The procedure took four hours. By the following day, the two’s conditions had already stabilized. By the time Ethan woke up, it was already bright out. Leyton stood by his bed and informed him of Robin’s condition.
“The kid’s out of the woods now. He got an early diagnosis and will recover in three months post-transplant. There’s no need to worry, Mr. Arnold.”
Ethan fell into deep thought.
‘Three months… That’s when Madelyn comes back.” Ethan coughed. When Leyton saw Ethan about to get off the bed, he immediately stopped him. He said, “You can’t get off the bed yet, Mr. Arnold. You’ll need 10 days to recover.
“Madelyn… She… Did she call?” At the thought of Madelyn, he felt the eagerness to see her and also the fear of not knowing how to explain the situation to her. The matter about the child was like a ticking time bomb.
Leyton pursed his lips and hesitated before speaking, “Ms. Jent did call an hour before you came out of surgery. I explained that you’ve been handling some important affairs in the company. Focus on your recovery, Mr. Arnold. Ms. Jent is an understanding person. Even if she does learn about the situation, she’ll understand why you made such a decision. That’s why you don’t have to worry. Once you get custody of the child, you and Ms. Jent will go back to the way things were.”
Ethan looked a little pale after the procedure. His messy hair fell over his dark eyes. He fell into deep thought once more, ‘I wonder if I made the right choice hiding this from Madelyn.’
By the time Leyton finished talking, Donna had already arrived at the door and heard half of their conversation. She dropped the dark expression on her face and walked into the room with a flask.
“I heard you woke up. Thank you for what you did for Robin. And the medical expenses… I’ll slowly pay you back. I made some chicken soup. The doctor said it’s good for you.”
Donna set the flask down as she spoke. Then, she threw him a glance and left without another word.
“She’s changed.”
Donna used to be arrogant and bossy, not afraid of anyone. Donna grew up in the slums. Back then, it was a dangerous place where gangsters and hooligans were common. Not only did Donna dare to walk the streets alone at night, but she also even dared to fight a gang of hooligans on her own. She never admitted defeat, even if she had lost a fight. The current Donna was much more toned down.
“Not only has Ms. Jolie changed, but so have you. Back then, Mrs. Arnold Sr. was worried about your condition. You’d lock yourself up in your room and refuse to come out. If it weren’t for Ms. Jent, you might still be stuck in the past.”
Ethan could not help but smile at the thought of Madelyn. “You’re right. If it weren’t for her, I might not have made it till today.”
He turned to Leyton and continued, ” Proceed with the discharging procedures and return to the Arnold residence.”
“But sir, you just got out of surgery…” Ethan cut him off, “Do as I said.”
“Yes,” Leyton nodded reluctantly. ‘Mr. Arnold is probably reluctant to stay in the hospital because of Donna. He has Ms. Jent now, so it is a little inappropriate for the two to meet,’ he thought. After Leyton got Ethan discharged, he wheeled Ethan out of the hospital.
Meanwhile, a bodyguard entered Robin’s ward. A burly-looking man warned Donna, “The boss said the Arnold family will hire someone to take care of him once he wakes up. Ms. Jolie, you’d better leave on your own in an hour. If you don’t leave by then, we’ll personally escort you out.”
After the bodyguard left, Donna smashed the soup bowl in her hand at the door. She glared ferociously at the car outside the window as it drove off.
“Don’t think you’ll get away unscathed by leaving this way. I’m telling you; we’ll never ever be over.”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 572
Five days later, two men and two women gathered to play cards at Supreme World. Zach sat opposite Kai, and the two played against each other. The pile of chips in front of Zach grew bigger and bigger, all of which he had won from Kai.
“You don’t seem angry after Ethan kicked you out of Azure Corporation. In fact, how come you even seem happy?”
Zach did not reply. On the other hand, Kai kept on losing one round after another. He had already lost tens of thousands of dollars to Zach and was losing interest in the game.
He felt irritated and wanted to smoke. However, Zach could not stand the smell of cigarettes, so Kai only chewed on his cigarette.
