The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 521
At this moment, Kai received a very interesting message on his phone. He thought, ‘Turns out that Donna, who had been imprisoned, is now out of jail… Interesting. She’s been released just one month before the engagement. Is he really planning to make a move so soon?’
“Dr. Stewart, a lady named Wincy Burton wants to see you,” his medical assistant said, approaching him. Xander put his phone away and asked, ” Where’s she now?”
The assistant responded, “I’ve brought her to your office.”
Kai replied, “Okay.”
As soon as Kai walked into his office, he saw an oddly familiar woman. She was standing in front of the floor-to- ceiling window wearing a light-colored dress and with long blonde hair. Her hands were crossed.
Wincy turned around as soon as she heard the footsteps behind her and exclaimed, “It’s been a long time, Dr. Stewart!” Her tone was filled with emotion.
Kai waved his hand signaling his assistant behind him to leave the room. The medical assistant did so, closing the office door.
“Ms. Burton! It’s been three years. It seems like you’ve recovered well. What brings you here this time?” Kai asked.
Wincy, in ankle strap heels, walked up to him and said, “Why didn’t you make it clear to me that my new face from the plastic surgery would be based on the likeness of someone you knew? Do you know how many people are criticizing me now that I’ve returned?”
Kai smiled calmly, making his seductive face appear even more alluring. He placed the ward round report on the desk.
He responded, “Starry Plastic Surgery Clinic has always upheld the principle of putting customers first. You chose the face back then, so of course I respected your choice. But now you’re blaming it on me. What kind of reasoning is this?”
When that was mentioned, Wincy got even angrier, “Yes, you’re right! But I thought that image was Al-generated. If you’d told me back then that she was someone you were close to, I’d never have chosen her face for the surgery. Should your company be responsible for this?!”
Kai calmly pulled her toward him with one hand and moved closer to her. Wincy panicked and stared at him cautiously. She moved backward, “W- What are you doing?!” Her back was against the table and had no room to back away any further. When she tried to leave, Kai held the edges of the table with his hands to prevent her from escaping. His slender, affectionate eyes were captivating, and his gaze was intense.
“I actually feel that there’s a unique charm about you. Besides your face, your figure looks quite good too. As long as you’re beautiful enough, why should you care about what others think? Don’t you think so? Moreover, even a gentleman enjoys physical pleasures. Those pursuers won’t mind your past. It’s great being in the limelight, right?!”
Wincy had spent many years abroad and she had countless suitors. Most of them were attracted by how she looked. However, those foreign men were fickle and would never be satisfied with just one person.
She had only experienced one relationship. It had been a hurtful experience, and she never dated again after that.
During her time in the country, Wincy had made friends with many wealthy individuals from prestigious and affluent families. However, they looked at her aggressively, with lewd intentions that she could discern immediately. Moreover, the rich ones were either sleazy or overweight, and some even offered to become her sugar daddy.
Wincy always avoided such people.
She thought, ‘Kai was born attractive, and can easily make countless women willingly offer themselves to him…. Even I can’t help but be attracted to him sometimes.’
As she was staring at him, she was reminded of the man who had left her stunned when she gathered her courage to step into the plastic surgery clinic. She had never seen a man who looked so pretty and was so kind- hearted.
At that time, she had been extremely ugly and full of self-doubt. Back then, she did not dare to look in the mirror, and every man she passed by would give her a disgusted and disdainful look.
But this man did not. When she had been on the operating table, he had whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous, in the future you’ll definitely be the center of attention. This is the surprise I have for you. You won’t be disappointed.”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 522
In the three months of her recovery, his surprise indeed had not disappointed her. But she remembered what he said for three years. Wincy’s expression was unnatural as she looked away.
“Why are you avoiding me?” Kai’s tone was alluring. He then lifted her chin, and Wincy blushed. When she felt the soft touch on her lips, her eyes widened instantly.
