Chapter 942

Madelyn had yet to see Zach standing outside with a sullen expression.

“The woman sitting downstairs might be the future lady of the Southern Haven Villas. Besides, I am your employer, and you are my employee. You will just do what you are paid for. There is no need to care for my affairs. Just do what you’re supposed to do!” Madelyn shouted.

This time, Margaret had crossed the line. She did not know what it felt like to be poisoned by someone you were close to. Having learned the lesson, Madelyn would not repeat it. It was Zach and Rosario who gave her that valuable lesson. Now, she would rather end up alone than be betrayed by someone else.

“Why are you making such a big ruckus in the morning!” Zach’s cold voice suddenly rang. This made Margaret jump while Madelyn reacted calmly. However, she could not hide the disgust in her eyes when she stared at Zach.

Cecilia spoke softly behind Zach, “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Zach nodded. Madelyn met with Cecilia’s provoking stare as she left with her arms crossed. When she noticed Cecilia was not wearing the clothes from the night before, Madelyn’s expression toward Zach grew more disgusted.

Madelyn retracted her gaze and ordered, “Margaret, bring Dalton to the drawing room.”

“Yes, Ms. Jent,” Margaret obliged. She quickly clothed Dalton and brought him away. Then, Madelyn lowered her gaze and hid her face. Had Zach not heard the emotion in her voice, he would have assumed she did not care.

Zach was dressed in loose black pajamas. He moved his hand to feel her forehead when she met his gaze. She made no attempt to hide her feelings and turned her head away to avoid his touch. Zach’s hand was left suspended in the air. He paused before balling his fists.

“She had no other intentions when she came to our home. I can’t refuse these social events since Kevin is busy with other matters at the company. That’s why I drank a little too much last night. She slept in the guest room last night, and I did nothing with her. If you don’t like it, I won’t let her come ever again.”

Zach continued, “Margaret has been by your side for a very long tirne. I can make her leave if you’re still not used to her. You can discuss anything with me. Don’t ball it up yourself; it’s not good for your health.”

He saw the ring placed on the drawer and furrowed his brows in displeasure. He wanted to help her put it on, but Madelyn swatted the ring away. The ring fell and made a loud noise.

Madelyn ignored Zach’s cold stare and said, “It’s such a shame you don’t have any memories of your past think you’re as filthy and disgusting as you were in your previous life!”

Madelyn looked away from him and demanded, “Please leave. I want to rest.”

Zach did not budge. Instead, he picked up the ring and stared at Madelyn. He asked, “I heard from the servants that you met with a member of the Harper family?”

Madelyn subconsciously gripped the edge of her sheets and rebuked, “It’s none of your business.”

Zach placed the ring back in the drawer and said, “Is asking for my help that difficult? Madelyn, as long as you ask, I will help you get rid of any problem.”

Madelyn refused him outright, “Problem? Aren’t you the biggest problem? You were colluding with Fred while Mya was still in his hands. You could’ve saved her. Yet, what have you done up until now?

“I know you’re just forcing me to compromise! But what made you think I would give in? What made you think that I can only turn to you for help? The more you use Mya to threaten me, the more I won’t let you succeed,” Madelyn said defiantly.
