Chapter 31: Prisoner

Zac's body had been difficult to recover for a while.

However, at the same time, Madden Industries has been plagued by problems one after another.

The company's confidential accounts, pre tender price and so on have been leaked one after another.

This had directly led to the drop of the company's share price, which had been thoroughly investigated
by the tax bureau.

At the same time, shareholders had put pressure on Zac one after another, and in the most extreme
case, they have withdrawn their funds directly.

At that time, Madden Industries was in a precarious situation.

Simultaneously, some people leaked the news that Zac's heart disease was severe and that he could
"die young" at any time.

He was the sole surviving member of the old Madden family.

Zac's wise leadership had been critical to the Madden Industries' success over the years.

If he was really "dying soon’, it was unclear where the leadership of Madden Industries would go! Such
negative news was yet another setback for the stock price! The Madden Industries’ stocks fell sharply
in a row, with a three day direct limit.

This situation appeared to be a form of boxing combination.

First a boxer has to train his body, before planning his career.

The other party's original plan was for the action against Madden Industries to begin only after he died
of poison.



However, it was not yet his time to die.

The other party's plan was exposed in advance and they failed to kill him directly, so they could only
strike first and think of killing him while he was still ill.

Just when everyone outside was speculating about Zac's next move, he quietly left the hospital and
went home.

He didn't bother anyone, and came to the study without anyone knowing it.

The door to the study, which should have been locked, swung open as soon as it was pushed.

Sophie, who was sitting at his computer desk, was startled, when the door quietly opened.

She jumped to her feet, still holding the USB flash drive that she had yanked out in a hurry.

Zac looked at her, his expression fell like water.

Sophie also looked at him, her face as white as paper....

At that moment, she didn't know why she was so terrified, but she just knew that she had done
something wrong, outrageous and unforgivable.

Zac looked at her with that particular look.

She must have made a huge mistake.

.....

Sophie's spirit couldn't withstand such great pressure, so when Zac took the first step towards her,
everything around her went black and she fainted immediately.



She found herself lying in a strange room, when she woke up.

Her hands and feet were tied to the bed, but the chains were long enough for her to move freely
through the house, except for the fact that she couldn't leave this room.

She trembled with fear.

She was reminded of one of her neighbors’ puppies.

At first the owner adored it very much, but later it bit him.

Since then, the owner had completely lost his affection for it.

Instead of abandoning it, he tied it to the kennel by the door with a chain and fed it and gave it water
every day.

However, it had completely lost its freedom and its owner's love......

Now, she had also been locked up.

‘Does Zac want to treat me like a puppy, because I made a mistake, although I have no idea what I did
wrong?’ Sophie thought.

Just as she was about to panic, the door opened.

Zac, whose face was noticeably thinner, appeared in front of her.

"Zac...’ AS soon as she opened her mouth, her tears began to fall.

Zac set down the food he had brought, walked over to her, and gently held her in his arms.

Sophie was overwhelmed when she felt his hug and warmth and she burst into tears.



"Zac, you don't want me, do you? I made a mistake and now, you have to lock me up like a puppy!"
