Zach said, "There's no one. It was just your imagination."At that moment, a bodyguard in a black suit approached, "Mrs. Jardin, the person you just saw was me."Madelyn was confused, "It was you?"The bodyguard nodded, "Yes, I was patrolling over here. There was an unusual situation outside the door just now, so I went to check. I apologize for frightening you."Zach waved his hand, and the bodyguard left.Zach said, "Is it clear now? I've arranged for people to guard the villa these days. That was why you had such illusions."Now, let's go back to eat, okay?"Madelyn was not convinced. She turned her head to glance as she pondered, 'Was I really mistaken?"When she arrived at the entrance, Dalton suddenly ran over with a toy airplane. His running posture made Madelyn worried, "Mama..."When Madelyn was about to pick him up, Margaret took Dalton, "Ms. Jent, let me do it."Madelyn glanced at her hands before withdrawing them, "Okay."Zach held Madelyn's hand and went to the
Zach said, "Are you worried about me?"As he said that, he held Madelyn's hand. She withdrew it without responding. Zach knew the answer from her gaze. However, he did not mind. What he wanted was to have her by his side.He continued saying, "Those kinds of events aren't suitable for you. If you want to have fun, you can go to beauty salons with those wealthy ladies or play cards with them."Madelyn responded, "Since when did you know women like to do these things?"Indeed, Madelyn occasionally indulged in those activities with the wealthy ladies.The way Zach looked at her was as if he was worried that she would misunderstand something. He explained, "Whenever you go out, the bodyguards will report your schedule to me. That's why I know what you do every time you go out."He noticed she looked unhappy. He quickly changed the subject before she could get angry, "I've already taken care of Blake's matter for you. Madelyn..." With that, he seized the opportunity to pull Madelyn's
Enrick continued saying, "Are you interested in working with me?"Zach sat with his legs crossed and hands rested on his leg, "Tell me about it."Enrick waved his hand, and a few bodyguards walked over. They carried ten briefcases and placed them on the table before opening them to reveal stacks of Avalon Dollars.Enrick said, "Consider this my gift to you."If you sincerely want to work with me, you can earn even more money. We can discuss the profit-sharing percentages. As far as I know, you have the greatest influence both domestically and internationally. The whole of Ventropolis, and even all of Venturia is under your control."Zach responded, "You think too highly of me."Enrick replied, "You have the most extensive connections, and I have the best products. I've been working with Mr. Turner for many years, and he's my best partner."It's my honor to meet you today."Frida chimed in, "Zach, if you're hesitant to take this money, don't worry. Mr. Felipe has his own methods
Zach got into the car and sat in the back passenger seat. He asked, "What's the situation at Southern Haven Villas?"Kevin answered, "Everything is normal. Mrs. Jardin hasn't gone out. There won't be any problems as long as she doesn't leave the villa."Zach closed his eyes. He twirled his silver ring, feeling a little uneasy, "Let's go back and see."He never felt at ease leaving Madelyn alone at home.Moreover, up until now, Zach had rarely allowed her to be alone outside. Even with bodyguards accompanying her, he would still be worried if he was not with her himself.Madelyn was in the art room discussing with Blake on the phone about the character designs for Liam's book.Only an hour had passed since Zach left.Just as Madelyn put down her phone, the lights in the villa suddenly went out. Not only that, but the entire Southern Haven Villas blacked out.The servants were confused, but they immediately thought of Madelyn."Oh no, we should quickly check on Mrs. Jardin.""I
The bodyguards responded, "Okay, Mrs. Jardin."In the master bedroom, Madelyn sat holding Dalton. Margaret walked back and forth anxiously, "Oh my gosh, I was scared to death."Madelyn asked, "What happened to you? Who did you see? Why are you so frightened?"Margaret explained, "Ms. Jent, you have no idea! I followed your instruction to hide in Mr. Jent's study as soon as something went wrong. I did that when it blacked out. Just now, I heard footsteps going downstairs. I thought it might be you, so I walked out of the study. When I approached and patted that person's shoulder, she turned around. My goodness, her face was simply unbearable to look at; all burned, features twisted. She looked like a monster!"She was even holding a knife. If it weren't for the power to come back so quickly, she might've attacked us."Madelyn thought, 'It turns out that someone really wanted to kill me! I've always felt that someone was watching me closely from behind recently. So, it wasn't an ill
Finding Yvonne was not difficult.Kevin received messages from a bodyguard regarding Yvonne's whereabouts and photos of her receiving treatment in the hospital.In the photos, her face was completely disfigured due to the plane crash.With the current domestic plastic surgery technology, it was impossible for her to restore her original appearance.The bodyguards sent by Kevin were too late to take action against Cecilia; she had already been secretly taken away through another passage.There was also news about the Young residence. As Kevin had expected, everyone had already left the place.The servants working at the Young residence were all dismissed, leaving only furniture.Kevin said, "Mr. Jardin, everyone has disappeared. Should we send someone to trace the Young family's whereabouts?"The early morning sunlight was bright. Zach, in dark-colored pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was standing upright with one hand in his pocket. He looked at the pe
Frida believed none of this would have happened if not for Zach. It seemed like she had made a decision....Cecilia had signs of miscarriage because she had too much fun last night. She took an injection in the hospital that reduced the risk of miscarriage and had an IV drip attached to her hand.Blake took the phone that was ringing and handed it to Cecilia, "Ms. Samford, here's your phone."After Cecilia took the phone, she sent Blake away, "Go get me a cup of hot water.""Okay."Blake then left the ward and closed the door. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood at the door to eavesdrop.She could faintly hear some sounds."It's good that you've figured it out. Madelyn has already bewitched Zach. If she didn't fuel the flames, how could Zach possibly make a move on your daughter? Ms. Young, do you remember how glorious the Young family was back then? Now, your family has fallen because of Zach, a lowly person. Are you really okay with that?"Cecilia's p
When Blake called Kevin, she saw him helping Audrey leave the hospital.She chased after them without any hesitation.Although she did not know why he was at the hospital, she could not care less. She felt that she had to tell him about this matter now.Blake followed Kevin all the way to the parking lot, "Mr. Harrison."Kevin turned around to look at Blake, who was approaching him hurriedly."Mr. Harrison, I have something to tell you. I'll leave after I say it."Audrey let go of Kevin's hand. She gently smiled as she said, "Ms. Dion has something to talk to you about. I'll wait in the car."She then glanced at Blake before turning around and leaving to sit in the front passenger seat.Blake pulled Kevin to a quiet place. He asked, "Why are you at the hospital?"Blake responded, "Last night, the hospital called me, saying Cecilia needed someone to accompany her. I'm not sure about her actual condition, but I took care of her all night. Just now, I heard that she wants to work
