Chapter 366
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
Chapter 368
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

'If my existence is Ethan's salvation, then Mya's smile is my cure,' thought Madelyn.Madelyn had seen Mya's results before. She was the last in Class Two and would possibly even be the last in Class Six with those grades of hers.Initially, Madelyn thought Forrest was the worst-performing student, but Mya had been sick and had not been able to sit for the final exam last semester. As a result, her grades had not been posted on the notice board.Given her grades, Mya should have been in Class Six, but she was in Class Two. Madelyn did not question the reason behind this.After they had lunch, Madelyn took Mya to the library.In the past, Madelyn had tutored Forrest every day. Now, she tutored him on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Forrest's current grades were enough to get him into Ventropolis University. He had made a drastic improvement and ranked in the top ten of his class for the last test.In the following days, Forrest still brought his girlfriend to the library, making

After an hour passed, Forrest still did not show up. With his current results, there was really no need for any extra tutoring, anyway. Coincidentally, a few girls walked by holding books, whispering in admiration, "Did you see it? That three-pointer by Forrest was really cool!""I saw it. That was so impressive!""His girlfriend is Kayla from Class Two, right? They look so good together.""Exactly, I feel the same way. She's been with Forrest the longest. Previously, all those prom queens who dated Forrest didn't last more than a week."One of them noticed the presence of Madelyn and nudged the person next to her. The person who had just spoken fell silent, looking somewhat embarrassed.Madelyn set aside her studies and focused on teaching Mya. If Mya did not get it after the first explanation, she would repeat it a second or even a third time until Mya finally grasped the concept.Madelyn was generally a patient person. Even when she felt frustrated or irritated, her anger quic

"Hey, Madelyn, why are you meddling in Class Two's business?" Ailsa Zink slammed her hand on the desk and stood up, joined by her close friends. Madelyn recognized them as friends of Kayla."That's right! We asked Mya to help, not you. Go back to your class."Mya was scared of them but still quickly stood ahead of Madelyn. "Don't bully her. I'll buy lunch for you guys."Then, she timidly tugged at Madelyn's sleeve from behind and said, "Madelyn, I'm fine. Just go back to your class. You've helped me a lot, and I don't want to trouble you."A group of people approached. Then, one of them picked up Madelyn's notebook and said mockingly, "Can that idiot even understand this?""Don't touch it. It belongs to Madelyn." Mya reached out to grab it but was teased and played with by them like a puppet."Are you telling me not to touch it? Well, guess what? Not only am I going to touch it, but I'm even going to tear it apart!"Mya said anxiously, "Don't!"The others were all enjoying the

Madelyn was dragged to the doorway by Forrest just as the teacher for the upcoming class arrived. "Forrest, it's Etlinish class now. Why aren't you going into the classroom?""Mind your own business! Get lost!" Forrest's temper flared from somewhere unknown.The Etlinish language teacher wanted to get angry but did not dare to show it. Clutching the books, she walked directly into the classroom. Forrest's explosive temper was well-known, but it had improved compared to before.Madelyn did not say anything about his actions either. "If there's something, let's talk after class. I need to go to class now."Forrest held onto Madelyn. She could not leave even if she wanted to. He pushed Madelyn against the wall with one hand while supporting himself with the other. He lowered his gaze to meet hers. "What did you mean by what you said to that idiot?"Madelyn's attractive eyebrows furrowed. "She has a name, Forrest. Please respect her."Forrest nodded with a smirk, and impatience was e
