The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 941

“Zach, there’s not a single person in the world who doesn’t want power. Don’t forget who helped you earn back the money you donated to charity,” Cecilia reminded Zach.

Before Zach revealed that he had a fiancee, everyone assumed Cecilia would be his wife. Had the reporters not revealed pictures of Madelyn holding a child at the mall, Cecilia would have been a hot topic for the public.

Zach was oddly quiet and asked, “Are you sure about that?”

Cecilia replied, “Of course, whether it’s you from the previous life or the present, you’ve remained as ambitious as ever. You were able to get rid of Madelyn for profit the last time, and you will do the same in this life. However, this time, I might need to wait a little longer. But it’s okay; there is still time. Regardless, whether you marry Madelyn or not, it doesn’t affect me much.”

‘A useless woman is doomed to be abandoned by fate. Madelyn could not escape this destiny in both her

lifetimes,’ Cecilia thought.

At six in the morning, Madelyn tried to listen to the conversation coming from the master bedroom next door but could not make out what they were saying. Then, she heard footsteps. After everything quieted down, Madelyn fell back asleep. Fifteen minutes passed by, and the doorknob suddenly turned. She heard the sound of a key inserted into the keyhole, but the door would not open.

Madelyn opened her eyes as the noise woke her and Dalton up. She grunted before falling back asleep. The person behind the door was probably Zach. He tried to unlock the door using another key but failed to do so because another key was blocking the keyhole. In the end, Madelyn fell back asleep when the sound outside the door ceased. She slept until noon.

When Margaret entered, Madelyn was still in bed, wearing her pajamas. She saw Madelyn upset and pinching the bridge of her nose. Margaret asked Madelyn, “Oh my, Ms. Jent. Are you not feeling well?”

Every time Madelyn furrowed her brows or massaged her forehead, Margaret made a big fuss out of it. Madelyn shook her head and replied, “Nothing’s wrong. I just had a nightmare and did not have a good rest.”

Margaret answered, “It must’ve been Dalton; he likes to kick his blanket. I had to tuck him in several times throughout the night.”

Madelyn told her, “Take him downstairs to play first. I’ll rest for a while longer.”

Margaret hesitated before saying, “Mr. Jardin has a guest downstairs. They are waiting for you to have a meal with them downstairs.”

Madelyn closed her eyes and said weakly, “Tell him I’m not awake yet.”

She knew who was downstairs without even having to go down there. At this point, Madelyn did not think she could sit with Cecilia and have a meal calmly.

Margaret hesitantly said, “Ms. Jent, that woman doesn’t look friendly at all. If you don’t go down now, she might seduce Mr. Jardin.”

When Madelyn heard this, she thought it was hilarious. She told Margaret with a harsh tone, “Margaret, I don’t want to know anything about his affairs.”

When Zach approached the door, he heard the voices in the room and slowed down.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 942

Madelyn had yet to see Zach standing outside with a sullen expression. “The woman sitting downstairs might be the future lady of the Southern Haven Villas. Besides, I am your employer, and you are my employee. You will just do what you are paid for. There is no need to care for my affairs. Just do what you’re supposed to do!” Madelyn shouted.

This time, Margaret had crossed the line. She did not know what it felt like to be poisoned by someone you were close to. Having learned the lesson, Madelyn would not repeat it. It was Zach and Rosario who gave her that valuable lesson. Now, she would rather end up alone than be betrayed by someone else.

“Why are you making such a big ruckus in the morning!” Zach’s cold voice suddenly rang. This made Margaret jump while Madelyn reacted calmly. However, she could not hide the disgust in her eyes when

she stared at Zach.

Cecilia spoke softly behind Zach, “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Zach nodded. Madelyn met with Cecilia’s provoking stare as she left with her arms crossed. When she noticed Cecilia was not wearing the clothes from the night before, Madelyn’s expression toward Zach grew more disgusted.

Madelyn retracted her gaze and ordered, “Margaret, bring Dalton to the drawing room.”

“Yes, Ms. Jent,” Margaret obliged. She quickly clothed Dalton and brought him away. Then, Madelyn lowered her gaze and hid her face. Had Zach not heard the emotion in her voice, he would have assumed

she did not care.

Zach was dressed in loose black pajamas. He moved his hand to feel her forehead when she met his gaze. She made no attempt to hide her feelings and turned her head away to avoid his touch. Zach’s hand was left suspended in the air. He paused before balling his fists.

“She had no other intentions when she came to our home. I can’t refuse these social events since Kevin is busy with other matters at the company. That’s why I drank a little too much last night. She slept in the guest room last night, and I did nothing with her. If you don’t like it, I won’t let her come ever again.”

