Chapter 500

Leaving his office, Zach and Kevin headed to the meeting room. Around six-thirty in the evening, Madelyn didn’t wear fancy clothes. She wore a matching outfit with Ethan, which he had picked out for them.

When Hayson and Jasmine arrived, Jasmine kindly held Madelyn’s hand and they walked into the hall, saying, ” I can’t believe you’re getting engaged so soon. I don’t have anything special to give you. If you don’t mind, take this bracelet. I bought it just for you.”

“Thank you, Jasmine,” Madelyn replied, not wanting to say no, though she still felt a bit uneasy about it.

Jasmine put the bracelet on Madelyn’s wrist. It was see-through and fancy, definitely expensive. The bracelet was clear and translucent. It was undoubtedly expensive.

In her mind, Madelyn thought, ‘Father must’ve bought it for Jasmine. Now that she’s carrying the Jent family heir, Father’s spoiling her, and she can buy anything she wants.’

Jasmine was wearing a tight dark green dress today, looking very classy. Her baby bump was easy to see.

Hayson and Ethan went into the study, and Madelyn couldn’t hear what they were talking about. When they came out, it was time for the banquet.

Hayson laughed heartily from upstairs, “Hahaha… Ethan, I trust Madelyn with you completely. I’ve spoiled her since she was little. If she ever acts like a child, I’ll leave it to you to take care of her.”

“Sure thing, Hayson.”

The two on the couch got up, and Madelyn walked over to Ethan. “Is everything ready?”

Ethan took Madelyn’s hand and nodded. “Yep.”

“What did you guys chat about?”

Ethan leaned in and whispered in her ear, “I’ll fill you in tonight.” Jasmine teased, “Oh, whispering secrets now, are we? Is there something you’re hiding from us?”

Madelyn blushed at just one word. “We didn’t talk about anything.” Ethan added, “Let’s take our seats.

“George, where’s Evelyn?” Madelyn asked.

George replied, “She’s on her way, should be here soon.” This time, Hayson took the head seat at the table, with Madelyn and Ethan on the left, and Jasmine on the right.

Jasmine asked, “Oh, Hayson, what about Zach? Has he arrived yet?” Hayson replied, “He should be here soon. There might be some traffic.”

As Zach’s name came up, Ethan’s gaze shifted toward Madelyn, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Under the table, his hand gently squeezed Madelyn’s. “No need to be too nervous.

Madelyn mustered a smile. “I’m not.” She returned the squeeze, her palm feeling a bit sweaty. Just as she finished speaking, a commotion outside caught their attention, and a black Audi pulled up to the entrance.

A servant hurried forward to open the car door, and Zach and Jadie stepped out.
