Ethan's temper blazed. He sped to school, jamming the gas pedal down with every ounce of his vexation.
Madelyn was baffled by the sudden shift in his demeanor. The air in the car was thick with tension.

As she walked further away, Ethan's eyes followed, seething with anger and jealousy. "How could she betray me like this? Should | even consider forgiving her? How am | expected to just overlook this and go on? Despite everything, my love for her is undeniable, yet she's deceived me more times than | care to count,’ he pondered.
In a fit of frustration, Ethan's hand crashed against the car window. The impact was so forceful that the skin at the base of his fingers split open, letting a few drops of blood escape.
For what felt like an eternity, Ethan's car stood idle at the school's entrance. Inside, he grappled with his tumultuous emotions, trying to calm the internal tempest. Clasped in his hand was a ring, Before long, Ethan received a call from Leyton, who sounded hesitant, "Mr. Arnold, I've found what you asked for." Ethan's eyes darkened, "Speak." "Miss Jent... indeed had an intimate relationship with Zach. We traced his spending, and he bought quite a lot of... lingerie at a lingerie store, all in her size. When she went missing, she spent most of her time with Zach. Street cameras also captured him entering the apartment she rented.

Leyton was shaken by the revelations. 'l never would've imagined Madelyn to be so duplicitous. She's played her part masterfully." Indeed, Madelyn's past wasn't spotless. She had a reputation: preying on the vulnerable, frequent visits to bars and nightclubs, and undertaking audacious acts, mostly for Zach.
Leyton took it upon himself to validate these claims meticulously. But to his astonishment, the evidence was genuine.
Back in the day, Madelyn often played truant to hover around Azure Corporation, clinging to Zach. She had even once brazenly claimed to be his girlfriend in public. But Zach showed no signs of reciprocating her feelings; it was Madelyn who was always on the chase.
Within Azure Corporation, any female employee who displayed even a hint of allure would find themselves out of a job, courtesy of a mere whisper from Madelyn. And if they resisted? Madelyn would ensure they faced public ridicule until their morale crumbled, forcing them to resign. This wasn't some secret; every member of Azure Corporation was aware of the extent of their boss's daughter's obsession with Zach.
Leyton pondered, ‘Mr. Amold never dug deeper into her actions in the past, all because he had faith in her.’