She thought, ‘He…’
Before Wincy could react, Kai deftly opened her lips and kissed her skillfully. With her physical desire awakened, Wincy impulsively decided to go along with him and kissed him back.
Upon noticing that Wincy did not resist, Kai kissed her more intensely. He would never refuse a woman who willingly offered herself to him.
He then suddenly lifted her skirt with his hand and grabbed her s3xy, curvy, soft butt. Wincy was panting as their lips separated, out of breath. Kai asked, “Shall we take this to the bed?”
Wincy was shy and began to blush. She nodded. The next second, Wincy felt her body become weightless as Kai scooped her into a bridal carry before walking into a secret resting room in the office.
She was then thrown onto the bed and bounced. Before she could react, Kai turned her body over and pulled down her thin underwear.
She could then feel something and clenched the bed sheets. It had been a long time since she had last done this. Suddenly, she felt a tearing pain down there.
As the intensity continued to increase, the sense of pleasure surged in, like she was on cloud nine. It was a roller coaster of pleasure and pain…
After some time had passed, Wincy was getting into it, but Kai on top of her stopped moving. She said, “Move a little. It feels good.”
Kai looked at the woman beneath him who was seeking pleasure before glancing at the person who had appeared at the door and left. He instantly lost his sexual mood. He then neatly dressed himself, stood up, got down from the bed, and walked out.
Lana waited for him outside for a while. When Kai came out, he had a post- coital cigarette in his mouth, “What a surprise. I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to come to the hospital to find me. Missed me?” He casually sat on the couch with his legs crossed.
Lana could not help but feel disgusted when she thought about how Kai portrayed himself as a gentleman in public but was actually a well-dressed scoundrel behind closed doors. Wincy got dressed and walked out. She hurriedly said, “I’m going back now.”
Kai waved at Wincy and said, “Be careful on the way back, darling.” Wincy felt embarrassed and did not respond. She just grabbed her bag and left in a hurry.
Lana went straight to the point and said, “Dad is sick. I’ve brought him to the hospital. Take good care of him. This afternoon, I’ll be going overseas with Andrew for treatment. We might not be back for a few years. You’re not a child anymore, so try not to make Dad worry.
“When Dad is discharged, you’re free to do whatever you want. No one will be there to stop you.” Lana glanced at her old Patek Philippe watch on her wrist. The strap appeared a little worn, as she still had not replaced it after all these years.
She continued saying, “You’d better take my words seriously. Andrew’s waiting downstairs and I’m in a hurry, so this is all I have to say for now. If you have any questions, just ask the servant at home.”
Just when Lana wanted to leave, her wrist was suddenly being grabbed forcefully. Kai pulled her toward him, and Lana lost her balance as she fell into a sitting position…
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 523
“Let go of me!” Lana smelled the sickly sweet scent of perfume and a lipstick mark left on his neck, along with a red mark and rumpled clothing. It was not hard to imagine how intense Wincy and Kai’s actions had been. Lana struggled. Her gaze at him was blatantly filled with disgust.
Kai asked, “Are you jealous?”
Lana scratched across his face with her fingernail, leaving a mark on his seductive face. Kai was in pain and released his grip. A hint of gloominess flashed past his eyes. Lana furiously got up from his lap. She adjusted her clothes before lifting her hand to slap him, “Don’t you dare touch me with your filthy hands!”
Kai’s face was turned to the side after being slapped, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled as he said, “You’re too gentle. I prefer it when you’re a bit more forceful.” His gaze was filled with desire, aggressiveness, and excitement.
Lana frowned tightly. She looked at him as if he were a lunatic, “For the first two accidents, we’ll pretend nothing ever happened. I won’t compromise even if you try to threaten me with those photos.” She took a deep breath before continuing, “I’m speaking to you calmly now because you’re Andrew’s brother.
“If you want to get a woman to satisfy your needs, no one at home will stop you. I’m your sister-in-law now, and I’ll always be!” Lana would not divorce Andrew no matter what happened.
