In the private room, the dishes were all set.Karter undid his cufflinks, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a strong and muscular forearm. "Since you've treated me to a meal, let me handle this task."Madeleine smiled lightly, "Okay, then I won't compete with you."Karter held the forks and dipped the meat into the barbecue. His fingers were slender, and his arm lines were smooth. The way he dipped the meat was pleasing to the eye.Madeleine propped her elbow on the table, resting her cheek on her hand, and asked, "Karter, why did you go abroad in the first place?"Karter's actions did not stop as he lowered his gaze. "You know, my family's financial situation wasn't good. Coincidentally, there was someone who sponsored me to study abroad. It was an opportunity that couldn't be sought after, so I went abroad. I only slept four to five hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent studying, all in order to succeed and return with honor as soon as possible."Madeleine nodded, "It

Makenzie had something come up, so she didn't go with Madeleine. Instead, Madeleine was accompanied by her assistant Ariana.After Madeleine boarded the plane, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket and then put on an eye mask to prepare for sleep.Woodmerrow is a seven-hour flight away from Splin Town. The plane arrived at 1 am, and it would take another half an hour to collect the luggage and go to the hotel.Because Madeleine was in a hurry and there were no good flights, she had to settle for this time.Fortunately, the first-class cabin was very quiet, and combined with the heavy worries she had been carrying these days, she fell asleep before the plane even took off.Ariana has been with Madeleine for two years since the previous assistant resigned due to pregnancy. She still knows Madeleine's temper and preferences quite well.She knew that Madeleine must have been in a very bad mood, which is why she chose this time to leave Woodmerrow.She watched as Madeleine's blanket

Karter repeatedly insisted on not going to the hospital, so Ariana went to the pharmacy and bought disinfectant and anti-inflammatory medicine. They both returned to the hotel together.Karter came with Madeleine, so they stayed in the same hotel but on different floors.The three of them came to Madeleine's room together, and Madeleine applied ointment to Karter."Kristian, that man is really ruthless. Even though you had nothing to do with it, he still insisted on smearing you. Look at how he beat you, your mouth even got a cut."Karter furrowed his brows slightly, "I appeared too coincidentally, so he suspected me, but I don't blame him."Madeleine threw the cotton swab into the trash can and looked at the man, saying earnestly, "Thank you so much just now."Karter chuckled, "If you thank me, would you treat me to lunch?""No problem," Madeleine also smiled.At this moment, Ariana looked anxious and said, "Madeleine, this matter trended on social media today!"Madeleine had already

Karter shook his head upon hearing the words, "Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? I cannot do that."Carl was always worried for him. "She is Madeleine, from the Keller family! If you become a son-in-law of the Keller family, what kind of future wouldn't you have?""It is precisely because she is part of the Keller family that I cannot do this," Karter squinted his eyes. "Madeleine doesn't like me now, she is completely focused on Kristian. If I do this, it will only make her dislike and resent me, pushing her further away. I have finally managed to gain her favor, I cannot risk losing it over something trivial."He whispered, "Will that rider betray you?"Carl replied, "Don't worry, no matter how much they investigate, they won't find anything on me."Karter said, "That's good. I appreciate this."Carl patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, if it weren't for you saving me that year, I would have been killed by those gamblers long ago."Karter chuckled, "Let's not mention t

As the night fell, neon lights flickered outside the hotel window.Kristian looked at the woman in his arms under the warm light, feeling not only physically satisfied but also emotionally fulfilled.He kissed her smooth forehead and felt that it was not enough, so he kissed her lips.Madeleine was already tired, and now her peaceful sleep was disturbed. She turned her head irritably.But the man continued to pester her relentlessly.Madeleine suddenly opened her eyes and raised her hand to block the man's lips.She glanced at him for a full minute.In the end, Kristian couldn't help but remove the woman's delicate hand and asked, "What, are you surprised to see me?"Madeleine said, "I was not surprised."Kristian looked at her glistening red lips and said, "Both times we were together, you were intoxicated. Would you like to experience it while sober?"Madeleine chuckled, "You think I had a good experience?"Kristian squinted his eyes, "Isn't it? Who was it that held onto my neck and
