"Isn't this perfect! Let's clean her up. She can just serve customers naked. That will save us some trouble," the man said.Donna asked, "Are you guys maybe overdoing it a bit with the acting?" Before she could finish her words, someone slapped her right across the face."Acting? Who the hell told you we're acting? You borrowed money and can't pay it back, so it's only right we take you as collateral!"Donna looked terrified. She thought, 'It can't be... this is different from what that man said!'They taped her mouth shut. She didn't even have a chance to struggle as they dragged her onto the staff elevator, heading for a hotel room at Supreme World.Meanwhile, in a luxurious suite at Supreme World, Randall was drunk. He hooked his arm around Zach's shoulders. "Mr. Jardin... I feel so sorry for winning so much from you last time. Let's toast."Kevin interjected, "Mr. Jardin is dealing with a stomach issue. I'll take this drink in his place.""Stay out of this. I'm raising a toa

The night breeze rustled the heavy curtains as Madelyn emerged from the bathroom, towel-drying her hair. She walked to the bedside table, wanting to charge her phone. Its screen was marred by a crack. It had been working perfectly fine during the day, but now it was constantly disconnecting while she tried to charge it.Suddenly, the phone vibrated, and Zach's number appeared on the screen, causing Madelyn's heart to skip a beat. She didn't answer but watched as the call ended automatically.She thought he might give up, but he immediately sent several messages.[I know you're not asleep this early.][You're being naughty again.][Answer the phone, or I'll come to the Arnold residence myself.]Madelyn held her breath, and her heart raced. Soon, she received a video clip. It was a steamy, intimate video of them in his car.He messaged again, [You wouldn't want this to be seen by others, would you?]Madelyn felt a shiver run down her spine. She had no idea when he had taken that

"Miss Jent, didn't Mr. Arnold come downstairs with you?" asked the servant.Madelyn replied, "He's probably still asleep.""When I went to wake him up earlier, his room was empty."When Madelyn thought about how Ethan had gone out last night and hadn't returned all night, a hint of unease flashed across Madelyn's face. She said, "Maybe he had some work stuff to attend to, so he went out early.""I see."As Madelyn left, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease. 'I wonder if it's because of the exam tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit nervous.'At eight 'o clock, students started to arrive at Ventrocloud High School."Did you hear about the incident at Supreme World yesterday? Randall Burton was beaten to death.""I saw it; I was at Supreme World at the time. But I don't know who did it. Police cars and ambulances all showed up. I heard from the room service staff that there was blood everywhere on the ground. Randall Burton is likely to be disabled now.""I wonder who he messed with

At half-past five in the afternoon, during the Math Olympiad training class, Albert had just finished explaining the last problem. So, he closed the textbook and said, "We've covered all topics. Does anyone have any questions? If not, you can all head back early today. Review what you need to, get a good night's rest, and don't let it affect your performance tomorrow. And one last thing, don't be late, and don't forget to bring your admission tickets."After giving some additional instructions, Albert picked up his books and left.The others started packing up their bags, while Lem came over and patted Madelyn on the shoulder. "Class is dismissed early. Want to hang out?""I'm not going. I have something to do later," she replied.Lem said, "I've heard that excuse from you a hundred times. Is it because your parents are strict?"Madelyn smiled faintly but didn't say anything.Kennedy gave Lem a meaningful look. Lem seemed to suddenly remember something. He covered his mouth, real

"Exactly! What if she decides to complain to Ethan Arnold? My parents could get into serious trouble."A sly gleam appeared in Kayla's eyes as she said, "You all are worthless. But don't fret, she won't be with Ethan for much longer."She thought, 'She began with such confidence, openly declaring Ethan Arnold as her boyfriend. Now, her boyfriend is cheating on her. She must be feeling so embarrassed.'Madelyn left the school, and her driver, who didn't expect her to finish school early today, was still waiting outside.She headed to a cellphone repair shop to get her phone fixed.The shop owner examined her phone and said, "This is the latest model! The screen is in such bad shape that repairing it will cost almost as much as buying a new phone. It might be better not to fix it. I just got some new models in. Would you like to take a look?"Madelyn hesitated for a moment. "Um, okay." She didn't have anything particularly important on her phone, aside from the usual junk messages

Sylvia had been in the operating room for three hours. Madelyn waited outside, repeatedly calling Forrest's phone, but he didn't answer.Restlessly pacing back and forth, she wondered, 'Where on earth could Forrest be?' She didn't have any contact numbers for Forrest's close ones; she only had his.Suddenly, a thought crossed Madelyn's mind, 'Could he be with Alex at Portsmouth Fishing Village?' Besides that place, she had no idea where else he might go.Madelyn quickly found the phone number for the owner of Happy Seafood Grill, Jeff Massey.While the phone was dialing, she thought, 'Please pick up!'Meanwhile, at Portsmouth Fishing Village, Jeff was being held captive by a group of thugs. They had driven out all the diners who were enjoying their meals."What do you want?" Jeff asked.Fred played with a knife in his hand. "Oh, nothing much, just a little something. But you'd better behave yourself, or this knife in my hand might lose its manners. If anyone calls you and asks a

Madelyn briefly explained the situation to Alex.Alex paused, and her client let out a groan due to pain. She quickly said, "Hold on a moment." Then she turned to Madelyn, "I'll gather some folks, and we'll go look for him."Madelyn replied, "Thank you."Alex swiftly assembled a few friends who used to hang out with Forrest.One of the guys said, "It's been a long time since Forrest last came to see us. Since he left here, we haven't been in touch much. Most of the time, it was him reaching out to us. We're not really sure where he usually goes.""Yeah, even though Forrest used to scavenge for scraps with me, that was a long time ago."'Scavenging for scraps?' Madelyn had never known Forrest's life had been that difficult in the past.She asked, "Did he... used to have a tough life?"The redhead chimed in, "You bet! He used to work multiple jobs, and he was the one hauling most of the seafood from the sea. Many couldn't keep up with him."This was a side of Forrest that Madely

Madelyn quickly ended the call and spotted a familiar group of people approaching her. Among them were several individuals she recognized as Fred's henchmen.Without wasting any time, Madelyn swiftly pulled down the storefront shutter, recalling that there was a back door. She knew she had to get out of there.As she made her way to the back exit, she desperately dialed the Arnold family driver's number. But her phone abruptly shut down due to a depleted battery.Madelyn's mind raced with questions. 'Why is Zach here?' she wondered. 'If he's after me, is he planning to silence me?'Madelyn had barely taken a step toward the back door when two chilling figures suddenly appeared before her. In the moonlight, Fred's menacing scar across his eye seemed even more ominous. He spoke sternly, "Ms. Jent, Mr. Jardin is deeply concerned for your safety out here alone, so he has sent us to ensure your protection. Please, come with us."Madelyn's mind raced as she considered her options. She t
