Chapter 99
Madelyn leaned back and fell, the wind blowing against her face as if it were a knife.Her body was wracked with pain all over.Forrest shouted, "Madelyn Jent!""Oh no! Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent is-" Fred uttered in shock.Zach said, "Madelyn—""Oh fuck! Rogan, that woman actually jumped. We killed her! What should we do?!""This has nothing to do with me! I didn't kill her! I didn't do anything."Rogan looked down, and Madelyn was already nowhere to be seen. He was so terrified that his legs gave out, and he fell onto the ground. Meanwhile, the others had already run away in fear.At that moment, Forrest arrived. He took off the only piece of clothing on him—a short-sleeved shirt—and jumped into the water without a word."Oh shit, Forrest! Forrest actually jumped!"Madelyn had fallen onto the rocks, and she bled out into the sea. The ice-cold seawater seemed to freeze her limbs, and her consciousness turned hazy. She felt like she was free-falling like a perishing star and fallin
Chapter 100
Kevin held an umbrella and walked to the front of the car before heading to the passenger seat. He opened the car door, and Zach, in a perfectly tailored black shirt and slacks, stepped out of the car. He was incredibly handsome, but he exuded an air of intimidation.Everyone seemingly had been intimidated by his presence and automatically made way for him when he approached.Forrest met with his gaze just as he picked up Madelyn. When their eyes met, an unknown, suffocating feeling quickly passed between the two.Zach walked over while Kevin held an umbrella beside him."Mr. Arnold, I owe you one for saving Madelyn's life," said Zach as he stuck out his head. However, Forrest seemed to show no intention of accepting his handshake."You owe me one. Don't you forget it, Mr. Jardin."Zach took the unconscious Madelyn into his arms.They went to the Portsmouth Fishing Village Clinic.On their way back to Ventropolis, they discovered that a section of the road ahead had collapsed.
Chapter 101
On the bed, Madelyn suddenly whimpered.Zach, who was sitting by the bedside, touched her face. He thought, 'It's been three months since we last met. You've lost some weight.'The next morning, sunlight shone through the windows.Madelyn's throat was parched and sore. She slowly regained consciousness and smelled the pungent odor of disinfectant. She stared at the yellowed ceiling above her, dazed.She wondered, 'Am I dead?'Her memory lapsed for a moment, but she soon remembered what happened last night. She gently moved her fingers which were a little cold. As she looked at the IV drip by the bedside, she realized she was still alive."Mr. Jardin, the meeting at the company has been postponed. Mr. Jent asked when you'll be able to go back. Also, the road on the elevated highway has been repaired.""We'll go back as soon as Madelyn wakes up. Have they caught those people?""They were just a few local hooligans. This area's largely unregulated, that's why they dared to act so
Chapter 102
Kevin immediately lowered his head, "No sir, I would never."The bodyguards held the five men down.At this moment, Zach looked extremely menacing. His mere presence evoked terror in everyone present.When Shelley found out that her son was in trouble, she quickly rushed over. Upon seeing Rogan being held down, she shouted, "Rogan!"Rogan cried, "Save me, mom! Save me!"Shelley rushed to him, but she was held back by the bodyguards. She yelled, "Stop it!"Zach had never been a kind person. Everyone in the underworld knew just how ruthless he was. Right now, he was just giving these five people a minor punishment. In the past, he probably would have killed them.Back in the ward, a shiver went down Madelyn's spine as she heard the screams outside. She knew it was Zach's doing.She thought, 'He came to bring me back, but I don't want to go back there.'Madelyn removed the needle from the back of her hand before lifting the blanket. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on the gro

Madelyn decided to change the topic and softly said, "I lost my purse.""Drive," Zach said to the driver.Madelyn was worried, and she would not be troubling him unless it was absolutely necessary. She continued, "There's a photo of my mom inside, and it's very important to me.""Got it." Zach responded.With his assurance, Madelyn knew Zach would surely help her find the wallet.Shelley ran and chased after the car, wailing uncontrollably as Rogan and the others had been taken away by the police.Everyone there was left scared senseless. They had all seen just how ruthless Zach could be. With just a few strikes, all five hooligans had been beaten to a bloody pulp!Blood had been left all over and cleaning it off proved to be a daunting task.As the scene had unfolded, no one had dared to speak a word. They did not want to get into trouble just for a few hooligans and could tell Zach and his people were not to be messed with.Wonda was hiding behind a tractor and had seen ever
Chapter 104
The bumpy road made the wound on Madelyn's abdomen reopen.She screamed internally, 'It hurts!'Madelyn tried her best to endure the pain and prevent herself from fainting. She felt disoriented, her vision becoming increasingly blurry. Madelyn clenched her teeth and just remained silent, not wanting to cause Zach any more trouble.Suddenly, her body leaned forward. Zach, who was resting with his eyes closed, instantly opened his eyes. He quickly caught her with his hand.As he touched her skin, he noticed how hot her body felt, and pulled her closer toward him.Zach frowned, "How much longer until we arrive at the hospital?""This road was just repaired, so it's a little congested now. It'll take at least an hour."Jadie turned her head and wailed in a terrified voice, "Oh my god. Zach, Madelyn has bled so much."Zach removed Madelyn's blazer. The light-colored shirt inside was stained with blood.He thought, 'She just kept quiet about this?'"Kevin, stop by the roadside and
Chapter 105
Zach had not expected Madelyn to jump into the sea without any hesitation.Evidently, Madelyn was a completely different person now than how he remembered her. He wondered what had caused that.'Did she discover something?'He had noticed something was off ever since she had retaliated against the Linney family.He pondered, 'If she's like this, I can't keep her by my side, let alone give her the chance to get close to the Arnold family.'Jadie watched Zach left with the documents. She realized he did not ask her about what happened to her in Portsmouth Fishing Village and felt that Zach did not care about her at all.When Jadie saw the pile of photos on Zach's desk in the study, she finally realized that when Madelyn had first run away from the Jent family, Zach had sent someone to keep a close watch on her the whole time, instead of just ignoring her.She thought, 'If Madelyn hadn't gotten into trouble, Zach probably wouldn't have gone to Portsmouth Fishing Village personally
Chapter 106
Zach's gaze was terrifying.Madelyn sat on the bed and lowered her head to avoid eye contact with him.She weakly said, "I've been too spoiled and sheltered growing up, so I wanted to see the outside world. Zach, I'm sorry... I won't run away and throw tantrums anymore."She knew it would be unwise to argue with Zach now.He was twenty-six years old, and Hayson was planning to retire early, so once Hayson handed Zach the keys to the company in the future and Zach took over full control of the company like he had in her previous life, Madelyn would no longer be able to escape from him.In short, she was no match for Zach. Madelyn thought, 'I should've realized earlier that it's impossible for me to escape from the Jent family, I should just resign to fate. As long as I don't get married to Zach, that tragedy from my past life won't happen again.'She continued, "I'm fine with Dad wanting me to get married as soon as I graduate from university. But Zach... can you persuade Dad to l