Kai watched her as she left. He ran his thumb across his face. He then looked at the blood on his thumb as he laughed hysterically.
Lana felt extremely disgusted when she heard the laughter behind her. She walked quicker and went to press the elevator button to go downstairs.
When she saw the man waiting in a wheelchair at the door, Lana quickly adjusted her emotions before walking over. Andrew was wearing a mask. Lana moved closer to adjust his scarf, “I’ve talked to Kai about Dad’s situation. He’ll take care of it.”
Andrew responded, “You don’t need to force yourself to leave if you don’t want to.” Lan said, “Wherever you are, I’ll be there. We’re husband and wife, aren’t we?”
Andrew replied, “If I can’t recover in six months, I’ll agree to get a divorce. You’ll have your share of the Stewart family’s wealth, so remarrying won’t affect you too badly.”
Lan felt extremely hurt, “Andrew, no matter what you become, I’ll not divorce you. Even if you can’t recover and even if we can’t have any children, I’ll forever be your wife. We can adopt children anyway. Let’s not talk about this, okay?”
The driver walked over to remind them, “Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, we should leave now. The plane is scheduled to depart in an hour.” Lana responded, “Okay.”
She helped him into the car and sat in the back seat. Actually, there was something that she had not told Andrew. The Stewart family had previously invested in a company overseas and that company had been doing well, so she had obtained a permanent resident card. Regardless of whether Andrew’s treatment was successful or not, Lana did not plan to return to Venturia.
She had made her decision to leave and start over in another place with Andrew. Kai stood in front of the floor-to- ceiling window upstairs as he watched the familiar car leave. His gaze was intense and mysterious as if there were hidden thoughts emerging. He thought, ‘It’s not up to you whether we should end it or not… Lana!’
After the car disappeared from his sight, he casually looked away. The Arnold family had begun preparing for the engagement for a little over a month, and these preparations were all done by Ethan and Evelyn. The invitation cards for the banquet were written in embossed gold characters. The gold used was genuine. Just one invitation card was already quite valuable. Madelyn dared not to imagine how extravagant the Arnold family would be on the day of their wedding.
Ethan wrote the names of various prominent families on the white invitation cards. The guests were all influential figures from Ventropolis, ranging from government officials to wealthy businessmen, and even the popular actors and celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Ever since returning from the hospital, Ethan had been busy up until now. He even passed his company affairs to Leyton to handle.
Madelyn was studying and doing her homework in the study. After she finished her homework, she put down her pen. She then curiously walked over to grab one of the invitation cards to admire the beautiful, well-written letters on the card.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 524
Madelyn asked, “Do we really need to invite so many people? It’s just an engagement.” The pen ink on the card had not completely dried yet, so she put it down after taking a look.
Ethan responded, “We do. You’re the future lady of the Arnold family, so you’ll inevitably interact with these people. Take a look at the list. If there are people you don’t want to meet, we’ll just strike their names off.”
The paper was filled with numerous names written on it. Madelyn shook her head, “I didn’t expect an engagement to be so troublesome. If I were to handle it, I’d definitely back out.”
As soon as she said that, a vague memory suddenly flooded her mind. In the scene, she was wearing a white dress with her long, black hair cascading down smoothly. It was just before her university graduation. Instead of taking graduation photos, she went back to Zach and her house to start preparing for their upcoming wedding.
She searched online for what was needed to be prepared for the wedding.
After making a checklist, she joyfully walked up to Zach. She said in a coquettish yet complaining tone, ” Zach, there are so many things to prepare for our wedding! I’m getting a headache. Take a look at the guest list. Do you think this is fine?
“Zach, this is the packaging I chose for our wedding candies. Do you like it? “Zach, when we go get our marriage certificate later, should I wear this outfit?
“Zach, look at the camera. I want to capture every beautiful moment of us getting our marriage certificate. I want us to watch it together on our anniversary every year.”
