Zach said, "Come in."Madelyn didn't want others to see them in such an intimate position, and she wanted to stand up, but he wouldn't let her.Then Kevin came in. "Ms. Jent's clothes are all clean."Zach spoke calmly, "Just leave them."After putting the clothes down, Kevin left the room.Madelyn squirmed uncomfortably, "Please let go, I need to change."Zach gently held her slim waist, "Stay here with me for a bit."Madelyn turned her face to the side."Would you like some soup?" He held a spoon close to her mouth."I've eaten enough, you should have your meal.""Be a good girl, okay?" Zach's words sounded a bit stern.He looked at her for a moment, then finally let go of her waist.He gazed at her slender back. When he saw the faint traces of kisses there and the other marks he had left below her V-neck collar, he felt satisfied with what he had done.Madelyn could feel his intense stare.Zach said, "Since you're full, we..."Before he could finish, she used the chanc

Madelyn kept her head down. She felt like there was an invisible weight on her chest. She wasn't sure if it was because she was overthinking or if it was because of the weather today.She knew she wasn't sad because she didn't get messages, but because she didn't feel comfortable in someone else's house.Even though the Jent residence wasn't great, it was still her home. The Arnold residence was not her home.This morning, Ethan had just asked Madelyn to go see his grandmother, but she had run away. She was pretty sure he must be mad.When she was at the Arnold residence, Madelyn always thought about things a lot when stuff like this happened.George said, "Sir, Miss Jent is here."Ethan responded with a nod. He was wearing a dark plaid sweater. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and lean-waisted.The Bentley halted at the entrance, and Ethan, holding a black umbrella, walked over and opened the door. Madelyn stood under the umbrella, and the rain started to subside.Ethan put his a

Zach didn't touch the late-night snacks on the table, but he didn't reach for them. Instead, he opened an unfinished file and kept working. "Aren't these problems from the last semester? You're part of the Math Olympiad team already. You can handle these, right? If you can't, they might remove you from the team."He added, "If you're having trouble with your studies, should I find you a tutor?"When Jadie heard his words, her heart sank. 'Does he also think I'm not as good as Madelyn? I'm not pretty like her, and my family and grades aren't as good either?'Zach's voice grew stern. "I've never thought that about you. When did you start feeling this way?"Jadie said, "But it's true. When I'm around her, I feel like I'm not as good. At school, people always see me as the adopted member of the Jent family. Even my friends only got close to me because of Madelyn!"Zach reached out and gently touched her long hair. "Jadie, you're you, and Madelyn is Madelyn. You don't need to compare y

Madelyn looked at her expression and realized things were clearly not that simple. However, she did not ask further questions. Because she knew knowing too much might not necessarily be a good thing.She then went upstairs. She thought, 'In my past life, Jasmine indeed got admitted into the hospital due to illness at this time. She spent more than half a month recuperating there. But I didn't know the specific reason.'Why's she at home this time?'Madelyn realized after her reborn, some things seemed to have changed but they actually did not. Things would ultimately progress toward the predetermined ending.So, Madelyn was worried. She did not know if Zach still drugged her in this life.She also was not sure about her current health condition. She did not know if she had any other symptoms other than uterine deformity.She wondered if she had changes in cells that led to the development of cancer.To avoid such a situation, Madelyn would now go to the hospital for a medical ch

"Zach!"Just when the atmosphere between Zach and Madelyn was tense, Jadie's voice could be heard from the corridor.The next second, she appeared at the door.Zach, "What's the matter?"Jadie, "Mr. Jent wants you to go to the study."Zach, "Okay."Madelyn thought, 'Lifesaver!'After Zach left with Jadie, Madelyn immediately closed the door and locked it.In the study, Zach said, "Father."Hayson was praying. After he was done, he turned around and said, "The company faced many problems during the time when I was away."Do you have anything that you want to say to me about that?""It was indeed my negligence back in Portsmouth Fishing Village. I failed to protect her. I'm willing to accept any punishment," Zach lowered his head as he responded.Hayson, "Have you found out who was behind it?""They're all Nicolas Ball's people. Previously, when he took control of our business area, I used some methods to get him imprisoned for two years. Now that he's out, he's targeted Mad
