"Is there anything else? I'm having dinner right now, so I'll be hanging up if there isn't." "Dinner? Are you with Mr. Arnold?" Madelyn looked in Ethan's direction and was coincidentally met with his gaze.
"Mhm," she replied.
"Madelyn, Zach and | are together now!" "That's great, congratulations.” Madelyn said indifferently. Her tone was devoid of emotion.
"We'll get your blessings, right?" "Mhm." "Thank you, Madelyn!" 'So he's finally gotten what he wanted and got together with Jadie?' thought Madelyn.
She thought bitterly, ‘It turns out Zach really can give up everything for a person. And the only one who could make him do that is Jadie. Initially, Zach could've gotten together with Yvonne and used the Young family to take over the Jent family. He could've easily done all of this with his capabilities. In fact, he could've built his own business empire that rivaled the Jent family's. There was no need for him to use such lowly tactics and stain his own reputation... Now that he's chosen Jadie, this means he was willing to give up everything. | should've known." Madelyn had already figured the two had gotten together when her father asked about them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn this lifetime, she did not interfere, and the two successfully got together.
'l suppose I've made it up to Jadie for what I've done in the past!" she thought again.
Madelyn thought of her father's reaction that day and reminded Jadie, "Father already knows about you two being together. He's furious. You and Zach should avoid him." "Don't worry. Zach will protect me." Madelyn could imagine the happy look on Jadie's face when she said this sentence.
She was relieved that Zach would no longer harass her, "Okay." Madelyn hung up the phone and returned to her seat.
"They're asking you to go back?" Ethan asked.
Madelyn put away her phone and shook her head.
"Nope. Jadie called. The new school term starts tomorrow, and she asked me to help her ask for leave." Ethan nodded. He glanced at his expensive wristwatch and said, "It's getting late. I'll send you home. I'll come pick you up again tomorrow after school.” "Mhm." Now that the new school term had started, Madelyn needed to return to the Jent residence.
‘But... Zach and Jadie are together now, so do | even need to return to the Jent residence?’ she wondered.
Madelyn and Ethan sat in a luxurious Cayenne.
"What's the matter? Why are you staring at me?" Ethan asked.
Madelyn immediately looked away when she realized she was staring.
"It's nothing," she replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Madelyn got home, she took a bath and went to sleep.
That night, she had a dream. In the dream, she saw Zach and Jadie's future. Zach had a successful career, and Jadie graduated at the top of her class. The two got married and lived happily together. They had a daughter and a son. Then, the two grew old together and had lots of grandchildren.
Meanwhile, Madelyn was plagued by illness and eventually died alone in a hospital, as the Jent family slowly lost its reputation and disappeared from Ventropolis.
In the dream, Zach became a prominent figure in Ventropolis many years later. He had worked his way to the top and become one of the elites, appearing at a banquet with Jadie and being interviewed by reporters.
One of the reporters asked him about his regrets.
Zach replied, "A girl from the Jent family. Her name's Madelyn Jent." The reporter asked about the relationship between them.
Zach was silent.
