Mya thought, 'Madelyn and Zach?'She had never known that Madelyn had this kind of relationship with Zach. She wondered when they had started sleeping together.'Oh my goodness.' Mya felt very uncomfortable.All the days she had been staying here, she thought Madelyn was still in love with Ethan.She never expected this...She was lost in her thoughts, 'Oh no, this is so confusing. What about Dalton? Is he not Ethan's? Dalton looks so much like Madelyn. I thought...'If this is the case, isn't Madelyn basically becoming a mistress now?'Margaret noticed Mya did not look right, so she asked, "Ms. Harper, what's wrong?"Mya slapped her own face hard, trying to snap herself back to reality, "It's impossible, it's impossible. Madelyn definitely wouldn't be with him. I must be dreaming."However, she did not dare to ask Madelyn about it, so she asked Margaret, "What's the relationship between Madelyn and that jerk?! Didn't she like Ethan all this time? Why's she with this jerk now?
Madelyn continued to ponder, 'The Arnold family and the Young family had all long been in his pocket. Why did he kill Ethan?!'Madelyn did not want to cause any trouble for Mya, so she did not tell her that Ethan was dead.Not only Mya, but even the outside world did not know about the news.Zach had reached the point where he could single-handedly control Ventropolis. No one could stop him from doing whatever he wanted.Madelyn said, "Mya... Can you leave for a while? I'm tired. I want to sleep a little more."Tears streamed down Mya's face when she looked at Madelyn who was in this horrible state. She responded, "Okay. You sleep well. I won't disturb you."After Mya left the room, she wiped her tears and silently resolved to help Madelyn escape...At Jardin Corporation, after Zach ended the meeting, Kevin placed a file folder on Zach's desk, "This is Felicia Bolton's medical condition at the hospital. She was taken away by Fred on the day she came to the company."Here... The
The sky quickly darkened, and the night was hazy.At Supreme World, the most expensive entertainment hub in Ventropolis, in the underground fighting arena, at the two highest seats, Fred had a beautiful woman wearing a sexy purple short dress seated on his lap. Her long hair was tied up using a vintage butterfly hairpin. Her face showed reluctance, but she maintained a forced smile. She peeled a grape and fed it to Fred's mouth.Fred said, "My people have found information about the person you're looking for on Truoban border. We should have a lead in about a week. Do you want me to take care of him?"Zach responded, "He's just an illegitimate child. You don't need to deal with him. He can't cause any trouble."After Zach said that, the female companion beside him handed him a glass of wine. He was staring at the fighters fighting below, one in black and the other in red. The one in black was being pinned down on the ground and aggressively attacked by the one in red. The fighter i
Margaret had just fed Dalton some milk. He looked drowsy as he happily leaned on Madelyn's shoulder.Upon noticing that Dalton was sleepy, Madelyn took out a shopping card, that she had not used for a long time, from her wallet and handed it to Mya, "He gave me this shopping card, and I rarely use it."Mya waved her hand to reject it, "No need. Actually, I came out with you this time to relax with you. Moreover, you've already made me very happy by buying all these beautiful clothes for me."At the entrance, Mya tiptoed and hugged Madelyn lightly, "If you miss me, just call me and I'll come to be with you right away."Madelyn responded, "Sure. I've already arranged a car for you. Send me a text when you're home."Mya let go of her and nodded, "Okay."The bodyguards put the stuff in the trunk. Mya then got in the car and left. Just when Madelyn was about to leave too, a luxury Rolls-Royce pulled up next to her.Before Kevin could get out of the car to open the door for Zach, Zach
Margaret took Dalton from Madelyn and said, "I'll take him upstairs for a bath."Madelyn responded, "Sure."She then grabbed a macaron and tasted it. It tasted different from the ones she made herself. It was a little too sweet.She said, "Put these in the refrigerator. I'll make macarons myself tomorrow."The maid responded, "Okay."Zach took off his suit jacket and handed it to a maid to hang it on the coat rack in the hallway. He said, "The macarons the maid made weren't to your liking?"Madelyn replied extremely coldly, "I'm going upstairs now."The maids did not sense anything unusual. They felt Zach had always treated Madelyn very well. They also noticed Zach would buy the best jewelry for Madelyn.The maids felt that way also because some time ago, when Madelyn thought Zach was always spending the whole night away from home, he actually came back in the middle of the night every day to secretly check on Madelyn. He even instructed the maids not to reveal anything to her.
