Chapter 974
Madelyn realized it was Zach holding her in his arms. His feverish body temperature was alarmingly high. He was
still unwell, yet he insisted on staying with her.
As Madelyn looked up at Zach’s handsome face, she remembered how she used to love him so dearly. She thought,
‘Zach, why did you hate me so much in the previous life? Is it because I had hurt Jadie? But I had atoned for that

Cecilia was in a frenzy, trembling as she looked at the announcement on the company’s social media account and
the glaring marriage certificate on her phone. She could not believe Zach had married Madelyn.
“I was the one who helped you build Jardin Corporation, who pushed you to become CEO, who led you to your
success. I should have been the one you married! How could you marry someone else?!” Cecilia grumbled as she
was on the verge of a breakdown.
A middle-aged man emerged from the bathroom. He was tying his bathrobe when he noticed Cecilia’s meltdown.

Cecilia quickly composed herself, but her eyes still blazed with fury. She said, “I just can’t stand the thought of him

The man seemed to possess inexhaustible energy. His hand slid inside Cecilia’s bathrobe, grasping a soft spot
before swiftly pulling her into his embrace and sitting her on his lap. He said, “No need to rush. This is just the

Cecilia cupped the man’s face and asked, “So, you’ll do it?”
“Of course.”
Cecilia put down her phone and instantly smiled. She began to respond to the man’s teasing touches, moving in

marriage to Madelyn was a public spectacle.

and Madelyn’s wedding date. Some paparazzi had even camped outside the company. The spectacle was almost

while managing other decisions on his own at the same time.
“Blake, get me coffee,” Kevin called out, momentarily forgetting that the chatty woman had left with Zach, Kevin
had missed Blake’s constant chatter, which had become a familiar background noise.
