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.

“Kisa, are you going out? Do you want me to accompany you?” Lea asked in puzzlement.

“No. I will be back soon,” Kisa said and quickly changed her clothes. She put on her hat and mask as she walked outside. West Avenue was near her place, a 20–minute drive. George was already waiting

for her at the entrance of the teahouse. She masked herself so well that George did not recognize her until she came up and said hello. “Hey, George.”

“Mrs. Kooper? Mrs. Kooper Sr. is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor. Hurry and go up.” Kisa nodded and hastened inside. There were few customers in the teahouse.

When Kisa entered the private room, Madalyn looked down at her watch. Seeing Kisa, she grunted meanly, “You are a minute late.”

Madalyn used to be so kind, so much so that no matter what she had done wrong, Madalyn would never reprimand her. Now, she was only a minute late, and Madalyn was displeased. Kisa could still not understand what had made the kind and lovable Madalyn turn out like this. She sat opposite Madalyn and asked, “What did you want to tell me by asking me to come?”

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.
