“Can I make a quick phone call!” Sharon asked. She could feel her scalp prickling and an uneasy sensation began creeping over her. “Mr. Perry, are you sure! Even if this gem is real, it couldn’t possibly be the Heart of Snow! That one’s in the capital

Dhillon frowned, studying Sharon carefully. I’m not mistaken. I know this gem–it’s definitely the Heart of Snow.” Turning to Gavin, he bowed slightly and added, “You must be on very good terms with someone important. No one would part with such a treasure easily.”

Concerned that he might have overstepped, Dillon quickly excused himself, wanting to make a call and verify how the gem had ended up here in Acocesser. “This young man’s background must be nothing short of extraordinary, he thought, picking up his pace.

Bryan and Charles both let out a sigh of relief, “Hahaha.. I knew it the latter boomed, laughing heartily. “How could Mr. Newston ever give something fake? He really treasures you, Ms. Larsen. Giving you such a priceless gem

“Exactly” Bryan added. “I’d love to see the faces of the people who doubted it now. Bet they’re burning

z with shame.”

“My guess is they’ve never laid eyes on a gem that valuable in their lives. Pathetic, Bryan continued, casting a glance at Sharon. Then, pointing directly at her, he said, “A deal’s a deal. Go clean Mr. Newton’s toilet like we agreed”

Layla swallowed hard, greedily eyeing the gem that was worth 16 million dollars. She sighed in awe. This is the first time I’ expensive sapphire. Madeline, you’re incredibly lucky.”

Winslet, however, couldn’t hide the bitterness twisting her expression, She felt utterly humiliated as Maileline once again stood in the spotlight. Why! How does she get so lucky every single time! Winslet seethed internally

Trying to provoke Sharon, Winslet mustered, “Looks like you were wrong, Aunt Sharon, Maddie’s got some serious backing. No wonder she’s always so confident

Sharon’s eyes burned with anger and humiliation. Before she could fully react. Madeline, weary of the entire situation, stood up. “You lost.” Madeline said, her voice firm as she locked eyes with Sharon: Disappointed you didn’t get the answer you wanted?”

Without warning. Sharon lunged at Madeline and slapped her across the face.

Smack!

The slap echoed through the room, leaving everyone stunned. But in a way, it wasn’t surprising. The Larson family had always treated Madeline as if she were nothing, someone they could hit without consequence

“Don’t get so full of yourself! Sharon snarled, her eyes bloodshot and furious. She gritted her teeth, glaring at Madeline with disdain. I’m heading back to the capital. And as for our bet.. What are you going to do? You’re just a nobody. How dare you flaunt yourself in front of me?”

Gavin’s expression remained cold as he stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Madeline. His eyes darkened as he looked at her red, swollen check, rage simmering beneath his calm exterior

Without saying a word, he gently cupped Madeline’s face, his thumb brushing the spot where she’d been struck. Regret gnawed at him for not stopping Sharon sooner. “Does it hurt?” he asked sofily.

Madeline covered her check, shaking her head. “No, it’s fine”

Gavin turned toward Sharon, his gaze icy as if he were looking at a corpse. A chill ran down Sharon’s spine as she realized the intensity of his rage. She gritted her teeth, grabbed her bag, and stormed out. Layla hurried after Sharon, desperate to make amends, but Sharon her pride shattered. was indifferent.

Meanwhile, Gavin stood silently by Madeline’s side. Overwhelmed with guilt, he didn’t utter a word of rebuke to Sharon. He frowned, heartbroken that this had happened to Madeline. At that moment, he vowed never to leave her side again.

Harley, watching from a distance, felt a chill run through him. Knowing Gavin’s vengeful nature, he feared for Sharon. The calmer Gavin appeared, the more dangerous he became. “What’s in store for Sharon? Harley wondered, lowering his head and remaining silent.

Sharon stormed out of the Larson residence and into her small white car. Layla followed, calling after her, “Shuron, wait”

Sharon turned and snapped, “Don’t bother asking me to stay. I won’t take my anger out on you, but don’t expect any favors from me in the future” She glared at Layla, adding “You raised quite the daughter”

Layla stood at the gates, tears brimning as she cursed silently, I never raised hert Madeline’s like a wild weed in the garden” “Sharon” Layla yelled, but Sharon’s car had already sped off

It was a sport aftemoon, will no cars annual Everyone watched as Sharon’s car drove down the deserted road. Madeline stood with her arms crossed, bet face calm Sharm would undoubtedly hold a grudge against the Larson family, but in Madeline, it didn’t muster.

Then, suddenly, a horrifying crash echoed through the street. At the intersection, Sharon’s car had been hit by a massive truck that had lost control. “Ahh Layla screamed, covering her mouth and stumbling back, her eyes wide with terror.

Screech!

“Help! Someone save her!”

“Oh, my goodness! What happened?”

“Call an ambulance!

Madeline stood frozen, her wide eyes glued to the scene. Amid the commotion, a soft sound caught her attention.

Click!

She turned to see Gavin lighting a cigarette. His long fingers held it delicately as smoke curled around his face. His expression was frighteningly dark, and a low chuckle escaped his lips. His gaze was cold and lethal, like an emotionless predator.

Gavin rarely smoked, especially given his work in labs where it posed too many risks. But when he did, it was always a bad sign. Madeline’s face paled, a shiver running down her spine. “Gavin… was that your doing?” she asked, her voice trembling.

“Yeah,” Gavin replied, licking his teeth. “Anyone who bullies you doesn’t get to walk away. I’m sending her to hell so she can’t hurt you again.”

Madeline shook her head, remembering the first time she saw him on a mission. His hands had been stained with blood, his gaze cold as death. He had looked back at her across a field of corpses. That same terrifying look was back. Even now, it haunted her. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Madeline wished more than anything that Gavin could live a normal life, free from the darkness that consumed him, and somehow find salvation. ‘After everything.. why repeat the same mistakes? she thought.

“Gavin, you can’t let her die, Madeline mumbled, taking a deep breath. Then, she spun around and ran toward the crash scene.

Before she could get far, Gavin’s strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back into his chest. “Don’t,” Gavin ordered, gripping her chin to force her to look at the wreckage “Let’s watch her die. Together”

His voice lowered as he whispered into her ear, “How dare that bitch lay a hand on you! I promised to protect you, and I’m not going back on Shrill screams echoed through the streets. “It’s going to explode!”

Madeline’s eyes welled up with tears as she watched the fire rage. “Gavin, I can’t-”

“Maddie, mercy for your enemy only brings suffering to yourself, Gavin cut her off, his tone firm.

Madeline turned to meet his eyes, her lashes fluttering in fear. “I can’t let your hands get stained with blood for me again. She’s not worth it.” With a loud boom, the car exploded, flames shooting high into the sky. Gavin’s gaze flickered momentarily before he pulled Madeline close, pressing her head into his chest as she trembled in fear. His arms wrapped tightly around her, shielding her from the destruction behind them. Gavin had made it clear the moment they reunited–he had never changed. He was still the same ruthless man she had known from the matter how much he tried to hide it.

Gavin’s lips curled into a cold, cruel smile as he stroked Madeline’s back softly. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” he murmured, his eyes burning with an untamable fire. A fire that would consume everything in its path.