Zach continued, “Margaret has been by your side for a very long tirne. I can make her leave if you’re still not used to her. You can discuss anything with me. Don’t ball it up yourself; it’s not good for your health.”

He saw the ring placed on the drawer and furrowed his brows in displeasure. He wanted to help her put it on, but Madelyn swatted the ring away. The ring fell and made a loud noise.

Madelyn ignored Zach’s cold stare and said, “It’s such a shame you don’t have any memories of your past think you’re as filthy and disgusting as you were in your previous life!”

Madelyn looked away from him and demanded, “Please leave. I want to rest.”

Zach did not budge. Instead, he picked up the ring and stared at Madelyn. He asked, “I heard from the servants that you met with a member of the Harper family?”

Madelyn subconsciously gripped the edge of her sheets and rebuked, “It’s none of your business.”

Zach placed the ring back in the drawer and said, “Is asking for my help that difficult? Madelyn, as long as you ask, I will help you get rid of any problem.”

Madelyn refused him outright, “Problem? Aren’t you the biggest problem? You were colluding with Fred while Mya was still in his hands. You could’ve saved her. Yet, what have you done up until now?

“I know you’re just forcing me to compromise! But what made you think I would give in? What made you think that I can only turn to you for help? The more you use Mya to threaten me, the more I won’t let you succeed,” Madelyn said defiantly.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 943

Madelyn said it through gritted teeth. The more she looked at him, the more she grew emotional. Then, Madelyn got off the bed, put on her slippers, and left the room. After that, she walked toward the drawing room and shut the door.

Margaret heard the door slam shut, scaring both Dalton and her. Madelyn clutched her chest and felt out of breath. Margaret swiftly put Dalton down and walked over. She asked worriedly, “Oh my! What’s happening, Ms. Jent? Is your heart in pain? I’ll call the family physician for you.’

Madelyn grabbed at Margaret’s shirt and answered, “I’m fine. I’ll be okay in a moment.”

However, Madelyn knew deep down that Zach was forcing her to compromise. He was forcing her to marry him.

Downstairs, Cecilia sat at the dining table, eating the food that the servants prepared. The dishes were all Madelyn’s favorites.

“Your chef is quite good,” Cecilia complimented, looking at Zach. She smiled and reassured him, “Don’t worry, she’ll think this through. If you treat her too well now, she will stay this way. You shouldn’t have this weakness, Zach.”

Zach kept quiet, but his expression was cold. A cutlery set was placed in front of him. However, within three seconds, Zach angrily smashed the bowl onto the ground and broke it into a million pieces. The servants in the kitchen knew Zach was upset, so no one dared to walk over. They all kept themselves busy in the kitchen.

Cecilia froze when Zach got up and went upstairs. In the end, he was still worried about Madelyn.

Cecilia called for him in a panic, “Zach, if you go upstairs and look for her now, she will only treat you even worse. You must take my advice if you want Madelyn to behave and become your plaything.”

Zach stopped walking when he heard her speak. However, Margaret walked in at the same time with some herbs and commented, “I don’t think what you said was correct, miss. Husbands and wives argue all the time. Mr. Jardin should go and comfort her. Your instigation here will just cause discord in their relationship. Besides, what do you mean by plaything? My goodness, I assume you’re not married yet, miss. What man from this era would still treat their wife as a well-behaved plaything? That’s inhumane, isn’t it?”

Cecilia instantly threw her fork at Margaret and cursed at her, “Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are!

Margaret quickly dodged it and said, “Oh my. People might assume you were Mrs. Jardin if they didn’t Cecilia turned to Zach and complained, “Zach, is this how your servants treat their guests?”

Margaret rolled her eyes and interjected, “Miss, my wages are being paid by Ms. Jent. Even if I were to be fired, it would be up to Ms. Jent.”

What she implied was, ‘Who do you think you are?’ If Zach were not present, Cecilia would have gone mad.

“Ms. Jent?!” Margaret cried when she suddenly saw Madelyn come downstairs. She had a satchel on her shoulder with the album inside it. When she arrived downstairs, she ignored Zach and walked toward Cecilia. Then, Madelyn told Cecilia, “You don’t need to steal him. What belongs to you will be yours.”

After that, she placed the ring on the dining table and continued, “This is too valuable for me. I’m returning it to its original owner.”

Cecilia asked her, “So you’ve also reincarnated, right?”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 944

Cecilia’s eyes flashed in excitement. She had been trying to prove something through countless probing and mocking. In both lifetimes, Madelyn was still the same. She had everything handed to her on a silver platter.

