Chapter 96
Five people got out of the car. Madelyn propped her hands on the ground, staring back at their nauseating gazes. She backed away in fear."Wh-What do you all want?" She continued, "D-Don't come any closer! If you want money, I'll give you all of my money."Rogan smiled lewdly and slowly walked closer to Madelyn, "Fucking hell. I almost broke my bones because of you. You're still trying to run...? Let's see where you can run to now...""This stupid bitch. Why are you wasting our time talking to her? Just bring her to our turf, and the five of us can have some fun with her!""That's right! I guarantee it'll take less than three days to get her to submit to us completely. Soon enough, she'll serve us and give us a few sons."Madelyn stood up with her trembling legs, "Do you realize what you're doing is a crime?!"The few men laughed wildly upon hearing her words. They asked in a mocking tone, "Crime? Why don't you take a look around and see where we are? We're the law around here."
Chapter 97
Jadie stood next to Forrest and glanced at him. He only wore a black short-sleeved shirt."Aren't you cold? You should wear the jacket instead!""I'm not cold. You wear it," he said.Claire stood next to Jadie and lightly bumped her arm, "Jadie, are you two dating? That was quick!"Jadie said shyly, "Stop! We're just friends.""You call this just friends? Stop lying!"Meanwhile, Alex rolled her eyes.'She's so damn good at pretending,' she thought.Ajax noticed the odd atmosphere and quickly said, "The weather is so lousy! We finally got together after a while, and now it's raining. The heavens are being so rude!""Rude? Who do you think you are, calling the heavens rude?! You're gonna get struck by lightning," Alex said.The group burst into laughter."No way! None of us brought an umbrella. When's it going to stop raining?""Who knows?""Hey, do you guys hear that? I think someone's calling for help.""Calling for help? Are you sure you're not hallucinating?""No. I re

"Keep running! Why'd you stop?""Come on, girl. Stop resisting and just follow us back. We won't hurt you."Madelyn glanced at the raging waves beneath her. As the rocks under her feet fell, they were instantly swallowed by the waves. In the face of such uncertainty, she found herself contemplating, 'Am I scared right now? Perhaps I am.'Memories flooded her mind—tragic deaths, betrayal, and the loss of cherished things. She had once believed she was the happiest person, but that dream shattered, leaving behind a gaping void of darkness, anguish, and torment.'I thought I could escape from all the tragedies of my past life in this lifetime as long as I let go of those things and those people... But now... I think I was wrong!' She clenched her fists as she grappled with this conflicting realization.'My life was destined to be a tragedy from the very moment of my birth. It seems as though the heavens demand that I pay for all of Hayson Jent's sins. All I yearn for is to live on an

Madelyn leaned back and fell, the wind blowing against her face as if it were a knife.Her body was wracked with pain all over.Forrest shouted, "Madelyn Jent!""Oh no! Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent is-" Fred uttered in shock.Zach said, "Madelyn—""Oh fuck! Rogan, that woman actually jumped. We killed her! What should we do?!""This has nothing to do with me! I didn't kill her! I didn't do anything."Rogan looked down, and Madelyn was already nowhere to be seen. He was so terrified that his legs gave out, and he fell onto the ground. Meanwhile, the others had already run away in fear.At that moment, Forrest arrived. He took off the only piece of clothing on him—a short-sleeved shirt—and jumped into the water without a word."Oh shit, Forrest! Forrest actually jumped!"Madelyn had fallen onto the rocks, and she bled out into the sea. The ice-cold seawater seemed to freeze her limbs, and her consciousness turned hazy. She felt like she was free-falling like a perishing star and fallin

Kevin held an umbrella and walked to the front of the car before heading to the passenger seat. He opened the car door, and Zach, in a perfectly tailored black shirt and slacks, stepped out of the car. He was incredibly handsome, but he exuded an air of intimidation.Everyone seemingly had been intimidated by his presence and automatically made way for him when he approached.Forrest met with his gaze just as he picked up Madelyn. When their eyes met, an unknown, suffocating feeling quickly passed between the two.Zach walked over while Kevin held an umbrella beside him."Mr. Arnold, I owe you one for saving Madelyn's life," said Zach as he stuck out his head. However, Forrest seemed to show no intention of accepting his handshake."You owe me one. Don't you forget it, Mr. Jardin."Zach took the unconscious Madelyn into his arms.They went to the Portsmouth Fishing Village Clinic.On their way back to Ventropolis, they discovered that a section of the road ahead had collapsed.
Chapter 101
On the bed, Madelyn suddenly whimpered.Zach, who was sitting by the bedside, touched her face. He thought, 'It's been three months since we last met. You've lost some weight.'The next morning, sunlight shone through the windows.Madelyn's throat was parched and sore. She slowly regained consciousness and smelled the pungent odor of disinfectant. She stared at the yellowed ceiling above her, dazed.She wondered, 'Am I dead?'Her memory lapsed for a moment, but she soon remembered what happened last night. She gently moved her fingers which were a little cold. As she looked at the IV drip by the bedside, she realized she was still alive."Mr. Jardin, the meeting at the company has been postponed. Mr. Jent asked when you'll be able to go back. Also, the road on the elevated highway has been repaired.""We'll go back as soon as Madelyn wakes up. Have they caught those people?""They were just a few local hooligans. This area's largely unregulated, that's why they dared to act so
Chapter 102
Kevin immediately lowered his head, "No sir, I would never."The bodyguards held the five men down.At this moment, Zach looked extremely menacing. His mere presence evoked terror in everyone present.When Shelley found out that her son was in trouble, she quickly rushed over. Upon seeing Rogan being held down, she shouted, "Rogan!"Rogan cried, "Save me, mom! Save me!"Shelley rushed to him, but she was held back by the bodyguards. She yelled, "Stop it!"Zach had never been a kind person. Everyone in the underworld knew just how ruthless he was. Right now, he was just giving these five people a minor punishment. In the past, he probably would have killed them.Back in the ward, a shiver went down Madelyn's spine as she heard the screams outside. She knew it was Zach's doing.She thought, 'He came to bring me back, but I don't want to go back there.'Madelyn removed the needle from the back of her hand before lifting the blanket. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on the gro

Madelyn decided to change the topic and softly said, "I lost my purse.""Drive," Zach said to the driver.Madelyn was worried, and she would not be troubling him unless it was absolutely necessary. She continued, "There's a photo of my mom inside, and it's very important to me.""Got it." Zach responded.With his assurance, Madelyn knew Zach would surely help her find the wallet.Shelley ran and chased after the car, wailing uncontrollably as Rogan and the others had been taken away by the police.Everyone there was left scared senseless. They had all seen just how ruthless Zach could be. With just a few strikes, all five hooligans had been beaten to a bloody pulp!Blood had been left all over and cleaning it off proved to be a daunting task.As the scene had unfolded, no one had dared to speak a word. They did not want to get into trouble just for a few hooligans and could tell Zach and his people were not to be messed with.Wonda was hiding behind a tractor and had seen ever
