After George left, Ethan picked up his phone.His hopes were shattered.Ethan threw his book out of frustration, shattering the million-dollar painting on the wall. It was an original work by a renowned artist.George sighed when he heard the commotion coming from Ethan's room.'If this goes on, he'll eventually relapse. He's finally managed to take over the company's affairs, so it'll be disadvantageous if something happens to him now! Not only does he have the backing of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Sr., but he also has the backing of Mr. Young's ex-wife. That's why his current position is secured. Now's not the time for him to mess up.'George stared at the glass of water in his hand, 'Not even the best medicine can replace Ms. Jent's company. Perhaps it's time for me to do something. If his illness relapses, I hope he doesn't self-harm like he did in the past.'Meanwhile, Madelyn ended the conversation with Ethan by giving him a slipshod excuse of being busy with her studies. Then, sh
Such an incident could negatively impact the school's reputation, so the authorities of Ventrocloud High School quickly stepped in.Leyton inadvertently learned about what happened at school and how it coincidentally had something to do with Madelyn.He knocked on the CEO's door and immediately reported the matter to Ethan.Ethan was busy with paperwork. After he heard Leyton's report, his expression turned grave."...She's hurt? Why wasn't I informed immediately? What's the situation at the school right now?"Leyton replied, "The school authorities have stepped forward and are currently handling the incident."Ethan set down his thousand-dollar pen and closed the document in front of him."Postpone the upcoming meeting and get in touch with the school. I'll handle the matter," he said.Leyton nodded, "Yes, sir."Even though the Arnold Corporation was the biggest investor at Ventrocloud High School, there was no need for the CEO himself to personally intervene. Compared to the
A fifty odd year-old man stood up as he slammed the table. "What do you mean by that?! Are you saying my sister deserved to die?!""What about me then? Am I deserving of my wounds? I shouldn't protect myself? Also, that man Danny stabbed, did he deserved that as well?" Madelyn was about to lose her temper. Moreover, it was not like the deceased's side was at the right, and it was not as if she was disrespecting the dead. She was just stating the facts of the matter.They had been born in the sixties and seventies, an era that lacked education. Moreover, they were rural villagers with little knowledge of the law, so such things were simply incomprehensible to them.That was what Madelyn had thought, but it did not mean she was painting broad strokes. Her grandmother too lived in a rural village, and in that age, keeping themselves fed was itself an issue, much less being literate. It only took her grandfather a few sacks of grain to wed her grandmother.Her grandmother had married
Madelyn was seating in the lounge with a glass of hot water in her hands. She then asked Kevin. "How does Zach plan to deal with Danny's case?"Kevin was walking to the door when he heard her voice and stopped. "Miss Madelyn, it's better if you don't know. Mr. Zach has his ways, and he'll deal with this once and for all."After some time, another commotion happened at the door.It seemed like someone else had arrived.Madelyn wanted to go and have a look, but after some thought, she decided against it as she did not want to add to his troubles.The next moment, the lounge room door suddenly opened.Seeing the person appearing before her shocked Madelyn so much that she was at a loss for words. A smart-looking Ethan, clad in gray suit, stood before her."Why... why are you here?"George, who was behind him quickly explained. "Arnold Corporation is the biggest investor of this school, so we rushed over the moment we heard something had happened. But more so, it is because of you
Madelyn simply nodded.He really was a gentle person, even willing to put down his work to help her resolve her problems. Madelyn knew what sort of status he held in Ventropolis, and he did not need to show up for trivial matters like this, but yet he still came...The more he treated her well like this, the more burdensome Madelyn felt. She could never provide a response to his feelings.She was still too young now, and so was he. The future was still full of possibilities.After all, no one knows what the future holds...There were plenty of women who would pursue him, and compared to him, Madelyn felt like a dime a dozen.If it was due to her actions that time of pulling him back from the brink and saving his life, he had already repaid that debt of kindness long ago. The birthday present and everything else he had prepared for her was the biggest surprise she had received in both her lifetimes...Madelyn had never wanted anything from him since the very beginning.Ethan als
Upon receiving the call from the school, Zach immediately canceled the meeting and rushed to the school.'Actually, I can handle this matter. Mr. Jardin doesn't have to be involved,' Kevin thought.Then, he said slowly, "Do you really want to expel Danny from school and sentence him to ten years of imprisonment? As far as I know, Ms. Jent caused all of this."Zach's deep gaze fixed on Kevin and then shifted to the floor-to-ceiling window. He sat on the chair, an icy aura emanating from him. "Do you think it's her fault too?"Kevin suddenly realized he might have said something he should not have. He lowered his head, "I dare not to.""Don't forget who you've been working for these past ten years!" Zach stood up from the chair and cast a cold, piercing gaze at him before turning around and walking away.Kevin suddenly spoke up when Zach reached the doorway, "I only work for you, sir."When Zach decided to bring Kevin by his side, Kevin's life became bound to his. He was the one w
Leyton said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arnold. We investigated all the vehicles that night. When we found the car, it was in a scrapyard, but the person was nowhere to be found. Moreover, we couldn't find any information about that person. It's as if someone deliberately concealed his identity. However, I don't think this was an accident."Ethan closed his eyes, "No need to investigate further. There's no point in wasting time on someone like this."Ethan's words held a deeper meaning, and Leyton felt he had been answered after hearing them.Madelyn followed Zach downstairs. The two of them remained silent along the way. At the entrance, Madelyn saw Jadie and Yvonne coming down.Yvonne walked up to Madelyn, "Are you okay? I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have contacted Mr. Newton. It's all because that bastard Danny misunderstood, it's got nothing to do with you. By the way, I also managed to get your test paper back from Mr. Newton. Madelyn, you're amazing!"She excitedly took the folded test pap
Alex said, "You helped her fend off the knife, but she didn't even appreciate it."As soon as he finished, a figure appeared in front of them. Seeing the comer, Alex sarcastically said, "Speak of the devil, and she appears."The three people still at the door watched as Madelyn abruptly left, and they had no idea what she was trying to do. Then, they saw her bowing and saying something, but they were too far away to hear it.Zach's gaze suddenly deepened, and everyone looked at Madelyn's actions in surprise."Thank you!" Madelyn's words were sincere. Then, she straightened up again. "I'm really sorry for not visiting you at the hospital all this time. Are you doing okay?"Caden scratched his head bashfully, "I'm fine. The doctor said the wound isn't deep, and a few days of rest will do."Alex cursed angrily, "Bullshit! Your intestines are practically out, and you're saying the wound isn't deep? And you, why are you coming over here pretending to care now? Get lost! Stop blocking
