Chapter 132
The art exhibition ended at three o’clock in the afternoon. Jadie noticed the familiar car parked outside of the international exhibition hall.
Soon after, she opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
“Zach… When did you get here? Why didn’t you call me? I would’ve come outside earlier if you had told me you were here. You wouldn’t have to wait so long.”
Kevin had a copy of Jadie’s schedule, so he knew she was out of school today to see an art
exhibition.
Zach had just gotten off the plane and happened to pass by, so he picked Jadie up on the way.
“It’s nothing,” said Zach.
Jadie asked, “How’s your project going, Zach?”
“They signed the contract,” he replied.
“Congratulations! You’ve been toiling away for the project for over a week. Now you can

finally have some rest.”
The car started moving.
“Jadie, your seatbelt.”
Jadie was momentarily startled. Then, she replied obediently, “Oh! I forgot.”
She quickly fastened her seatbelt. In the past, Zach would have fastened her seatbelt for her. Jadie noticed how tired he looked, so she did not speak and sat there quietly.
Zach made a U-turn and saw a familiar-looking person about to cross the road. It was
Madelyn. She was bent over and fixing the scarf and shirt of a man in a wheelchair. She opened
the water bottle in her hand and fed him some water.
Zach watched Madelyn’s actions with a sharp gaze. He pursed his lips, and his expression turned icy. The atmosphere in the car grew even more awry.
Jadie also saw Madelyn.
“The school organized an art exhibition excursion today, and Madelyn came with her friend. But his legs… It seems like he’s disabled.”
Zach stared at Madelyn, who stood nearby and felt a sense of déjà vu. He recalled a time when Madelyn treated him this way; gentle and considerate. At the thought of that, Zach felt suffocated.
The traffic light across the street turned green, and Madelyn wheeled the man across the road.

“I can only have lunch with you. I have training and dance class tonight…”
“Alright. I’ll get Kevin to pick you up.”
“Okay. That would be great.”
Ethan’s legs were still not fully recovered, so he could not have spicy food. Madelyn took him to a steamboat restaurant similar to a hot pot restaurant. Since she also preferred lighter foods, both of them had similar palates.
After dinner, she went to Skyrise Tower and did not leave until eight o’clock.

‘I’m being… followed!’ she thought.
Madelyn did not dare to turn around. Nobody was around her right now, and the cold, damp wind blew against her as she gradually walked faster and faster. She felt the person behind her also increased their pace to catch up with her.
Madelyn hid in an alley.
Then, a man wearing a face mask walked over with a murderous glint in his eyes and his hands in his pockets. Madelyn looked behind her in fear.
“Go on! We’ll see where you’re gonna run to now.”
Madelyn had her back against the wall and said fearfully, “Don’t… Don’t come any closer.”
The glaring high beams of a car shone into the alley in the darkness. Madelyn narrowed her
and shielded them from the bright lights. She could not see the person in the car.

“Don’t blame us for what’ll happen today! Blame the person you crossed.”
“Don’t waste your time talking to her, Perro.”
“Be a good girl and stop fighting back, or I’ll cut you.”
Madelyn gripped the wall tightly with her fingers. She stared straight at the source of the bright light without a hint of fear in her eyes.
‘Maybe I’m used to it. Maybe… It’s because there’s a voice telling me Zach might be the person in the car,’ she thought.
