In the past, Madelyn had been cruel and willful, often taking the lead in bullying others. However, ever since Forrest had appeared, she had gradually become isolated and had finally ended up being bullied instead.Madelyn was aware of her past sins, and could not justify what she had done…She thought, 'Seems like this party didn't go well. My relationship with Yvonne is just superficial. She's probably using me to get closer to Zach, and I want to set her up with Zach so that I can leave him and the Jent family. Either way, I have to maintain this relationship.'It was getting late, and colder as well. Her scarf could no longer keep her from shivering. She asked the Young family's maid to get her the medical cream for sprains and rubbed it on her ankle. Half an hour later, the swelling reduced.At that moment, someone approached her, "Miss, is this your phone?"Madelyn, "Yes, please help me put it on the table. I can't do that now. Thank you."The maid said, "Your phone was rin
However, Zach was very good at hiding his feelings and would never show his emotions. Sometimes, Jadie could not guess what he was really thinking.Zach just coldly responded, "You're overthinking it. Get in the car."He opened the front passenger door.When Jadie was looking at him, she saw Madelyn who also walked out of the main door. Jadie thought, 'She came!'Madelyn was limping with the help of a maid.Zach walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. When the car engine started, Jadie pressed the window button to close the window.Madelyn thanked the maid, "You can go back now. My family's driver will be here very soon.""Okay. Be careful on your way back.""Sure. Thank you." Madelyn smiled.Madelyn left her jacket in Jordan's car. She stood in the cold wind shivering and hugging herself, looking at the ground.Suddenly, Ethan appeared in front of her, and wrapped her in his black jacket. Madelyn stared at him in surprise. She trembled and was stun
Madelyn was interrupted. "Madelyn, I'm just worried about you. What am I doing that you don't like? Just tell me, and I'll definitely change my ways!"The tattooed hand stroked her head as his eyes fell upon her. Madelyn was not sure if it was an illusion, but she could see a trace of panic in his eyes.Every time he made such an expression, her heart would inevitably soften and she would feel guilt for upsetting him and speaking to him like that.Madelyn did not know where to look. She knew that she was just being overly sensitive to her surroundings, her self-preservation instincts reacting too strongly."I... I'm so... sorry..." Madelyn was mumbling as she tugged her hair. "I should be going back. Rest well. Good night."Madelyn did not know how to tell him that the problem was not him. He was fine as he was!She was the problem...Ethan never got to respond to her "good night" as she fled from him as if avoiding a raging beast, her black flowing skirt creating a beautiful ar
Zach had gone to take a call.Jadie happened to see the person coming back. "Madelyn, I made some gnocchi, do you want to have some?"Madelyn shook her head and said weakly. "No need, you can have it. I'm going to bed."She held the handrail and went back to her room. After confirming the door was shut, she untied her shoulder straps and her dress slid down her body as she stepped barefoot on the carpet and walked into the shower.Half an hour later, she got out of the bathroom, dried her hair, put on her pajamas and threw herself onto her bed. She did not even put away the clothes on the ground and just left them in a messy pile.All the while, a men's coat was hanging neatly on the hanger.In the middle of the night, her phone by the bedside table lit up. She was deep asleep, and in her dreams, she saw a silhouette, its eyes deep and cold.The next morning, Madelyn's biological clock woke her up on time at 7:30 in the morning.While she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom,
Madelyn rubbed her pen as she pondered. 'The dinner between Yvonne and Zach...'Yvonne then whispered for help again. "Madelyn, just accompany me, okay? Otherwise, I won't know what to say, and it'll be super awkward! You're his little sister, the atmosphere will be more relaxed with you around. How about this? As long as you promise me this, you can leave the matter of entering the Maths Olympiad team to me."The class bell rang."I'll think about it. Zach is usually busy, and I don't know whether he’ll have time or not."Yvonne then said happily, "Don't you worry, as long I ask him, he won't dare to refuse me. So, with that settled, join us for dinner later. I'll head back first then!"Her eyes were full of affection and admiration towards Zach that she could not hide.Madelyn looked at the test paper on her table and her mind went blank as she was lost in thought. Suddenly, she felt something hit her back and pulled her back to reality. Madelyn turned around and saw the book o
Madelyn had no choice but to hand her phone to Yvonne. She did not feel like joining them for dinner, but this might be her chance to matchmake the two, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.Yvonne held the phone by her ear and twirled her hair as she waited anxiously. Unexpectedly, someone picked up within a few seconds."What's the matter, Madelyn?" asked Zach’s husky voice from the end of the line.Yvonne's heart sank a little after hearing his words. She said with slight annoyance, "This isn't your sister. It's me!""Ms. Young? What's the matter?"Yvonne could tell his voice had immediately turned cold. It was clear he treated them differently."Zach, didn't you see all those texts I sent you?! Didn't we agree that you'd take me out for dinner?"Yvonne heard another woman's voice on the phone, "Are you done with your meeting, Mr. Jardin? Your meal has been sent to your office."Zach nodded slightly while Kevin updated him about his upcoming schedule. Then, the two entere
Madelyn called Jordan and asked him to send Jadie home first. Then, she and Yvonne went straight to Zach's company in Yvonne's private car.Compared to YTCorp run by the Young family, the Jent family was insignificant and humble. YT Tower was located in the city center and worth several hundred million. In the future, its value would likely increase over tenfold.Whether Zach married into the Young family or vice versa, it would be a win-win situation for him regardless.In the car, the driver rolled up the partition. Yvonne had already changed out of her school uniform and was applying lip gloss in front of a mirror. She let down her hair and turned to Madelyn, "Do I look good?"Madelyn had an unreadable look in her eyes. She asked tentatively with an inexplicable feeling in her chest, "Do you... Do you really like my brother?"Yvonne nodded unabashedly."Of course I do. Why else would I go to such lengths to meet him?" she said with a sparkle in her eyes."Do you not mind tha
In the past, Madelyn had often come here to harass Zach, so she was familiar with the place. Needless to say, the receptionist was terrified when she saw Madelyn, who was notorious for being difficult."Are you here to see Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent? He's meeting a client right now, so you might have to wait for a bit," said the receptionist."Please get me a glass of water. Thank you." Madelyn had already asked Yvonne to head to the thirty-fourth floor. She did not want to be the third wheel, so she went to the lounge."Al-Alright."The receptionist dropped her jaw in shock.'Thank you? It's terrifying to hear such words come out of her mouth. Is there something wrong with my hearing?' she thought.Madelyn sat down on the couch. Then, she grabbed a beauty magazine and read it out of boredom.Meanwhile, Kevin coincidentally had some business on the thirty-second floor. The receptionist stopped him and said, "Mr. Harrison, this document needs to be given to Mr. Jardin."Kevin took the