‘How odd. I’ve never once won against him whenever we play each other,’ he thought. Just then, an attendant outside opened the door.
Wincy looked at the various women in the room. Then, she turned to the scantily clad woman practically pressed against Kai and said with slight displeasure, “Why are you looking for me?”
Kai smiled and had a mischievous glint in his eyes, “Come over, baby. Draw a card for me. I need to go to the washroom.”
Wincy did not expect the man to also be here. Zach had always portrayed himself as a person among the elites of society, always acting polite and reserved. However, he seemed to have dropped his act at the moment. His tie was opened loosely, and a few of the buttons of his black shirt were undone.
Kai also rarely saw Zach like this. He thought Zach was so used to putting on an act that he forgot he used to be a Scoundrel”.
Seeing the person in front of him, Zach set down the cards. He sat back and tilted his head while looking at Kai,” Are you trying to make me feel disgusted on purpose?”
Nobody could tell whether his words were directed at Wincy or Kai. After all, Wincy’s face resembled Madelyn’s a lot since Kai had personally operated on her. Moreover, she had coincidentally appeared now that Madelyn was abroad.
Wincy was furious and confronted him, “Who are you calling disgusting? I haven’t settled scores with you about what happened to my brother.”
She kept on getting the same answer no matter how she investigated Randall’s incident. Wincy was currently busy cleaning up the mess at her company, so she did not have the time to further investigate the matter.
Zach took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth as the hostess next to him lit the cigarette for him.
He exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke and smirked. He nodded, “If you really want to take revenge, present the evidence. Otherwise, don’t waste my time.”
Zach’s gaze grew icy. He threw his cards onto the table and grabbed a lighter. He grabbed the money that had originally been under the lighter and threw it onto the table.
“Consider this a tip.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jardin,” the two hostesses said. Kai shouted, “Don’t go! I was worried you’d feel alone without Madelyn around, so I asked Wincy to come and entertain you. How will I win back my money if you leave?”
Zach was about to leave but stopped after hearing Kai’s words. For now, he still cared about money. After all, he might have someone to spend his money on in the future. He walked up to Kai and looked at him from the corner of his eyes.
“It’s 61 thousand, inclusive of interest. I’ll have Kevin go pick up the check tomorrow.” “Stop right there! If you’re a real man, set things straight before leaving…”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 573
Kai was no longer in the mood. He walked over to the couch and sat down as the two hostesses followed him and moved into his arms.
Wincy turned around and stormed over. Then, she threw her Chanel bag at Kai, which he blocked with his hand. “Enough of your tantrums,” he said. with slight anger.
‘Who’s he to be mad at me?’ thought Wincy. She retorted, “You called me over just to embarrass me and use me as a toy for your amusement?”
Kai crossed his legs and pulled one of the hostesses closer, “Amusement? Not at all. Ms. Burton, you must be well aware that we’re all adults here. It’s just fun and games. Some things are not meant to be taken seriously.”
“You’re saying all this because you don’t want to take responsibility for what happened. You know that was my…” Wincy was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. Meanwhile, Kai was not bothered at all.
“Your what? Your first time? So what if I knew? I’ve taken so many women’s first time; am I supposed to take responsibility for every single one of them?”
He looked at her in amusement and continued, “We’re all adults, Ms. Burton. It’s about time you changed that conservative and stubborn mindset of yours. It was consensual.”
Wincy was speechless. The man she had harbored feelings for over the years turned out to be a player and a flippant jerk. She trembled in anger. Then, she slapped him across the face out of humiliation, “You’re a bastard, Kai!
You’ll get what you deserve soon.”
Kai was unfazed. He smirked and said, ” I’ll be waiting.”
He watched her retreating figure and even waved at her. It was ten thirty at night, and Zach was on his way to the airport. Suddenly, a red-colored Maserati appeared and forced him to stomp on the brakes.
Even the best driving skills were no match for the speed of this expensive car. Zach’s black-colored Audi now sported a noticeable scrape mark.
