A photo was sent to a Jardin Corporation employee's group chat.The photo was accompanied by a text: [Oh my, Blake looks like a person with integrity, but she's actually fooling around. Isn't she with Mr. Harrison? Yet, she's holding another man's hand in public.]People started replying to it in the group chat just a few seconds later: [Mind your own business! She comes from a powerful family. She even has the support of the CEO's wife. She has nothing to worry about.][Yes! You better not interfere. Otherwise, Blake might get unhappy and ask the CEO to fire you. Anyway... Just stay away from her.][Sigh, we don't have a strong family background! We have to work so much every day. She has nothing to do in the office, and yet, her salary is higher than mine. It's so frustrating how unfair life is!]Blake still had no idea that so many people were talking bad about her behind her back. The conversation in that group chat had been screenshot and spread to other department's own grou

Liam said, "She approached me before!""What do you mean?"Liam did not want to keep it from her, so he explained everything in detail.Blake said, "What did you say? Yvonne wanted you to look for Madelyn four years ago? But why?"Weren't you still in the hospital at that time? Why'd she come to you? Liam... Who are you exactly?"Liam appeared indifferent as he looked toward a nearby place, "I'm just an ordinary person. Blake, you have to keep this a secret for me."Blake responded, "Don't worry. I won't reveal a single word to anyone."Liam replied, "Let's go back. I still have work to do."Blake said, "Okay. How many chapters will you be updating today?"Liam responded, "How many chapters do you want to read?"Blake answered, "I want to read the final chapter. You've already written over three million words. Isn't the story going to finish soon?"Liam replied, "Many words don't necessarily mean it's ending soon. For me, it's just the beginning."Blake said, "I wonder if M

Madelyn did not like to eat spinach, garlic, vinegar, and spicy food. Zach remembered all of this.However, the maid accidentally put some spinach on the pastina, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Jardin. I was so absent-minded. I forgot you don't eat spinach. I'll serve you a new bowl."Madelyn looked at the green spinach on the pastina as she responded, "It's fine. I'll just pick them out."Zach said, "Be careful next time."The maid replied, "Yes, Mr. Jardin."The maid then left the living room to leave Zach and Madelyn alone. Zach picked out the spinach from Madelyn's bowl and put them into his bowl.Madelyn asked, "Did you make the pastina alone?"Zach responded, "Yes."Madelyn had an indescribable feeling. In her previous life, she had been married to Zach for nearly ten years. She learned to do laundry, cook, and take care of their house for him. She took care of him very well. Now, Zach actually learned to make pastina for her.Madelyn asked, "When did you learn how to make it?"

Zach said, "You haven't eaten much today. Eat more. If you don't like it, I'll have the maid make something else for you."Madelyn snorted lightly, "You can eat it yourself."She thought, 'Why'd the Young family still have dealings with Zach? Logically speaking, Frida should hate Zach very much. Why'd she still have any interactions with him?'After some thought, Madelyn was sure it must be about Frida introducing some high-ranking official's daughter to Zach.Not long ago, Zach attended a banquet. It was reported the next day that the Ventropolis's mayor introduced his daughter to Zach. Zach even had dinner with her.Madelyn would not believe that Zach would not be moved by such power.Since that banquet, Madelyn used various methods to not allow him to touch her. She found him repulsive.Madelyn looked at her mother's portrait hanging on the wall as all her emotions disappeared. She then sat on the couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the scenery outside.

The next morning, Madelyn felt uneasy as she covered her chest. She had been feeling this way for days, but it became increasingly apparent.Zach asked, "Are you not feeling well? Should I ask him to come and take a look at you?"Madelyn looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window as she shook her head absentmindedly, "I always feel like someone's watching me these days. Every time I ask Margaret to check, there's no one in that corner."Zach took her hand and put it in his palm before rubbing it, "Don't overthink it. We have bodyguards at home. It's very safe as long as you don't leave the villa. Even if there's any danger, I'll know immediately."Madelyn said, "The day before yesterday, I clearly saw a dark figure passing through that garden. But it disappeared very quickly. It's so strange."Zach responded, "Don't overthink it. Nothing will happen as long as you stay with me."Zach indeed had been protecting her very well. To ensure Madelyn's safety, the whole of Ventropolis was

Zach said, "There's no one. It was just your imagination."At that moment, a bodyguard in a black suit approached, "Mrs. Jardin, the person you just saw was me."Madelyn was confused, "It was you?"The bodyguard nodded, "Yes, I was patrolling over here. There was an unusual situation outside the door just now, so I went to check. I apologize for frightening you."Zach waved his hand, and the bodyguard left.Zach said, "Is it clear now? I've arranged for people to guard the villa these days. That was why you had such illusions."Now, let's go back to eat, okay?"Madelyn was not convinced. She turned her head to glance as she pondered, 'Was I really mistaken?"When she arrived at the entrance, Dalton suddenly ran over with a toy airplane. His running posture made Madelyn worried, "Mama..."When Madelyn was about to pick him up, Margaret took Dalton, "Ms. Jent, let me do it."Madelyn glanced at her hands before withdrawing them, "Okay."Zach held Madelyn's hand and went to the

Zach said, "Are you worried about me?"As he said that, he held Madelyn's hand. She withdrew it without responding. Zach knew the answer from her gaze. However, he did not mind. What he wanted was to have her by his side.He continued saying, "Those kinds of events aren't suitable for you. If you want to have fun, you can go to beauty salons with those wealthy ladies or play cards with them."Madelyn responded, "Since when did you know women like to do these things?"Indeed, Madelyn occasionally indulged in those activities with the wealthy ladies.The way Zach looked at her was as if he was worried that she would misunderstand something. He explained, "Whenever you go out, the bodyguards will report your schedule to me. That's why I know what you do every time you go out."He noticed she looked unhappy. He quickly changed the subject before she could get angry, "I've already taken care of Blake's matter for you. Madelyn..." With that, he seized the opportunity to pull Madelyn's

Enrick continued saying, "Are you interested in working with me?"Zach sat with his legs crossed and hands rested on his leg, "Tell me about it."Enrick waved his hand, and a few bodyguards walked over. They carried ten briefcases and placed them on the table before opening them to reveal stacks of Avalon Dollars.Enrick said, "Consider this my gift to you."If you sincerely want to work with me, you can earn even more money. We can discuss the profit-sharing percentages. As far as I know, you have the greatest influence both domestically and internationally. The whole of Ventropolis, and even all of Venturia is under your control."Zach responded, "You think too highly of me."Enrick replied, "You have the most extensive connections, and I have the best products. I've been working with Mr. Turner for many years, and he's my best partner."It's my honor to meet you today."Frida chimed in, "Zach, if you're hesitant to take this money, don't worry. Mr. Felipe has his own methods
