Two car horns red suddenly from thene next to them, startling Lizetta. She instinctively pushed her hand against Jerome''s shoulder.


    Jerome, in turn, moved a bit to the side, casting a cold nce at the sleek ck Bentley next to them. His gaze seemed to pierce through the tinted windows, locking eyes with the curious observer inside.


    Lizetta, however, didn''t give it much thought, assuming the other car had just happened to honk its horn. Her mind snapped back to the present, urging Jerome.


    "The light''s green."


    Jerome withdrew his gaze, gently tucking a stray lock of Lizetta''s hair behind her ear, before leisurely pulling the car back into traffic.


    "You haven''t answered my question yet."


    His eyes briefly scanned the Bentley that was keeping pace with them, before he looked back at Lizetta.


    The question.


    Right, Jerome had mentioned he wanted to revert to his originalst name. Harris-his mother''s surname.


    "Why do you suddenly want to go back to it?"


    Jerome''s lips twitched slightly. “I took the Madden name because Grandpa was worried I was too young and vulnerable on my own. Now that you''ve returned to the Madden family, with a legitimate heiress in the family, and you''re set to join thepany, I should revert to my original surname.”This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The majority of the Madden family''s business was now managed by Jerome and his brother-inw, Conrad. Andrea, still in college, hadn''t yet joined Madden Enterprises.


    Lizetta, however, was different from Andrea. Despite being the same age, Lizetta had already graduated. Nelson intended for her to start learning the ropes at Madden Enterprises now.


    Jerome''s desire to revert to his original surname was also a deration that only Ms. Madden was the legitimate heiress of the Madden family.


    Lizetta understood his intention and


    quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I trust you, really, it''s not necessary! Besides, Grandma and Grandpa have always treated you like their own grandson. If you suddenly change your name, it would hurt them, and I don''t want that."


    Jerome, however, looked at Lizetta intently, insisting.


    "I know you don''t care about these things, but Liz, don''t you understand the deeper reason why I want to change it back?" Chapter 744 2


    Lizetta''s fingers curled in, her gaze swiftly shifting away as she said hurriedly, "I think things are fine as they are, really!"


    Jerome''s grip on the steering wheel tightened, a sh of sadness and disappointment crossing his eyes. The conversation left the car in silence.


    Meanwhile, in the ck Bentley driving alongside, not too far behind, Cedric nced at the CEO emanating a chill from the back seat, timidly suggesting. "Sir, Maple Cottage is just ahead. Mr. Madden has already spotted us. Maybe we should stop following?"


    What was the point? If they hadn''t followed, they wouldn''t have witnessed that heart-wrenching scene. Now, how would the CEO find peace tonight? Besides, after today''s incident with their car being vandalized, Cedric feared this car''s Windows might be next.


    "Are they together?"


    OV


    However, Remington seemed not to hear Cedric''s question, only asking this. His voice wasden with so much unspeakable sorrow, Cedric hurriedly replied. "Definitely not! It was just the angle, like in movies when they fake kiss scenes. Plus, thedy pushed Mr. Madden away! They''re definitely not together!" "Let''s head back."


    Cedric''s analysis offered nofort to Remington, who closed his eyes wearily, his instructions sounding strained, as if squeezed from a heavy chest.