He pulled over and winded down half of his window. Then, he calmly lit a cigarette. A flamboyantly dressed girl emerged from the red Maserati. Yvonne shouted at the man in the car, Get out of the car. I won’t let you go.
She continued, “I won’t let you go to Paris to meet Madelyn. She’s my brother’s fiancee now. You have no chance with her. Leave with me now, and I won’t tell my brother about this.”
“If you’ve got so much time on your hands, why don’t you go home and study?” Zach irritably exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke. There were barely any emotions on his handsome face, but his cold tone evidently showed his annoyance.
“That’s right. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands because I like you. Why else would I waste my time and make a fool of myself in front of you time and again?”
Yvonne knew Zach had approached her with ulterior motives. She was only saying all this now because she was worried Zach would reject her.
‘I’d rather maintain our ambiguous relationship and let others misunderstand me. I always leverage my status to get close and cling to him. I’ll even take advantage of the fact that he can’t get rid of me,’ thought Yvonne.
She continued to say to herself, ‘But nothing’s for certain when it comes to love. Once you fall for someone, you fall hard. I don’t want to lie to myself anymore. I’ll cling to him for the rest of my life, even if my mom doesn’t agree.’
Zach had already grown tired of the countless confessions he had gotten over the past 26 years of his life.
He threw the cigarette butt out of the window and unbuckled his seatbelt as he got out of the car and immediately grabbed her by her neck, gradually tightening his grip.
\
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 574
Yvonne sensed the hostility in his eyes. At this moment, she truly believed Zach would kill her, but she did not resist in any way.
Zach said, “Think it through. I’m not a gentleman, and I don’t like anyone meddling in my affairs. Next time… I won’t guarantee you’ll live to see the next sunrise.”
When he noticed that she was about to pass out, he loosened his grip. Yvonne covered her chest as she gasped for air. She bent over and coughed continuously.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she watched the car drive away. She then collapsed weakly to the ground. She clenched her teeth. Despite all the suffering, she stubbornly stood up unsteadily. She then got into her car and quickly followed him.
But this time, Yvonne lost track of him. She stared at the bustling airport. She searched the airport, but she could not find Zach.
She thought, ‘Back when Madelyn persistently pursued him, he didn’t fall for her. Now that she’s the future Mrs. Arnold, Zach’s actually starting to pester her.’
Yvonne seemed to be sure that Zach’s target was Madelyn. She quickly booked a flight to Paris. Little did she know that all of this was part of Zach’s plan. Zach, who had already backtracked, received a call from Kevin fifteen minutes later.
Kevin said, “Yvonne bought a ticket to Paris. Including the layover, she’ll need twelve hours to arrive in Paris.”
Zach responded, “Got it.”
Ever since Zach had stepped down from his position as the CEO of Azure Corporation, Yvonne had seized every opportunity to appear in front of him. She practically tracked him all day long.
Hayson had requested that Zach go back to stay at the Jent residence for good. By the time he got back to the Southern Haven Villas, it was already eleven-thirty at night.
Jasmine seemed to have been waiting for quite a long time. Zach tossed the car key to the entrance area.
Jasmine was eating the cherries in her hand. There were fresh cherries that Hayson had specially flown in from overseas. At the same time, she was watching a boring prenatal education show.
“This child will be born in just a few more months. Even if I’m just a tool for your revenge, hasn’t it been long enough already? Tomorrow, Hayson’s planning a press conference to announce your identity as the eldest son of the Jent family. I think… by then, you wouldn’t want her to know the relationship between you two.”
Zach asked, “So impatient?”
“I’ve sworn to make sure every single one of the Jent family suffers!” When Jasmine turned around, she was supporting her heavy, pregnant belly. When she looked at Zach, the hatred in her disappeared as she said with a smile, “Of course, except for you.
“Madelyn… I think I won’t need to deal with her.” She walked forward and stretched her hand to button up Zach’s black shirt. She looked at him seductively as she said, “We’ve been in cahoots for so many years, and one knows you better than I do. You want to inherit his wealth, so why don’t you take me with you too? Let me be your woman. That’d be the ultimate
punishment for him. Even if we don’t take action, a slight provocation will make him so mad he’ll cough up blood and die. It’d save us the trouble of taking action and no one would trace it back to us.”