Madelyn suddenly felt a tearing pain in her chest, and it spread to her limbs. For some reason, she suddenly recalled these memories.
She suddenly felt suffocated, as if the events of her previous life had just happened not long ago. Ethan raised his head, “What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”
Madelyn quickly reacted and smiled as if nothing was wrong, “Nothing. Is there anything I can help with?”
Ethan asked, “Are you bored?”
Madelyn responded, “I just want to help you.” Ethan replied, “The future Mrs. Arnold doesn’t need to do anything. If you’re bored staying here with me, you can go downstairs and watch some TV. I’ll be done very soon.”
The better he treated her, the more Madelyn felt indebted to him. In her previous relationship, she had given her all. And now, someone was willing to do the same for her. Perhaps, she could never repay what he did for her. But a relationship was a two-way street, so Madelyn wanted to do something for him too.
She asked, “Is the packaging for the wedding candies ready? If not, I can design it.” Ethan responded, “Grandma is taking care of it, but if you want to do it, you can.”
Madelyn said, “I’ll go get started then.”
Madelyn put away her books. She then returned to her room and took out an art book. She started drawing the packaging design on the white sheet of paper.
As soon as she started drawing with a pencil, the pencil tip suddenly broke and created a hole in the smooth paper. Madelyn suddenly had a bad feeling about all this.
‘This isn’t a good sign. I hope I’m just being paranoid.’
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 525
When the warden of the women’s prison went to check on Donna, who was kept in solitary isolation, the warden was furious. The Arnold family had specifically instructed that they only wanted her to suffer a little in prison, not to have her killed.
If the warden had not gone to check on Donna, she might have died.
On the fifth day after Donna was admitted to the hospital for treatment and woke up, she had been emotionally unstable and demanded to see Ethan, but Ethan was not someone she could just meet because she wanted to. Everyone there just thought that she was mentally ill.
Donna had been reported on television before and many people knew about it, but no one would believe what a person like her said. She was simply being treated as a lunatic.
When the superior ordered the subordinate to handle Donna, she was then sent to a mental hospital. She was locked up for five days there.
She was tied to the bed, forcibly sedated, and given medication. Her time there had been hell, as when she encountered male doctors, they would take advantage of her. She had to endure all this humiliation alone.
In the beginning, she struggled, but eventually, she was filled with hatred. She believed all this humiliation had been brought upon her by Ethan.
Donna thought, ‘I was beaten and trampled by a group of people. A sharp knife cut through my body repeatedly, leaving scars that will never heal. I’ll never forget every drop of blood shed from my body. One day, I’ll make these people pay!
‘Ethan! I’ll surely make you regret treating me like this!’
Donna’s struggles were useless. When the mental hospital nurse came to feed her medication, she did not struggle or scream anymore. Instead, she obediently accepted it even though the doctor molested her.
Donna’s phone was taken away. She pondered, ‘Besides my father, who’s a compulsive gambler constantly demanding money from me, I have no other relatives or friends around. I want to escape, but I don’t know who I can turn to for help, except for that person! He surely has a way to help me.’
So now, Donna knew she had to get a phone to contact the outside world. That was the only chance for her to leave this place.
At night, the room was pitch dark, the air awash with the smell of disinfectant. There were no windows, only a beam of light from the corridor. The hospital ward was quiet until a figure suddenly approached slowly.
In Donna’s room, she heard the sound of chains being unlocked and the door opened slightly. A man with an ordinary appearance walked in. His eyes were filled with strong desire as he looked at the person on the bed. He then lustfully stretched his hand to touch her.
At this moment, Donna opened her eyes. She could feel that the hand had already slipped inside her thin hospital gown, gripping her soft body. The man let out a satisfied sigh.
“Do you want to have some fun?” Donna suddenly spoke and it frightened him. The man wanted to quickly run away.
When he heard her voice, she did not sound like a lunatic to him. He believed she sounded like a normal person.
