Chapter 284 My Darling Hubby
The footage ended there.

“No wonder you installed a pinhole camera in his office this Zachary is indeed suspicious!” Josiah was lost in thought after he finished watching the video.
Madelyn nodded, calmly stating, “It’s good that I discovered this early. The problem isn’t too severe now and hasn’t gotten out of hand. Otherwise, who knows what kind of damage these people will do to the company in the future.
No wonder things ended up so tragically at home in my previous life. Even after Regina seized power, the Thornton Corporation still went bankrupt in the end. With a toric indidual like Zachary as an employee, it’s hard to imagine the company not going downhill. The company that Father had painstakingly established from scratch was ruined overnight, all because of this dwned man. How heinous! I swear I’ll catch everyone sooner or later, completely expelling these pests from the company!
“It’s just so horrible, Madelyn. I’ve been by your side for so long, yet I had no idea the people around you were so insidious! Jillian complained indignantly, surprisingly feeling a hint of sympathy for Madelyn. “Even though I’m just an ordinary person and my family isn’t well–off, at least I don’t have to deal with such blatant power struggles! Oh, Madelyn, you must be so weary of all these.
Madelyn nearly burst into laughter. “Don’t worry. I’m not a doormat.”
“Well, that’s true. If you were a pushover, then pigs could fly,” Tristan couldn’t help but tease.
Everyone burst into laughter.
“So, what’s your next move?” Josiah asked at that moment.
Somewhere along the line, Josiah began to sympathize with Madelyn.
If she were just an ordinary young girl, she wouldn’t have pushed herself to learn martial arts, shooting, and all sorts of skills typically associated with men. However, precisely because she was raised in such a cutthroat environment, where those around her harbored ill intentions, she had no choice but to strive to protect herself and those she loved. I’m sure she must have had it tough and exhausting. Despite that, she never retreated Instead, she continually forced herself to
remain strong
Madelyn fell into deep thought
Although the pinhole camera has indeed captured both sound and visuals, I still don’t know what is in the ledger that Livian wanted Zachary to hide. The surveillance footage only serves as a wake–up call and dorin’t really answer any questions. It seems it will take some time to get rid of Zachary for good. I’ll have to start by finding a breakthrough through Livian.
With that in mind, Madelyn resumed her cheerful demeanor. “No worries, I can handle the situation on my own. Thanks for your help, Tristan.”
The atmosphere lightened again. Tristan waved nonchalantly. “What are you thanking me for? We’ve been through all sorts of shenanigans together, and I’ve never seen you so courteous. You’re actually thanking me for such a trivial matter, do you even consider me a friend?”
Madelyn could only offer a resigned smile. “Fine, this is what you were supposed to do anyway”

for granted? You should at least thank me.”
The group frolicked and laughed heartily.
Later on, when Madelyn returned home, she shared the discovery with Sebastian.

Sebastian was displeased that Madelyn had dared to sneak into the company in the middle of the night to install pinhole cameras, he didn’t get overly critical since she had already taken care of everything.
Thus, he said, “It might be a good idea to start with Livin. If you investigate Zachary and don’t find enough evidence, he most certainly won’t let you find is weaknesses. As for Livian, she’s nothing more than a pawn to Zachary. She won’t be as on guard as Zachary, making her an easy target,”
Madelyn nodded happily. “Sebastian, that’s exactly what I was thinking”
Sebastian responded with a nonchalant hum. It seems Madelyn’s analytical skills have improved.
After some thought, Sebastian’s handsome brows furrowed slightly as he warned. “But remember, you’re not allowed to act recklessly. It’s best to inform me before you do anything, understood?”
Madelyn’s delicate face lit up with a wide smile. Her tone was noticeably softer as she said. “Got it. I know
you informed about
my darling hubby worries about me the most. From now on, I promise to ke she said, “Got it. I know
everything I do, okay?”
Darling hubby? What kind of nickname is this?
Sebastian felt an inexplicable discomfort at her nickname for him.
If he was an iceberg, Madelyn was an inextinguishable wildfire that tirelessly, gradually melting him.
With great effort, Sebastian regained his composure and warned, “Don’t let me see you get hurt again, or else-
Before he could finish his sentence, Madelyn snuggled into his arms like a kitten, teasingly asking, “Or else what?”
Or else… Sebastian couldn’t help but frown. D’mn it, I can’t think of what to say. She keeps rubbing herself against me. She’s so unscrupulous!
At that moment, Madelyn lifted her head from his embrace and looked at him with a soft smile. Her tone was gentle and hesitant when she said, “Sebastian, do you know that you’ve changed a lot recently? In the past, you would always avoid me whenever I tried to get close to you.”
Madelyn clearly remembered Sebastian’s resistance toward her nearness. Back then, Sebastian refused to believe in her sincerity no matter what, even going so far as to suspect her of playing some new kind of trick on him.
Sebastian let out a cold snort.
Surprisingly, there was a hint of playful arrogance in it
Madelyn suddenly laughed sweetly. A playful thought crossed her mind, and she dove back into his arms, her hands fondling his body clumsily.
“Sebastian, let me give you a massage. Do you feel comfortable here?” Her fingers moved to the tip of his

“What about here?” She pointed to his neck.
“Then…. how about here?” Suddenly, her finger slid down, deliberately touching a place she shouldn’t have. A broader smile spread across Madelyn’s face, tinged with a hint of playful mischief.
Sebastian’s expression changed instantly. At first, he could barely hold back, but how could he possibly let her off the hook by then?
With a swift turn, he unceremoniously pinned her delicate and slender body onto the couch beneath him.
His warm, large palms gently held her hands.
Madelyn found herself pinned under this towering figure
At that moment, Sebastian’s eyes held a provocative glint, even his tone was somewhat intimate. “Do your have any idea what you’re doing?”
