Chapter 1057
Kevin looked at Madelyn intently, his eyes holding back his thoughts. He stood up, staying quiet. He never really
thought of Madelyn as Mrs. Jardin.
Kevin was just following Zach’s orders, even though he did not really want to. In a different time, Kevin could have
been Zach’s devoted general, unwavering in war.
Perceptive to Kevin’s feelings, Madelyn addressed him, “Mr. Harrison, your look says it all. I know you disapprove of
me. I overheard part of your conversation. You and Zach are using women as pawns for your ambitions. Isn’t that

Her voice chilled as she continued, “Whether or not you have genuine feelings for Blake, I advise you to keep your
distance. It’s not about suitability; it’s about worthiness. You don’t measure up to someone like

“Don’t repeat Zach’s mistakes,” she warned, sounding protective, almost maternal.
Before leaving his office, she added, “I’ll discuss Blake’s situation with Zach. After all, he listens to
everything I say now.”
Kevin’s expression darkened. Madelyn’s words struck a nerve, underscoring his insecurities about his

“You remind me of myself at your age,” Madelyn remarked.

Blake, surprised, said, “I can’t picture you fighting, Madelyn. You’re always so calm.”
As Madelyn applied medicine to Blake’s wounds, she reflected, “People change. Standing up for yourself was the
right thing. Now, they won’t dare to mess with you again.”
“I heard your argument with Kevin, and I think I know what his motives are,” Madelyn confessed.
Blake winced under the sting of the medicine, “What do you mean, Madelyn?”