Zach squinted. He looked terrifying as his hand wrapped around her neck. Jasmine was in so much pain that she lifted her head and met his gaze. He responded, “Not a bad idea. When something happens to Hayson, she’ll come back on her own. It’ll save me the trouble of looking for her.”
He continued icily, “But… How can you be sure that I won’t come after you once Hayson’s dead? “Dead people keep the best secrets, after all.”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 575
The courses at Paris Art Academy were not easy. Madelyn lived a routine life, eating, sleeping, and attending classes. It was a rare exchange program opportunity, so she spent most of her time on her courses.
After school in the afternoon, she would talk to Ethan on the phone every day chatting about daily matters. Leonardo took the students to: participate in an international painting competition. Other than having dinners together, they rarely met.
After Madelyn returned to the hotel, she would stay in her room. Occasionally, she would check the news back home in Ventropolis.
A news notification suddenly caught her attention when she was about to put her phone down. It was about the Azure Corporation.
She then clicked open the news and saw the eye-catching headlines of ” Azure Corporation Merges With a Subsidiary of Arnold Corporation”. The content was: [Zach Jardin, the acting CEO of the Azure Corporation, was relieved from his position on the grounds of mismanagement. He is currently replaced by Mark Musk, the director of Arnold Corporation’s Enterprise Department.
According to interviews with people within the Arnold Corporation, the main reason for Azure Corporation’s merger with the Arnold Corporation is that the former CEO, Zach Jardin, failed to complete certain project developments on time.
The consequences of this mistake could cost Azure Corporation over a hundred million dollars, with a risk of imprisonment for the individuals involved. In order to ensure that the project goes smoothly, the Azure Corporation had no choice but to merge with the Arnold Corporation…
This story is reported by Ventropolis News. We will continue to closely follow this situation.]
Madelyn came to a conclusion after reading it. ‘Zach has been sidelined. If he has stepped down, it means he won’t do anything to the Azure Corporation anymore in the future. The Azure Corporation is still the Jent family’s business.’
Madelyn suddenly realized, ‘Zach is the heir that father has groomed. He’s also the person Father values the most.
‘This incident must’ve been a great blow to Father. If it’s true, he’ll definitely come and ask me to intercede on Zach’s behalf.’
To avoid any contact, after she finished reading the news, she immediately turned off her phone.
Madelyn believed with Zach’s abilities, even without the Azure Corporation, he would find another way to continue with his plan. But she thought that was fine too since this would delay Zach’s harmful actions against the Jent family.
At this moment, the Jent family was indeed trying to contact Madelyn, but the person calling her was Jasmine, not Zach. Madelyn slept uneasily that night.
The next day, Jane had to prepare for a competition. She had been coming back to the hotel less frequently lately, so these days Madelyn was alone most of the time.
It was the weekend, so she did not need to go to class. At eight in the morning, someone knocked on Madelyn’s door. She had just finished washing up and she went to open the door, “Dorian?”
Dorian had a solemn expression. He was holding a plane ticket, “Madelyn, why didn’t answer the phone call? It seems like something’s happened at your home.” Upon hearing the news, Madelyn was momentarily stunned, “W-What are you talking about?”
Dorian responded, “Yesterday, someone named Jasmine Manning called Prof. Monet. She said your father suddenly fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. After Prof. Monet found out, he immediately had someone book a flight at noon today for you. There’s still time, so you should quickly pack your things. I’ll drive you to the airport.
Madelyn did not pack anything. She hurriedly got into Dorian’s car and left. Last night, she had turned off her phone, which was why she had not answered Jasmine’s call. She had not expected the uneasiness last night to be a premonition.
The weather today was melancholy. It was raining and the sky was gloomy, much like how she was feeling. She felt anxious and the feeling would not go away.
On the way, Dorian was comforting her, “Madelyn, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. The teachers at school have already arranged leaves for you.”
