Just when Madelyn wanted to put down her phone after replying to Kennedy, a news notification suddenly popped up.The news content was: [According to a reliable source, Grace Dion was involved in a car accident on the way to the hospital. Currently, she is being treated at the hospital. It was reported that the vehicle was seventy percent damaged.[We'll provide more updates soon!]Madelyn thought, 'Mrs. Harper?'After she opened the picture and saw the license plate number, she was shocked. She could not understand how such a thing could happen.She then quickly called Mya. Madelyn called her several times, but she still did not answer.Madelyn's instinct told her that the car accident was deliberately planned. However, she did not know why she felt this way.She thought, 'This incident must be related to either Cecilia or Zach. He must know something. I have to ask him what actually happened.'When Madelyn touched the doorknob, she hesitated. She was convinced that she should

Madelyn put her thoughts aside and focused on her work. Soon after, she received messages from Dorian and Clement.The studio planned to hold a meeting and a gathering for the people working there.Madelyn looked at the group chat and saw everyone urging her to attend. The group chat was lively as many people were texting there.[Madelyn, you must attend!][Yes! You left in a hurry last time, and we didn't have a chance to chat with you.]Many people were still sending messages in the group chat. Madelyn muted it and replied to the two people: [I'll try to make it.]Madelyn had a lot of work to do. Many people were waiting for her draft, so she could not waste any time.The nights during winter always seemed a little longer. After confirming with the client that her draft was acceptable, she wanted to send it to the studio. Then, she thought about the gathering tonight and decided only to send the draft tomorrow as she did not want to spoil her colleagues' mood and make them wor

In one of Nightfall's private rooms in Supreme World, Zach ended the call after learning that Madelyn had left Southern Haven Villas. He instructed Kevin to check her whereabouts.He then returned to his seat in the room. Cecilia, who was sitting beside him, was engaging in a business conversation with the representative of the world's largest technology company. Her eyes were slender and charming as she looked at Zach, who had just returned. Cecilia was wearing high heels and a pair of thin black pantyhose. She then teased Zach with her long legs under the table."Ms. Samford, you two can continue drinking. I need to go to the restroom."After the person left, Cecilia, slightly intoxicated, went behind Zach. She bent down and hugged him from behind, "Although you didn't get to take wedding photos this time, we secured a contract worth thirty billion dollars. How do you plan to thank me?""Tell me, what do you want?" Zach responded as he played with the car key.Cecilia stood stra

Madelyn chuckled, "I was just teasing you guys."Clement and Dorian did not expect that. They thought, 'Madelyn finally jokes.'The next moment, Madelyn's expression turned stiff when she saw Zach and Cecilia walking closer.Dorian and Clement were shocked, too. The four of them were looking at Madelyn at the same time.Clement reacted, "M–Mr. Jardin, Ms. Samford!"Cecilia was wearing a red dress draped in a black blazer. She smiled confidently, "Madelyn? Why didn't you tell us that you're here? Zach and I would've gone to get you if we'd known."Cecilia turned to Zach, "Zach, why didn't you bring her along?"Madelyn sneered without replying to Cecilia. She did not show much expression on her face. She just ignored them, walked toward the private room, and pushed the door open to enter.Madelyn thought, 'I'm so disgusted.'Clement and Dorian hurriedly followed Madelyn into the private room.Dorian asked, "Madelyn, isn't he your brother? Back then, some news reported that you

"My goodness, a two-million-dollar red wine? I don't even have two million in my savings, let alone the money to afford such expensive wine!""Yes, me too! We have to thank Madelyn.""Wow, Madelyn. Is your brother here too? If he is, we should invite him to join us! We've never seen the CEO of Jardin Corporation in real life. We've actually never seen any big shots who appear on the covers of financial magazines in real life.""Yes! Madelyn, can we meet him?""I'm not very close to him," Madelyn casually said to stop them from talking about it.Madelyn continued cutting the cake while Clement and Dorian helped her with it.Clement intensely looked at Madelyn's delicate side profile as she focused on cutting the cake. Her stray strands of hair hanging around the ear made him want to tuck them. Her skin was also fair. She was a charming natural beauty.Madelyn put down the knife. She then stood straight and happened to meet Clement's eyes. She said with a smile, "I'm done cutting

It was quiet in the private room. Dorian invited everyone to take their seats.However, it did not take long for someone to curiously ask, "Madelyn, isn't Mr. Jardin your brother? Why does it seem like you're not very close to him?"It was an intern who said that. She unknowingly had crossed a line.Clement frowned as he gave the intern a warning look. She immediately sensed something and hurriedly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to ask that. I won't ask anymore."Madelyn just smiled faintly. She calmly explained, "It's fine. We were indeed siblings before. But after my father passed away, I didn't really have any relationship with him anymore. Moreover, there's no such thing as a free lunch. There's always a price to pay after taking someone else's things. That was a two-million-dollar bottle of wine... I won't be able to save up two million dollars even if I work at the studio for more than ten years."Someone asked, "What about the viral news that said you two we

Madelyn had not seen fireworks in a long time. She said, "Sure. Let me go to the restroom first."After exiting the private room, she followed a waiter's guidance to the restroom. In the relatively quiet corridor, she overheard voices from inside the restroom.Two girls were touching up their makeup and fixing their hair in front of the mirror."What's so great about her for Dorian and Clement to focus all their attention on her? We can do what she does!""Yes! I've had a two-million-dollar wine, too. She looked so arrogant, as if everyone was indebted to her. So she has a wealthy brother; what's so impressive about that?""Her brother probably doesn't even acknowledge her anymore. I bet she's just pretending to be rich in front of us.""None of us are as pretentious as her. Who knows if that bottle of wine was even real!"Madelyn turned around and walked away indifferently.She did not return to the room. Instead, she found a quiet place to sit.A faint light illuminated the

The two girls thought, 'If we drink it all, we'll die. But we can't just say no to his orders.... Didn't Madelyn say she has no relationship with him? Why did Mr. Jardin say she's his wife? If we'd known that, we would've never said what we said in the restroom."Zach returned to the private room. Cecilia looked at his gloomy face as she walked toward him. She reached out to tidy up his collar, "I'm so jealous of her. You won't scold her no matter what she says. When can I have such privilege, too?"Zach pushed her away before picking up the car key on the table and leaving.Cecilia immediately shouted to stop him, "Zach! You aren't allowed to go back tonight! I spent thirty billion dollars to make you happy; can't you treat me better? Can't you even spend a night with me?"She ran to him and hugged him tightly from behind. Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, Cecilia's emotions seemed very intense. She said, "I don't mind you marrying Madelyn. But can't you stay with me today?
