'Is Zach taking me to the party as his date?' Jadie wondered, her hands clenched nervously but full of anticipation.Meanwhile, Madelyn went to the mall to pick a gift for Yvonne. Since she was going to the party, she couldn't go empty-handed. They were just casual friends, so Madelyn simply chose a silk scarf. To her surprise, it cost over four hundred dollars. She thought about returning it, but the salesperson had already taken off the tag, so she couldn't do that.Luckily, Hayson had given her a shopping card that entitled her to a fifty-percent discount. Even with the discount, the scarf was still expensive – it cost two hundred dollars.Madelyn could not help but wince at the price.When Madelyn got back home, she thought about which nightgown to wear for the birthday party. She searched through her closet and found a white box in the bottom drawer. Inside, she found a black backless dress.'This should be good,' she thought. Since it was her first party, she didn't have man

After finishing dancing, Yvonne took the coat that a servant brought over and walked to Frida Young, saying, "Mom."Frida looked at her daughter, noticing a hint of unhappiness on her face. She patted Yvonne's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy on your birthday? The singers you like are all here for you. My little darling, don't cry. I'll introduce you to a few business partners."Yvonne furrowed her brows again and said, "Can I not go? I want to play with my classmates. It's always the same old faces anyway, and they keep asking this and that as soon as they see me. It's getting really annoying."The music played softly in the hall, and Yvonne's words were only heard by Frida."Alright, this is something you'll have to get used to in the future as the heir of our company."As the hosts of the event, the mother and daughter couldn't avoid mingling with the Young family's business partners, except the ones from the Arnold Corporation, even though Yvonne di

Around nine in the evening, Madelyn finally reached the party venue. She was late, so she wasn't sure if the party was still going on.This party was being held at the Young family's mansion.Someone at the door checked Madelyn's invitation. Then, they showed her inside and said, "If you're a friend of Miss Young, just follow this path. Keep going straight until you see it."Madelyn nodded gently and replied, "Okay, thank you."The person guiding Madelyn kept looking at her. She had never seen such a pretty girl before. She thought, 'I wonder which family's daughter she is, and why haven't I seen her before?'Madelyn felt a bit cold, so she put on a jacket. She held her dress and walked in the direction the person had pointed.After greeting the guests in the front hall, Yvonne quickly dashed to the pool area. She thought to herself, 'This is where I belong!' All her classmates and close friends were at there.She plopped onto a chair and lay down, not wanting to move. "I'm so t

Madelyn glared at Forrest, who was standing there gloating over her. "Is this some kind of sick joke to you?!" Her ankle hurt a lot, and tears started forming in her eyes.Forrest leaned closer to meet her gaze. "Don't you think that it's fun? Serve you right!"In her mind, Madelyn thought, 'Every time I see him, something goes wrong.'Seeing Forrest here was a surprise. His mother was the reason Ethan's parents got divorced. Madelyn didn't think he would be invited.Madelyn felt uncomfortable and painful. She got up slowly, brushing dirt off her black dress. Thankfully, the dirt wasn't easy to see on it."This is just my luck!" Madelyn grumbled. She didn't want to argue anymore and was about to leave.But then Forrest called out impatiently from behind her. "Hey!"Ignoring him, Madelyn limped away. Forrest noticed her hurt ankle and asked, "Where do you think you're going? There's nothing ahead."Madelyn finally stopped in her tracks, realizing she had taken the wrong path. 'N

At the entrance, Ethan suddenly thought of something, and told Leyton, "Ask someone from the Young family to get the medicinal cream for sprains and take it to the backyard.""Okay." Leyton replied. He had no idea what had happened, but he asked a maid to bring the cream to the backyard before he left.The music by the pool was loud.Timothy suddenly saw a familiar figure nearby walking toward him. He looked carefully and thought, 'Isn't that Forrest? Who's that woman he's carrying on his shoulder? Damn, he just hit legal age and he's already so wild. Don’t tell me he’s already lost his virginity?!'Upon hearing the woman's voice, Timothy was shocked, "Damn!"It was Madelyn's voice.'I'd recognize that voice anywhere,' he thought.Forrest put Madelyn down on the chair, "You're as heavy as a damn pig. Can you eat less?""It's not like I ate your food!" Madelyn responded.Her stomach began to churn right after she said that, and suddenly, she turned around and puked out everythi

Forrest grabbed Madelyn's ankle before she could pull her leg away.He lifted his head, "Are you blind? I'm trying to apply the cream on you." His tone was so rude that she wondered if she had misheard him.She pondered, 'He wants to help apply the medical cream on me? I don't believe it. There's no way that a person who nearly choked me to death at school would be kind enough to apply medicine to me. Who knows if the medicine is safe or not?'I've already learned my lesson the hard way once, and that's enough. Back then, whenever someone showed me a little kindness, I'd just naively accept it.'Forrest had already squeezed out the cream onto his palm. He was about to rub it on Madelyn's swollen ankle, but Madelyn immediately pulled her foot back.She mumbled, "I-I'm fine. I don’t need the cream."She was afraid that he was planning to do something bad to her. She held onto the armrests of the chair, wanting to get up and leave.Forrest slightly raised an eyebrow as he stood up.

Everyone held their breath as a few seconds passed.Only Yvonne could have dared to talk to Forrest like that.Everyone thought Forrest would angrily beat Yvonne up, but he did not. Instead, he just chuckled, eyes bloodshot with anger. Yvonne felt creeped out when she saw him behaving that way.Forrest calmly smiled as he said, "Your mother is even worse. Do you really think she's a good person?"Yvonne, "What the hell are you talking about?!"With those thought-provoking words, he turned around and walked away, not looking back.Madelyn ignored their conversation and kept her head low, lost in thought."Stop! Stop right there, you bastard!" Yvonne yelled at Forrest.Adrian glanced worriedly at Forrest.Frida stood nearby for quite a while. With the wind blowing at her, the intoxication from alcohol had gradually worn off, and she soon sobered up. She had heard the entire conversation earlier.'Could it be? Does he know something?'Frida frowned and walked down the steps in
Chapter 174
In the past, Madelyn had been cruel and willful, often taking the lead in bullying others. However, ever since Forrest had appeared, she had gradually become isolated and had finally ended up being bullied instead.Madelyn was aware of her past sins, and could not justify what she had done…She thought, 'Seems like this party didn't go well. My relationship with Yvonne is just superficial. She's probably using me to get closer to Zach, and I want to set her up with Zach so that I can leave him and the Jent family. Either way, I have to maintain this relationship.'It was getting late, and colder as well. Her scarf could no longer keep her from shivering. She asked the Young family's maid to get her the medical cream for sprains and rubbed it on her ankle. Half an hour later, the swelling reduced.At that moment, someone approached her, "Miss, is this your phone?"Madelyn, "Yes, please help me put it on the table. I can't do that now. Thank you."The maid said, "Your phone was rin
