Chapter 326
Suddenly, a metal lighter extended from her side, causing Madelyn to jump and accidentally drop the sky lantern she was holding. She looked at Zach, who had appeared out of nowhere. Instinctively, she took a step back to create some space between them."Don't you make any noise when you move? What are you doing here?" she asked cautiously."Use this," Zach said, offering the lighter in one hand, while his other hand remained in his pocket.Madelyn hesitantly reached out to accept the lighter from his hand.But then, he suddenly caught her hand in a firm grip. With a swift motion, he pulled her back against him, her back against his warm chest.She struggled, "What are you doing? Someone might see us!"Zach's tall figure almost entirely shielded Madelyn, making it seem like he was protecting her. As he leaned in, his warm breath tickled her neck, sending a shiver down her spine as if an electric current had passed through that sensitive area."Let them see," Zach spoke from behin

Jasmine was on the verge of breaking down, seeing Zach's silence."Don't you know how many lives he's taken? Don't you also want him dead?"She continued, "Why are you hesitating? Is it because of Madelyn?"Jasmine laughed sadly."Hah. I should've guessed! Zach, you've fallen for Madelyn!" she said.Zach's eyes turned cold."I won't let your matters disrupt my plans. It isn't just about the Jent family now. If you really want Hayson Jent dead, let your wounds heal first, then come and talk to me!"Zach walked out and slammed the door shut.He returned to his room next door. Standing at his door, he immediately noticed a slight noise coming from his room.He opened the door and walked in. The noise was coming from his bathroom.Zach narrowed his eyes.A few minutes later, the shower sounds stopped, and someone opened the bathroom door. Jadie walked out in a white towel, with her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was flushed, and her eyes glistened, making her look

Madelyn had her hair casually pinned up with a few strands loosely falling by her ears. She wore a white cashmere nightgown and a hoodie with two long rabbit ears on the hood.Zach looked at her with a dark and unreadable gaze.Madelyn had drunk a lot of water. She set the cup down and prepared to go back to her room. As she turned around, she saw him looking at her. She was worried that he would lose his temper and do horrible things to her again.Zach stared at Madelyn.A voice in his head reminded him, "That's what Hayson did to Noelle back then! He's a piece of scum!"The voices rang in his mind."How many lives has he taken? He's a monster!""Is it because of Madelyn Jent?""Hah! I should've guessed!""Zach, you've fallen for Madelyn!"'Fallen for her? Never. She's just a disposable pawn to me,' he thought.Madelyn swallowed hard. Just as she tried to quickly walk past him, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.His gaze on Madelyn was totally different from the usual.Before

Zach drove Madelyn to the hospital. Then, he registered for her and escorted her to the emergency room.By the time Madelyn was done, it was nearly three o'clock in the morning.After Zach escorted Madelyn inside, he went outside to answer a call and still had not returned. The nurse removed the IV from Madelyn's arm and said, "Watch what you eat in the future. Your stomach can't handle overly stimulating food, especially spicy ones.""Alright. Thanks."Madelyn did not see Zach in the ward.'It seems like he isn't back yet. He left after picking up the call just now,' she thought.Madelyn left the ward and saw a woman walk out of the washroom. The woman stopped at the ward opposite Madelyn's. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly fainted.Madelyn quickly caught the woman before she hit the ground, "Ma'am?! What's wrong?"The woman was beautiful and had soft facial features. She also smelled faintly of jasmine flowers. However, she seemed weak and frail.The woma

'Liar!' Zach said to himself. After the discharge procedures were complete, Madelyn got into the car. On the way back, neither of them said a word. It was a time when one would usually feel tired, yet Madelyn's mind was awake. 'Zach seemed angry just now. 'Cause he thought I went missing? But why?'Lost in thought, Madelyn leaned back in the car seat and drifted off without realizing it.She didn't know how much time had passed while she was sleeping, but then she felt a tickle on her neck. Moving around a bit, she had a hard time breathing. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zach's hair. A strange sensation went through her like electricity. 'Zach, stop...' She said, sounding kind of alluring even though she was still groggy.Her seat had been reclined, and she couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried. "For heaven's sake, I've just come out of the hospital!"Madelyn gazed out the car window and noticed they were in the garage at Jent residence. Her shirt had been pulled up,

Zach finally got off Madelyn and yelled, "Get lost!"Madelyn put on her shirt and immediately got out of his car, leaving behind the medication she had gotten from the hospital.Rosario was tidying up the living room. When she saw Madelyn rushing inside, looking as if she had cried, she asked, "What's wrong, Madelyn?"Madelyn did not answer and ran upstairs.That night, Madelyn did not see Zach.On the day that Zach and Jadie left, Madelyn was chatting with some of the relatives who had come to visit. She was worried her father would ask her to send them off, so she pretended she did not see them and went to the kitchen.Madelyn spent the day in peace.Madelyn's father personally hosted the Azure Corporation's annual company gala this year. She showed up at the gala with her father as the company's heiress. Madelyn looked stunning and impressed everyone, including the directors who partnered with Azure Corporation.Rather than calling the event an annual company gala, it was mo

"Is there anything else? I'm having dinner right now, so I'll be hanging up if there isn't.""Dinner? Are you with Mr. Arnold?"Madelyn looked in Ethan's direction and was coincidentally met with his gaze."Mhm," she replied."Madelyn, Zach and I are together now!""That's great, congratulations." Madelyn said indifferently. Her tone was devoid of emotion."We'll get your blessings, right?""Mhm.""Thank you, Madelyn!"'So he's finally gotten what he wanted and got together with Jadie?' thought Madelyn.She thought bitterly, 'It turns out Zach really can give up everything for a person. And the only one who could make him do that is Jadie. Initially, Zach could've gotten together with Yvonne and used the Young family to take over the Jent family. He could've easily done all of this with his capabilities. In fact, he could've built his own business empire that rivaled the Jent family's. There was no need for him to use such lowly tactics and stain his own reputation... Now tha

As the new semester began, the pressure to study grew. There was a test on the very first day of class. By the time they finished their test, classes were over.It was around three in the afternoon when they finished their test, so everyone went home. Most students from Ventrocloud High School were locals, and students rarely lived on school grounds. Even the students from out of town would instead choose to rent a room outside the school grounds.As Madelyn was packing her bags and getting ready to leave, Albert came over to call her to the office. When she arrived at the office, she asked, "You called for me, Mr. Newton?""Wait a minute, "Albert said as he rummaged through the drawers, searching for god knows what. After a while, he took out a set of assessment papers, "Madelyn, are you interested in joining the Math Olympiad team? There'll be a competition next month. If you are interested, I can make an exception and have you enter the examination hall as a reserve contestant."