Madelyn listlessly responded with a Hm”.
She was lost in her thoughts, ‘Why did father fall ill at this time? According to the timeline of my past life, it should’ve been after my graduation from university. Did Zach take action earlier?
‘During my past life, Hayson suddenly died without any warning one night.”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 576
It had been the very same night that Madelyn and Zach were supposed to get married. The traffic was quite heavy. An hour and a half later, Dorian dropped her off at the airport and left.
Madelyn did not have to wait long at the airport before boarding the plane early. The flight to Ventropolis would take more than eight hours, so she would likely arrive at the hospital by around nine at night. Meanwhile, Zach received the news of Madelyn’s flight back to the country.
At the SereneCare Hospital, Hayson was in a coma on the hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask. His heart rate was normal, but there was no sign of him regaining consciousness.
He was staying in the exclusive VIP ward, and the doctor in charge of his treatment was Kai. Zach and Kai seemed to share an unspoken understanding as Kai calmly explained Hayson’s current condition.
When Kai was writing the report, he said mockingly without looking up, You really did it just to make her come back. You’ll do whatever needs to be done to get what you want. I’ve really underestimated you.”
Zach asked, “How long will it take for him to wake up?” Kai smiled as he put down his pen. He crossed his legs as he said, “That depends on you. What do you want him to become? After all, I owe you a favor.”
Zach turned to the side. His gaze was mysterious as he sized Kai up. He then smiled as he said, “You always help me whenever I need your help with my affairs. It seems like my plans against the Jent family play right into your hands. Are you actually trying to go against the Jent family through my actions?
“But from what I know, the Jent family had no dealings with you before.” They were both testing each other. Both of them were very cunning men. They were trying to outsmart one another.
They both had something to use against each other. From another perspective, Kai and Zach indeed relied on each other for mutual benefits.
Kai’s gaze looked strange as he said, ” Tsk, don’t give me that look. I’m not Madelyn.” He then walked to Zach’s side and looked at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window. He continued saying, “This isn’t a debt I owe you. After I settle the scores, it won’t be that easy for you to ask me for help next time.
“Whether there are any grudges or not, you just need to remember that as long as you want to destroy the Jent family, I’ll always be on your side. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have studied medicine for so many years. No matter what the reason is, even if you investigate, you won’t find anything. It’s been so many years. Everything has long been destroyed without any trace by him.”
Kai thought, ‘I’ve promised her that I wouldn’t do anything to the Jent family, but I didn’t promise that I wouldn’t use others’ help. This is the karma Hayson planted by himself.’
Kai continued saying, “He should wake up in about two days. The previous medications weren’t lethal, but there might be signs of a stroke when he wakes up.
“To maintain his current condition, he has to be fed the medicine every three days. Overdosing has toxic effects. If he dies too quickly, it won’t be fun.”
He thought, ‘A quick death would be too easy for him, that bastard.’ It was almost nine at night when Madelyn got off the plane. She had left in a hurry earlier and forgot to tell Ethan.
He still did not know that she was returning to Ventropolis. After thinking about it, Madelyn decided to give him a surprise.
After she walked out of the airport’s main entrance, among the people who were arriving and departing the airport, she immediately saw Zach’s figure and realized that he was staring at her.
Madelyn felt as if a predator was watching her. Indeed, she knew that returning to the country was like walking right into a trap, but she had no choice. Hayson was her father, and he was sick, so she had to come back.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 577
Zach opened the front passenger door and saw that Madelyn was still standing still. She asked, “Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?” Madelyn hesitated and did not want to get into the car.
Zach responded, “Any Jent family’s affairs aren’t to be taken lightly. The news that Father is seriously ill can’t be leaked out to the public at all. Don’t expect any outsiders to come.
“Why are you so afraid that I’ll harm you?”
His gaze was invasive and showed a strong sense of possessiveness. Madelyn took a step back. No matter how she looked at the situation, she felt that Zach was inviting her to walk right into his trap.
After the engagement banquet, Madelyn had not seen Zach. Although he had been relieved of his position, he still looked extremely calm.
