Madelyn replied to Margaret, "I just want to taste it."It has been a year since Madelyn's rebirth, a time she would not forget.Margaret found it hard to refuse Madelyn's rare request. She said, "I'll make it right away, just like the ones you get outside.""Thanks," Madelyn said.Margaret hurriedly began preparing the grilled food for Madelyn, but the kitchen at home lacked the proper ingredients, as Madelyn was not fond of spicy food. When Margaret realized they did not have the necessary equipment for grilling, she quickly called the driver, Jordan, to get some.Jordan planned to inform Zach about that, as everything concerning Madelyn required his permission. It might seem trivial, but Zach never tired of knowing every little detail about her.When Zach was about to check on Madelyn, he learned about the grilled food request from Jordan. Zach asked, "Grilled food?""Yes, Mr. Jardin. Margaret gave me some money and asked me to get the items on the list." Jordan replied, hand

Madelyn realized it was Zach holding her in his arms. His feverish body temperature was alarmingly high. He was still unwell, yet he insisted on staying with her.As Madelyn looked up at Zach's handsome face, she remembered how she used to love him so dearly. She thought, 'Zach, why did you hate me so much in the previous life? Is it because I had hurt Jadie? But I had atoned for that sin. Are your feelings for me genuine now?'Meanwhile, Cecilia, wearing a bathrobe in a high-rise apartment, furiously scattered everything on the table. She roared, "Zach! How could you marry her!"Cecilia was in a frenzy, trembling as she looked at the announcement on the company's social media account and the glaring marriage certificate on her phone. She could not believe Zach had married Madelyn."I was the one who helped you build Jardin Corporation, who pushed you to become CEO, who led you to your success. I should have been the one you married! How could you marry someone else?!" Cecilia grum

Despite her fear of the imposing man before her, Blake stood bravely in front of Grace and Mya. Blake declared with a shaky voice, "I-I'm warning you, don't even think about touching Mya."Mya, hiding behind Grace, timidly praised Blake in a soft voice, just loud enough for everyone to hear, "Blake, you're so brave."Fred, who had come expecting a different reception, frowned sternly at Mya. He thought, 'I didn't expect her to be so scared of me.'"Mya, come here," Fred commanded.Mya was frightened by Fred's command and burst into tears. She said, "No, you're a bad guy. Mom said you've been with many women, you're unclean. She and Madelyn told me not to be friends with you, and I don't want to see you ever again!"Mya recalled how Fred had hurt her last time. To Mya, Fred was as bad as Luke.After that, Mya clutched her doll and hurried upstairs, not even glancing back at Fred. He had not expected such rejection. After traveling from Ventropolis to Sutherlyn, that was not an out

Fred gave Blake a sharp, piercing gaze. He asked curtly, "How long until she gets better?"Blake bit her lip, then replied, "The doctor said it's a deep-rooted emotional issue from her childhood, worsened by the abuse she suffered. She has been traumatized. Recovery, if at all possible, will be slow. She's been medicated for over a decade with little improvement. In addition to her being constantly bullied, how could she possibly get better anytime soon?""There's no disease that can't be cured," Fred declared sternly. "You have one day to pack up. Tomorrow, we're heading back to Ventropolis. If you don't comply, you'll face the consequences."Fred's glance briefly met Mya's before shifting away coldly.Blake exhaled deeply, feeling relieved at Fred's departure.In the car, Fred unbuttoned his sleeve to reveal a stark bite mark. Riley caught a glimpse of the injury in the rearview mirror, noting blood seeping through. Riley murmured, "I've never seen Mr. Turner being so tolerant t

In a world of power and influence, two men stood at the pinnacle of their respective fields. One a business tycoon, the other a political force. Both were unmatched in their realms.Cecilia's twisted affair with Fred in another lifetime cleared many obstacles in her path. In this life, she was determined not to let anything or anyone stand in her way."Is everything taken care of?" Cecilia demanded impatiently, her voice tinged with triumph. She caressed her belly and climbed into a waiting car, her eyes glinting with determination.Cecilia mused to herself, "You think you've won, Zach. But in the past life, even after marrying that worthless Madelyn, you still discarded her. People change, and in the end, you'll see I'm the only one meant for you. The feeling of the two most outstanding, most powerful men falling at the mercy of my charms is something you wouldn't understand even if you lived two lifetimes, Madelyn. You're destined to be overshadowed by me."The car sped away into
