"Too bad your boyfriend isn't the CEO of Arnold Corporation."As Jadie and her friend walked, they could hear the girls behind them chatting. 'So Madelyn stayed late last night because she was in the special class. Is she still coming back to the Math Olympiad class?'Madelyn was stapling some papers when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her fingertip. She looked down and saw a drop of blood on her pale finger. At the same time, her eyelid twitched, and she had a bad feeling. Thankfully, the staple was not rusty, so she did not need a shot.Classes did not end until 9:30 p.m. Madelyn went to the restroom, and when she came out, she looked in the mirror at the spot behind her. All she saw was darkness. 'Am I too stressed from all the studying? I keep feeling like someone's watching me,' she thought. She shook the water off her hands and headed back to the classroom to grab her backpack.As she got near the elevator, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a stai
Madelyn had a hard time holding up Forrest as they left the school.The Arnold family's driver quickly drove up. Seeing Forrest in Madelyn's arms, he got out of the car right away and helped her get Forrest inside."Why are you with him, Ms. Jent?" the driver asked.Madelyn frowned. "It's a long story. Let's just go home.""I'm sorry, but Mrs. Arnold said that he can't come to the Arnold residence without permission."Madelyn remembered that rule and said, "Okay, let's go to my place then."She put Forrest in the back seat and buckled him up. Then she got in the front and told the driver where to go. They pulled up to a small alley where she used to live, a building without an elevator. Madelyn and the driver helped Forrest up the stairs. She found a key under the flowerpot, opened the door, and turned on the light. The house was surprisingly clean, and looked like someone had been staying there. There was even some half-eaten food on the table, covered with plastic wrap.'Could
Madelyn thought, 'If a person cheats once, they'll cheat again! I've learned this from Zach.'Madelyn walked out of the bathroom. She switched on her phone and saw that Ethan had called her several times. She then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. She wore a tie belt sleeping gown, and her hair was still a little wet.Madelyn returned the call, which Ethan picked up within a few seconds.A familiar, deep, pleasant voice could be heard, "You're still awake?"Madelyn looked at the moon. It was a crescent moon, just like the pendant on her neck.She responded, "When'll you be back?"Ethan gently chuckled, "Madelyn, it's only been one day. To be precise, it's only been fifteen hours and twelve minutes. What's wrong? Did something happen at school?"Madelyn nervously clutched her gown. She could even hear her own heartbeat, "I-I miss you!"She had to gather a lot of courage in order to say those three words.She could not help but remember that she had said the same words to Z
Madelyn was distracted in the morning. She constantly recalled the incident at the safe passage last night and what Forrest said to her.She did not want to continue imagining things. She thought, 'It's meaningless to ponder about certain things.'When she set aside those distracting thoughts and listened to the teacher, she realized she had already lost track of the lesson...She dreamily got through the first class.Madelyn, sitting in the first row by the window, heard voices behind her. It was Yvonne and Jadie!Yvonne handed a gold invitation card to Jadie, "I'm handing this invitation card as the apparent heir of the Young family for you and Zach. YTCorp will be hosting a gala dinner this weekend. We hope both of you can attend it on time."Jadie had never received such a valuable invitation. She glanced at it before lifting her head to smile slightly at Yvonne, "I'm sorry! I don't know anything about the company's matters, but I'll pass this on to Zach. If he decides to go,
Yvonne was still lost in her thoughts, 'If I regard her as my future sister-in-law, I don't mind saying a few apology words to her. Who knows, we might become a family in the future.'However, Madelyn and Jadie can never become family. Jadie won't be able to stay in a relationship with Zach for too long. That cunning old man, Hayson, is always tactful. On one hand, he got close to the Arnold family by using her daughter. On the other hand, he can rely on his godson to gain cooperation with the Young family.'Hayson indeed knew what was best for him.Yvonne had seen many people willing to do whatever it took for power and status, even abandoning their wives and children. She believed Zach could let go of Jadie....In the Azure Corporation, Hayson was sitting in the CEO's seat. After stepping down from his position, he rarely came to the company. Zach was standing nearby as he handed the most recent financial report to Hayson.The revenue this time had increased by thirty-two perc
Looking at how she dressed, one would think she looked like a top performer from a nightclub.Her hairstyle was the trendiest among nightclubs over ten years ago. She was wearing a pair of emerald gemstone earrings.The women's watch on her hand was embedded with the most expensive diamonds, worth over two million dollars.However, to Hayson, this amount of money was no more than a drop in the ocean.Jasmine walked toward Zach and pressed herself against his body. Her voice was alluring, "Seems like he's after your girlfriend! You need to be careful!"Zach's gaze turned cold as he pulled her hand that was resting on his chest away. He then distanced himself from her.Right at this moment, someone knocked on the office door.Zach answered, "Come in!"When Zach turned around, a subtle hint of unhappiness appeared on Jasmine's face.Kevin pushed open the door and reported, "Ms. White is here."Zach nodded, "Let her in."Kevin conceded, "Okay."Jasmine noticed his gaze. She smi
Jadie thought, 'If it wasn't for me suddenly having my period that night and stained my skirt, I wouldn't have had the chance to call him and ask him to come over. And after that, he even carried me out of my classroom.'She asked, "Zach, are you free this weekend? How about we go on a date? You didn't spend time with me during Valentine's Day."Zach answered, "Got it. I'll check my schedule when the time comes and arrange it."Jadie thought, 'He always says this.'Jadie planned to watch a movie for Valentine's Day before shopping for clothes with him. He said the same thing to her. But in the end, he did not go. He ended up working overtime at the company.Jadie said further, "How about we go to the amusement park? I'll wait for you on Friday after school."Zach responded with a sound.After lunch, Kevin came into the office to report on work. Zach had a meeting about half an hour later.Jadie did not want to disturb Zach. So, she left the company.After Kevin left the office
Madelyn thought, 'If this goes on, not only will Forrest not have the mood to listen to me, but I'll also be affected.'After she left the library, she pondered again, 'Would he bring his girlfriend everywhere from now on? I really don't know what he's thinking. I can't understand how men think.'Without Ethan around, Madelyn's day was monotonous. Time passed very quickly. Madelyn packed her backpack after the last class ended. As she was about to leave, Jadie suddenly walked to her, "Madelyn, are you free? Zach and I haven't had a meal with you in a long time. Let's go back and eat together tonight."I'll cook. I promise you'll love it. Rosario had taught me a lot about cooking."Madelyn rejected, "I have class later. So, I can't come with you."Jadie asked, "Class? Special math class?"Madelyn answered, "Yes."Jadie probed, "Why don't you just join the Math Olympiad training class like back then?"Madelyn pursed her lips. As soon as she was about to respond, Yvonne came over