Madelyn thought, 'In the past life, Zach locked me in the villa for eight years. Before I died, I even saw him announce his marriage to Cecilia on television. And now he's telling me that he won't have any other woman in the future?'Madelyn pushed Zach away, "I'm going to take a shower now."She did not believe a single word he said.That night, she had the same nightmare again. She dreamt of Ethan being in an airplane crash...A few days later, Mya was at home eating the pastries that Madelyn had sent over. Blake, who had just come out of the bathroom, had a towel wrapped around her head. Water was still dripping down from the ends of her hair.Blake said, "Mya, stop eating. If you continue eating, you won't be able to lose weight."Mya held different pastries in each hand and took a bite of each one. She then said, "I don't mind getting a little fatter. Whatever Madelyn sent over, I'll finish them all."Blake had to feel around to find her glasses. Not long after putting them
Mya could not wait to put on the bra that she thought was sent by Madelyn. She ran to the bathroom to change. After putting it on, while looking in the mirror, she felt that her face was slightly flushed. She thought, 'This bra can't conceal anything, it's so revealing.'She said to herself, "What's happening? Why did Madelyn send me this kind of lingerie? But luckily, I'll be wearing it inside, and no one will see anything."Mya looked at herself in the mirror repeatedly. Her expression showed that she liked the gift.Her phone that she placed on the sink suddenly vibrated. She saw someone, an unknown number, send her a text message.The sender asked: [Did you like the gift?]Mya happily replied: [l like anything that you give me.]She then took a few photos and sent them along with a text: [I like it very much. Have you seen the gift I gave you?]The sender quickly responded: [Yes. It's nice.]Mya replied: [I'm glad you like it. If it's not enough, I have plenty more at home.
Pamela was a top hostess in Nightfall. Everyone who had been frequenting nightclubs knew about Fred's ruthlessness.Fred loved women, especially married women. The woman who had offended him last time was pulled off the roof by her husband along with her child.People like Fred had no morals and switched between women very frequently.Mya, who was still unaware of the impending danger, was confused. She took several steps back. Fred's henchmen were behind her, so she could not escape.When she saw him approach her, she asked, "W-What are you trying to do?"While she was talking, Fred had already gone behind Mya. He unfastened the silver necklace before helping Mya to wear it around her neck.The sales assistant had never seen someone being so fickle before. She quickly realized what was happening. She then took a mirror and held it in front of Mya, "Miss, you have excellent taste. This necklace suits you very well."Fred said, "Pack it."Mya seemed puzzled as she stared at him.
Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched.Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; I didn't want you to have to come out in this weather."As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. 'Am I losing my mind?' she thought."Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... I was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything I have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.A maid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Ackno
Cecilia said, "It's fine. Let's give them a week. Rearrange the flight and all the plans for the trip. This is Blake's first time getting married and going abroad for honeymoon. I want to make sure she has a good time."Susan nodded. "Okay, Ms. Samford."Not long after Cecilia left, three editors who used to work for Olivia's company entered her office. All of them spoke in panic, "Ms. Blue, what should we do? Ms. Samford already knows everything. If the legal department finds out about it, will we go to jail?"Olivia remained calm as she said, "Don't panic. Just focus on your work.""But we got into this company through you. What if they say we got into this company through the back door and then fired us?"Olivia sat at her desk, supporting her forehead with her hands. She was obviously panicking. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."You guys can leave now."Olivia did not expect this matter to be exposed so soon. She wondered how Cecilia found out about it. 'Could it be that she'
StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.Olivia put down the documents in her hand. "Ms. Samford, what brings you here?"With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. "StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to see me."Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained s
Liam stood up. He watched as Blake, who looked weary, walked away. "Blake, what do you want me to do so you'll like me?"Blake did not stop walking. Instead, she took even bigger steps and left.She went to the Harper residence, which surprised everyone.Grace asked, "Blake? Why did you come back here? Where's Liam? Why didn't he come back with you?"Blake stuttered, unable to find the words. She just made up an excuse, saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to come back."After Hannah and Yael left the wedding last night, they went back to the research institute.As for Simon, he went to the farm to manage the business.After Blake went to her room, Grace became worried. She followed her and saw her sitting with a blank expression in the room, not knowing what to do.When Blake saw Grace, she quickly adjusted her mood. "Grace, why are you here?""I came to check on you. Blake, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Liam? You just had your wedding yesterday, and you're already
The pregnancy test report came out fifteen minutes after Blake did the test. She was indeed pregnant. She was even seven weeks pregnant.Blake had indeed been involved with Kevin while in Northern Myanmar over a month ago.She held the medical report while standing bewildered in the cold hospital corridor. Lights shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto her body, but all Blake felt was the cold, which made her hands and feet numb.She was lost in her thoughts. 'I'm really pregnant. What should I do with this baby? I want it to be born more than anyone else. But now, everything has changed. This child shouldn't come into this world.'She wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, she saw someone coming out of another gynecological room.She thought, 'Some things are just destined by fate. When I long to see him, even catching a glimpse of him in a dream feels like a luxury, an unattainable wish. But now, when I don't want to see him, it seems he appears everywhere I go.'Kevin supp
Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime
Blake continued, "What about you, Liam? Do you mind?"If you do, you can choose to divorce me. After all, I've wronged you. No one wants to marry a woman who's carrying someone else's child."Liam stepped forward on the shattered cup and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. Blake, I love you, including everything about you. I don't mind your past. I just want to start over with you. I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I was selfish; I wanted to keep you by my side."Blake, your child is my child. I want to raise the baby with you."Don't leave me, okay?"Blake did not know why, but she was not surprised by her pregnancy. However, she felt that there were still some things that she could not let go of, though she was unsure what those were.She was not as calm as she had imagined.She thought about her past events. Then, she indifferently said, "Liam, I don't want this child. Since I'm prepared to be with you, I won't keep this child. It wouldn't be fair to you."Liam di
On this romantic night, the moon was obscured by the clouds.Breathing heavily, Blake felt some pain in her abdomen. She asked to stop. "Liam, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have my period soon."Liam sobered up instantly. "I'll go get you some medicine."She peeked out from under the blanket as the bedside lamp turned on. She could clearly see Liam's naked upper body. Her face flushed as she averted her gaze. "It's fine. Just help me call the front desk and ask them to bring up a pack of sanitary pads. I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."Liam replied, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."Blake picked up her clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom. "It's okay. It's probably just my period."However, judging by the blood flowing out, it did not seem like menstrual blood to Blake. It looked like something else.Blake's voice came from the bathroom again. "I think we should go to the hospital."She sat on the toilet and watched the tall, slende
Blake had no bridesmaids, so she returned to the hotel room alone. As she stepped out of the elevator and was ready to use the room key card in her hand to swipe and enter the room, she suddenly saw a figure appear from the corner of her eye.She stopped her action and looked at the person who had left the wedding earlier.At that moment, Blake felt her breath catch, but it was only fleeting. She then quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"Kevin replied, "Congratulations."Upon hearing his congratulations, Blake felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. "There's nothing to congratulate. If anything, I should congratulate you. You're soon to be the mayor's son-in-law. In the future, we won't belong in the same social class anymore."I'm tired and came back to rest. You should leave now before Liam comes up and sees you here."Don't look for me again. I don't want him to misunderstand."Kevin responded, "Audrey and
