Kai was no longer in the mood. He walked over to the couch and sat down as the two hostesses followed him and moved into his arms.Wincy turned around and stormed over. Then, she threw her Chanel bag at Kai, which he blocked with his hand."Enough of your tantrums," he said with slight anger.'Who's he to be mad at me?' thought Wincy.She retorted, "You called me over just to embarrass me and use me as a toy for your amusement?"Kai crossed his legs and pulled one of the hostesses closer, "Amusement? Not at all. Ms. Burton, you must be well aware that we're all adults here. It's just fun and games. Some things are not meant to be taken seriously.""You're saying all this because you don't want to take responsibility for what happened. You know that was my..." Wincy was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.Meanwhile, Kai was not bothered at all."Your what? Your first time? So what if I knew? I've taken so many women's first time; am I supposed to take responsibility for ever
Yvonne sensed the hostility in his eyes. At this moment, she truly believed Zach would kill her, but she did not resist in any way.Zach said, "Think it through. I'm not a gentleman, and I don't like anyone meddling in my affairs. Next time... I won't guarantee you'll live to see the next sunrise."When he noticed that she was about to pass out, he loosened his grip.Yvonne covered her chest as she gasped for air. She bent over and coughed continuously.Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she watched the car drive away. She then collapsed weakly to the ground.She clenched her teeth. Despite all the suffering, she stubbornly stood up unsteadily. She then got into her car and quickly followed him.But this time, Yvonne lost track of him.She stared at the bustling airport. She searched the airport, but she could not find Zach.She thought, 'Back when Madelyn persistently pursued him, he didn't fall for her. Now that she's the future Mrs. Arnold, Zach's actually startin
The courses at Paris Art Academy were not easy. Madelyn lived a routine life, eating, sleeping, and attending classes.It was a rare exchange program opportunity, so she spent most of her time on her courses.After school in the afternoon, she would talk to Ethan on the phone every day chatting about daily matters.Leonardo took the students to participate in an international painting competition. Other than having dinners together, they rarely met.After Madelyn returned to the hotel, she would stay in her room. Occasionally, she would check the news back home in Ventropolis.A news notification suddenly caught her attention when she was about to put her phone down. It was about the Azure Corporation.She then clicked open the news and saw the eye-catching headlines of "Azure Corporation Merges With a Subsidiary of Arnold Corporation". The content was: [Zach Jardin, the acting CEO of the Azure Corporation, was relieved from his position on the grounds of mismanagement. He is cur
It had been the very same night that Madelyn and Zach were supposed to get married.The traffic was quite heavy. An hour and a half later, Dorian dropped her off at the airport and left.Madelyn did not have to wait long at the airport before boarding the plane early. The flight to Ventropolis would take more than eight hours, so she would likely arrive at the hospital by around nine at night.Meanwhile, Zach received the news of Madelyn's flight back to the country.At the SereneCare Hospital, Hayson was in a coma on the hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask. His heart rate was normal, but there was no sign of him regaining consciousness.He was staying in the exclusive VIP ward, and the doctor in charge of his treatment was Kai.Zach and Kai seemed to share an unspoken understanding as Kai calmly explained Hayson's current condition.When Kai was writing the report, he said mockingly without looking up, "You really did it just to make her come back. You'll do whatever needs to b
Zach opened the front passenger door and saw that Madelyn was still standing still. She asked, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?" Madelyn hesitated and did not want to get into the car.Zach responded, "Any Jent family's affairs aren't to be taken lightly. The news that Father is seriously ill can't be leaked out to the public at all. Don't expect any outsiders to come."Why are you so afraid that I'll harm you?"His gaze was invasive and showed a strong sense of possessiveness. Madelyn took a step back. No matter how she looked at the situation, she felt that Zach was inviting her to walk right into his trap.After the engagement banquet, Madelyn had not seen Zach. Although he had been relieved of his position, he still looked extremely calm."Don't waste time. Get in the car!" Zach's attitude changed very quickly. He squinted to warn her.Madelyn was cautious of him, but she still got into the car in the end.Zach walked toward her. She knew about his inten
Madelyn continued saying, "Is it not enough that you have them both?"She thought, 'Maybe he'll even meet Cecilia again soon. When that happens, will he still say things like he does things for me? He's always liked to treat me as if I know nothing. He likes to sweet-talk and deceive me.'Zach calmly looked at her, "Well, I want you again. Now what?"Madelyn instantly opened her eyes wide as she looked at him in disbelief.He suddenly reached out and pulled her. Somehow, her seatbelt was unfastened. He held onto her waist with one hand. His eyes were extremely intense. Seeing her shocked and covering herself, he was reminded of the first time in the hotel when he had sex with her and made her cry. She had appeared so pitiful and helpless.This made his mouth dry, and his tongue felt parched. This was his first time feeling this.He did not expect that once he had sex with her, it would become so addictive. Zach's intense desire for Madelyn became increasingly overwhelming.He th
Madelyn was forcefully dragged back to the Southern Haven Villas with tears in her eyes.As soon as they entered the house, Zach locked the door.Jasmine was sitting on the couch in the living room. She was munching on some cherries and stood up as she heard the movement behind her."You're back?"Madelyn forcefully shook off his hand. When she opened the door and tried to leave, the bodyguards at the entrance blocked her way.Jasmine smiled as she tenderly said, "What's wrong? Are you two siblings arguing again? Zach... Madelyn is your sis, you should give in to her."Madelyn could not leave. She accepted the situation and wiped her tears. She expressionlessly turned around and said, "I'm going upstairs to check on my father."Jasmine's gaze was cold as she smiled slightly, "Go ahead. Your father's aware of what you're saying, but he just doesn't respond. Talk to him more, and maybe he'll wake up soon."Madelyn went upstairs without responding. She could then hear Jasmine's vo
Zach took a big step forward. He forcefully lifted her and walked directly toward the third floor.Madelyn shouted, "What are you doing? Put me down. Don't touch me!"Zach ignored her yells and kicked open the door. He then found the light switch on the wall and switched it on. After that, he just tossed her onto the bed. This bed was even softer and more elastic than the previous one, so she bounced a little when she landed, leaving her a little dizzy.Her phone dropped onto the ground, and the battery fell out. Ever since she had gotten this new phone, it would not break no matter how many times it dropped. It had even survived after being submerged in water.Zach picked up the phone from the floor and reinserted the battery, "You aren't married yet. Don't forget that you still belong to the Jent family. If you keep running away to other people's houses or keep being disobedient, I'll restrict all your freedoms, including your trip back to Paris.""You bastard. If you dare to do