Anthony knew that molesting a female patient was a serious crime that could result in imprisonment and could get his medical license revoked, but before this, he had just witnessed Donna being sedated and falling unconscious, which was why he had dared to make a move on her.
Anthony did not respond. As he got up to leave, Donna suddenly said, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. As long as you free me, you can do anything to me. I’ll satisfy you, okay?”
With the light from the corridor as the sound of the man’s footsteps stopped, she knew he was convinced.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 526
Donna continued saying, “I was actually framed and sent to this mental hospital. If you lend me your phone, we can do whatever you want. I’ll go along with it.
“If you’re worried that I’ll see your face, you can blindfold me. I won’t say a word about this. And after I get out, you’ll get some benefits too.”
Anthony still did not dare to speak. This time, he gathered the courage to walk back to the bedside. His hands trembled as he stretched his hands to touch her chest. Donna made a seductive sound. She moaned lightly, “Continue…Harder.”
The desire in his eyes slowly intensified as his movements became even more unrestrained. Once his lust was awakened, it was almost impossible to suppress it.
Donna was like a doll being toyed at will. She endured the man’s movements on top of her, who was emitting a foul smell.
Her blank and emotionless gaze turned fierce and ruthless. She thought, ‘ Ethan…I’ll fight you to the death!’
Nearly an hour later, Anthony’s actions stopped. He then got off Donna with satisfaction. After he got dressed, he even considerately wiped her clean. Donna was breathing heavily as she said, “Don’t forget about what you’ve promised me.”
Anthony left without responding. The next morning, Donna woke up uncuffed. The nurse said, “Your condition has been improving recently, so we’ll leave you uncuffed for now. But if you have another episode and start yelling again, we’ll have to take the same measures.”
Donna did not respond. She sat up and rubbed her wrists before taking the medicine and swallowing it all in one gulp.
After the nurse left, Donna took out the phone from under the pillow and dialed a phone number, but the call did not go through. About five minutes later, a new virtual number called her.
The person said, “You’re out of prison?
Donna’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stared intensely at the wall. She clenched the bed sheet tightly with her fingernails pinching her palm, “I want you to help me ruin the engagement! Once I’ve taken my revenge, I promise to help you get half of the Arnold family’s wealth.”
The other person responded, “Even your life is something I’ve granted you! Don’t forget, you have nothing now.”
“I have! I’m the true Mrs. Arnold! If that bitch hadn’t appeared, I would still be the one in his heart. All you have to do is to get me out and let me reclaim what rightfully belongs to me,” Donna said. She looked insane as a glint of fury flashed in her eyes. She continued saying, “As long as I’m alive, he’ll never marry another woman.”
The other person replied, “Why should I believe what you said without any assurance? Even if I save you, I won’t gain anything!”
Donna asked, “What if I can make you believe me and offer you the greatest benefit? Will you help me then?” The other person answered, “Of course!
Donna seemed to come to a decision. She slowly spoke, “I have an email address that I frequently use in Avalon. I can give you the password. And inside, you’ll get to know all my secrets. You’ll know after you see it.”
In the Azure Corporation, Zach entered the overseas email address, but did not enter the password. Instead, he just hacked into the email.
He opened the inbox and found the correspondence that Donna had been engaged in over the past few years, including the secrets that she had mentioned. These photos were far more valuable than the information he had found through the investigation.
After five minutes, Donna asked impatiently, “So, do you trust me now?
The corners of Zach’s thin lips slowly curved up, “At eleven tonight, someone will take you away.”
Donna responded, “Okay!”
Donna had given Zach her biggest secret, something that she had never intended to reveal. But at this point, she had no other way out. She thought, ‘Ethan! You promised.’
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 527
The hours of waiting felt longer to Donna than the time she had spent in prison. She was impatient to leave.
