Chapter 379
Madelyn knew not to inquire about these matters. From her experience, once a man acquired money and status, they would naturally search for other women. It seemed like an ordinary matter to her because both Hayson and Zach did it. Perhaps that was why Madelyn was willing to give her heart out to someone again. It was because Ethan gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.Although Madelyn did not question him, that did not mean she did not care. She merely hoped that Ethan would not betray her emotionally, mentally, or physically. If Ethan did betray Madelyn one day, she would not know who to trust anymore.After placing their things in the car, Ethan brought her to the beach, where they held hands while walking by the seaside. Ethan would occasionally smoothen Madelyn's hair. With their fingers intertwined, Madelyn looked at the people walking before them. She felt a sense of peace and tranquility that she had never felt before."Are you cold?" Ethan asked."I'm

Madelyn kept sleeping until night came. Then, she woke up to the sound of pages being flipped. She squinted her eyes and saw a person standing by her bedside. Ethan was wearing an off-white sweater, which showed the tattoo on his neck. The soft lighting of the room shined on his side profile. When he turned around, it was Zach's face.Madelyn was so frightened she woke up completely and jolted backward. When she saw Ethan's face clearly, she sighed in relief.Ethan shut his book and apologized, "Sorry for scaring you."Madelyn's heart was still beating wildly, needing some time to calm down. She replied, "It's fine. I just had a nightmare." She brushed her hair and hugged her blanket while sitting on the bed.She then asked, "How'd you come over?""I called you, but it wouldn't go through. I assumed something had happened to you, so I came in to check. I saw that you were still asleep, so I thought I'd wait for you for a while," Ethan answered.Madelyn could see that he also had

"N-No...," Jadie struggled hard."Babe, stop acting like a crude. I promise you won't forget it once you've gotten a taste," Randall said."Help me. Zach! Zach...," Jadie twisted and turned as she watched Zach chatting away not far from her. However, just when it looked like someone heard her, another person came to block Zach's view. Yvonne looked over but retracted her gaze indifferently.Jadie felt hopeless as she was dragged into the pool with her mouth covered. She felt something touch her private areas. Just as Randall was excited about succeeding, he suddenly felt something was wrong with Jadie.Jadie's face was pale, and she was breathing with much difficulty. Randall immediately let go, and Jadie's body went limp. She sunk to the pool floor without any struggle.'What the hell, is she having some kind of illness?!' Randall thought. He was panicking and was worried he had murdered someone. He quickly exited the pool, but Jadie did not follow him. You can barely see her sil

Zach stared at the shivering and pale Jadie. He embraced her and caressed her hair, "Alright, you're fine now.""I feel terrible, Zach..." Jadie croaked."Where's the medication?" Zach asked.Jadie felt like she was suffocating, and it was getting harder to breathe, "I-In the b-bag."Zach quickly brought Jadie to a couch while a servant swiftly brought her bag over. Zach opened the bag and found the medication inside. He then fed Jadie two pills.Jadie was lucky that she survived. After she ate her medication, her breathing gradually returned to normal. At the same time, the ambulance arrived. As Zach carried Jadie, Yvonne stood up and said, "I'm coming with you to the hospital.""No need for that," Zach remarked, his look at her sending shivers down her back with its frostiness.In the ambulance, Jadie kept holding onto Zach's hand. "I'm scared, Zach," she whimpered."It's okay. Nothing's going to happen anymore. We'll talk about this once you get better," Zach comforted her w

Madelyn arrived at school on Monday on time, and it was just about time for morning self-study sessions. When she got to class, she did not see Yvonne and Jadie. Not only did they miss the morning self-study sessions, but Madelyn also did not see Jadie for the whole morning.'Did something happen to Jadie?' Madelyn wondered.It had been so long since Jadie met with an incident, so Madelyn could not remember it. At noon, Mya came over to invite her to lunch. Madelyn asked Mya about Jadie when they were at the cafeteria.Mya told her, "I also heard from your class that Jadie was admitted to the hospital. She had accidentally fallen into the swimming pool when she was at the Young residence.""Oh yeah, I also didn't see Forrest today. He hasn't been coming to classes since last Friday," Mya added.Madelyn ate her food calmly and replied, "My mission is complete. I already helped him acquire sufficient results to get into Ventropolis University. Even if he doesn't study, it is not my

Mya looked at Madelyn, a bit puzzled. 'I thought I was the one who told her about it.' But she didn't say anything more.Rosario took the stuff they were holding and placed them on a table.While Ethan was in a meeting at the Arnold Corporation's office building, he suddenly let out a sneeze.Leyton quietly adjusted the air conditioning, thinking to himself, 'I hope he didn't catch a cold from the sea breeze.'In the hospital room, Jadie lowered her head and asked, "Did the school find out what happened to me?""I'm not sure," Madelyn replied in a gentle voice. "I just got back from Marisburg. I'm glad that you're okay.""Did you have lunch? I can get you something," Rosario kindly offered.Madelyn quickly responded, "Thank you, but we ate before we came."Zach stood up and offered Mya a chair. "Please, take a seat. Standing for too long can be tiring.""It's okay, I'm fine standing," Mya replied, feeling a bit shy.Madelyn mentioned, "Jadie, now that I see you're okay, I'll
Chapter 385
Madelyn found herself taken to a remote, deserted place surrounded by towering mountains. It was the highest point in Ventropolis, but it was also the most desolate, with hardly anyone around. There were no road surveillance cameras along the way, and not a single car passed by.The car came to a stop, and Madelyn, feeling fearful, gripped her seatbelt tightly, hunching her body. "What do you want?"Zach's fingers lightly rested on the steering wheel.Madelyn, with a mix of anxiety and fear in her eyes, stared at him. She thought that the most important person to him was Jadie, so she hurriedly said, "I have nothing to do with what happened to Jadie!"As soon as she finished speaking, he unexpectedly leaned down, his fingertips weaving into her hair, and he kissed her."Mhmm," Madelyn moaned as she kept struggling desperately. Her school uniform disarranged as his hands roaming over her body.Feeling her buttons being unfastened, she became instantly alert and pushed Zach away wi

Madelyn thought that except for Jadie, Zach didn't seem to have many vulnerabilities. Yet, it was precisely this that made Jadie his biggest weakness.Madelyn had expected Zach to be with Jadie. She believed that if it weren't for Jadie, Zach would be dating Yvonne, using her to achieve his goals. Madelyn had, after all, seen his tactics, which were truly impressive."Why didn't I realize you understand me so perfectly?" Zach smiled, gently tucking Madelyn's long hair behind her ears.Madelyn's bright eyes now glistened with tears. The more vulnerable she looked, the more Zach wanted to assert his power over her in the crudest, foulest manner he sometimes imagined. He wanted to pin her down on a bed, making her cry in pleasure and pain. These filthy thoughts of his haunted him, replaying in his dreams night after night. But he couldn't make them real now, as he had yet to finish what he had to do.At this moment, Zach's desires for Madelyn were like maggots creeping through the sha
