Chapter 541

"Why don't you just bet on whether I can track down Jared?" Madeline challenged.With Colton by her side, she did not even need to break a sweat.Cilix reclined in his chair, his face shadowed with thought. "You really think Jared will take your word after what went down this morning?"Jared was the kind of guy who could not stand a speck of dirt in his eye. He had probably convinced himself that Madeline had played him, maybe even that the whole mess on the live stream was her doing.So, what kind of welcome could Madeline expect from Jared then?Cilix planned to use Madeline to get out of the Sanders Group mess and cut off all her ties.She had never been his ally.He would not let her keep rallying all those big shots to her side.Madeline had seen that coming, but hearing it out loud still turned her stomach.How could such a man call himself a father?He deserved a lightning strike!"Well, why not give it a go?"Cilix's eyes narrowed.Madeline might be carrying a Gibs

Madeline arched an eyebrow, clueless about Hector's surprise appearance.Hector was steaming. "Where on earth did you vanish to this morning?"Madeline was even more baffled. "You were looking for me?"Hector, boiling with rage, gave a trash can an angry kick.Madeline just shot it a glance and kept mum.Hector glared at her, stewing in silence for a bit before he huffed off, still in a fury.'What's his deal, anyway?' Madeline thought.Willa slipped in only after he had left, her hand pressed against her chest as she gasped. "Man, that was intense!""What's up?" Madeline finally asked.Willa spilled the beans about the morning's drama.At the crack of dawn, Hector had waltzed in with an epic breakfast spread, claiming it was for Madeline.When he saw Madeline was a no-show, his face turned stormy.However, she did not say a word.When it was lunchtime, he went out and brought back a feast. However, the studio was still a ghost town.He was so ticked off he nearly chucked

Hector shoved a notebook at her and scowled. "I got you breakfast and lunch today. That's two things. You owe me twenty points!"Madeline gave him a look. "You expect twenty points when I didn't even touch the food?""That's your problem. I bought it, didn't I? Come on, hurry up," Hector pressed, clearly losing his patience.With a scoff, Madeline slapped two negative ten stickers in his book.Hector's eyes bulged. "What's that supposed to mean?"Madeline replied icily, "You buy stuff without even asking if I'm hungry or what I want. How's that fair? No nanny in their right mind would pull a stunt like that. You can't wait for me, so you start kicking stuff and throwing tantrums, making it impossible to get any work done in the studio. It's not just about the points. Ten is the max penalty!"She would dock more if she could.Hector was fuming, teeth grinding.Madeline lifted the notebook like a shield. "Mind your tone."Gritting his teeth so hard it looked painful, Hector mana

"Why should I do what you say?"Hector was on the verge of losing it.He was already at his breaking point from making Madeline's breakfast and lunch, and then he had to take her orders? It was almost too much to handle.Madeline just watched him, unfazed.Hector's irritation deflated, and he stormed off, muttering under his breath.Twenty minutes later, Hector came back and plopped lemons down beside Madeline with a thud.Madeline glanced up from her painting to the unpeeled lemons and asked, "You think I can eat these like that?"Hector jutted out his chin defiantly. "Why not? They're the priciest lemons from the grocery store!"Was it about the price?Madeline gave him a long look. "You've got to wash the lemons, slice them up, and dunk them in water to make lemon water, you know. "All that for a drink?Hector eyed her, a warning in his voice, "Don't push it, Madeline."Madeline's lips twitched into a smirk. "That's just how I roll. What are you gonna do?""You!"Made

Madeline thought there would not be a live stream that afternoon, but the director came over excitedly, asking her to do a little teaching segment.She was supposed to show the museum folks how to do 'fire-dancing on paper'. She would broadcast live, teach, and let the viewers learn too.Hector returned with the lemonade just in time to see Madeline getting ready to head out, and he could not help the vein throbbing on his forehead. "So what am I supposed to do with this?"He had picked out the seeds one by one, nearly knocked out by the lemon's tartness.Then, Madeline had told him she was leaving. That was not how she played a joke on him!Madeline gave him a puzzled look and pulled out a flask. "Just pour it in here."'Crap! What a pain.'Madeline poured herself a glass of the lemon water and, with a lazy flick of her wrist, slapped a sticky note with a big fat six on it."Madeline!"If Madeline was not sporting a baby bump, Hector was pretty sure he would be tempted to bre

