Chapter 1060
Blake realized she could not cover up any longer. She forced a smile, playfully grabbed Jill’s hand, and said, “Jill,
fancy seeing you here!”
Then, Blake headed to her office without looking back. Her office soon buzzed with rumors about her and
Kevin.
When Blake arrived at her desk, she found it buried under snacks and gifts. She felt several pairs of eyes on her.
However, when she looked up, the others quickly turned away.
Blake did not mind the unexpected perks, knowing it was not her money that paid for them.

new arrival.
Before, the company was buzzing about Zach’s favoritism toward Madelyn, stirring up rumors of the typical
mistress-to-wife drama. Zach, however, had firmly shown his intolerance for such gossip last year by firing a team
and halting their projects in a fit of anger, revealing that his only emotional outbursts were related to her.
An old Azure Corporation employee once revealed that Madelyn was Zach’s childhood friend, and he was an
adopted son of Hayson. The revelation quelled any negative gossip about Madelyn.
They also learned about Zach’s efforts to win Madelyn’s heart after he had been trapped in a political marriage with
the Young family, leading the heartbroken Madelyn to leave the capital for four years.
Madelyn had only reconciled with Zach after she returned to the country.
Zach’s devotion to Madelyn was clear, especially compared to his treatment of his ex-wife.
That morning, major media platforms announced the official news of Zach and Madelyn’s wedding next month, set
to coincide with Valentine’s Day.
But unbeknownst to many, Valentine’s Day held a dark significance for Madelyn.
Madelyn learned about the wedding date from Margaret at home, where holiday decorations were
replaced with wedding ones.
The wedding photographer arrived with photos as Zach discussed plans with the wedding planner. The
staff admired the pictures.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jardin are a perfect match,” a servant remarked.

“I don’t think Mr. Jardin can find anyone more perfect than Mrs. Jardin.” another added.
Madelyn took the carrot ginger soup from Margaret, a daily remedy for the cold weather.
Looking at the photos, Margaret commented, “These photos are stunning, Ms. Jent. Mr. Jardin genuinely cares for
you and Dalton. Unlike many wealthy men, he’s always with you and becomes like a father to Dalton. It’s rare to
find someone so rich yet so family-focused.”
Madelyn silently questioned Margaret’s sudden advocacy for Zach, whom she considered a murderer.
Margaret mentioned the wedding date, “February 14th, how perfect!”
That date drained the color from Madelyn’s face.
‘Why that day?’ Madelyn wondered, haunted by its significance. She no longer wished to hear more, so she handed
her bowl to Margaret.
“I need to be alone,” Madelyn said, hurrying to her room.