“Don’t waste time. Get in the car!” Zach’s attitude changed very quickly. He squinted to warn her. Madelyn was cautious of him, but she still got into the car in the end.
Zach walked toward her. She knew about his intentions. She took a step ahead and fastened her seatbelt, “I can do it myself.”
He had a mysterious smile as he lifted a strand of her hair with his finger, “You got a haircut?” Madelyn pretended to be calm and looked away. She casually replied, “It was too long, so I had it cut.”
Actually, she did not have her hair cut much. Only the ends of her hair had been cut as they had been a little dry and damaged due to the weather. She was surprised that Zach paid so close attention to it. The more he reacted this way, the more uneasy Madelyn felt.
“Don’t cut it again,” he said as he tugged her hair behind her ear. Madelyn moved his hand away, “You’re being a bit too controlling. This is my own hair. You should start driving.”
“Sure.” Zach smiled. He glanced at the silver-white ring on her slender, fair hand. His gaze was extremely intense. He suppressed his emotions and quickly left the airport by driving his car.
There were not many people going and leaving the airport. Madelyn still had not adjusted to the time difference in Ventropolis yet. She was still feeling wide awake throughout the journey. She watched the trees as the car moved forward quickly. She suddenly said, Father has always emphasized good health. He doesn’t smoke or drink. How did he fall so ill?”
Zach asked, “Are you suspecting me?”
Madelyn responded, “Zach, you don’t need to beat around the bush with me. I know you’re behind this, but I’ve never understood why. He’s already passed the Azure Corporation to you long ago, so why won’t you spare him? He values you more than me. I can’t think of any other reason for you to hurt him.”
She thought, ‘In this lifetime, Jadie is still alive. If in the previous life, Jadie’s death was the reason for Zach going against the Jent family, what about this time?
‘Jadie is clearly doing well, and I changed both Ethan’s and Jadie’s fates. Logically, there’s no reason for Zach to act this way.’
She had not understood it in her previous life. and even in this life, still did not understand why Zach would do all of this.
He drove the car into a secluded side road. There were no surveillance cameras. It was hidden perfectly in the shadows too. Even oncoming vehicles with their high beams on would not easily spot them. He stopped the car and said, “Madelyn, don’t you understand yet?
“If I said I did all of this for you…”
Upon hearing that, Madelyn could not help but find it absurd. She almost wanted to laugh as she scoffed, “You don’t need to say these sweet nothings to me. You’ve never done anything for anyone except yourself. Do you really think I’d believe what you’re saying? I don’t need you to do anything for me now. You have Jadie and Yvonne…”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 578
Madelyn continued saying, “Is it not enough that you have them both?”
She thought, ‘Maybe he’ll even meet Cecilia again soon. When that happens, will he still say things like he does things for me? He’s always liked to treat me as if I know nothing. He likes to sweet-talk and deceive me.’
Zach calmly looked at her, “Well, I want you again. Now what?” Madelyn instantly opened her eyes wide as she looked at him in disbelief.
He suddenly reached out and pulled her. Somehow, her seatbelt was unfastened. He held onto her waist with one hand. His eyes were extremely intense. Seeing her shocked and covering herself, he was reminded of the first time in the hotel when he had sex with her and made her cry. She had appeared so pitiful and helpless.
This made his mouth dry, and his tongue felt parched. This was his first time feeling this. He did not expect that once he had sex with her, it would become so addictive. Zach’s intense desire for Madelyn became increasingly overwhelming.
He thought, ‘Only with power and status can one fool around with women. It’s understandable why so many people want to establish a foothold in Ventropolis.’
Madelyn said, “Let me tell you, I’ve already called Ethan before coming here. If you dare to touch me, he won’t spare you.”
Zach smiled. When he saw her anxious expression, he suddenly had another idea. He pondered, ‘If in the past, my goal was to get her body, then… Now I’m willing to spend a little more time to get her heart. I can get her body whenever and wherever I want.”
Rather than repeatedly using force, he preferred Madelyn to return to how she used to be, willingly falling for him. “I’d love to see him try.” His voice turned low and hoarse. It carried an element of self-control.
