Zach finally got off Madelyn and yelled, "Get lost!"Madelyn put on her shirt and immediately got out of his car, leaving behind the medication she had gotten from the hospital.Rosario was tidying up the living room. When she saw Madelyn rushing inside, looking as if she had cried, she asked, "What's wrong, Madelyn?"Madelyn did not answer and ran upstairs.That night, Madelyn did not see Zach.On the day that Zach and Jadie left, Madelyn was chatting with some of the relatives who had come to visit. She was worried her father would ask her to send them off, so she pretended she did not see them and went to the kitchen.Madelyn spent the day in peace.Madelyn's father personally hosted the Azure Corporation's annual company gala this year. She showed up at the gala with her father as the company's heiress. Madelyn looked stunning and impressed everyone, including the directors who partnered with Azure Corporation.Rather than calling the event an annual company gala, it was mo
"Is there anything else? I'm having dinner right now, so I'll be hanging up if there isn't.""Dinner? Are you with Mr. Arnold?"Madelyn looked in Ethan's direction and was coincidentally met with his gaze."Mhm," she replied."Madelyn, Zach and I are together now!""That's great, congratulations." Madelyn said indifferently. Her tone was devoid of emotion."We'll get your blessings, right?""Mhm.""Thank you, Madelyn!"'So he's finally gotten what he wanted and got together with Jadie?' thought Madelyn.She thought bitterly, 'It turns out Zach really can give up everything for a person. And the only one who could make him do that is Jadie. Initially, Zach could've gotten together with Yvonne and used the Young family to take over the Jent family. He could've easily done all of this with his capabilities. In fact, he could've built his own business empire that rivaled the Jent family's. There was no need for him to use such lowly tactics and stain his own reputation... Now tha
As the new semester began, the pressure to study grew. There was a test on the very first day of class. By the time they finished their test, classes were over.It was around three in the afternoon when they finished their test, so everyone went home. Most students from Ventrocloud High School were locals, and students rarely lived on school grounds. Even the students from out of town would instead choose to rent a room outside the school grounds.As Madelyn was packing her bags and getting ready to leave, Albert came over to call her to the office. When she arrived at the office, she asked, "You called for me, Mr. Newton?""Wait a minute, "Albert said as he rummaged through the drawers, searching for god knows what. After a while, he took out a set of assessment papers, "Madelyn, are you interested in joining the Math Olympiad team? There'll be a competition next month. If you are interested, I can make an exception and have you enter the examination hall as a reserve contestant."
Forrest tapped his plate with a skewer stick and said, "Stop interrupting. I'm asking you a question!"Madelyn answered, "It's nothing. My brother had a stomachache, so I accompanied him to the hospital."When Madelyn lied, she lowered her head and avoided looking at others. Forrest knew this and deduced something from this, 'After strolling around the street market and having eaten so much, she ended up at the hospital that night. She probably got food poisoning.'Then, Forrest shouted at the stall owner, "Cancel the other food we ordered.""Why!? I'm not full yet!" Madelyn shouted back at him."I'm going to bring you somewhere with better food," Forrest said."Then you should have left some for me," Madelyn said.Suddenly, Forrest grabbed a fistful of barbecue skewers before running off. He had left Madelyn with only a half-eaten sausage in her hand. The stall owner quickly came over, fearing they would dine and dash. "Hey, kids, you haven't paid yet!""It's fine, I'll pay. H
It was almost four o'clock when they finished their meal and returned. Coincidentally, the Arnold family's private vehicle had arrived to fetch her back home. When Madelyn got in the car, her phone vibrated. Ethan had sent her a message.Ethan wrote: [The weather's been getting cold recently. Remember to layer up. Do you need George to add some blankets for you at night?]Madelyn read the message and replied: [No need, it's not that cold.]After she sent her message, Ethan did not reply. Madelyn sent another message to him: [I've just finished my classes. I'll be going back first.]Ethan replied: [Why so early today? I'll have the chauffeur pick you up.]Madelyn wrote: [Mhm, right after I received my textbooks and finished my entrance exams, school was already over. I also met up with Forrest to have a meal.]Ethan's gaze while staring at the phone deepened. He replied with a single word: [Okay.]He then typed: [I have a meeting. We'll meet later at night.]Madelyn replied: [Al
"Did something happen to Ethan?" Madelyn asked."I don't know, madam." the servant said.Madelyn knew she would not get any information from them. Then, Madelyn called Leyton. After a while, someone picked up the call, "Ms. Jent?""Are you guys working overtime?" Madelyn asked.Leyton stared at the person with an IV drip in the hospital room. He hesitated momentarily before answering, "Mr. Arnold is in a meeting and will be back later. You don't need to wait for him, Ms. Jent.""Since Ms. Jent still has classes tomorrow, it would be best to go to bed early," Leyton said. Leyton's tone was obviously weird. She also heard people crying from the other end, and it was pretty noisy there.At eleven o'clock at night, a servant advised Madelyn, " Ms. Jent, you shouldn't wait! It's normal for Mr. Arnold not to come back for a night. If you wait any longer, it won't be good for your health."Madelyn continued to sit cross-legged next to the sofa and worked on her exercises with a pen in
Madelyn still poured a bowl of fish stew for her. She placed a spoon for her and brought it to Evelyn, saying, "Here, it's fresh and hot. Do be careful."Evelyn commented, "It tastes quite nice."Madelyn then asked her," Are you lost? Do you remember where you live?"At the same time, the sound of a car came from the door. Madelyn heard the noise and went over to check. A Cayenne had been parked outside the gates. Ethan got out of the car looking sickly but saw that the lights in the living room were still on.'Has she not slept yet?' Ethan thought.At the next second, the doors opened, and he saw Madelyn dressed in a white nightgown. The moonlight shined on her skin, making it seem translucent. She walked over to him. The moment he saw her, an inexplicable feeling erupted from his chest. It was warm, and he had never felt it before.Ethan's hand caressed the hair by her ears as he asked, "Why are you still not asleep even though it's already this late?"Madelyn was stunned for
Ethan was dressed in a gray shirt with a vest and held a suit jacket. Pinching his brow, he walked down, looking like he had not rested well last night. He was surprised to see Madelyn sitting at the dining table and leisurely having breakfast. Usually, she would have already left at this time.Madelyn greeted the just-arrived Ethan, "Good morning!""Morning. Why haven't you left yet?" Ethan asked.Madelyn said casually, "I forgot to charge my phone and the alarm didn't go off, so I overslept. But it's okay, I've already taken leave for the class I missed. Do you want to have some breakfast? The oatmeal today is nice."Ethan raised his wrist and checked the time. "Alright," he responded as he hung his suit jacket on the back of a chair and sat down.After breakfast, Ethan drove Madelyn to school. She arrived just in time for the start of the next class. Ethan leaned over and helped Madelyn unfasten her seatbelt.Madelyn said, "Thanks, I'll go now.""Is the dismissal time the sam
