Madelyn was lost in thought.'Is that so? But why was Zach after him? I don't think Zach was helping the police; he was clearly trying to kill the man. What kind of grudge does Zach hold against him that he would send Fred to personally go after him?'Madelyn brought a bouquet of sunflowers with her. She bought them at the florist shop she usually went to, and these were the only flowers left when she went.Mya's family was in the room with her, together with Kennedy and Lem.Mya took a bite of apple and another bite of peach.'She's got such a good appetite. It seems like I was worried for nothing,' she thought.Madelyn felt relieved seeing how Mya was fine. She felt grateful but also guilty toward Mya.Mya immediately spotted Madelyn standing at the door. She shouted in excitement, "Madelyn!"Ethan did not like crowds, so he and Leyton stood outside and waited for her.Madelyn walked into the ward and saw a couple. For a moment, Madelyn could not tell which parent Mya took a
Madelyn thought, 'Did Jadie attempt to commit suicide?'Before Madelyn could greet Jadie, she was already rushed to the hospital. She had never seen her in such a disheveled and weakened state. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.Madelyn thought, 'Zach has always treasured Jadie. How could he bear to let her get hurt?'Ethan's voice brought her back to her senses, "Do you want to go check on her?"Madelyn shook her head, "No need. They can handle it."This was Jadie and Zach's business, and Madelyn did not want to be involved. Whether Jadie had attempted suicide or not, it was no longer any of her business.This time, Jadie's wound was deeper than the previous one.The nurse, who was treating Jadie's wound, frowned. The new cut was on top of the original wound. Jadie was skinny, so the new wound was deep enough that the bone showed. The previous sutures had even been sliced open by a sharp knife. There were threads embedded messily in the fl
"Stop playing around," Zach said as he grabbed her hand.He then answered the phone in front of her, "Father."Zach lightly pushed her away, along with her hand that was tightly holding onto his arm, before walking out to the balcony.Their conversation was not loud, but Jadie could faintly hear some of it. Right before he closed the door, Jadie heard Yvonne's name.Hayson said, "This is a rare opportunity for you, a chance for you to build your network in the business circle. There's no harm in going to Avalon for management training. You don't have to worry about your position. I've already arranged everything."Zach asked, "Is this your decision or the Young family's?"Hayson responded, "She's the future heir of the Young family, and you're my son. I'll always prioritize your development over Madelyn's. I hope you won't waste my efforts. This decision is final. After Madelyn gets engaged to the Arnold family, you'll go to Avalon with Yvonne for training for six months before r
At this moment, Kai received a very interesting message on his phone.He thought, 'Turns out that Donna, who had been imprisoned, is now out of jail... Interesting. She's been released just one month before the engagement. Is he really planning to make a move so soon?'"Dr. Stewart, a lady named Wincy Burton wants to see you," his medical assistant said, approaching him.Xander put his phone away and asked, "Where's she now?"The assistant responded, "I've brought her to your office."Kai replied, "Okay."As soon as Kai walked into his office, he saw an oddly familiar woman. She was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a light-colored dress and with long blonde hair. Her hands were crossed.Wincy turned around as soon as she heard the footsteps behind her and exclaimed, "It's been a long time, Dr. Stewart!" Her tone was filled with emotion.Kai waved his hand signaling his assistant behind him to leave the room. The medical assistant did so, closing the offi
In the three months of her recovery, his surprise indeed had not disappointed her. But she remembered what he said for three years.Wincy's expression was unnatural as she looked away."Why are you avoiding me?" Kai's tone was alluring.He then lifted her chin, and Wincy blushed. When she felt the soft touch on her lips, her eyes widened instantly.She thought, 'He...'Before Wincy could react, Kai deftly opened her lips and kissed her skillfully.With her physical desire awakened, Wincy impulsively decided to go along with him and kissed him back.Upon noticing that Wincy did not resist, Kai kissed her more intensely. He would never refuse a woman who willingly offered herself to him.He then suddenly lifted her skirt with his hand and grabbed her sexy, curvy, soft butt. Wincy was panting as their lips separated, out of breath.Kai asked, "Shall we take this to the bed?"Wincy was shy and began to blush. She nodded.The next second, Wincy felt her body become weightless as
"Let go of me!" Lana smelled the sickly sweet scent of perfume and a lipstick mark left on his neck, along with a red mark and rumpled clothing. It was not hard to imagine how intense Wincy and Kai's actions had been.Lana struggled. Her gaze at him was blatantly filled with disgust.Kai asked, "Are you jealous?"Lana scratched across his face with her fingernail, leaving a mark on his seductive face. Kai was in pain and released his grip. A hint of gloominess flashed past his eyes. Lana furiously got up from his lap. She adjusted her clothes before lifting her hand to slap him, "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!"Kai's face was turned to the side after being slapped, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled as he said, "You're too gentle. I prefer it when you're a bit more forceful." His gaze was filled with desire, aggressiveness, and excitement.Lana frowned tightly. She looked at him as if he were a lunatic, "For the first two accidents, we'll pretend nothing eve
Madelyn asked, "Do we really need to invite so many people? It's just an engagement." The pen ink on the card had not completely dried yet, so she put it down after taking a look.Ethan responded, "We do. You're the future lady of the Arnold family, so you'll inevitably interact with these people. Take a look at the list. If there are people you don't want to meet, we'll just strike their names off."The paper was filled with numerous names written on it.Madelyn shook her head, "I didn't expect an engagement to be so troublesome. If I were to handle it, I'd definitely back out."As soon as she said that, a vague memory suddenly flooded her mind.In the scene, she was wearing a white dress with her long, black hair cascading down smoothly. It was just before her university graduation. Instead of taking graduation photos, she went back to Zach and her house to start preparing for their upcoming wedding.She searched online for what was needed to be prepared for the wedding.After
When the warden of the women's prison went to check on Donna, who was kept in solitary isolation, the warden was furious. The Arnold family had specifically instructed that they only wanted her to suffer a little in prison, not to have her killed.If the warden had not gone to check on Donna, she might have died.On the fifth day after Donna was admitted to the hospital for treatment and woke up, she had been emotionally unstable and demanded to see Ethan, but Ethan was not someone she could just meet because she wanted to. Everyone there just thought that she was mentally ill.Donna had been reported on television before and many people knew about it, but no one would believe what a person like her said. She was simply being treated as a lunatic.When the superior ordered the subordinate to handle Donna, she was then sent to a mental hospital. She was locked up for five days there.She was tied to the bed, forcibly sedated, and given medication. Her time there had been hell, as w
