Chapter 137
Madelyn used to be an arrogant and willful person, but not anymore. Time had softened her rough edges.What she was going through now was nothing compared to how she bullied and tormented Jadie in her past life. So, she had to bear it all, no matter what was happening to her.It was the law of karma, the cycle of consequences.Madelyn closed the window and decided that she would never look at the snow again, nor would she ever like it. She hugged herself and curled up on the small couch, staring blankly at the corner of the wardrobe.When it was midnight, she received a text message. It was from Ethan: [Happy birthday, little princess.]That was her first time receiving a text message. She was shocked and had no idea how Ethan knew it was her birthday today.Only a few people knew when her birthday was. She did not even tell Zach about it. The date of birth on her ID was incorrect; her true birthday was on December 26.A ray of light immediately brightened up Madelyn's gloomy mo

"Mr. Jardin, was it Madelyn who went outside?"Madelyn closed the door and heard Rosario's voice.Not many people were in the apartment building at this hour, so she quickly took the elevator down. She worried that Rosario would come after her and persuade her to return.Madelyn became a very soft-hearted person, and she could never bear to refuse Rosario if that happened. She knew very well that she would return to where Zach was once Rosario spoke to her again.Zach finally revealed his true colors to her that night. He sought revenge against the Jent family until they completely fell apart. That was when he finally felt satisfied...Taking everything away from the Jent family was never the only thing he wanted to do.Looking back, Madelyn realized that she had never truly understood Zach. He was like a black hole that would devour and destroy anything that went near him... And she was like a vine that depended only on him to live.The cold wind blew as Madelyn stood outside t
Chapter 139
Then, they left the apartment compound together.Madelyn stared out of the car window without speaking to him. She did not know if Zach kept the window half-open on purpose, but the weather made her feel like she was in an ice cellar. However, she refused to say a word and insisted on not speaking to Zach.She was just stubborn like that. She knew very well that Zach married her because he had other intentions, but she said yes anyway. It was just like the way back home. Although she knew she was walking in the opposite direction, she just would not turn back.Zach was not very comfortable in the car either, as half of his coat got wet too. They did not speak a word throughout the twenty-minute journey. Madelyn was freezing.When they arrived at the main entrance of the Southern Haven Villas, Madelyn got out of the car. She noticed a light coming from the gap in the partially drawn curtains in the living room.She could faintly see a fair hand pressing against the curtain, reveali

"Look, I'm wide awake now that you're here. Let's chew the fat, shall we?"Madelyn was confused. "Chew the fat? What do you mean?"Margaret patted her thigh. "What? You don't know what that means? Chew the fat means have a chat."Madelyn nodded thoughtfully. "What would you like to chat about?"Then, Margaret said quietly, "I overheard a few things when I went out earlier. I can guarantee that your father is going to have two more children in three years. You're going to have a little brother very soon."Madelyn listened to what Margaret said and was intrigued by her accent. She realized that the way Margaret spoke was open and direct. However, she did not pay much attention to what Margaret was telling her about...Hayson had several affairs with different women, but he would never want any of them to have his child. Even if something went wrong, he would take care of it discreetly.A woman in her late twenties once came to their home and caused a scene with a baby in her arms.
Chapter 141
Not only did Madelyn want to go to university, but she also wanted to get into Ventropolis University with her own capabilities.Even if she could not go to Lorville...Even if she could not change the outcome.Madelyn did not want to make the same mistake as she did in her past life, where she gave up everything for a man.She told Jordan that she wanted to go to a hospital, but she was not expecting that he would drive her to SereneCare."Ms. Jent, we're here.""Okay." Madelyn got out of the car and went to the emergency department.The nurse unwrapped the bandage on Madelyn's arm and asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort? I'm afraid that the wound would be infected if we remove the stitches now.""It feels a little itchy, so I wanted to check if it's infected," Madelyn said."That's possible. Your wound is sticking to the gauze. It might hurt a little."Then, Madelyn heard a voice coming from behind, "Madelyn? What happened? Are you injured?"The nurse and Madelyn glance
Chapter 142
Madelyn was the first one to arrive in the classroom. However, she could not figure out where her seat was after she went inside.All the desks were arranged separately back then, but now it was arranged with every two desks joined together, so there would be two students sitting side by side. Madelyn had no choice but to search for her seat one by one, trying to find out who was unlucky enough to sit next to her.Madelyn would always sit in the last row, and she only realized that her desk was still in its original place after searching for a while. All her belongings were still there, but there was something she had not seen before – a pink envelope with a heart shape and her name written in the middle of it.Madelyn put her school bag down and could not help but feel a little curious. Indeed, she was good-looking, and several boys had confessed their love to her before. However, anyone who had confessed to her before would always end up being bullied by others for no apparent rea
Chapter 143
Jadie hesitated, and the answer became apparent.Rosario could do a lot of things for her back home. Not only could Rosario keep the house clean, but she would also cook for Jadie every day she came back home from school. There was just no way that she would let Rosario go.Madelyn coughed and her voice sounded a little hoarse. So, Jadie cleverly changed the topic, "Madelyn, you should stop talking. Your voice sounds very hoarse. I'll go and buy some medicine for you. Hold on, let me get you some water first."Jadie placed her bag down and quickly went out to get a cup of water from the dispenser that was available outside every classroom with disposable cups stored under it. "Madelyn, have some water.""Leave it on the table. I don't feel like drinking it now." Madelyn slumped on the desk."Wait here. I'll go get you some medicine then.""It's okay. I'll feel better after resting for a while. I guess I just didn't get enough sleep last night. Don't worry about me."Jadie crouch
Chapter 144
The mathematics class lasted for about 2 hours in the morning.Madelyn felt like she was going to have a cold or fever.Jadie wanted to get her quiz paper from her, but Madelyn had already left her seat and gone to the medical room. The cup of water that Jadie took for her remained untouched on the desk.Jadie saw that and replaced it with another fresh one. She picked up Madelyn's paper and glanced at it. Out of the five MCQs, two of Madelyn's answers were different from hers. Jadie chose B and C while Madelyn selected A for both questions.'Did I make a mistake?'Jadie doubted herself.Then, Jadie went to the second-ranked student in the class, Cecilia Wayne, who was also the class monitor. She had always been the top student in class before Madelyn took the spot away from her.However, there was a huge score difference between them. Cecilia had always wanted to be in Class One, but it was not possible with her current grades.The only way that she could make it happen was to
