Zach stared at the shivering and pale Jadie. He embraced her and caressed her hair, "Alright, you're fine now.""I feel terrible, Zach..." Jadie croaked."Where's the medication?" Zach asked.Jadie felt like she was suffocating, and it was getting harder to breathe, "I-In the b-bag."Zach quickly brought Jadie to a couch while a servant swiftly brought her bag over. Zach opened the bag and found the medication inside. He then fed Jadie two pills.Jadie was lucky that she survived. After she ate her medication, her breathing gradually returned to normal. At the same time, the ambulance arrived. As Zach carried Jadie, Yvonne stood up and said, "I'm coming with you to the hospital.""No need for that," Zach remarked, his look at her sending shivers down her back with its frostiness.In the ambulance, Jadie kept holding onto Zach's hand. "I'm scared, Zach," she whimpered."It's okay. Nothing's going to happen anymore. We'll talk about this once you get better," Zach comforted her w

Mya looked at Madelyn, a bit puzzled. 'I thought I was the one who told her about it.' But she didn't say anything more.Rosario took the stuff they were holding and placed them on a table.While Ethan was in a meeting at the Arnold Corporation's office building, he suddenly let out a sneeze.Leyton quietly adjusted the air conditioning, thinking to himself, 'I hope he didn't catch a cold from the sea breeze.'In the hospital room, Jadie lowered her head and asked, "Did the school find out what happened to me?""I'm not sure," Madelyn replied in a gentle voice. "I just got back from Marisburg. I'm glad that you're okay.""Did you have lunch? I can get you something," Rosario kindly offered.Madelyn quickly responded, "Thank you, but we ate before we came."Zach stood up and offered Mya a chair. "Please, take a seat. Standing for too long can be tiring.""It's okay, I'm fine standing," Mya replied, feeling a bit shy.Madelyn mentioned, "Jadie, now that I see you're okay, I'll

Madelyn thought that except for Jadie, Zach didn't seem to have many vulnerabilities. Yet, it was precisely this that made Jadie his biggest weakness.Madelyn had expected Zach to be with Jadie. She believed that if it weren't for Jadie, Zach would be dating Yvonne, using her to achieve his goals. Madelyn had, after all, seen his tactics, which were truly impressive."Why didn't I realize you understand me so perfectly?" Zach smiled, gently tucking Madelyn's long hair behind her ears.Madelyn's bright eyes now glistened with tears. The more vulnerable she looked, the more Zach wanted to assert his power over her in the crudest, foulest manner he sometimes imagined. He wanted to pin her down on a bed, making her cry in pleasure and pain. These filthy thoughts of his haunted him, replaying in his dreams night after night. But he couldn't make them real now, as he had yet to finish what he had to do.At this moment, Zach's desires for Madelyn were like maggots creeping through the sha

"Well, I'd love to see how you won't go easy on me," Kai teased Lana.Lana's face reddened, and she nervously bit her lip. "Kai Stewart!""Do you want to try it again?"Lana had always been known for her gentle nature. Ever since she became a part of the Stewart family through marriage, she endured her parents-in-law's scolding without complaint. But this time, her anger got the best of her. She swung her handbag at Kai and stomped on his foot with her high heel.Kai hissed, his eyebrows knitting together.Lana's face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly picked up her bag and left, not daring to look back, fearing that Kai might follow her.Sitting in her car with the mirror open, Lana frowned as she examined the red marks on her neck. She reached for her concealer and foundation to hide those marks.That night, Lana had been covered in marks of passion. Fearing exposure, she had to tell the other Stewart family members that she had gone out of town to visit a doctor and hadn

Kevin didn't know what Zach was up to, but Zach's actions at the casino today left him feeling puzzled. He thought, 'Mr. Jardin seems to be deliberately losing to Mr. Burton.'But no matter what Zach did, he always inspired an inexplicable trust in people. Even if it meant something as serious as a crime, Kevin had enough faith in him."Mr. Jardin?" Kevin looked at Zach, who seemed lost in thought. He wondered, 'Could he be thinking about Ms. White?' After a moment, he concluded, 'Well, it makes sense. Mr. Jardin and Ms. White have been close since they were kids, and that happened to Ms. White at the Young residence!'Tonight, Randall was still basking in his belief that he could outsmart everyone. Little did he know that his every move was being closely monitored by them.The deal they were negotiating with the Burton family's company was nothing more than a trap, leading Randall to his downfall.Kevin had been by Zach's side for many years, and he knew Zach well. He was ruthles
