'Zach should have known this would happen once he chose to take off the mask and lay all his cards down on the table. He should have known that we were destined to end up in this predicament. He should just keep doing his thing while I live my life, neither of us interfering with each other. By the time he gains complete control of the Jent family, I might not even be in Ventropolis anymore.' Madelyn thought."What's the point of throwing a tantrum at me?" Zach asked as he watched the bowl roll around the floor. It was very sturdy and did not break. "I won't say it a second time; lie back down!"Madelyn's frail body stood by the door. She did not budge as the cold wind from the outside blew through her loose clothing. The emptiness made her cold, and her stomach started to throb with pain. At the same time, the awkward mood was broken by a nurse's voice asking, "Why are you out of bed? Are you not in pain anymore?"She continued to ask, "I heard both of you fighting from the corrido

"Zach Jardin!" Madelyn angrily raised her hand and swung it at his face.However, to her surprise, Zach grabbed her wrist tightly and said sarcastically, "Raising your hand towards me... you're being naughty again!"Madelyn struggled to break free from his grasp. Her gaze was steely, "I will never bow down to you. You can do whatever you want! From now on, I'll never beg you for anything ever again."She felt extremely naive. Zach's goal was to see her suffer as she tried to live helplessly for the Jent family. To think that she would stoop so low as to beg him for help! She must have gone insane!As they walked through the living room, Hayson was having a meal with Jasmine."Father, Aunt Jasmine!" Madelyn called out.Hayson answered without raising his head, "Where's Zach?"Zach called out to him, "Father."Hayson continued, "Just in time; I'm having a meal with your Aunt Jasmine. Come over and let us eat together."Zach refused, "No need. I've sent Madelyn back. I still need

Jadie had called her to give her a box of pills, saying Rosario had told her to pass them to Madelyn. Since it was not Rosario herself who was giving them to her, Madelyn did not dare eat them. Jadie was one of Zach's people, so who knew what kind of medication it really was?After Madelyn thanked her, she left with Yvonne to go to the canteen. Before Serena could talk to her, she had already left. Serena could not help but exclaim, "Madelyn’s truly getting more amazing. It'd be great if my results could be half as good as hers. My dad scolds me everyday, saying that me being her daughter makes him feel shameful whenever he goes out in public."Jadie lowered her gaze. No one knew what she was thinking about. She pulled the corner of her lips into a smirk and said, "Really? As long as you're willing to work hard, you can be just like Madelyn. You might even join Class Six."As usual, Madelyn still went to listen to Mr. Newton's class. She could not deny that Mr. Newton's teaching me

Alex then told Madelyn the truth: it was Forrest who had saved her from the sea and not Zach.Madelyn knew how much Forrest hated her. He was always the first person who targeted her whenever she was bullied in school. If it was not for his actions, Madelyn would not have transferred to another class.She thought, 'If that's true, the strange things that Forrest said to me back then make sense now. No wonder…'After Alex left, only Madelyn and Danny were left.A female police officer came out of the detention room and called her in.Danny was in handcuffs sitting opposite her. The female police officer sternly said, "Why did you hurt her?!""It’s all because of her… It’s all her fault!" Danny was extremely furious suddenly. He looked like he wanted to kill Madelyn.The female police officer said, "Stop shouting! Sit down."Madelyn pretended to be calm as she looked at him. A hint of killing intent flashed upon her eyes."I know we haven’t talked to each other much, but if it w

Madelyn woke up the next day from a nightmare. Her pajamas were soaked with sweat, and she felt extremely hot.Margaret brought a bowl of carrot ginger soup up, panting heavily. She was old, and it was not easy for her to climb five flights of stairs. She saw Madelyn, who had just woken up, sitting on the bed in a daze.Madelyn did not even notice Margaret had walked into the room. She only came back to her senses when she heard Margaret's voice."Ms. Jent, you've slept for a whole day. Drink this!"Madelyn's eyes were watery when she looked at Margaret, "Yesterday when the police came, what did they tell Dad?"Margaret responded, "I didn't understand much! But they said they'd definitely deal with that matter properly. And Mr. Jent won't let off the person who held a knife against you."Madelyn looked away. Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her bandaged hand. She knew what would happen to Danny.She thought, 'Hayson will surely make Danny pay a thousandfold, and Danny
