Female Novel
Chapter 502
Everyone was stuck in their own thoughts throughout the meal. Evelyn left the feast early after eating a
bit. Ethan had drunk a lot of alcohol with Hayson.
Since Madelyn accepted the gift, she felt suffocated. She did not know why she was not as happy as
she had expected. She still could not figure out the reason behind it. Maybe... she had been too hasty
with this decision.
Jadie put down her cutlery and said, "I'm full, Zach."
Zach took her bowl and poured some soup into it before saying, "Drink some soup to avoid getting
hungry again at night."
Jadie nodded, "Okay."
Madelyn sat not far away from them. A hand holding a bowl of soup stretched before her, "The soup is
good. Try it."
Madelyn raised her head and looked at Zach. Her heart started racing as she thanked him, "Thank
you... brother."
"Mhm," Zach smiled, but Madelyn could see the rage in his eyes. This made her anxious.
Perhaps Ethan was in a good mood; he proceeded to hug Madelyn. He then declared his ownership
over her, "This soup is sweet; she doesn't like sweet soups. How can you not know this?"
With just a sentence, the smell of conflict started to emanate.
"Ethan, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you to your room so you can rest, okay?" Madelyn
asked.novelbin
Zach was a dark, selfish, and vengeful man. He was most adept at using underhanded tactics. He had
planned for the downfall of the Arnold family in her past life. Hence, he was able to gain complete
control of the Arnold Corporation. Although Madelyn did not know how he did it, she did not want that
tragedy to happen again. She was sure Zach had planned the truck incident that almost caused their
accident. Even though he was not as powerful as the Arnold family, he could still easily bring them
down regardless of their position.
Zach said indifferently, "Really? It seems Madelyn hasn't been home for quite some time. I've almost
forgotten what she likes to eat."
"Logically speaking, Madelyn should call you her brother, and I should call you my brother, too.
However, since you're not a Jent, I see no need for that. Though, I will drink a toast to your long-
standing relationship with Madelyn," Ethan said.
Ethan signaled the servant by his side, and they instantly poured a cup to Zach. Jadie held Zach's arm
worriedly and advised him, "Zach, you can't drink since you still need to drive."
Hayson saw what Jadie did and furrowed his brows. In the end, he did not say anything. Ethan
continued, "It's just a glass. If Mr. Jardin can't stomach his alcohol, we have chauffeurs at the Arnold
residence. They can send you home. You can even stay for the night."
Their gazes met, and the sense of conflict grew stronger. Madelyn swiftly stood up and said, "Ethan,
you can't drink anymore. Did you forget about what the doctor said? Your injuries have yet to heal. I'll
get worried if it gets infected again."
Ethan turned to Madelyn and stared at her. His gaze was drunken yet full of love. He smiled and
replied, "Alright, as you wish.
"There is another matter; it's about the clauses offered regarding the merger between the Arnold
Corporation and the Azure Corporation. I think Mr. Jardin would best consider it since not just any
company is worthy of working with the Arnold Corporation!" Ethan added.
