Chapter 727 All eyes were on Madelyn as she made her faltering exit. No one had expected her to unravel so swiftly. If it were not for Zach shielding her, she might not have made it out at all.

Zach stubbed out his cigarette in frustration. Only when Madelyn’s silhouette disappeared down the corridor did he rise from his seat. He remarked, “I see you haven't lost your fire, Frida Young.” Striding forward, Zach stood before Frida, his dark shadow casting an oppressive pressure over her. “You appear to forget that I'm the one holding all the cards,” he warned. “Every word that escapes your lips jeopardizes Ethan. If something happens to him, don’t think you can blame me.” Frida’s eyes narrowed into a glare. “You wouldn't dare!” Zach retorted, his eyes as chilling as a predator’s, “Why wouldn’t I? Maybe you'll find a body at the Young residence doorstep tomorrow. How would that be?” His menacing presence filled the air.

‘Yvonne looked visibly shaken. “You're a part of our family now. Would you really side against us for an outsider? Where is your heart?” Zach paid Yvonne no mind and continued speaking to Frida. “If you want Ethan to stay safe, offer the Arnold residence as a trade. You have three days to consider it. | keep my word. | expect a satisfactory answer from you. If all you have is an apology, it won't suffice. Otherwise... your son might not live to see another day.” Frida, who was staggering, was steadied by Yvonne. “Zach, she’s my mom, your mother-in-law! How can you speak to her this way?” Not even sparing Yvonne a glance, Zach turned and walked away, taking the stairs to his room. The food on the dinner table sat there, untouched and now cold. All that remained in Madelyn’s bowl was a half-eaten serving of risotto.

As Zach entered his room, Giovanna was startled. “Sir...” Surveying the room, Zach noticed Madelyn’s absence. Then his eyes fell on the closed bathroom door. “Go outside.” Giovanna hesitated but chose to leave quietly, shutting the door behind her. She had been genuinely scared earlier. She had seen Madelyn lose a lot of blood and rush into the bathroom, not coming out since. Respecting Madelyn’s wishes to keep it a secret, Giovanna had not knocked.

Zach knocked on the bathroom door, hearing the sound of a shower running. He said, “Open up.” Inside, Madelyn washed the blood away, turning on the shower to simulate bathing. Ignoring Zach, she closed her eyes, lost in her thoughts that flooded in like a stormy tide.

Minutes later, as the lock on the bathroom door began to turn, Madelyn preemptively opened the door, her face composed as if nothing had har “I was just using the bathroom, no big deal,” Madelyn said calmly, walking past Zach without meeting his eyes.

Madelyn’s emotionless facade, lacking any signs of tears or visible heartbreak, seemed to agitate Zach even more. His eyes landed on an open bottle of pills on the table. Picking it up, he asked, “You're still on these? Are you not well?” With a soft voice, Madelyn replied, “No, they're just vitamin pills. They can be taken anytime. Just put them back in the drawer for me, thank you.” It was late at night. Dalton had obediently finished his bottle of milk and was already dozing off on the bed.
