NovelEnglishThen, Madelyn went to a shopping mall on the iconic street of Boulevard Haussmann of France. She had previously worked there as a saleswoman, although only for a few days.
The hotel got them a car, and a driver took Madelyn and the bodyguards there.
Inside the mall, Madelyn pretended to take a few pieces of clothes. The bodyguards took photos of her, and she figured that they were probably reporting her whereabouts to Zach.
After that, Madelyn went into a lingerie store and made several purchases.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile sitting in the car, Zach felt his phone vibrating. He took it out and saw a notification of a deduction from his account balance. Then, he casually turned off the screen and put it back into his pocket. Madelyn had just spent several hundred thousand dollars in one go with his card, yet he did not seem to care at all.
Kevin reported to him, "Ms. Samford will arrive at the airport around nine-thirty at night." "Hm," Zach responded nonchalantly.
"Are we still going to bring Ms. Samford along to the charity gala the day after tomorrow?" "Is the dress ready yet?" Zach asked with his eyes closed.
"No, Mr. Jardin. We still need to confirm the size and the clothing company will personally select a design before delivering it to the hotel.” "Okay." Zach entered the meeting room. It was a subsidiary of the company overseas, and the executives were giving a presentation in front. The meeting would commence in an hour.
Outside the meeting room, Kevin received a call from one of the bodyguards.
Though the news he heard was not entirely surprising, he still furrowed his brow.
Kevin walked over to the person sitting in the middle of the meeting table and whispered to Zach about how Madelyn had managed to escape from the bodyguards in the mall.
Indeed, it was not shocking that she would try to escape.
But there was no turning back for her now...

Lila saw Madelyn coming back to the apartment and she asked frantically, "Madelyn, who were those people? Why did they take you away?" Madelyn did not have time to explain everything to her, so she made it brief, "Lila, they're not good people. You need to pack your things and go back to your hometown for a while, or go to the cafe if you want. I'm sorry... | don't want you to get involved in this. | can't explain everything to you right now, but you've got to listen to me." Lila realized the urgency of the situation. She quickly went back to her room to pack, wanting to leave with Madelyn.
When Madelyn was packing in her room, she noticed that someone had moved her diary on the table. She knew that someone had been in her room! In the next moment, something else seemed to have struck her. She immediately rushed over to the suitcase under her bed, but when she opened it...
