboration, the animosity between us gradually faded... Grimo was immersed in past memories as

he told Madelyn everything.

Over the years. Hellfire Creed had seemingly mended their relationship with Grimo’s gang, often conducting

business with them. Hence, Grimo had long since put aside the grudges of the past.

No one expected Hellfire Creed to be so cruel and cunning. Even though they appeared to be collaborating with

Grimo on the surface, they never forgot the grudges of the past. Not only did they conspire with Grimo’s most

capable assistant, Violet, but they also found out about the location of Grino’s arsenal. They waited for the

opportune moment to viciously stab him in the back.

But Grimo was not

ot to be trifled with.

He wouldn't hurt others, but if anyone dared to cross him, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless and unforgiving.

Moreover, Grimo, who had always hated traitors, wouldn't let Violet get away, let alone Hellfire Creed

After relating everything, Grimo’s blood boiled.

-So, that’s how it is...” Madelyn was filled with emotion upon hearing about the story, but all she could do was let

out a helpless sigh. “So, what do you plan to do? I'm a weak and powerless woman, so I'm afraid | can’t be of

much help to you.”

Grimo looked at Madelyn solemnly. “No, you can help and you must. Because the group of people you saved last

tdisguised as Morgana have also gotten involved.”

“What?” Suddenly, Madelyn’s heart sank.

| thought | saved Sebastian, Wesley, and Harriet last time. Wasn't that already settled? Why does it involve

Hellfire Creed again?

Madelyn quickly asked, “Grimo, what on earth is going on?”

“Do you not know?” Grimo retorted.

“What do | know?” Madelyn was utterly confused.

Grimo suddenly laughed. “This is why I've cto find you. From what I've heard, your friends have also been

looking for someone. A few days ago, one of your group got stabbed because of this matter. The injury was quite

serious, | believe.”

As he spoke, he narrowed his green eyes, as if lost in thought. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something

and said, “Oh, right, | think the woman’s nis... Harriet?”

It's Harriet!

Madelyn’s expression turned grim.

Initially, she assumed that Sebastian's urgent business trip was simply due to scompany issues. However, it

now appeared that things were far from being that simple.

“How did things end up like this?” Madelyn couldn't help but frown. The situation had escalated significantly.

Grimo looked at Madelyn with a playful expression. “Your fiancé got involved yesterday. | assthat’s why you

rushed over here. You're here to find him, right?”

Madelyn’s face flushed red when her thoughts were exposed. However, she didn’t deny it.

Grimo spoke again. “However, | should warn you in advance. The person your fiancé is currently tracking could

very likely be associated with Hellfire Creed. Moreover, this individual is not just anyone. If you dig too deep and

things escalate, it’s possible that lives could be at stake.”
