This incident caused a big sensation in the news. Now, he was able to stand up. It seemed like his legs had been treated successfully.No one dared to force him if he did not want to drink.This banquet would end at nine o'clock at night.At eight o'clock, all the lights at the venue suddenly went out. It was extremely dark.Several blue beams of light shone on the stage in the next second. A woman in a limited blue gown sat in front of the piano. The music she played silenced the clamor.Everyone quietly looked at her. Her hair was long and beautiful. With the ethereal music, she looked like a mermaid.Someone
Chapter 363
It was eight thirty at night. Madelyn was sitting in the back passenger seat, looking out the window frustratedly. She thought, 'I shouldn't have left so early. Or else, I wouldn't have met them.'Madelyn left early today because she wanted to go back early and rest.Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zach and Jadie as soon as she left the school. They were going for a late-night snack.Zach did not allow her a chance to reject them. He just brought her into his car.Zach and Jadie happily discussed what to eat and their plans for the weekend. Now that they were together, Madelyn felt like a third wheel. She felt very uncomfortable. She thought, 'I'm like an outsider being forced to be in their lives.'Jadie turned her head and asked Madelyn, "What'd you like to eat? Grilled food, or do you want to eat fish?"Madelyn, who was lost in her thoughts, quickly snapped back. She gently said, "Ah," before saying with a faint smile, "I'm fine with anything. Actually, I'm not that hungry."Ja

As soon as Zach loosened his grip slightly, Madelyn pushed him away and wanted to escape. Zach watched her desperately try to run away before grabbing her.Madelyn felt she was choking on her own collar; she was pulled back to him. He held her body firmly, saying, "It's been a while since I saw you. You've gotten fatter."Madelyn could not see his face clearly in this dark alley. But she could imagine his teasing expression.She said, "It's none of your business. You weren't the person who paid for my food."Zach pinched the flesh at her waist before kissing her neck. Madelyn was overwhelmed.Zach thought, 'Actually, Madelyn isn't fat. She merely gained some weight. In the past, Madelyn was so thin that she gave the impression that her waist could easily snap on the bed. Her techniques improve quite a bit too.'He said, "You're a smart mouth as always. Did you think I wouldn't touch you anymore just because you went to the Arnold residence? Huh?"Madelyn could feel Zach's hand o

Zach looked deeply into her eyes. His thoughts were difficult to discern. Even after spending so much time with him, Jadie still felt insecure about him.Although they were in a relationship now, Jadie felt she never truly understood him. Other than holding hands, they had never even kissed before.Jadie always wondered if she was too desperate. She thought, 'Zach always treats me as his sister. Seems like he still hasn't moved beyond our previous relationship.'Zach went to settle the bill at the front desk before they left the restaurant.They went to the Jent residence instead of going back to the Grand Court. Jadie sat in the car as she looked at the huge villa. She asked, "Zach, are we not going home?"Ever since Jadie returned from overseas, she had never liked the Jent residence in the Southern Haven Villas. She particularly disliked the way Hayson looked at her.Zach asked, "You don't like it here?""It's not that." Jadie shook her head.But Zach could tell from her exp

Jasmine tried to figure out what Zach was thinking from his expression, but his expression was unreadable. Jasmine could not discern anything, but her heart was filled with sorrow."Jealous?" Zach reached past her and set down the glass of water on the table before taking out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiping his hands as if he had touched something dirty. After he was done, he threw it onto the table.Jasmine smiled, "Of course! You're the man I've set my sights on, after all. I can't have you, so it's only natural for me to get jealous when you don't end up with me."Zach threw her a sideway glance icily, "Is this what you figured out after being by my side all these years?"He continued, "But it's a shame. I prefer my women pure."Jasmine felt heartbroken upon hearing Zach's words. It was as if her wound that had already scabbed over, was ripped open.'That's right. I'm no longer pure. I'm... unworthy of him,' she thought again."Don't look at me like that.
Chapter 367
Zach and Jadie only returned to Grand Court after having dinner in the evening.Today was the most fun Jadie had ever had, so she had some red wine.By the time they got home, Zach had to help a drunk Jadie inside as he closed the door with his foot.Jadie turned around and wrapped her arms around Zach's neck, her voice slurred from intoxication. "Zach...promise me that we'll be together forever and ever!"CRASH!A sound came from inside the house, which was then accompanied by a shriek. The sound was faint, but Zach still heard it. He noticed the light shining from under the door.'There's someone in the house!' he thought.Someone was in the house, but it was not just anyone, it was Madelyn.Madelyn walked out of Jadie's room, clutching her forehead and dragging a suitcase. When she walked out and saw the brightly lit living room, she was startled.She inhaled sharply as she saw the two's intimate posture, which seemed like they were about to make love. She apologized profus

Jadie felt confused, scared, and anxious about losing the things she held dear. However, out of all these emotions, she felt jealousy most of all.Jadie was jealous that some people were born privileged; they did not need to do anything to get the things they wanted.She, on the other hand, could not get the things she wanted no matter how hard she tried and despite even having to endure the disgusting gazes of others.Madelyn did not dare to look back when she left, terrified that if she did, she would not be able to escape that hell hole.She quickly got in the car while the driver placed her things into the trunk."Have you gotten all of your things, Ms. Jent?""Yep! Let's go."'This Etlinish cassette is the most important thing. No wonder I couldn't find it for the past few days,' she thought.When Madelyn returned to the Arnold residence, she saw the old woman again.The old woman looked over when she heard the commotion. She wore bronze-colored eyeglasses with chains dan

Madelyn answered the phone, and they talked about trivial matters like what she ate and what she did. It was like he would set a time to call her every day. Most of the time, Ethan was the one who called since Madelyn rarely used her phone and would only send him a text when she remembered.About seven or eight minutes later, the pasta was cooked, and Madelyn strained it."Sorry the banquet ended this late, Mr. Arnold. Would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?" Suddenly, a gentle and soothing voice of a woman came from the other end.Madelyn got distracted and scalded her hand while straining the pasta.Megan had just left the banquet venue and approached Ethan when she saw him on the balcony. She immediately fell silent when she saw him turn around with a phone in hand.Ethan looked icily at Megan, and she was startled by his gaze.Just as he was about to explain himself, he heard the person on the phone say, "I'll be hanging up if you're busy. Get back to the hotel a
