Female Novel
Chapter 665
Zach and Yvonne's engagement party was low-key. While it did make it to the newspapers, the news
was quickly overshadowed by stories of several companies going bankrupt.
After securing the funds, Zach bought major real estate properties, financial securities, and struggling
businesses. Once the economy improved, he revamped these companies under the banner of Jardin
Corporation. In just three years, Jardin went public, its stock value soaring beyond that of the once-
thriving Arnold Corporation. With the success, Zach's initial $1.5 billion grew more than tenfold, making
him a prominent figure in Ventropolis.
Once Yvonne arrived in France, Madelyn had this nagging feeling something was amiss, 'This is just
ridiculous! Why is he seeking me out if he's already tied to Yvonne in this life? How different am I now
from Cecilia in our past life? Am I just here to stir up trouble? Yvonne's just like how I remember her
being in that previous life—lost and hurt.'
She quickly went to her room. As she shut the door, she felt a rush of exhaustion, her whole body
shaking, 'Zach never changes, not even from one life to the next.' The sound of loud voices arguing
from below reached her ears. Desperate for peace, she covered them, trying to block out the noise.
'This relationship feels so wrong!' After a while, she recognized the sound of his footsteps in the
corridor. Thankfully, she had locked her door, ensuring he could not enter.
Knock, knock, knock.
Pushing herself up with the bed's help, Madelyn stood. She hurled a decorative piece at the door in her
anger, "Go away! I don't want to see you!"
A dent appeared on the door from the impact. The knocking stopped, but Zach spoke from outside, "It's
just the two of us here. No one else is around."novelbin
Madelyn's breathing quickened, "I don't want to hear it. You're revolting, Zach!" In her mind, the
thoughts raced, 'How did he even start Jardin Corporation under these circumstances? He's set to
marry someone else, so why's he tangling up with me? That "mistress" remark wasn't just for laughs.
Being in this place with him is suffocating. I never planned to come between two people, but here I am,
right in the thick of it. How did I end up in this mess?' She felt her heart pounding, the weight of the
situation pressing down on her.
A maid came upstairs, presenting a tray, "Sir, dinner's ready."
Zach shot the maid a cold glance, "Where's the key to this room?"
Stumbling over his words, the maid replied, "The lady usually handles the keys. I don't know where she
placed it."
With growing frustration, Zach slapped the tray from the maid's hands, "Then find it! Can't anyone here
think for themselves?"
Clearly frightened, the maid nodded, "Of course, sir... I'll search for it right now."
After searching for half an hour, the maid found the key hidden beneath the TV wall mount. Zach
hurriedly unlocked the door, only to discover Madelyn unconscious on the floor.
"Madelyn!" he exclaimed.
Zach gently picked her up and settled her onto the bed without wasting any moment. "Bring some fruit
juice," he ordered.
"Right away, sir," the maid responded, rushing to get it. When she returned, it became clear that
Madelyn's fainting spell was not due to an illness but low blood sugar.
Tossing a stern look at the spilled meal, Zach said, "Get rid of this food and prepare a new meal, just
the way we usually have it."
