Seeing them studying so diligently, Rosario did not disturb them.At six-thirty in the evening, Jadie finally put her pen down and closed her book. She said, "Madelyn, Is... Mr. Jent pressuring you? Your family is well-off. You don't really need to work this hard."Madelyn's thoughts were interrupted. She stopped writing, "It's got nothing to do with my father. I set high standards for myself and try to work harder."She did not want to stop studying, wanting to avoid becoming ignorant and resorting to buying her qualifications with money like in her past life. She aimed to be independent like Cecilia so she would be able to support herself even after leaving the Jent family."I see! That's true. It's very stressful to be in Class One. Just remember not to push yourself too hard. I'll go and eat now. Don't stay here too long doing homework."Madelyn nodded.Not long after Jadie left the room, Madelyn finished the remaining half of the workbook and went out.Most of the dishes th

Zach, "I'm fine.""Don't drink so much next time. You know your stomach isn't in the best condition."Rosario finished cooking the hangover soup and quickly brought it over."Jadie, quickly feed it to Mr. Jardin."Madelyn just ignored what was happening outside of her room. She put on her headphones and listened to the Etlinish words while memorizing them.It was nine-thirty at night before Jadie finally returned to her room, exhausted. She then looked at Madelyn's phone that was charging on the bedside table. It had been ringing for a while.She said to Madelyn, "Madelyn, your phone's ringing."Madelyn did not react."Madelyn?"Jadie then walked over and looked at the incoming caller number on the screen. It consisted of repeated digits eight. Her eyes became gloomier. She then unplugged the phone from the charger and handed it to Madelyn.Madelyn took off her headphones. Jadie said, "Your phone.""Thank you." Madelyn stared at the incoming call. Shortly after, the call dis

Forrest ignored her and sat down near the door with his legs crossed. He was holding his phone and chatting with someone.Madelyn then remembered what Alex had told her that day. Until now, she still found it hard to believe that he was the person who had risked his own life to save her.At that time, it had been raining heavily, with turbulent waves. She had fallen unconscious after jumping into the sea, and all she remembered was seeing a blurry face. She had thought that person was Zach...She had assumed that it was Zach who had saved her. because she was more useful to Zach alive. She had not even considered anyone else.After all, who would risk their life for someone unimportant to them?If she ended up dead, Zach would not be able to face Hayson.There were only four stops before arriving at the school. Soon, the bus was full of people, most of whom were white-collar workers rushing to work.Madelyn saw an old lady get onto the bus. All the seats were already occupied. S

Madelyn asked, "Why? Did he offend you too?"Yvonne responded, "He offended my whole family. You don't need to know the reason. Just remember what I said."Madelyn mumbled, "We'll see."Yvonne then changed the topic, "By the way, I almost forgot. How'd you meet my brother? He usually never talks to me, but he went out of his way to do so...to talk about you."Madelyn remained quiet.Yvonne nudged Madelyn and asked, "He even asked me to bring you out to have a meal with him when we're free. Come on, tell me, is there something going on between you and him?"Madelyn was nervous, "You misunderstood. We're just friends. There's nothing going on between us, you're overthinking it! My family doesn't allow me to be in a relationship at this age. They want me to focus on my studies."Yvonne smiled as she put her hand on Madelyn's shoulder, "Oh, come on! Do you know how popular my brother is in Ventropolis? So many women want to sleep with him. Everyone close to me wants to get close to

The library closed at ten every night.Madelyn arrived at the library at seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still a few people inside.She sat in her usual spot near the window and opened her workbook.Eventually, the lights in the library went off one by one. The librarian approached her and said, "Hey, the library's closing now."Madelyn was not surprised that Forrest did not come.Only after leaving the school did she remember that her home was under renovation. Her maids and driver were all not at home and the last bus had already left.So, Madelyn could only take a taxi back to the apartment.She only arrived at the apartment close to eleven at night.When she raised her head to look, the lights on the twelfth floor were all switched off. She thought all of them were probably sleeping.Madelyn then took the elevator. When she entered the door lock code, it showed it was incorrect. She tried three times, and it was still wrong.She thought, 'Why is it incorrect?

Madelyn drank some iced water, "I'm not eating breakfast today. I'm in a hurry."Rosario said, "Why won't you listen? I woke up at four-thirty to make breakfast for you. Be a good girl... You're still growing. You can't skip breakfast."Madelyn replied, "Don't trouble yourself in the future. I can just eat anything."Rosario, "What are you saying?! I've watched you grow up. I know you very well."Madelyn walked to Rosario and hugged her from behind. She rested her chin on her shoulder, "I know. You treat me the best..."The door was opened. Madelyn thought it was probably Zach who came back from his morning jog.She quickly let go of Rosario.Rosario brought the pancakes to the dining table, "Sit down and eat.""Okay."Although Madelyn did not want to face Zach, she did not want to waste Rosario's efforts either.After Madelyn sat down at the dining table, Rosario brought over a few sets of cutlery and plates. She then took some pancakes from the main plate and put them onto

Suddenly, Madelyn's wrist was grabbed firmly. She lost her balance and almost fell.Zach violently dragged her into the study and closed the door, locking it from the outside.Rosario hurriedly rushed over and said, "Mr. Jardin, what are you doing?"Madelyn pounded on the door, "What are you doing?! Let me out. Zach, you jerk. Who do you think you are to lock me up?!"Zach removed the key after he locked the door. His face was stone-cold as he told Rosario, "Don't bring her any food without my permission."He turned back towards Madelyn and said, "You can come out once you've realized your mistake! Let's see if I have to power to control you or not, like you said!"Jadie was awakened by the noise outside. She leaned toward the door and listened. She thought, 'Is Zach arguing with Madelyn?'Jadie came out of her room at seven-thirty in the morning and sat down to have her breakfast. The atmosphere in the living room was tense. Jadie, who was eating the pancakes, lifted her head,

Madelyn sneered, "Why are you so angry? Isn't it the truth? You drugged me for so many years, and even had people rape me... And now you act like you care about me. What are you trying to do? Are you worried about me now? Or is it just pity?"I'll say it again, get lost!"Zach suddenly bent down. He kissed her soft lips.Madelyn bit his lips hard. Zach frowned in pain. Both of them tasted the taste of blood.After a brief pause, he became more aggressive. He endured the pain and bit her lips. Madelyn struggled in pain...Zach thought, 'Her scent is so addictive. If the first kiss was part of my plan, what about this time? Is it anger? Why am I angry? Was what Madelyn said wrong?'Every word that Madelyn said was true. She did not make any false accusations! He knew that Madelyn was intentionally distancing herself from him and trying to avoid meeting him.He was well aware of what he was doing too! It was unexpected and sudden, but he just could not control himself!He had cro
