Chapter 471 A Minute Late
Kisa’s eyes were downcast, and she was silent. ‘Madalyn is really up to no good; I could tell by the tone of her voice. It is as if she is facing an enemy.‘
“You think you are so good now that you’re a superstar? How dare you be so arrogant toward me?” Madalyn’s voice turned harsher the longer she spoke.
Kisa pursed her lips before she asked, “What do you want to talk about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?”
“Humph!” Madalyn snorted. “Meet me alone at the teahouse on West Avenue in half an hour,” Madalyn said in a stern, commanding tone of voice that allowed no one to retort before hanging up.
Lea saw Kisa’s expression and was worried. “What is wrong with you?”
Kisa shook her head and stared at the dimmed phone screen. Something bad happened every time Madalyn contacted her. She wondered if there was a secret plot against her again. She was hesitant to go when Madalyn suddenly sent her another message.
[I wanted to talk to you about the prison fire five years ago. Come if you are interested.]
Kisa’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the content of the text message. ‘Back then, when the fire happened, Madalyn was in a coma and could not possibly know about the fire. That is unless she was also secretly investigating the incident.‘ Thinking of this, she hurriedly got up to change her clothes.
Madalyn signaled the waitstaff to brew tea but said nothing. She did not seem to be in a hurry to say anything but just watched patiently as the waitstaff brewed and served her a cup of tea. She took a sip and said, “The tea is freshly brewed. It smells great. Don’t you want to try it?”
Kisa was not in the mood for tea, but she did not press Madalyn to explain about the fire. She knew no one could stop Madalyn if she wanted to talk, and no one could make her talk if she did not feel like talking.
After Madalyn finished her tea, Kisa picked up the teapot and poured another cup for her. Madalyn took another sip and looked at Kisa’s hat and mask. “Is that how you are going to talk to me?”
Kisa hurriedly took off her hat and mask. Madalyn snorted before getting down to business.