At long last, it was eleven at night. At this moment, the mental hospital was empty. but the lights in the corridor were still on. The quiet hallway was bathed in an eerie green light. It was extremely dark at the end of the corridor. The sound of water dripping from a faucet in the cold restroom could faintly be heard. The scene was extremely creepy.
When the door of Donna’s ward was opened, she saw a dark figure quietly walking by. The person threw a car key and a sharp dagger on the floor.
Donna wondered, ‘How did this mysterious person manage to move so freely in this hospital?’
However, her mind was filled with hatred, and she could not care less about it now. After she picked up the items from the floor, she did not hurry to leave. Instead, she sat quietly on the bed, as if waiting for something.
At twelve midnight, her door was opened again. Anthony openly walked straight toward the person on the bed. He eagerly hugged her, “Have you bathed? You smell so good.”
The next second, before he even had the chance to catch his breath, a dagger had been thrust directly into his chest.
Donna suddenly laughed sardonically. Her eyes were filled with cruelty, ” Speak. Why aren’t you talking?” As she spoke, she pushed the dagger deeper. When she pulled it out, the tip of the dagger was dripping with blood. Her smile was very creepy. She looked like a female demon coming out from hell to take someone’s life.
As the dagger was pulled out from his chest, the blood gushed out. It splashed into her eyes and everything before her was bathed in blood. It seemed like she had experienced similar situations before.
Donna pushed Anthony away. He fell onto the ground with his eyes open. He was dead. Donna left this place unhindered. There was a car parked right outside the entrance, and she drove the car into the darkness.
On that quiet night, there echoed a chilling laughter…
Later that night, the sky was filled with dark clouds. A lightning bolt flashed, and thunder boomed. Soon, it was drizzling. The wind was cold. As the wind picked up, the rain became heavier too, hitting the ground heavily. The splashing water washed everything away.
When the nurse who worked in the early morning shift walked into the room, she saw blood on the floor. She was frightened and ran out of the ward. Her hands were trembling as she called for the police….
This incident was getting more and more serious. Donna, whose sentence had been temporarily suspended, was now a murderer and a fugitive on the run!
Madelyn woke up an hour and a half earlier than usual. The sky was already bright at six and a half in the morning, but the weather today did not seem to be good. When she saw the overcast sky, she grabbed a jacket.
As she went downstairs, she noticed Ethan standing at the door. He was wearing a dark blue suit with one hand in his pocket. He was standing upright talking on the phone with his back facing Madelyn. He heard her footsteps coming down from upstairs.
His face darkened as he said, “You don’t need to tell me about this, just handle it.” He then ended the call right after he said that.
Madelyn pulled out a chair. She drank the soup in her hand as she asked, ” What’s wrong? What happened?”
When Ethan looked at her, his expression turned gentle, “It’s a company matter. Leyton’s already dealing with it.” As he said that, he sat beside her as he continued, “You’ve been doing a lot of work these days. Eat more. I’ll pick you up for the photoshoot after school.”
Madelyn responded, “Okay. Also, I might come out late today. There’s a forty-five-minute exam after school that I can’t miss.”
Ethan affectionately rubbed her head, It’s okay. Just call me after the exam and I’ll come pick you up.”
Madelyn said, “Okay.”
Her right eye had been twitching since last night, making her feel a little uneasy. She was not sure why she felt that way and wondered if it was due to the upcoming exam.
After breakfast, they got in the car to go to school, but Ethan was strangely quiet. When Madelyn looked at him, she could clearly see that there was something weighing on his mind.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 528
Madelyn wondered, ‘What’s bothering him?’ Slowly, Madelyn figured it out, but she did not bring it up and both of them just remained quiet. When they arrived at the school, Madelyn softly said, “I’ll go now. Remember to have your lunch.”
Ethan responded, “Okay.”
Madelyn got out of the car. The car, which usually waited for her to enter the school, had already left. She arrived quite early today.