Zach brushed through her long hair to grip the back of her head. He then pressed his warm lips against hers. No matter how she struggled, she could not break free. Only when she felt the ring on her finger slide off did she somehow find the strength to push him away. She said, “The ring. Give it back to me.”
She was panting. Her hair and shirt were messy from being violated just now. He rolled down the window and pursed his thin lips as he threw the ring right out of the window. There was a crisp ‘clink’ of metal hitting the asphalt.
“No.” Madelyn got up and tried to retrieve it. However, she lost her balance and fell directly onto Zach’s body. She said, “Who are you to throw my ring away?! Are you insane?”
Zach hugged her tightly in his arms as he wiped away the wetness at the corner of her mouth. He responded, ” I’ll answer you in the future. Let’s head home now.”
“No. I want to get out of the car and find the ring.” Madelyn panicked as she tried to get up from his body.
That was her engagement ring. If it was lost like that, she would not know how to explain it to Ethan. Moreover, there was only one like it in the whole of Ventropolis.
Zach reversed the car, causing Madelyn to forcefully bump into his chest. He then drove the car back onto the highway. Ignoring how hard she pounded on the car window, Zach decisively drove away.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 579
Madelyn was forcefully dragged back to the Southern Haven Villas with tears in her eyes. As soon as they entered the house, Zach locked the door.
Jasmine was sitting on the couch in the living room. She was munching on some cherries and stood up as she heard the movement behind her.
“You’re back?” Madelyn forcefully shook off his hand. When she opened the door and tried to leave, the bodyguards at the entrance blocked her way.
Jasmine smiled as she tenderly said, What’s wrong? Are you two siblings arguing again? Zach… Madelyn is your sis, you should give in to her.”
Madelyn could not leave. She accepted the situation and wiped her tears. She expressionlessly turned around and said, “I’m going upstairs to check on my father.”
Jasmine’s gaze was cold as she smiled slightly, “Go ahead. Your father’s aware of what you’re saying, but he just doesn’t respond. Talk to him more, maybe he’ll wake up soon.” and
Madelyn went upstairs without responding. She could then hear Jasmine’s voice again, “You must’ve had a tiring journey! I thought you might not have eaten, so I made some soup for you. you later? Would you like me to feed “The child was causing a lot of trouble. It took me a long time just to prepare this soup for you.’
Jasmine looked at Madelyn who was hurriedly going upstairs. Her smile carried a sense of satisfaction and playfulness.
“Done having fun?” Zach pushed Jasmine away.
“As soon as she comes back, all your attention goes to her. If you keep acting this way, I’ll be jealous.” Jasmine pressed herself against him again. She romantically touched his chest. Her seductive gaze seemed like she wanted to have him completely. Madelyn did not want to stay in the same space with them at all.
Zach and Jasmine’s relationship was unclear, and Madelyn was aware of it. She also knew that Jasmine’s act was intended to provoke her. Now, she even suspected whether the child Jasmine was pregnant with was really her father’s.
She thought, ‘Could Jasmine be carrying Zach’s child? It’s too absurd.’
When Madelyn thought about them secretly doing the act on the bed behind her father’s back, she could not help but feel disgusted.
Inside the master bedroom on the second floor, the door wasn’t locked, and there was an unfamiliar caregiver taking care of Hayson. The caregiver said, “Ms. Jent, it’s very late now. Mr. Jent needs to rest. I think you should check on him tomorrow.”
Madelyn stood at the door and took a look. Hayson’s face showed no sign of anything unusual. He was hooked onto an IV drip lying on the bed as if he was asleep.
Right at this moment, Madelyn’s phone rang. She turned around and went to a corner of the hallway to answer it. It was Leonardo. Leonardo was inquiring about Hayson’s condition. Madelyn said, “Yes. Thank you for your concern, Prof. Monet. His condition is okay.
“Don’t worry. Once his condition is stable, I’ll be back. It’ll probably be within two to three days. It won’t affect my courses.”
