Because of Anita Madris's goodbye, Madeleine, whose heart had somewhat relaxed, suddenly clenched tight upon hearing those words.
Her hand subconsciously formed into a fist, she strived to steady her figure, staring at Anita Madris with a calm demeanor, remaining silent.
Even though Madeleine was good at masking her feelings, Anita Madris still caught a fleeting glimpse of a shattered expression in Madeleine's eyes.
Such an expression momentarily reminded Anita Madris of a scene from over four years prior, when she, like she was now, had played dirty tricks, yet stood as proud as a victor, dealing a crushing blow to the innocent other party.