“Madelyn! Madelyn!” Mya rushed over while clutching her backpack. She was panting. When she got to Madelyn, she asked, “Madelyn, what’s wrong? I called your name several times, but you didn’t respond. What’s going on?”
Madelyn answered, “It’s nothing.”
Mya said, “I thought you wouldn’t come to school anymore since you got into the art college. I didn’t expect someone as outstanding and impressive as you to be even more hardworking than me.”
Madelyn smiled slightly, “There’s nothing wrong with learning more.” Her exam results for Ventropolis College of Art had been released two days ago. She was the top scorer.
Technically, she did not need to come to school anymore, but she had nothing else to do otherwise. There were people she wanted to see here, including her friends. Madelyn asked, “What about you? Why are you here so early today?”
Mya responded, “My parents are going back to our hometown, and they have a flight to catch, so I came early. I didn’t expect to bump into you. It’s great.” She laughed happily.
Madelyn thought, ‘Being carefree like her is quite nice too. She doesn’t have many worries and she doesn’t need to be concerned about messing up in the exams either. With her family background, she can have a good life and do whatever she wants to do.’
Madelyn said, “Have you had breakfast? I brought some pastries. You mentioned you wanted to eat some macarons last time, so I made a few extras for you.”
Mya was over the moon, “I want some!”
After what had almost happened to Mya, Madelyn knew she could not do anything to make up for it, but she knew Mya loved eating, so she would spend some time making different pastries for her every day.
Madelyn took out the pastries from her backpack and gave them to Mya. Mya eagerly opened them and started eating enthusiastically, stuffing the macarons into her mouth.
Mya enjoyed the macarons so much that she squinted her gentle, innocent eyes as she said, “They’re so delicious! Madelyn! I’m starting to like you more and more.”
Madelyn responded, “If you want to eat anything in the future, just let me know, okay? I’ll learn how to make it for you.”
Mya nodded before shaking her head,” It’s fine. It’s too much trouble for you. I’m already very happy that you listen to me babbling to you all day, every day.
“Madelyn!” A long-lost voice could be heard from behind. Madelyn and Mya both turned to look. It was Yvonne! Zach was there too.
Madelyn quickly moved away from him. Yvonne’s appearance was flashy. Her hair was dyed in striking red. She wore a tight-fitting dress and knee- high boots…
Yvonne had not been back to school for about two to three months. She walked confidently as she said, “I came back from France just for your engagement with my brother. Should I start calling you ‘sister-in-law’ now?”
She then turned to the man walking beside her and said with a smile, “Zach, what do you think?”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 529
“Did he really go after Yvonne that fast? For connections with the Young family? Or was it for money? And how is Yvonne now different from before? If he gets his hands on her, she’s in big trouble,” Madelyn thought.
Zach stepped closer, brushing away the loose hair on Madelyn’s forehead. “It’s been so long. You don’t greet me anymore?”
Caught off guard, Madelyn could not react. A hint of a smirk appeared on Zach’s face. His deep-set eyes showed possessiveness, a hint of wildness feelings he seemed to hide. But Madelyn saw past his facade. Behind that smile was the real Zach, as dangerous as a wild animal. Taking a step back, she said, “I have things to do. I’ll see you later.”
Mya looked at Madelyn’s brother. When their eyes locked, his smile disappeared, turning into a sharp glare. Mya’s skin prickled with unease. Madelyn!” she called, hurrying to catch up. In a hushed voice, she asked, “Is Yvonne dating your brother?”
‘Is that really any of my business?’ Madelyn wondered. Twirling her fingers, Mya blurted, “If she becomes your sister-in-law because she’s dating your brother, and you’re seeing Yvonne’s brother, then what does that make her to you? This relationship web is making my head spin, Madelyn!” Her eyes sparkled with genuine puzzlement.
“Shh!” Madelyn cautioned, covering Mya’s mouth. They had not even left yet, and their voices had been loud. If anyone was nearby, they would surely have overheard. As they moved on, Mya almost had to run to match Madelyn’s brisk pace.
