Madelyn did not bring much luggage. She only packed one suitcase with her. When she arrived at the room, she noticed it was pretty large.Jane told Madelyn, "When we finish unpacking, I'll bring you to meet two people. They also came with the professor and are both your seniors."Madelyn asked, "Where's the professor?"Jane answered, "The professor went to meet with a few of the school administrators. He also has a social engagement tonight and might return very late."At the exact moment, the door to the hotel room was knocked on. Jane went to open the door and saw it was the concierge and room attendant. Jane spoke with them and shouted, "Madelyn, they're looking for you."Madelyn stopped in her tracks and walked outside. Jane looked at Madelyn and asked, "Do you need me to translate?"Madelyn smiled and replied, "There is no need. My Etlinish is fine."After communicating with them, she realized they were here to send her clothes and the daily essentials. During their talk, n
Dorian pulled Madelyn by the wrist and made her sit down. He said, "How could we let our junior pay the bill? You've paid enough for the trip already."A blonde floor manager walked over just as Jane pulled out her wallet. No one expected the manager to say, "Mr. Arnold is a VIP member of this hotel, so his wife would also be able to enjoy similar benefits from the hotel. All expenses are free, and there is no need to pay. In addition, you can enjoy all the entertainment in this hotel."After she said this, the three of them looked at Madelyn. Madelyn did not say anything, as this was something Ethan would do. However, she did not know why she felt burdened the more Ethan did for her. Although everything he did for her was well deserved, she still felt she owed him a lot.After they finished their meal, they returned to their respective rooms. Since their meal, Jane only spoke a little. Madelyn walked behind her while texting Ethan until Jane closed the door.Jane took her pajamas
Madelyn often had trouble sleeping in a new or unfamiliar bed. She did not sleep well that night, drifting in and out of consciousness.Madelyn had just gotten out of bed after the wake-up call for the room came. Then, she noticed that Jane had already freshened up and done her hair in front of the vanity mirror at some point. Madelyn sat on the bed with dark circles under her eyes and seemed not well-rested.Jane looked at her through the mirror, reminding her, "Don't forget your registration at the Paris Art Academy today. Do you know which class you're in?"Madelyn rubbed her temples wearily and weakly replied, "I know.""Good. I won't accompany you there. You can call me later if you can't find your way."Madelyn answered, "Okay."Jane had specially put on makeup to cover the freckles on her face and wore black-framed glasses today. Looking at the room key on the table, she hesitated briefly but took it. Then, Jane picked up her bag and left. When she reached the room's door,
Dorian mentioned the address they were going to and then asked the concierge, "Excuse me, does the hotel offer a shuttle service to this location?"The concierge said, "A private car service is available for 200 dollars with a 100-dollar service fee."Dorian exclaimed, "Oh my! That's way too expensive. What about them? We are with the two who just left. Why don't we have a car when they do?"The concierge explained, "I apologize, sir. It's an exclusive VIP service provided by our hotel. The young lady you mentioned is a distinguished member of this hotel, so she enjoys this service free of charge."Dorian curiously asked, "How much does it cost to become a member?"The concierge responded with a friendly smile, "Three million dollars in cash.""What! So expensive? Oh my! If only I had known, I would have gone with her."Jane turned somewhat frosty under the sun, saying, "It's difficult to find a taxi now. We'll pay the 300 dollars. Please arrange a car for us."Dorian exclaimed
The child's gaze was innocent and naive. Ethan felt a jolt in his heart when he lowered his head to meet the child's eyes. With a glance, it reminded him of the painful memories from his childhood. Ethan's complexion was even more unpleasant than expected, and his demeanor became icy.Evelyn gave a signal to Marta. Understanding the look, Marta stepped forward and picked up the child. "Mr. Arnold Jr., I'll take you to play with toys. Mr. Arnold has important matters to discuss."The child cried and reached out to Ethan, saying, "I want Daddy to hold me."Ethan gave the child an icy glance with a cold demeanor. Then, he walked away and sat down on a nearby sofa.Donna maintained a smile and never shifted her gaze away from him. The child cried, wanting to come down. Then, he immediately ran over to Donna. She reached out and placed the child on her lap. The child clung to her neck with both hands, tearfully expressing his sorrow, "Mommy, why doesn't Daddy like me? Did I do something
"Isn't it too early to discuss all this now? There's an important company meeting, and I need to rush back," Ethan said as he turned to leave.Ethan's footsteps halted as he turned around and stared coldly at Donna. "By the way, let me give you a piece of advice. The Arnold residence isn't where anyone can come and go as they please. Outsiders should leave as soon as possible."Donna suddenly caught up with him. She thought, 'Despite my attempt to compromise by taking a step back, he still refuses to reconsider. Am I really inferior to someone like Madelyn, who can't even have children? If that's the case, what's the point of everything I have done and all the suffering I've endured in the past five years?'I don't want to accept this. Originally, the position of Mrs. Arnold was mine. Why did someone else take it over? I won't accept it! He used half his life to win Madelyn. What about me? Back then, he risked his life to win me back. Now that I'm back, what's he doing?'"Fine! You
After returning to the hotel, Donna gave Robin's wound some basic first aid. He was exhausted after crying all along the way and eventually fell into a deep sleep. Robin felt extremely chilly when he woke up, "Mommy, what are you doing?"In the bathroom, Donna poured cold water over his head, causing him to struggle and try to stand up in the bathtub. However, Donna pressed him down with one hand."Mommy, I'm so cold." Robin shivered violently from the cold, and his body turned blue. He hugged himself tightly and trembled.Donna smiled as she touched his hair, "Robin, be a good boy and endure for a while. Listen to Mommy. Daddy will come to visit you very soon. After that, we can be together as a family, and you will have your Daddy soon."Robin widened his innocent eyes and nodded, "Okay. I'll listen to you, Mommy.""Good boy. I'll buy you your favorite ice cream later.""Okay!"A room service attendant brought a basket of ice cubes. Then, Donna poured them all into the bathtub
Ethan wiped his hands with a warm towel. "I've said it before, Mr. Jent. In front of Madelyn, I'll address you as my father-in-law. We're family, after all. What I'm doing is for your own good. The Azure Corporation becoming part of the Arnold Corporation will be a win-win situation for both of us, after all."Currently, Azure Corporation has an annual profit of around 50 million. Under Arnold Corporation, its estimated annual revenue would be at least three billion. Three billion is a minor sum for Arnold Corporation, hardly worth mentioning. Moreover, Arnold Corporation will not interfere with Azure Corporation's decision-making unless necessary. Mr. Jent, you'll still hold the same position, but the role of CEO will be replaced by someone else."Hayson's temples pulsed with veins, anger flaring in his eyes. However, he still maintained a calm facade with a smile. "Mr. Arnold, the company's performance under Zach's leadership over these years has been evident to all the employees.
