Chapter 1008
‘Since he wants me to be an obedient Mrs. Jardin, I’ll just play the role,’ Madelyn thought to herself.
When Zach left the room, Madelyn’s phone vibrated with a message from Kennedy about work. She took
her phone to the dressing room.
Zach had replaced her old phone with a custom model he made for her, discarding the old one as
outdated. Madelyn suspected he had installed monitoring software on this new phone to track her
movements and intercept messages.
She would not have known about Zach’s intrusive tactics if Kennedy had not mentioned them,
reminiscent of his behavior from five years ago.

Kennedy’s message read, [I found what you were looking for. Andrew never left the country, but the Stewart family
seems to have hidden his whereabouts. The servants said he stayed home after treatment
and never left again. His medical records indicate organ failure, an incurable disease. I fear he may be
dead.]
‘He’s dead? Then what’s the link between Lana and Kai? Why did she forget Andrew? They were together
for years. How could she forget the love of her life? There must be something else,’ Madelyn thought.
Kennedy promptly responded with more information, [Kai harassed Lana once. They had an inappropriate
relationship, but the details are unclear. But Madelyn, why this sudden interest in them?]
Madelyn replied, [Just curious. Thanks for your help.]
Madelyn wondered, ‘How did Kai make Lana forget everything?’
Madelyn heard footsteps. She quickly hid the phone and opened the door to find Zach holding a bowl of pea soup.
His face looked troubled. He asked, “What are you doing?”
Madelyn casually accepted the soup, saying, “Just felt chilly and wanted to add another layer. You go on, I
have things to do.”
“No rush. I’ll wait till you’re done,” Zach insisted, sitting down and casually picking up her phone. He installed a new
app and added, “This will update you on new products. Order them directly and I’ll have it
delivered.”
“With no chance to go out, delivery seems pointless. The house is cluttered and I’ve had servants clear
out some clothes,” Madelyn responded.

Zach, noting her subdued behavior, stroked her now longer hair and said, “Only the best for you, Mrs.
Jardin.”
“Join me at a company banquet tonight. Many former Azure Corporation employees who know you will be
there,” he added.
Madelyn, finding the soup tasteless, protested, “There’ll be too many people. I don’t want to go.”
Zach insisted, “You have to adapt to such social situations.”
After finishing the soup, Madelyn stood up, patting his cheek playfully, “It’ll depend on my mood. Now, off
you go.”
Zach, amused by her growing boldness, smiled as he left.
