"Exactly! What if she decides to complain to Ethan Arnold? My parents could get into serious trouble."A sly gleam appeared in Kayla's eyes as she said, "You all are worthless. But don't fret, she won't be with Ethan for much longer."She thought, 'She began with such confidence, openly declaring Ethan Arnold as her boyfriend. Now, her boyfriend is cheating on her. She must be feeling so embarrassed.'Madelyn left the school, and her driver, who didn't expect her to finish school early today, was still waiting outside.She headed to a cellphone repair shop to get her phone fixed.The shop owner examined her phone and said, "This is the latest model! The screen is in such bad shape that repairing it will cost almost as much as buying a new phone. It might be better not to fix it. I just got some new models in. Would you like to take a look?"Madelyn hesitated for a moment. "Um, okay." She didn't have anything particularly important on her phone, aside from the usual junk messages
Sylvia had been in the operating room for three hours. Madelyn waited outside, repeatedly calling Forrest's phone, but he didn't answer.Restlessly pacing back and forth, she wondered, 'Where on earth could Forrest be?' She didn't have any contact numbers for Forrest's close ones; she only had his.Suddenly, a thought crossed Madelyn's mind, 'Could he be with Alex at Portsmouth Fishing Village?' Besides that place, she had no idea where else he might go.Madelyn quickly found the phone number for the owner of Happy Seafood Grill, Jeff Massey.While the phone was dialing, she thought, 'Please pick up!'Meanwhile, at Portsmouth Fishing Village, Jeff was being held captive by a group of thugs. They had driven out all the diners who were enjoying their meals."What do you want?" Jeff asked.Fred played with a knife in his hand. "Oh, nothing much, just a little something. But you'd better behave yourself, or this knife in my hand might lose its manners. If anyone calls you and asks a
Madelyn briefly explained the situation to Alex.Alex paused, and her client let out a groan due to pain. She quickly said, "Hold on a moment." Then she turned to Madelyn, "I'll gather some folks, and we'll go look for him."Madelyn replied, "Thank you."Alex swiftly assembled a few friends who used to hang out with Forrest.One of the guys said, "It's been a long time since Forrest last came to see us. Since he left here, we haven't been in touch much. Most of the time, it was him reaching out to us. We're not really sure where he usually goes.""Yeah, even though Forrest used to scavenge for scraps with me, that was a long time ago."'Scavenging for scraps?' Madelyn had never known Forrest's life had been that difficult in the past.She asked, "Did he... used to have a tough life?"The redhead chimed in, "You bet! He used to work multiple jobs, and he was the one hauling most of the seafood from the sea. Many couldn't keep up with him."This was a side of Forrest that Madely
Madelyn quickly ended the call and spotted a familiar group of people approaching her. Among them were several individuals she recognized as Fred's henchmen.Without wasting any time, Madelyn swiftly pulled down the storefront shutter, recalling that there was a back door. She knew she had to get out of there.As she made her way to the back exit, she desperately dialed the Arnold family driver's number. But her phone abruptly shut down due to a depleted battery.Madelyn's mind raced with questions. 'Why is Zach here?' she wondered. 'If he's after me, is he planning to silence me?'Madelyn had barely taken a step toward the back door when two chilling figures suddenly appeared before her. In the moonlight, Fred's menacing scar across his eye seemed even more ominous. He spoke sternly, "Ms. Jent, Mr. Jardin is deeply concerned for your safety out here alone, so he has sent us to ensure your protection. Please, come with us."Madelyn's mind raced as she considered her options. She t
Madelyn cautioned Zach. "Don't do anything stupid. I've already called Ethan, and he'll be here soon."Zach countered, "Donna Jolie's return has me thinking. Do you think Ethan still cares about you?"Madelyn wasn't about to let him off the hook. "And what about you? Do you still have feelings for Jadie, brother?" She whispered the last word, her hand gently resting against his chest to stop him from coming any closer. Their close proximity allowed her to catch a faint whiff of tobacco on him. She wondered, 'I thought he didn't like smoking?'Her words left Zach speechless.Madelyn continued, her emotions bubbling to the surface. "When I had feelings for you, it seemed like you didn't care about anything I did. Now that I've moved on and started dating someone else, you keep coming around, Zach..." She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and locked eyes with him. "Have you fallen for me?"Zach's gaze remained enigmatic. He leaned in closer, planting warm kisses along her neck. His
Madelyn had underestimated just how heartless Zach could be. No matter how much she pleaded, he didn't let her go.She was forced to put on those lingerie pieces, one after another. Her face showed no emotion as she sat on his lap while wearing the last set.The thin fabric below was already soaked. Zach showed her his glistening fingers and caressed her breasts. "Want it? Beg me, and I'll give it to you."Madelyn understood that, even if she didn't ask for it, there was no way for her to avoid what was coming today.It had been over half an hour. She shivered, hugging herself tightly. Despite the closed windows, she felt cold, her lips pale.Overwhelmed by his sexual desire for her, Zach rewarded her with orgasm after orgasm that shook her.He then made her adjust her position by pinning her against the wall. Suddenly, she could feel a powerful presence between her thighs. As the final moments unfolded, Madelyn felt like she had reached the heights of pleasure.As soon as Zach
Seeing Madelyn in this state, Zach felt so frustrated. "I told you, this is just the beginning. If it weren't for your so-called sympathy and meddling, maybe none of this would have happened. Since you can't change your fate, can't you just accept it?" He played with her long hair as he spoke."No, I can't accept it! Don't touch me!" Madelyn screamed hysterically.At that moment, Kai knocked on the door. "Arguing with each other won't solve anything. Can you both take a break? Zach, step outside. I need to have a word with you."Zach cast a quick glance at Madelyn before rising from his seat and exiting the room. Once outside, Kai turned a page in Madelyn's medical records and began, "Were you aware that Madelyn had a severe case of depression previously?"Zach asked, "What else?"Kai arched an eyebrow, realizing that Zach was evidently uninformed. "Patients with depression often require medication to regulate their emotions, or else..."Before he could finish his sentence, one
Madelyn's absence from the Math Olympiad had Albert growing increasingly anxious. Mya waited at the school gate, hoping for her arrival.Ethan received news of Madelyn's disappearance through a call from the school. He rushed to the school, understanding the significance of the Math Olympiad to her. Madelyn had dedicated countless sleepless nights to prepare for it.The word of Madelyn's disappearance eventually reached Hayson's ears. Despite distancing himself from his former underground connections, he decided to tap into his old resources when Ethan urgently needed information to locate Madelyn. Surprisingly, within just half an hour, Hayson obtained crucial information about Madelyn's whereabouts from his underground contacts.Upon reading the message on his phone, Hayson frowned and said, "Mr. Arnold, please relax. Madelyn went to Portsmouth Fishing Village for some fun last night and had a minor injury. Zach is with her at the hospital now. She'll be fine."Ethan said, "Hospi
