Chapter 1057

Kevin looked at Madelyn intently, his eyes holding back his thoughts. He stood up, staying quiet. He never really thought of Madelyn as Mrs. Jardin.

Kevin was just following Zach’s orders, even though he did not really want to. In a different time, Kevin could have been Zach’s devoted general, unwavering in war.

Perceptive to Kevin’s feelings, Madelyn addressed him, “Mr. Harrison, your look says it all. I know you disapprove of me. I overheard part of your conversation. You and Zach are using women as pawns for your ambitions. Isn’t that akin to exploitation?”

Her voice chilled as she continued, “Whether or not you have genuine feelings for Blake, I advise you to keep your distance. It’s not about suitability; it’s about worthiness. You don’t measure up to someone like Liam.”

“Don’t repeat Zach’s mistakes,” she warned, sounding protective, almost maternal.

Before leaving his office, she added, “I’ll discuss Blake’s situation with Zach. After all, he listens to everything I say now.”

Kevin’s expression darkened. Madelyn’s words struck a nerve, underscoring his insecurities about his position and worth.

“Can you believe it? What’s Blake’s background that even Mrs. Jardin came to support her? This is unbelievable.”

“Oh no, what should we do? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said those things. My job is at stake now.”

“Is it too late to apologize to Blake now?”

Madelyn eventually found Blake in a convenience store, seeking solace in a sandwich. She had stopped to buy some medicine for Blake.

“Only sandwiches? Aren’t you paid well enough?” Madelyn asked gently.

Startled, Blake looked up, “Madelyn? What brings you here?”

“I came with Zach to address some issues at the company. I was about to head back.” Madelyn responded. “Trouble at work?”

Blake hesitated before responding, “Just tired of people talking behind my back. It led to a fight.”

“You remind me of myself at your age,” Madelyn remarked.

Blake, surprised, said, “I can’t picture you fighting, Madelyn. You’re always so calm.”

As Madelyn applied medicine to Blake’s wounds, she reflected, “People change. Standing up for yourself was the right thing. Now, they won’t dare to mess with you again.”

“I heard your argument with Kevin, and I think I know what his motives are,” Madelyn confessed.

Blake winced under the sting of the medicine, “What do you mean, Madelyn?”
