Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 202
Chapter 202
Being stared at by someone like him, Madeleine felt her skin
crawl with disgust, wanting nothing more than to kick him away.
But with so many people around, and the company already in
turmoil lately, she didn’t want to cause a scene.
“Get lost.”
Madeleine said coldly, her face stern as she prepared to walk
around him.
Not only did Jason not move, he deliberately stepped closer,
lowered his voice, and said ambiguously, “Why play so high and
mighty?
How much does Roderick give you?
Why not consider me?
Just agree to be with me once, and I guarantee I’ll give you
more than he does…”
Madeleine’s eyes turned icy.

A security guard came over just then. “Daquan, do you need
assistance?”
“Yes.”
Madeleine gritted her teeth. “Get him out of here.”
“Understood.”
The guard, naturally, obeyed his boss’s wife. Just as he was
about to politely ask Jason to leave, the receptionist came over.
“Jason, is it?
Mr. Klein is waiting for you upstairs. I can take you up.”
Hearing this, Jason raised an eyebrow and glanced at
Madeleine.
”
“Weren’t you going to throw me out?”
Madeleine gritted her teeth, her eyes nearly rolling into the back
of her head.
She didn’t want to be in the same elevator as Jason, so she
waited for him to go up before taking the one next to it.
Inside the elevator, Madeleine finally found it strange.

Mr. Klein… he must be Jason’s father?
What were they doing at the Livingston Group?
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Jason was grabbed by
the arm by his father and dragged to a corner of the hallway.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
Jason impatiently shook his hand free. “You rushed me over
here, what’s going on?”
Mr. Klein’s face was livid as he hissed in a low voice, “You have
the nerve to ask?
Let me ask you, did you mess with Roderick’s woman at
Everglory Tower?”
Jason froze for a moment, then scoffed, “Oh, you mean
Madeleine?”
He shrugged nonchalantly. “I just said a few words to her. What,
is that not allowed either?”
“You!”
Chapter 202
Mr. Klein was trembling with rage, raising his hand to strike him.
“You little bastard, do you even know who she is?
Jason easily dodged, saying impatiently, “She’s just Roderick’s
wife, isn’t she?
What’s the big deal.”
“You!”
Mr. Klein’s vision went black, and he almost fainted from anger.
“Do you have any idea that Roderick has already put the word
out? The banks that were going to work with us have all cut off
our loans, the investment banks got wind of it, and overnight
our entire line of credit was severed. The Klein Family is going
to be ruined because of you!”
“What?
Impossible. Dad, you’ve got to be kidding me.”
“Do I look like I’m kidding you right now!?
?”
Chapter 202
“How could he go to such lengths over one woman? Besides,
I’ve asked around. Roderick and Madeleine’s relationship isn’t
even good.”
Mr. Klein grabbed him by the collar, hissing through gritted
teeth, “What the hell does it matter to you if their relationship is
good or not?”
“You’re coming with me to apologize to Mr. Livingston right
now!
If you can’t get his forgiveness, then you can get the hell out of
The Klein Family!”
With that, he dragged Jason toward Roderick’s office without
another word.
Meanwhile, Madeleine had also reached the top floor.
When she came out, she saw Jason being dragged toward
Roderick’s office.
It looked like he was really going to see Roderick.
“Forget it, I’ll wait a bit.”
She didn’t want to run into Jason, so she took the bento box

and prepared to wait in the break room.
“Ma’am.”
Gerry knew she was coming and went over to greet her.
Madeleine smiled when she saw him. “Gerry.”
Gerry glanced down at the bento box in Madeleine’s hands.
“You brought it yourself. Please, go on in. He’s been hungry for
a while.”
Madeleine glanced at Jason being pulled by Mr. Klein in the
distance and hesitated. “Don’t they have business to discuss?”
Gerry smiled slightly. “He’s said before that you’re more
important than any business.”
The tips of Madeleine’s ears turned red. She was about to
decline, but then she saw Jason had noticed her and was
staring at her in an unsettling way.
She immediately changed her mind. “Okay, I’ll go in then.”
Walking past the father and son, Madeleine pushed open the office door. Roderick was standing by the floor–to–ceiling
window, on the phone.

He heard the noise and turned. The moment he saw Madeleine,
his stern expression softened instantly.
He hung up the phone, walked over quickly, and took the bento
box from her hands.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
