“Zach, there’s not a single person in the world who doesn’t want power. Don’t forget who helped you earn back the money you donated to charity,” Cecilia reminded Zach.
Before Zach revealed that he had a fiancee, everyone assumed Cecilia would be his wife. Had the reporters not revealed pictures of Madelyn holding a child at the mall, Cecilia would have been a hot topic for the public.
Zach was oddly quiet and asked, “Are you sure about that?”
Cecilia replied, “Of course, whether it’s you from the previous life or the present, you’ve remained as ambitious as ever. You were able to get rid of Madelyn for profit the last time, and you will do the same in this life. However, this time, I might need to wait a little longer. But it’s okay; there is still time. Regardless, whether you marry Madelyn or not, it doesn’t affect me much.”
‘A useless woman is doomed to be abandoned by fate. Madelyn could not escape this destiny in both her
lifetimes,’ Cecilia thought.
At six in the morning, Madelyn tried to listen to the conversation coming from the master bedroom next door but could not make out what they were saying. Then, she heard footsteps. After everything quieted down, Madelyn fell back asleep. Fifteen minutes passed by, and the doorknob suddenly turned. She heard the sound of a key inserted into the keyhole, but the door would not open.
Madelyn opened her eyes as the noise woke her and Dalton up. She grunted before falling back asleep. The person behind the door was probably Zach. He tried to unlock the door using another key
but failed to do so because another key was blocking the keyhole. In the end, Madelyn fell back asleep when the sound outside the door ceased. She slept until noon.
When Margaret entered, Madelyn was still in bed, wearing her pajamas. She saw Madelyn upset and pinching the bridge of her nose. Margaret asked Madelyn, “Oh my, Ms. Jent. Are you not feeling well?”
Every time Madelyn furrowed her brows or massaged her forehead, Margaret made a big fuss out of it. Madelyn shook her head and replied, “Nothing’s wrong. I just had a nightmare and did not have a good
rest.”
Margaret answered, “It must’ve been Dalton; he likes to kick his blanket. I had to tuck him in several times
throughout the night.”
Madelyn told her, “Take him downstairs to play first. I’ll rest for a while longer.”
Margaret hesitated before saying, “Mr. Jardin has a guest downstairs. They are waiting for you to have a
meal with them downstairs.”
Madelyn closed her eyes and said weakly, “Tell him I’m not awake yet.”
She knew who was downstairs without even having to go down there. At this point, Madelyn did not think she could sit with Cecilia and have a meal calmly.
Margaret hesitantly said, “Ms. Jent, that woman doesn’t look friendly at all. If you don’t go down now, she might seduce Mr. Jardin.”
When Madelyn heard this, she thought it was hilarious. She told Margaret with a harsh tone, “Margaret, I don’t want to know anything about his affairs.”
When Zach approached the door, he heard the voices in the room and slowed down.
