"Stop playing around,” Zach said as he grabbed her hand.

Their conversation was not loud, but Jadie could faintly hear some of it. Right before he closed the door, Jadie heard Yvonne's name.
Hayson said, "This is a rare opportunity for you, a chance for you to build your network in the business circle. There's no harm in going to Avalon for management training. You don't have to worry about your position. I've already arranged everything." Zach asked, "Is this your decision or the Young family's?" Hayson responded, "She's the future heir of the Young family, and you're my son. I'll always prioritize your development over Madelyn's. | hope you won't waste my efforts. This decision is final. After Madelyn gets engaged to the Arnold family, you'll go to Avalon with Yvonne for training for six months before returning. I'll hand your work matters over to Kevin temporarily. He's your confidant and has been with you for so many years, so | trust him." Zach replied, "I understand. I'll consider this." Hayson said, "You should also consider your own future and make preparations. Interact with Yvonne more. There's no harm in receiving the cooperation of both the Arnold and Young families. If you want to establish yourself in the business world, you must do this. Stop focusing on irrelevant people. If you can't handle it, I'll help you clear the obstacles around you." Zach responded, "Okay." A mysterious glint flashed past Zach's eyes. After Hayson ended the call, Zach put his phone away.
He then walked back into the ward. Jadie looked hurt and sad as she stared at him, "So, you're leaving me too? You got together with Yvonne after you couldn't have Madelyn! Zach, you promised me that you wouldn't fall for someone else.” Zach did not know how much she had heard. There was not much expression on his face. He said, "We'll talk about this in the future." "You're going to marry Yvonne, right? For your position of authority!" Jadie's tone began to show stress. She was agitated, causing blood to flow into the IV tube.

You went to find her last night, right? Whenever we stayed at the Jent residence, | could hear you going upstairs. And you always spent the night there. Did you think | didn't know? You thought you could hide this from everyone, but you couldn't! Do you know how much | had to endure it every time you went to see her? "I'm scared! Zach! I'm really scared! I'm afraid you'll find me dirty. I'm afraid you'll not want me anymore. | hate myself. Why do | have to remember being inhumanly humiliated and tortured by those three men?! "In my most helpless moment, | kept calling your name. | wished so much that you'd appear, appear in front of me..." Jadie could not hold back her tears any longer. She cried out loud.
Zach hugged her and comforted her, "I've never thought about abandoning you. Jadie, | won't leave you." Jadie responded, "Then promise me you won't look for Madelyn anymore, and don't leave me for Yvonne, okay?" Zach's tone became heavier, "Okay." Kai happened to see this touching scene at the door. When he saw a nurse walking toward him, he put his finger in front of his lips signaling her to keep quiet.
Kai was lost in his thoughts, "This monster is better at comforting women than me. Will he really move on from Madelyn? He knows he's related to Madelyn, and yet he has feelings for her. How is it possible for him to just let go of those feelings? ‘I've told him so many times, one must hide their weak points properly! Once one shows vulnerability, they can be easily manipulated, even when in a position of power. With these weaknesses, there'll always be dangerous risks. Ethan is the best example.’
