Madelyn assured, "Starting today, I'll be the one paying your monthly salary."Margaret gave her thigh a reassuring pat and responded, "Okay, I'll call a locksmith right away. If Mr. Jardin questions me later, please back me up. I still have my family to support."Madelyn nodded in agreement, saying, "Of course, I will."After approximately two to three hours, Margaret returned to the hospital, visibly perspiring. She reported, "The front door lock has been changed, and I've reset the password as per your instructions."Madelyn expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for your prompt action."Margaret humbly replied, "Well, you're paying me. It's my job."Madelyn changed out of the hospital gown before quickly completing the discharge procedures. She paid the medical expenses with the bank card Hayson gave her. Hayson would send her money every month. And since she did not usually spend much, she had quite a lot of savings.As she exited the ward and stepped into the corridor, Margar

The school would occasionally call the villa's landline. However, Madelyn wanted peace. So, she unplugged all the telephone lines. She did not even know where her handphone was. She had completely isolated herself from the outside world.She spent her days following a routine. She would eat, sleep, draw, and occasionally water the flowers in the garden when she was in a good mood.At the Azure Corporation, Zach had his hand in his pocket as he walked out of the conference room. Kevin was following beside him.Zach asked, "How's the situation at the Southern Haven Villas?"Kevin reported, "After Ms. Jent returned from the hospital, she's been locking herself inside the villa. She hasn't left the house for a long time."Zach's eyes were gloomy and mysterious as he said, "Okay."When he went back to his office, he sat at the desk. He accidentally moved the mouse. The computer screen displayed a girl wearing a knee-length white floral-print leisure pajama. She was sitting cross-legge

As Margaret said that, she grabbed her phone and pressed the phone number for Madelyn to see.Madelyn immediately recognized the phone number. She thought, 'If he already has an answer, there's no need for us to contact each other unnecessarily again.'He's indeed a very good man. But maybe we aren't destined to be together.'Madelyn made wholehearted efforts in every kind of relationship she was in. She had no regrets.Three days later, at six in the evening, Madelyn wore a plain black hooded coat and light-colored sports pants. The weather was still cold, so she wore a few pieces of clothes. She was not really dolled up. However, she applied some light-colored lipstick to make herself look better.This was her first time leaving Southern Haven Villas after being discharged from the hospital. It was still sunny. The sunlight shone on her body, making her feel warm.The scheduled driver arrived at the door. When Madelyn fastened her seatbelt, she was thinking about getting a driv

The large screen behind Madelyn displayed the painting created by her. It was spectacular. It was not just about the colors but also the painting skills. It would usually require at least three to four decades of experience to achieve this skill level.Madelyn took a moment to catch her breath. It was hard for her to ignore the gazes of the two people sitting in the main seats. This was her first time seeing Donna. She thought Donna appeared very compatible with Ethan. She found them to be a perfect match.After going through so much, Madelyn would no longer panic. When she saw Ethan, she was more composed than she imagined.After she glanced at him, she removed the hood of her coat and said, "I'm sorry for being late. There was traffic on the way here."Most of the people there were astonished when they saw Madelyn.Initially, they were astonished because, despite her young age, her painting skills reached the level of a prestigious art college. Every year, millions of students a

Halfway through the meal, Madelyn pretended to go to the restroom and left the private room. As a result, the people who wanted to inquire about some gossip from her had no chance to do so.There was a balcony outside the restaurant on the fifth floor. Madelyn requested a cup of hot water from a waiter and sat on the balcony. After a while, someone sat opposite her and asked, "When are you planning to return to school? Your number two position in the whole grade is at risk."Other than discussing questions on school subjects, Kennedy rarely spoke this much.Madelyn did not respond to his question. Instead, she asked, "Are the Math Olympiad results out yet? How did you do?"Kennedy responded, "First place. Most people got scholarships. Jadie got it too."Madelyn nodded, "As expected." She thought, 'Why did he specifically mention Jadie?'Kennedy continued, "Even so, I won't give up the first-place position to you."Madelyn rarely appeared relaxed in front of him. She replied, "I

Madelyn smiled politely. A hint of detachment flashed upon her eyes as she said, "It's fine. The elevator is full, so we'll take the next one."When she rejected Ethan in front of so many people, they looked at her and Ethan with complex gazes.Madelyn turned to Kennedy and said, "I left something in the room. I need to go back and take it."Kennedy nodded, "I'll wait for you."Madelyn responded, "Okay."When she turned around and left, the elevator slowly closed. Ethan knew she was lying. Indeed, Madelyn did not leave anything behind. She simply wanted to avoid him.Madelyn spent a few minutes in the private room. She only left when the waiter came in to clean the table.Madelyn and Kennedy took the elevator down to the first basement floor. She sat in the front passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt, "All right. Let's go."Kennedy stopped her, "Wait."Madelyn looked confused, "Huh?"Kennedy suddenly leaned forward to Madelyn. She leaned back slightly, thinking he might do

So, no matter how well Ethan did or how outstanding he was, his father would never see it. He had never received any recognition or appreciation from him either.Ethan grew up in an incomplete family.He then became completely rebellious. He would drink, smoke, get tattoos, and stay out all night. He eventually became a rogue and a school bully that no one dared to mess with.At some point, someone took revenge and almost beat him to death on the street. He was covered in blood and almost died. It was at that time that he met Donna. She stayed with him one year after another.At that time, Ethan only had her by his side. He was the one who proposed that they get into a relationship. Perhaps it was driven by his youthful recklessness and a moment of indulgence.He did not know what it meant to like someone at that time. He thought not wanting to lose someone meant the same as liking them...When he found out that Donna was going to leave him back then, he almost sacrificed his lif

Ethan said, "Leyton, take her back to Prilo."Prilo was a small town about a hundred miles away from Ventropolis. It was Donna's hometown. It would take about two to three hours by car to get there.Leyton hesitated, "But, Mr. Arnold, you...""I know what I'm doing," Ethan said before getting out of the car. When Donna also tried to get out, Leyton locked the door. Donna cried so much that she ruined her makeup. She clenched her fingernails tightly against the car window and said, "Ethan, you bastard! Back then, you asked me to stay by your side forever. But now you don't want me. You're a liar."Ethan remained silent.Donna continued, "Ethan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you. That car crash was just an accident. I didn't expect it'd make you become like this. I'll spend my whole life making it up to you from now on, okay? Let's not separate again. I beg you... Don't send me back!"I'll go crazy without you!" Donna repeatedly hit the car window and said, "Leyton, open the doo
