Chapter 492

Ethan’s decision to have Donna arrested happened quickly. Donna put up a big fight as the police took her away, screaming and struggling with the officers. But despite her efforts, Donna couldn’t escape. They handcuffed her and took her straight to the police station.

Leyton got back to Ethan within an hour.

Arnold Corporation soon released an official statement: [Regarding Donna Jolie’s statements in today’s live broadcast, our investigation has confirmed them to be untrue. We ask everyone to be cautious. Any further attempts to spread false–information about Arnold Corporation will face legal action, and those responsible will be held accountable for any harm caused to the company.

Legal steps have already been taken in response to today’s false claims against Arnold Corporation’s CEO.]

The statement also announced the engagement of Ethan Arnold, the CEO of Arnold Corporation, to Madelyn Jent, the daughter of the Jent family. Their engagement party was set for June 12th at the Supreme World.

This official statement calmed things down quickly, and people had various reactions.

Some folks were suspicious, thinking there might be more to the story.

Madelyn spent the whole day in the school art studio. She was the last to hear about the news and didn’t expect so much to happen on this particular day.

In the car, Ethan asked her, “What do you want to eat tonight? Should we go to ‘The Deli‘ or have some Jonirian food?”

“Let’s eat at home. I need to study tonight,” Madelyn replied.

Ethan noticed Madelyn’s low spirits and reached over to pull her closer. He ran his fingers through her hair and, with a slight tilt of his head and a faint smile, asked, “What’s wrong? Not-

feeling happy?”

Madelyn gazed out of the car window without looking at him. “I saw that statement: Why don’t you tell the truth?”

“Just for that?” Ethan smiled faintly, his true feelings hidden deep in his eyes. He said, “To avoid unnecessary trouble. Those things are in the past, and there’s no point in bringing them up again.

Plus, I don’t want it to affect your mood, especially with exams coming up. Focus on your studies for the next two months. Whether you pass or not, I respect your choice.”

Madelyn asked, “Just because of that?”

‘He could clear up everything about Donna with just one sentence. How can he act like nothing Ethan gently brushed his finger against her nose. “What else could it be?” He took a deep breath, thinking. “Don’t overthink it, okay?”

“If you want to go home, let’s go home. Besides, I’ve recently learned a few new dishes. I can make something for you to try,” Madelyn said, her earlier concerns replaced by curiosity.

“When did you learn to cook?” she asked.

“It’s been a while,” Ethan replied. “Is there anything specific you’d like to eat?”

“I’m good with anything. I’ll help you later,” Madelyn offered.

Ethan smiled and nodded, “Alright.”

Back at the Arnold residence, they both got to work on preparing dinner. Ethan was wearing a cute lace apron, a far cry from his usual appearance.
