Chapter 554

Madelyn said, "Brother..."

Zach's curvy upper body muscles were sexy. The droplets of his sweat glided down his arms. The next

moment, he bent down forcefully the next moment and pressed his body against hers. She did not

even have the chance to catch her breath.

Madelyn felt a sharp pain and was briefly lucid for a few seconds. Her soft lips were covered. Her voice

was suppressed within her throat.

When the sharp pain faded, Madelyn changed her moaning sound to cries for mercy.

They went from the bed to the floor, then to the bathroom, and finally to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The entire room was filled with an atmosphere of sensuousness.

During the time that had passed, Madelyn drifted in and out of consciousness countless times.

At three in the morning, the room gradually quieted down. Madelyn was completely unconscious,

sleeping in Zach's embrace.

The phone at the bedside displayed an incoming call from Ethan. Zach just faintly glanced at it. He then

threw away the cigarette butt and let the phone continue ringing...

...

At the Arnold residence, it was dark outside the window. Evelyn was lying on the bed, looking unwell,

"Do you know that Madelyn can't conceive?"

Ethan did not deny it, "I do. So what? Madelyn is already chosen as the daughter-in-law of the Arnold

family. This will never change, regardless of her condition. It doesn't matter if she can conceive or not."

Upon hearing his reply, Evelyn was overwhelmed and felt suffocated. Her face turned pale as she

spoke emotionally, "You little brat. Do you know how crucial an heir is to the Arnold family? When that

woman was pregnant with you, I was the person who saved you. My actions back then ensured the

continuation of the family's bloodline. Because of that, everything the Arnold family has could be

passed down."

Ethan sneered, "So? Did you do all of this just to keep the Arnold Corporation? If so, you shouldn't

have let me be born. Wouldn't it be better to let that illegitimate child inherit everything?

"I'll say it again: Madelyn's status won't change. Whether or not she can bear children, she'll always be

my wife."

Evelyn responded, "Are you trying to infuriate me?!" She then coughed intensely.

Marta quickly advised, "Mr. Arnold, please don't anger her any further. She has her reasons for saying

that. The Arnold family has had a century-old legacy in Ventropolis. The family business has always

been passed down. The Arnold family needs an heir to inherit the company after your generation.

"You do know how important bloodline is to the Arnold family. Mr. Arnold Sr. used to love you the most.

You wouldn't want to see the Arnold family without an heir in the end."

Evelyn sighed, 'I know him well. He's stubborn and doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten into that situation back then.'

She said, "Okay! Considering the past, Madelyn will be your wife. But! I want an heir with your

bloodline. No matter which woman you have a child with, as long as the child belongs to the Arnold

family, I will not stop you from being with Madelyn.

"After the child is born, Madelyn can raise the child. This is the only requirement I have for you. If you

can't even do this, I'll commit suicide."novelbin

Ethan lifted his eyes, and a hint of harshness flashed upon them, "Do you have to threaten me like

this?"

Evelyn raised her voice, "This is the only way. Only by doing this can Madelyn become the rightful

daughter-in-law of our family.

"Don't forget that you two were only engaged yesterday. You two still haven't gotten married yet. If my

demand isn't met, she can't marry into our family."

Upon seeing him remain silent, Evelyn thought Ethan might have been convinced. She softened her

voice as she continued, "Madelyn is indeed great. She's talented and beautiful. I really like her. But to

continue the Arnold family's lineage, I'll absolutely not give in!

"You should think carefully. Is the Arnold Corporation more important, or will you abandon our family

and your grandmother for her?"
