Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 145

he quickly looked away, her long lashes fluttering twice, as if 

she’d suddenly been hit by a blinding light. 

“How did you… find out?” 

“Mariah was looking into Nanette and found out by accident. 

On the 12th, you told me you went shopping with Rebecca.” 

No wonder. 

Her reaction to the yacht dinner he’d prepared that day had 

been strange. 

Something must have happened before she came to see him. 

Roderick’s heart suddenly clenched with a pang of pain, and he 

regretted not asking what was wrong, not being there to face it 

with Madeleine. 

Whatever it was, he wanted to face it with Madeleine. 

“Maddie.” 

Roderick’s tone softened as he said gently, “Tell me what 

Chapter 145 

happened.” 

“I…” S

Madeleine opened her mouth, her gaze falling to their clasped 

hands. 

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed 

them back down. 

She was scared. 

She remembered how crazy Zoe had looked, and a shiver ran 

through her. 

She took a deep breath, suddenly grabbed Roderick’s arm, her 

eyes determined. 

“Roderick, do you trust me?” 

“Of course.” 

Roderick nodded without hesitation. 

“There are some things I can’t tell you right now, because it 

might… hurt you. But please know that I like you, I love you, and 

I would never, ever lie to you or betray you.” 

Chapter 145 

Afraid Roderick would get the wrong idea, Madeleine said the 

words in a rush. 

After she finished, Roderick’s eyes seemed to brighten. 

“Say it again.” 

“Huh? Oh, that there are some things…” 

“The last two sentences.” 

“That I could never lie to you‘?” 

“The one before that.” 

Roderick smiled, prompting her patiently. 

Madeleine, momentarily speechless, simply stood on her toes 

and answered him with her actions. 

At three in the afternoon, a few managers grabbed their laptops 

and were about to head to the conference room for a meeting. 

Gerry stopped them at the door. 

“The meeting’s been canceled. You can all head back for now.” 

Everyone looked at each other. 

Chapter 145 

Why was it canceled? 

Gerry had a secretive look on his face, but he knew exactly what 

was going on. 

Half an hour ago, he had gone to the president’s office to drop 

off materials for the meeting and found that the president, who 

was usually efficient and never procrastinated, had a pile of 

work stacked up. 

When he looked at the man himself, he was sitting at his desk 

with a mysterious smile on his face. 

He called out several times, but the president acted like he 

couldn’t hear a thing. 

A situation like this meant he was either seeing things or 

possessed. 

There was also another possibility… 

Gerry turned and his gaze fell on the president’s secretary’s 

office, where Madeleine was. 

Only Chase could have this kind of power. 

At that moment, the culprit, Madeleine, was holding a bottle of 

Chapter 145 

ice–cold Coke to her lips. 

She was annoyed as she did it. 

This isn’t right. Didn’t we agree that next time Roderick’s lips 

would be the ones to swell up? 

Was her technique that bad? 

How come she was the one with swollen lips again? 

Shaking the thoughts from her head, Madeleine rested her chin 

in her hand and started reading the news about the North City 

Science and Technology Park. 

The bidding conference was about to start, and there had been 

a lot of news about the Livingston Group lately. 

#Livingston Group Stock Plummets, Cash Flow Shortage May 

Force Withdrawal From Bidding# 

#Livingston Group Pulls Out of North City Science and 

Technology Park Project# 

#Livingston Group President Refuses Interviews, Suspected Company Crisis# 

Madeleine scrolled through them, unable to help but be 

Chapter 145 

amazed. 

If she didn’t know that Roderick had leaked all this news 

himself, she would have suspected the company was really in 

trouble. 

After all, when she pricked up her ears, she could hear a few 

secretaries outside discussing it— 

“I heard from Emil Kevin in accounting that there’s really a 

problem with the company’s funds…” 

“No way, didn’t we just sign a new project last week?” 

“Haven’t you seen the news? 

I heard the banks suddenly tightened their loans, and Mr. 

Livingston has been meeting with investors all week…” 

“And Chase doesn’t look right either. Didn’t you notice she’s 

been covering her face ever since she came back from the 

president’s office? She must have been crying.” 

“The president has a pretty bad temper. You don’t think he took 

it out on Chase, do you?” 

“Chase has such a good personality, she definitely wouldn’t 

Chapter 145 

fight back. I feel so bad for her.” 

Madeleine couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter. 

She was suddenly in a great mood. She stood up and walked 

out, and the four secretaries immediately fell silent, their gazes 

filled with sympathy and pity.
