Kevin thought, 'I'm surprised that Ms. Jent still hasn't moved on from Ethan after so long!'But it makes sense; compared to the living, it's the deceased who leave a more lasting impact on people emotionally.'Madelyn was stubborn. Although Kevin did not know exactly what happened. He could somewhat guess it. He could not imagine what happened after Cecilia went back to Southern Haven Villas with Zach last night. But he did not expect Madelyn to be the one who got kicked out of the villa.Zach was gripping the red jewel ring. The sharp edge of the gemstone stimulates Zach's wound which had not fully healed. Blood could then be seen on the bandage.Kevin asked, "Mr. Jardin, should we have someone take Ms. Jent back?!"Right after he said that, they saw Clement cover Madelyn's legs with a thin blanket. He sat down beside her and said, "I thought you went home."Clement, who was drunk, had actually sobered up when she left. He was standing on the third floor watching her for a very
Zach said, "Cecilia is still useful to me. I can guarantee she won't appear again in the future..."Madelyn lifted her head to meet his cold gaze, "That's none of my business! Whether you send her abroad or bring her back, it's none of my business. I've already forgotten everything that happened today. It's meaningless to bring it up now. That villa belongs to you. I was just staying there temporarily. I'll have Margaret remove my things from the villa tomorrow."Kevin stepped forward and frowned. His expression seemed to say she was not grateful.He said, "Ms. Jent, it's unavoidable for Mr. Jardin to attend social events. Cecilia is the Deputy CEO of Jardin Corporation. It was pre-planned for her to attend the event with Mr. Jardin. Mr. Jardin's stomach hasn't been well for a while. His stomach was just acting up last night. He hasn't eaten since you left...""That's enough!" Madelyn vigorously stood up and glared at him, "You got to where you are now because you're capable. Those
'How could he just dismiss everything he said and everything that had happened just like that?' Madelyn thought to herself."Zach Jardin, don't regret the words you said," Madelyn sounded cold and resolute.At this moment, Madelyn raised the fruit knife in her hand and thrust it toward Zach without hesitation. Kevin's eyes widened in shock as he immediately tried to grab Madelyn's wrist. However, he was too slow, and the sharp fruit knife had already pierced through Zach's neck.Zach felt a sharp pain and something warm flowing down his neck. He reached out to touch it and his fingertips were stained with fresh blood. The pain was nothing to him as the chill he felt inside overpowered it.Madelyn really wanted to kill him!"Mr. Jardin!" Kevin immediately took the fruit knife from Madelyn's hand and threw it aside.Zach raised his hand, signaling that he was fine.The wound was not very deep.Zach stood up from the sofa and he was almost a head taller than Madelyn. An icy, stron
"Anyone who ends up in Ventropolis Prison can never come out alive. You'd better think carefully before deciding what you want to do. I'm the only person who can bring someone back alive from his hands."Madelyn knew how dreadful of a place the Ventropolis Prison was. It was a prison for death row inmates, and those taken there would usually end up either dead or severely injured.Even an innocent person who ended up there would return to be an incomplete corpse.Zach sat in his seat, and the maid had already set up two pairs of utensils.Madelyn took a deep breath. She tried her best to suppress her emotions as she pressed her fingernails deep into her palms.In the end, she gave in.Madelyn only took a few bites of her food and did not touch the dishes Zach had served her at all.Before they realized it, it was already past midnight.When Zach finished eating, the dishes on the table were already cold.As Zach set down his fork and knife, Madelyn said nonchalantly, "I hope y
Madelyn cautiously approached Zach and realized that he was just lying still. She figured that given how vigilant he was, he would have been awake when she was this close.Madelyn reached out to touch him, "Z-Zach?" she called out to him softly.At this moment, Zach abruptly opened his eyes. The hostility in his eyes startled Madelyn. In the next second, he forcefully grabbed her hand and threw her onto the bed. After that, he went on top of her.Madelyn was like a frightened puppy, feeling lost and scared. Zach then placed her head next to her ear, and she could hear his faint breath, as if he had fallen asleep."Zach, you're hurting me. Get up."Zach stayed still.Very soon, Madelyn felt that something was wrong. His body was scorching.She looked down on her light-colored nightgown and found out that it had been dyed red with fresh blood. She suddenly held her breath and noticed that Zach had not treated his wound on his neck, which was already festering.'Is it infected and
At first, Kevin did not think too much of it and sent a location without asking any questions.However, he received a reply after a few seconds.Madelyn was both angry and surprised. She knew that Zach could be shameless, but not to this point. Mya was at Floral Loft, yet Zach had lied to her, saying that she was in the Ventropolis Prison. 'What a jerk!' Madelyn cursed inwardly.Madelyn took her ID and went out of the study. She glared at the unconscious man on the bed and took the chance to slap him twice across the face.Then, she immediately packed some of her belongings and ran out of the house. After that, she told George to drive her to Floral Loft.Meanwhile, Mya was still unaware of what was happening. She was eating cupcakes, one after another. As for Blake, she sat at the side and watched a new variety show featuring her idol."Mya, you've been eating for days. Are you not going to cut it down a little? You won't be able to lose any weight if you keep eating," Blake sai
Blake cautiously went to the door and peeked through the cat's eye. She was surprised to see that person outside the door.She opened the door and asked, "Madelyn, what brought you here?""Hm? Madelyn? Is Madelyn here?"Mya's eyes instantly lit up. She did not even bother finishing the snacks in her hands as she hastily put on her shoe and went outside. She hugged Madelyn and said, "Madelyn, I missed you so much. What took you so long to come here?"Madelyn was a little out of breath from the hug. "Mya, when did you start living here?""I forgot, Madelyn, come inside with me!" Mya dragged Madelyn into the house, but Madelyn refused to move."It's fine. I'm here to tell you something. Mya, you've got to go home now. Your mom and dad are..." Madelyn hesitated and stopped talking.'Mya is lucky to be alive. Judging by how she looks, she probably doesn't know that she has been deceived by Fred.' Madelyn thought to herself."What's with Mom and Dad? Are they angry because I spent to
Madelyn sat in the backseat to take a nap. She woke up when the car hit a bump and saw completely unfamiliar surroundings. She asked, "Where are we now, mister?""This is Southgate City. We're almost at Martinsburg. It'll take around 40 minutes," The taxi driver answered.Madelyn requested, "Drop me off here."The taxi driver was shocked, "Don't you want to reach Marisburg? You've already paid for the fare, and I won't be returning it."Madelyn replied, "Mhm, that's fine."The taxi driver was pleased and left her at a busy market. By the time Zach wakes up, he would definitely assume she was at Marisburg. Madelyn needed to stay and hide here for a while before returning when the coast was clear. After Madelyn got out of the taxi, she went to a motel that did not require any identification for a room."Young lady, it seems you've come to Southgate City alone to look for a job. If you want a job, I can introduce you to it. As long as you work hard, five or six thousand a month shou
