After an hour of surgery, Zach arrived at the hospital and stood outside the operating room with Lana. Zach's expression was cold as he questioned Lana, "What the hell happened! Why would there be a fire out of nowhere!?"Lana was still worried about Kai's injury. Her eyes were still puffy from crying. When Zach interrogated her, Lana could not respond. She did not know why it happened.Instead, the nanny taking care of Lana explained the situation to Zach. Zach scowled and ordered Kevin, "Find the surveillance footage. Do whatever it takes to find the culprit."Kevin nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Jardin."Kevin received the surveillance footage of the sixteenth floor. He noticed that the suspect was wearing a mask. Her features were unrecognizable. When the police came to investigate it, the forensic artists could only deduce the person's features. It was the only clue they had for now.By the time Madelyn was sent to the ICU, Kevin had returned from his investigation. He reported t
Yvonne cried while her scarred hands gripped Zach's wrists. She spoke with much difficulty, "What are you talking about!? I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Zach. When will you stop trying to hurt me? You're the reason I'm in this state now. Do you want to ruin my entire life, too?"Zach was utterly ruthless, which scared the nurses who dared not move. Zach stared at her furiously, "Do you really think I care about your life at all?"Zach grabbed her face and slammed her onto the table. He then grabbed hot boiling water and forced it into Yvonne's mouth. Yvonne screamed as her hands flailed in the air.Zach's hands were being scratched, but he tightened his grip. Everyone watched on with horror as Yvonne went limp after struggling. When she was left with her last breath, Zach finally let her go.Yvonne slipped off the table slowly and laid on the floor, her eyes wide open. Zach was unfazed as he stared at her. Zach's hands had also been scorched by the boiling water.
Although Rosario had been dead for many years, she had still been able to sponsor a student. Sparing her life was the greatest kindness Zach could give her.Kevin commented, "Actually, I think it's odd that the person behind this..."His tone became more serious as he spoke, "Do you know who's behind this, Mr. Jardin? Could it be Cecilia?"Zach stared outside thoughtfully. He said, "Cecilia has grown a little stronger and now she thinks I can't do anything to her. But there's no rush, I'll take back what is mine soon. What has she been doing recently?"Kevin told him, "Every day, Cecilia goes to work for us while trying to buy shares of other shareholders behind our backs. Besides Cecilia, the Young family should have the most shares. If the Young family and Cecilia were to team up, I'm afraid..."Zach put out his cigarette and interrupted him, "She said I was the one who made her this way. She's getting quite ambitious, but she still isn't worthy of taking over the Jardin Corpora
At midnight, Madelyn coughed, and Zach immediately called for the nurse. After the doctors and nurse came in, they gave her a complete body checkup.Zach asked worriedly, "How is she?"The doctor saw the data, and his expression relaxed. He told Zach, "Mrs. Jardin is out of danger, but she'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for a while. If there are no further problems, she can be discharged.""When will she wake up?" Zach asked.The doctor shook his head thoughtfully. He said, "She should be waking up soon. However, there might be other complications based on Mrs. Jardin's previous medical history. This time, she inhaled a large amount of harmful gasses, which may have caused her to be in a coma for a long time. Her condition is still well, so she may wake up in a few days."Zach had heard of this many times. The doctor saw his expression and stopped talking. They then left the sick ward.However, not long after they left, Madelyn regained her consciousness. She cal
After the meeting ended, outside the door, Cecilia heard the voices of a few directors who had not yet left the meeting room."Our CEO is really neglecting the company more and more. He's been having his assistant manage the company's operations for so long now.""I know right? I really don't know what the CEO's thinking. He's neglecting the entire company just for a single woman."Blake was very busy these days and had no time to slack off. She occasionally followed Cecilia to travel around and learned a lot working under her.After the lesson learned from last time, Blake would bring hangover medicine with her whenever she went to business events, so as not to end up drunk again.Blake rarely saw Kevin in the company these days. Even Susan, who spent most of her time working in the company, had not seen Kevin in the company for a long time.Blake followed behind Cecilia, and the two walked to the elevator. Cecilia said, "I'll be leaving the company for a while later on, no need
Blake received a call from the hospital at three o'clock in the afternoon.She was working on the Eternal Seasons matter. Upon hearing the news of Cecilia being hospitalized again, she immediately delegated her tasks to other staff and drove to the Community Hospital.After Blake got out of the car, she hurried to Cecilia's ward. She stood just outside the door when a cup thrown from inside the ward nearly hit her.Inside the room, Cecilia furiously said, "Get out, all of you. A bunch of useless people! You can't even keep a baby alive? Get out of my sight!"Blake wondered, 'Child? So Ms. Samford was pregnant? Whose child could it be?'Previously, when Cecilia was hospitalized, Blake did not know what happened. Since it was a matter involving her superior, Cecilia, and she was just a normal employee, she did not delve deep into understanding the situation.Blake covered her mouth at the door, looking shocked, not daring to make any sound.Lately, Cecilia had been wearing loose c
The voice said, "You have to get better quickly. Once you're well, we'll spend all this money and buy delicious food for you."Cecilia quickly came back to her senses and said, "Our clients' matters are definitely the top priority. Blake, after you fetch the medicine for me later, please get me my laptop."Blake did not try to dissuade Cecilia. "Okay, I got it."After Blake took the medicine for Cecilia, she drove to the company.Cecilia used her phone to assist Blake in unlocking the door to her office. Blake then walked to Cecilia's desk and indeed saw a laptop. When she found the laptop bag and unplugged the laptop's power cord, the laptop screen suddenly lit up. To her surprise, the screen background was actually a picture of Zach's back, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand in his pocket. The sky in the picture was pitch-black. Upon closer look, Blake noticed something. Reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window was a bed, surrounded by luxurious decora
That man thought, 'Cecilia is indeed ruthless; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen her.'Women like Cecilia, very calm at work, tended to be dominant in relationships. They had zero tolerance for any form of betrayal. Such individuals were absolutely ruthless when confronting their enemies.However, women like that had a fatal weakness—they could be distracted by the men they loved.Blake still did not know that something happened to Madelyn. She had been busy these days and did not have the chance to call Madelyn.After some hesitation, Blake decided to call Madelyn.Listening to the weak voice on the phone, Blake asked with concern, "Madelyn, your voice sounds a little off. What's wrong? Are you sick? Which hospital are you in? I'll come visit you."After Madelyn had a high fever, she woke up. Fortunately, her high fever had subsided four hours ago.Zach was holding Madelyn's phone for her. She glanced at him and remembered that Blake was afraid of Zach. Just like Mya, whenever