After chatting for a while more, the phone call ended. Madelyn wanted to go back to her room. As she turned around, she saw Zach. She just ignored him and walked past him.
Zach raised his eyebrow lightly as he smiled, “Your room has been moved up to the third floor. I had people tidy it up for you. It looks just like before.”
Madelyn coldly responded, “I don’t like staying in a room someone else has slept in. I’ll sleep in the villa next door tonight.”
The villa next door belonged to Ethan, and she knew the door code. Zach replied, “Well, that’s not up to you.”

Zach took a big step forward. He forcefully lifted her and walked directly toward the third floor. Madelyn shouted, “What are you doing? Put me down. Don’t touch me!”
Zach ignored her yells and kicked open the door. He then found the light switch on the wall and switched it on. After that, he just tossed her onto the bed. This bed was even softer and more elastic than the previous one, so she bounced a little when she landed, leaving her a little dizzy.
Her phone dropped onto the ground, and the battery fell out. Ever since she had gotten this new phone, it would not break no matter how many times it dropped. It had even survived after being submerged in water.
Zach picked up the phone from the floor and reinserted the battery, “You aren’t married yet. Don’t forget that you still belong to the Jent family. If you keep running away to other people’s houses or keep being disobedient, I’ll restrict all your freedoms, including your trip back to Paris.”
“You bastard. If you dare to do so, I’ll call the police.” Madelyn easily took the phone from his hand. Zach found the threat of calling the police coming from her somewhat absurd.
He pursed his lips smiling as he nodded, “Sure. As long as you’re obedient, I won’t do that.” He then wrapped his strong arm around her and used his other hand to lift her chin. He then kissed her on the lips, “Sleep early.
“Get lost!” Madelyn responded. She vigorously wiped the area where he had kissed her. After he left, she slammed the door shut loudly.
She could not get rid of her anger. She was afraid that he might do something inappropriate to her in the middle of the night, so she moved the dressing table to block the door.
Zach went downstairs. When Jasmine saw the smile on his face, she was hurt. She asked, “Are you this happy just because she’s back?”
She had never seen him like this before. She continued, “You brought her back, but aren’t you worried I might do something to her?”
The way Zach looked at Madelyn and Jasmine was indeed different. Jasmine thought, ‘He always treats me as an outsider. He finds me unclean and doesn’t allow me to get too close, but he’s willing to change his plans for an enemy’s woman. He even wants Madelyn to come back to him at any cost.’
The special treatment Zach had for Madelyn made Jasmine so jealous that she felt like she was going crazy.
“Do you really think your presence can threaten her?” Zach raised his hand and patted her face, “Stop thinking so highly of yourself. I’ve said before that I’m not interested in someone like who’s been played around with.” you,
It was normal for a pregnant lady to have emotional instability, and her inner voice made her speak harshly again, “Sure, I’ve been played around with, and you don’t like it, but what if one day Madelyn ends up just like me? When that happens, I’d love to see if you’ll still protect her like you do now.”
Zach’s gaze suddenly turned fierce and terrifying. He grabbed her neck and leaned in close to her ear, “If so, I can’t keep you here any longer.”
It would indeed be an easy task for Jasmine to hurt Madelyn if she wanted. Over the past year, she had been considered Hayson’s confidant. If Madelyn did not share the Jent last name or if she was not Hayson’s daughter, Jasmine would have already acted on her obsession with Zach and hurt her.
The death of Julia at the ski resort at The Enchanted Mountain was the best example. Zach and Jasmine were the same type of people.
While there were people loyal to Zach around Hayson, Zach might have had other spies around other people too. As for Jasmine’s actions, Zach often turned a blind eye, but that did not mean he would tolerate her every time..
Zach grabbed the back of Jasmine’s collar and dragged her to the kitchen. The sink was filled with water and some residual dish soap.
He growled, “While I still have some patience left in me now, why don’t you think about how you’d like to die? Do you want to end up like her, dumped in the wilderness and torn apart by wild beasts?
“Isn’t this the kind of method you usually prefer? Huh?”