However, in this lifetime, Madelyn did not wish for anything. She only wanted a peaceful life. She looked for Ethan’s child and raised him to make amends for her mistakes toward him. He would not have been in that incident if it were not for her. It was like what Cecilia said in her past life: she was a walking disaster. Everyone around her would always be in danger and eventually leave her one by one.

Compared to Cecilia, Madelyn was much calmer. She replied, “Reincarnated? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Ms. Samford. Nevertheless, I still want to thank you for sending my brother back. That child is a fake, and Zach adopted him because he thought the child was pitiful. As for the rumors that the media had spread, you don’t need to worry about them.”

When Madelyn said this, she noticed Cecilia’s odd expression. It might be because she did not expect Madelyn to match her with Zach this way. Cecilia’s expression returned to normal as she smirked at Madelyn. She placed the ring back onto the dining table and said, “Of course, there is no

misunderstanding. I’ve been with Zach for so many years. That’s why I’m the most suitable person to be

Mrs. Jardin.”

‘It seems Madelyn was not reincarnated. Or else, her current actions would’ve driven her mad. She would scream at everyone,” Cecilia thought.

“Shut your mouth!” Instead of Madelyn getting mad, Zach was the first to go berserk. He grabbed a chair and tossed it to the side, narrowly missing a servant. Thankfully, the servant dodged to the side and avoided any injuries. Madelyn had her back facing Zach, but she could imagine how angry he was.

“If you dare take another step out today, don’t ever think of coming back again!” Zach screamed.

‘Brother?! When Madelyn threw a tantrum in the past, I would never take it to heart. However, she is growing more and more absurd these days. What does she plan to do by taking advantage of how I tolerate her?’ Zach thought.

All the servants did not dare make a sound. They were all shocked to their core.

‘Brother? Aren’t they husband and wife? Where did this Ms. Samford come from?’ The servants thought.

They had never seen Zach so angry at Madelyn before. He had always treated her with utmost care in the past. Ever since Cecilia came, they grew hostile toward each other. The loving husband and wife seemed to be breaking apart in front of the servants’ eyes.

When Zach finished screaming, Madelyn did not hesitate to run out of the Southern never looked back. From the moment she took her first step, Zach’s body shuddered. He took half a step forward with a conflicted expression. It was as if he held some regret at that very moment.

Cecilia could feel the helplessness in Zach, and her expression turned ugly. Although Zach had spoken harshly to Madelyn, Cecilia had never seen Zach this way throughout her two lifetimes. What did she do?

“Get out, all of you!” Zach bellowed.

Madelyn heard the sound of things being smashed coming from the living room. She dared not stop and got in a car. She quickly had Hayson’s previous chauffeur drive her away at the fastest speed possible.

The dishes prepared were all scattered on the floor. The floor was a mess, with shrapnel everywhere. The servant did not dare utter a word and retreated from the villa.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 945

Margaret disappointedly looked at Zach, who she thought was foolish. She pondered, ‘Can’t he tell this woman’s obvious act of trying to cause conflict between him and Ms. Jent? Can’t he see that this woman has ill intentions?’

Margaret sighed, “Mr. Jardin, I have to tell you that Ms. Jent does dislike you. You brought a female outsider back and even said such harsh words to Ms. Jent. It would probably be impossible if you hoped for her to change her mind in the future.

“She never wanted to be close to Dalton. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to leave him if she got attached to him. Now, with everything that has happened, the only feeling Ms. Jent has for you is disappointment. And she’s even more inclined to leave now.”

Margaret believed that in a “martial dispute,” the child would end up getting hurt. She had lived a long life and knew a thing or two about human relationships.

She thought, ‘Ms. Jent looks like she cares about Dalton. But she’s never acknowledged him as her child.

‘No matter how sensible Dalton is or how much he calls her ‘mama,’ Ms. Jent won’t develop any more feelings for him. She doesn’t want to be hesitant when she decides to leave in the future.’

Margaret went upstairs. Zach and Madelyn were neglecting Dalton, but Margaret could not. That was because she believed she had to do what she needed to do as she was paid.

Now, only Cecilia and Zach were in the living room.

“Zach, don’t tell me you really have feelings for Madelyn,” Cecilia sounded anxious. She had always thought everything was under control. But now, she started to feel a little panicked, So, it’s true? Ah… Zach Jardin! All this time, I thought you were just playing with her!

“Don’t forget that you and Madelyn are blood-related…”

Before she could finish speaking, Zach, who was already furious, grabbed her throat. His eyes were red and terrifying. He dragged her for several feet before ruthlessly pressing her against the wall.

At that moment, Zach became even more furious and shouted, “Keep talking if you want to die!”

Madelyn arrived at the station.

The ticket seller said, “I’m sorry, miss. You need to use your own identification card to buy a ticket. It’s very strict now. We need to verify the last four digits of your identification number and perform a facial comparison before we can let you enter the station.”