Chapter 546

After Madeline wrapped up her livestream and got back to Oralia, she found Sadie perched in her office chair, glaring at her with a mix of fury and frustration.Nash quickly jumped in with an explanation. "Ms. Sanders, Mr. Ferguson sent Ms. Ferguson here to learn the ropes. Since Willa is your only assistant, it would be great if Ms. Ferguson could team up with you."However, what Stephen really meant was that Sadie could really learn a thing or two from Madeline.Madeline fell silent. 'Is this some kind of daycare? Does Stephen dump every problem child on Oralia's doorstep?'She turned to Nash and asked seriously, "Just how many kids are in the Ferguson family?"Nash blinked, caught off guard, and replied without thinking, "Twelve."Madeline's face went pale. "Twelve?!"Nash could not figure out why Madeline was freaking out and quickly tried to clarify, "The Fergusons have been around for ages. The patriarch had three brothers and a sister. Each brother had a bunch of kids. So

Sadie flinched under his icy look, her words stumbling out."I... I didn't mean to. I... I wasn't trying too hard. It was... She wasn't steady on her feet! Yeah! She lost her balance all by herself."However, Trevon's expression remained unyielding as he replied scornfully, "Stephen's going to hear about this."Sadie went pale, scared stiff.Sure, Stephen was usually soft with them, but when he got mad, it was no joke. That was why she was there at Oralia, working without a fuss.Sadie had figured she would come in, do a good job, and in a month or so, with a little charm, that would all blow over."Trevon, I swear it was an accident. Don't rat me out to him."She turned to Madeline, biting her lip. "I'm really sorry, Madeline. I'll make it up to you, whatever you want."That was when Hector came to his senses. Seeing Sadie go white from just a few words from Trevon, he was not having it."Madeline's okay, and Sadie said she's sorry. Why keep going on about it? I bet Madeline

Chapter 548

After his chat with Jared, Colton dropped the whole Jasperia Textiles and Sanders Group scandal.Cilix had his crew spin the press, churning out a bunch of pro-Sanders Group stories, and threw down 15 million dollars to spruce up the Lowe Clan village.With paid commentators leading the charge, the online criticism of the Sanders Group gradually died down.At last, just before the market closed for the day, the Sanders Group's stocks stopped their nosedive.The decisions on what to do with the people involved were finally in place.A deputy manager at Jasperia Textiles took the fall for Hoyt and Cilix for the pollution scandal of the Lowe Clan village.

Chapter 549

Lacee, a fellow member of the Lowe Clan village, was related to Hoyt by blood, which was how she ended up as the Sanders family's nanny.Hoyt recognized her immediately.Seeing her on the ground, Hoyt's face twisted with a hint of guilt, and he cleared his throat, "What took you so long to open the door? I was worried something had happened, so I tried to kick it in. Lacee, I didn't kick you too hard, did I?"However, Lacee was in real pain, feeling sharp stabs in her lower belly, her face going white as a sheet, beaded with cold sweat.She just shook her head, though, and said, "I'm okay. Come on in."Before Hoyt could say another word, Rosie was all over him, sobbing, "My boy! You're finally home! You could've at least sent a note. Your dad and I have been sick with worry. We've hardly eaten or slept! We thought you'd been locked up!"Hoyt just looked at his parents, whose faces seemed etched with worry, and stayed silent.Skylar spat out in disgust, cursing Cilix. "That no-go

Rosie's eyes bulged, and it took an eternity for her to exhale the breath she had been holding."I knew she was nothing but trouble, luring Yale like that. If I were you, I'd have sent her packing ages ago!"She was not about to recognize any grandkids.Yale was way out of Lacee's league, so she had no business having his baby.While all that was being said, Victor just sat there, cool as a cucumber, without budging.Hoyt, who could not stand listening to another word, went over, scooped up Lacee, and rushed her to the hospital.The whole place went topsy-turvy.Lacee really was two months along, but between her poor health and all the stress, the pregnancy was on shaky ground and ended abruptly with an accidental kick from Hoyt.Hoyt mumbled awkwardly, "I... I was just trying to kick the door."Lacee just hung her head, silent.Skylar was at a loss for words.It was a sad loss, but what was done was done."You're off the hook for work for a bit. Take it easy and recover. I
