Forrest looked like a ferocious beast that ran into its beast master and suddenly turned into an obedient kitten.Ethan rarely ever appeared in public. Even when he was gradually taking over the Arnold Corporation, he was always the mysterious person who never showed his face.It was impossible for them to know the person who sat in the wheelchair, but both Timothy and Adrian knew who he was. He was the prospective heir of the Arnold family in Ventropolis, Ethan Arnold.A few years ago, a car accident robbed him of his legs. He had disappeared since.Ethan from back then was far, far better than Forrest now. The two of them had the same discordant, arrogant, and defiant temperament in them. However, Ethan had changed; he gave them an even more terrifying feeling than before.His gaze alone could crush Forrest alive.Forrest was Ethan's half-brother of a different mother. However, besides Mr. Arnold, no one in the Arnold household recognized Forrest as kin.After all, Forrest's b

In the face of danger, Madelyn found herself thinking, 'Did he hire these people? But why? Is he getting rid of me ahead of time... Has his revenge plan begun? At least we made it to marriage in our past life, but now... Zach has no intentions of letting me live at all.'She thought of the incident at Portsmouth Fishing Village and wondered if he had also hired them.'But if he were the one who had hired them, why did he take revenge on them for me? Who's he putting on a show for right now? Does he plan on personally watching me die after these people take advantage of me?'If this is the case, why didn't he just let me die in the ocean?! Why did he save me? Zach Jardin, what the hell did Hayson Jent do to you? Why are you directing all your hate for him on me? I didn't do anything!'The men started tearing at Madelyn's clothes, and her white fur coat got taken off. Her strength was no match for the men."Tsk! We're watching an explicit live action. Don't you feel a thing, Zach

Just as Zach picked up Madelyn, a snowflake fell onto his nose. It was cold and quickly melted upon contact with his body temperature.He lifted his head and saw that it was starting to snow heavily. The snowflakes fell and remained on the ground before they melted shortly after.Memories flooded Zach's mind.When he joined the Jent family, Madelyn was eight."Look, Zach! It's snowing!"Madelyn was eleven."Zach, can we go build a snowman outside? I like doing that the most!"He thought of eighteen-year-old Madelyn."Zach, if it snows in Ventropolis again this year, I'll confess my feelings for you. Then you'll be my boyfriend, okay?" she said.'You did nothing wrong, Madelyn! But... It was wrong for you to be born into the Jent family. What you've gone through is only the beginning,' he said to himself....Madelyn wandered in the dark for a long time.She felt like a soulless and mindless puppet that was being controlled. When a light appeared in front of her, she walked

Madelyn used to be an arrogant and willful person, but not anymore. Time had softened her rough edges.What she was going through now was nothing compared to how she bullied and tormented Jadie in her past life. So, she had to bear it all, no matter what was happening to her.It was the law of karma, the cycle of consequences.Madelyn closed the window and decided that she would never look at the snow again, nor would she ever like it. She hugged herself and curled up on the small couch, staring blankly at the corner of the wardrobe.When it was midnight, she received a text message. It was from Ethan: [Happy birthday, little princess.]That was her first time receiving a text message. She was shocked and had no idea how Ethan knew it was her birthday today.Only a few people knew when her birthday was. She did not even tell Zach about it. The date of birth on her ID was incorrect; her true birthday was on December 26.A ray of light immediately brightened up Madelyn's gloomy mo

Then, they left the apartment compound together.Madelyn stared out of the car window without speaking to him. She did not know if Zach kept the window half-open on purpose, but the weather made her feel like she was in an ice cellar. However, she refused to say a word and insisted on not speaking to Zach.She was just stubborn like that. She knew very well that Zach married her because he had other intentions, but she said yes anyway. It was just like the way back home. Although she knew she was walking in the opposite direction, she just would not turn back.Zach was not very comfortable in the car either, as half of his coat got wet too. They did not speak a word throughout the twenty-minute journey. Madelyn was freezing.When they arrived at the main entrance of the Southern Haven Villas, Madelyn got out of the car. She noticed a light coming from the gap in the partially drawn curtains in the living room.She could faintly see a fair hand pressing against the curtain, reveali
