Zach opened the front passenger door and saw that Madelyn was still standing still. She asked, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?" Madelyn hesitated and did not want to get into the car.
Zach responded, "Any Jent family's affairs aren't to be taken lightly. The news that Father is seriously ill can't be leaked out to the public at all. Don't expect any outsiders to come.

After the engagement banquet, Madelyn had not seen Zach. Although he had been relieved of his position, he still looked extremely calm.
"Don't waste time. Get in the car!" Zach's attitude changed very quickly. He squinted to warn her.
Madelyn was cautious of him, but she still got into the car in the end.
Zach walked toward her. She knew about his intentions. She took a step ahead and fastened her seatbelt, "I can do it myself." He had a mysterious smile as he lifted a strand of her hair with his finger, "You got a haircut?" Madelyn pretended to be calm and looked away. She casually replied, "It was too long, so | had it cut.” Actually, she did not have her hair cut much. Only the ends of her hair had been cut as they had been a little dry and damaged due to the weather. She was surprised that Zach paid so close attention to it.
The more he reacted this way, the more uneasy Madelyn felt.

Madelyn moved his hand away, "You're being a bit too controlling. This is my own hair. You should start driving." "Sure." Zach smiled. He glanced at the silver-white ring on her slender, fair hand. His gaze was extremely intense.
He suppressed his emotions and quickly left the airport by driving his car.
There were not many people going and leaving the airport. Madelyn still had not adjusted to the time difference in Ventropolis yet. She was still feeling wide awake throughout the journey. She watched the trees as the car moved forward quickly. She suddenly said, "Father has always emphasized good health. He doesn't smoke or drink. How did he fall so ill?" Zach asked, "Are you suspecting me?" Madelyn responded, "Zach, you don't need to beat around the bush with me. | know you're behind this, but I've never understood why. He's already passed the Azure Corporation to you long ago, so why won't you spare him? He values you more than me. | can't think of any other reason for you to hurt him." She thought, 'In this lifetime, Jadie is still alive. If in the previous life, Jadie's death was the reason for Zach going against the Jent family, what about this time? “Jadie is clearly doing well, and | changed both Ethan's and Jadie's fates. Logically, there's no reason for Zach to act this way." She had not understood it in her previous life. and even in this life, still did not understand why Zach would do all of this.
He drove the car into a secluded side road. There were no surveillance cameras. It was hidden perfectly in the shadows too.
Even oncoming vehicles with their high beams on would not easily spot them.
He stopped the car and said, "Madelyn, don't you understand yet? "If I said | did all of this for you..." Upon hearing that, Madelyn could not help but find it absurd. She almost wanted to laugh as she scoffed, "You don't need to say these sweet nothings to me. You've never done anything for anyone except yourself. Do you really think I'd believe what you're saying? | don't need you to do anything for me now. You have Jadie and Yvonne..."
