Donna's TV interview caused quite a stir in Ventropolis. People were talking about it everywhere.The reporter asked, "Ms. Jolie, you've known Ethan Arnold, the CEO of Arnold Corporation, for a long time. Why didn't you two get together later on? Were there reasons for this?"Donna said, "Indeed, there were reasons..."Donna on TV looked tired. She seemed different from her usual glamorous self. Now, she looked like someone who needed help from others.The PR department quickly told Ethan about this.People were sitting in front of their TVs, eager to hear what Donna would say next. But suddenly, the live broadcast was cut off. The screen turned all fuzzy, and nobody could see anything."What a buzzkill! Why did they cut it off?""Who knows! If the CEO really liked her, why did he get engaged to someone else?""Poor Donna. They were together for so long, and now they've broken up. Maybe someone got in the way?"At Ventropolis News, some men in black suits came in without sayin
Ethan wanted to see Donna behind bars. She fiercely resisted as the police led her away, screaming and wrestling with the officers. However, despite her determined efforts, Donna couldn't break free. They restrained her with handcuffs and escorted her directly to the police station.Leyton got back to Ethan within an hour.Arnold Corporation soon released an official statement: [Regarding Donna Jolie's statements in today's live broadcast, our investigation has verified them as false. We urge everyone to exercise caution. Any further attempts to spread false information about Arnold Corporation will result in legal action, and those held responsible will be accountable for any harm inflicted upon Arnold Corporation. Immediate legal actions have already been set in motion in response to today's groundless accusations against our CEO.]The statement also announced the engagement of Ethan Arnold, the CEO of Arnold Corporation, to Madelyn Jent, the daughter of the Jent family. Their e
Ethan had cooked a few dishes, just enough for the two of them."Have a taste of this," Ethan said, handing Madelyn a piece of honey-flavored pork rib.Madelyn took a bite and exclaimed, "Yummy!""Yeah, I made all your favorites," he replied with a smile.Madelyn thought, 'His cooking is always delicious.'After dinner, Madelyn went to Ethan's study. He was working on important stuff for his company, and she quietly focused on her practice papers. Even though she wasn't going to regular classes, she had her own study plan. The current class progress didn't matter much to Madelyn. She had a goal to boost her grades in just two months, and it was proving to be a bit tough.But because she already had a good foundation in her subjects, it wouldn't be too hard, just a little challenging.Ethan had his headphones on, listening to Leyton's report. "Mr. Arnold, about the dress for the engagement, should we arrange for the designer to meet with Miss Jent this weekend for her to choose?
"I say I'll always be by your side forever. If you don't like him, you shouldn't force yourself."Madelyn sat up, "I think I do like him, but it's just taking me some time to get used to it. I... I don't know. What about you? Do you like him?""It's your choice. As long as you like him, I will accept him.""I don't even know if this is the right thing to do. What about you... did you like Father? How did you get together in the first place?"In an instant, the figure by the bed didn't answer and disappeared.The next morning, the first rays of light broke through.These past few days had been calm, without a single ripple. However, the calmer it was, the harder it was for Madelyn to find peace of mind.This weekend, Madelyn had hoped to sleep in, but the commotion of a servant knocking at her door disturbed her."Miss Jent, it's time to wake up. Mr. Arnold is waiting for you downstairs.""Alright," Madelyn mumbled groggily, then quickly turned over and went back to sleep.The
"Am I still your father? For something as big as your engagement, you didn't even bother to call me?" Hayson asked.Madelyn mumbled her response.Hayson rarely talked to her, and lately, he had only called a few times. Usually, Zach handled things when there were issues. 'He must be calling just to look like a good father in front of Ethan.'She said quickly, "I'm sorry, Father. I was gonna tell everyone in a few days. How are you and Jasmine?""We're good. But you should have hid your engagement from me. We'll talk more when I'm back.""I..." Madelyn's heart raced, and she looked at Ethan for help.Ethan reached for her phone and smiled, "I've got this. You go freshen up."Madelyn nodded without saying anything and handed her phone to Ethan. Then, she rushed into the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up completely. She splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up completely. At first, she thought Ethan was just making a casual remark about
The makeup artist asked, "Miss Jent, do you have any specific makeup you want?""Specific makeup?""Yeah, it's for your engagement. We're trying out your makeup look.""I see." Madelyn looked down, lost in thought.The makeup artist explained, "We're going to try out your whole look, including your hairstyle, for your engagement. If you don't like something, we can change it.""Okay."Madelyn's skin was already flawless, so she didn't need much foundation. Her soft features and creamy skin had a special charm. She had a natural beauty that could wow anyone, like a beautiful rose, both attractive and elegant. Her body, style, and clothes made her stand out easily. It was clear that as she got older, she would make a lot of guys go wild.It took two whole hours for styling and makeup, and by the end, Madelyn was almost falling asleep."Miss Jent, you can take a look now. Do you like it?""It's alright. What do you all think?"Both the stylists and makeup artists were in awe of
"Don't you think it's too early for wedding dress shopping, Ethan? We're not even engaged yet," Madelyn asked.Ethan replied gently, "Nah, it's never too early for that. Getting engaged and married is just a matter of time."The manager noticed something was up between them and gave a friendly smile. "Miss Jent has a point. She's still growing, and if we order the dress now, it might not fit properly even after fitting sessions later. That wouldn't be ideal for the big day. How about we wait until you've set a wedding date?"Ethan ran his thumb along the back of Madelyn's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "That sounds like a plan. Let's wait for your father to get here today, finalize the wedding details, and then we can go find that perfect dress."Madelyn beamed, "Sounds good to me!"Meanwhile, Kevin knocked on the door and walked into Zach's office at Azure Corporation. "Mr. Jardin, there are some papers that need your signature for the construction costs."Zach glanced at
Wincy Burton came over and slammed her hands on Zach's desk. She was really bold. "Zach Jardin, twenty-six years old, godson adopted by Hayson Jent. "You sponsored a pretty student from a music academy, and she somehow died at a ski resort last year after an argument with you. "Two months ago, you handed over Alma's development rights to my brother. You also made a deal with Regal Corporation for Alma's development, but it's only supposed to last three months. Oddly enough, my brother ended up in jail, and the day before you visited him, he died mysteriously in there."Kevin didn't look happy. "Miss Burton, please mind your words. This is a workplace. If you keep causing a scene, we can call the police."Wincy grinned. "Sure, call them! Let the cops investigate my brother's case properly. He was perfectly fine, so why was he arrested and then suddenly died?"Zach put down his papers and told Kevin, "Please leave."Kevin nodded and left, closing the door behind him.Zach stood