Yvonne smirked, her lips and nails painted a striking red. She turned to the older, more reserved man beside her. “So, Zach, how about it? Fancy a trip to Avalon with me? It’ll only be six months. But if that’s too quick, you can stick around till I get my business degree, and then we can head back together. For an opportunity like this, most people wouldn’t think twice.
I’ve got the money and the power to get you whatever you want. In Ventropolis, everyone would look up to you, and you’re easy on the eyes. So, right here… “Her finger trailed down his black shirt, stopping just above his waist, 11 Got a six-pack hiding there? Come on, Zach. Think about living the good life, indulging in the finest foods and drinks.
Yvonne’s tone was flirtatious and arrogant, treating Zach as if he was just a trophy on her arm. However, Zach was not having any of it. Grasping her wandering hand, he briefly glanced at her chest, then looked her straight in the eye with a piercing gaze. “If you’re trying to play games, you’ve picked the wrong guy.”
Zach, with one hand in his pocket, pressed his car key to unlock the door. Without looking back, he hopped in and sped off, leaving Yvonne staring at the car’s exhaust.
For Zach, gaining power and status was just a matter of time. There were things he craved more at the moment.
Watching his car disappear, Yvonne’s usually sharp eyes seemed a bit distant. She had left for France to try and forget him.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 530
Yvonne was baffled by her own feelings: she had fallen for a much older man despite her status and countless options. Men were falling head over heels to be with her, but Zach had captured her heart like no other. For the first time, she had experienced the pain of rejection. When not around him, her mind was filled with thoughts of him. If she did not keep herself busy, he became all she could focus on. She had hoped she could move on.
‘Is he into Jadie or Madelyn? Madelyn’s set to marry my older brother. If he’s really interested in Jadie… But what about the way he gazes at Madelyn? He doesn’t look at Jadie like that. Maybe Zach sees Jadie as just family. If Madelyn goes through with the wedding, I might still stand a chance. The Arnold family’s influence far outweighs Zach’s. No matter Mom’s opinion, I have a way of making things happen.’
At Arnold Corporation, Leyton debated sharing crucial news with Ethan, worried Ethan might be too soft- hearted. ‘With Madelyn’s engagement ceremony just around the corner, we can’t give Donna another chance to drive a wedge between them.’
Ultimately, Leyton chose to stay silent. If it meant safeguarding the corporation’s future, he was ready to shoulder any consequences.
Leyton knocked and then entered the office, carrying a prepared thousand- word document. Inside, he saw Ethan in a blue shirt and black dress pants, standing by the expansive window with one hand in his pocket.
With a stern look, Ethan said into the phone, …What kind of game are you trying to play this time?”
“Mr. Arnold?” an unfamiliar voice asked. Ethan’s eyebrows came together in confusion. “Who are you?”
The voice answered, “I’m Officer Hoover from the Ventropolis Police Department. Donna Jolie, from the Ventropolis Seventh Mental Hospital, hurt someone there. We were chasing her when a big truck hit her car, and it went off a cliff. We found her phone, and it was connected to your call.”
Ethan was taken aback. Just five minutes ago, he received a mysterious call. It was Donna. “Congrats on your engagement! Soon, you’ll have the whole package: a wife, kids, and a perfect family. I know you’ll be an awesome dad. Ethan, for the past ten years, I’ve always remembered you. I love you more than anything, even if it means risking my life. Remember, you’re all I’ve got. If something happens to me, would you still think of me?”
After she had spoken, Ethan had heard a sudden loud noise. He did not hear Donna again, only a stranger telling him about the crash. Leyton asked, “Mr. Arnold?”
Ethan quickly said, “I need to step out. You handle the meeting and update me afterward.” Leyton had caught bits of Ethan’s earlier conversation and knew Donna was stirring up trouble.
“You can’t go chasing after her again,” Leyton cautioned. “Think about what it would mean for Ms. Jent.”