Jordan said, “Ms. Jent, where are you buying a ticket to? If you leave, Mr. Jardin will find out soon enough.”

Madelyn disappointedly returned Jordan’s identification card to him, “I overthought it. Forget it. Let’s go

back.”

Jordan responded, “Where do you want to go? How about I take you there?”

Madelyn was holding a painting in her hand. She lifted her hand to glance at her watch, “Let’s go back to the studio for now.”

Just as she turned around to leave, the ticket seller answered a phone call, “Yes, Ms. Jent came to the station. But she didn’t have her identification card with her. She just left.”

The person on the other end of the call said something before the ticket seller responded, ” Yes, she just left the station… Alright, Mr. Harrison. I’ll definitely keep an eye on her whereabouts.”

After the brief conversation, the ticket seller at the front desk hung up the call.

At Jardin Corporation, Kevin reported after the phone call conversation ended, “Ms. Jent has already gone back.”

Kevin opened the location tracker on his tablet and handed it to Zach, “This is her current location. It seems like she’s at Prof. Monet’s studio.”

Zach had expected that the first thing Madelyn would do after leaving Southern Haven Villas was to escape.

If he did not have his current status and power, he would be unable to do anything once she left, just like how she disappeared without a trace four years ago.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 946

Madelyn’s return to the studio surprised Clement. Everyone was captivated by her looks when she suddenly came into the studio. She looked very elegant, and she exuded a unique aura, looking gorgeous and fair. People there could not help but stare at Madelyn.

Clement and Dorian saw Madelyn as soon as they walked out of the conference room after finishing the meeting. Coincidentally, the receptionist was approaching them.

Clement raised his hand to interrupt the receptionist and said, “It’s okay, I know her.”

Madelyn was quickly invited into the guest room. Dorian poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of her, “I thought you’d never come back!”

Clement sat on the sofa next to Madelyn, maintaining a distance. Madelyn looked around the studio, “I’m Prof. Monet’s student. How could I not come back when all of you are here? Where’s the professor?”

Clement adjusted his glasses, “Prof. Monet is still taking on substitute teaching at the school as usual. It’s been so long since you’ve been here. I bet you wouldn’t have expected there’s a new person in charge here now, and you definitely wouldn’t guess who it is!”

Madelyn noticed a group of people outside the glass window peeking in. Dorian saw her gaze. He then grabbed the remote control on the tea table and closed the blinds, “They’re all our juniors. Some of them have worked here for two to three years while some have just graduated and have only been working for less than a year.”

Madelyn felt somewhat sad as she said, “Time’s passed so quickly. Four years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Back then, I was the youngest junior here. Now the studio’s thriving and there are so many people working here. I bet that relieves a lot of pressure for you two.”

Clement chuckled, “They don’t do much, but it’s fine. It’s mainly thanks to you. Without your continuous help coordinating with our clients, we’d surely suffer a lot.”

Dorian chimed in, “That’s right! Watching the small team that started with just three or four of us grow into a studio with about twenty people was really touching!”

Madelyn asked, “Where’s Jane? Why isn’t she here?”

When Jane was mentioned, Clement and Dorian exchanged glances. Dorian answered, “She wasn’t happy about being removed from the position of studio head. She’s already left!”

Clement said, “I heard she’s now the head of the design department at Jardin Corporation. Her monthly salary is several tens of times higher than ours. But speaking of Jardin Corporation… Madelyn, isn’t the CEO of Jardin Corporation your brother?”

Madelyn’s tone was cold as she denied it, “I have no connection with Jardin Corporation. Hay… my father is gone. Azure Corporation is now being managed by Zach. I’m not sure about the rest.”

Dorian quickly sensed that something was not right with Madelyn. He immediately changed the topic, “Let’s not talk about this today. Since you’re here and our team just got a new project, you can go take a look at it and see what you think!”

Their meeting which started at three forty-three in the afternoon ended around five o’clock in the evening. Clement knew that Madelyn preferred a quiet environment, so he arranged a new office specially for her.

As Madelyn put down her bag, Clement stood outside the office door and asked, “How long do you plan to stay here this time? If you’re facing some difficulties, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you with something.”

Madelyn was wiping the table with a tissue. She stopped for a moment before quickly reacting, “I won’t leave this time. I’ll stay with you until the end of the year. I’ll go to Marisburg after that.”

It was a two-story studio, and her office was on the second floor. She looked at the snow through the floor-to-ceiling window, noticing that the sky had darkened quickly.

Madelyn had hardly eaten anything since she left the villa. She heard someone push the door open while still looking at the snow outside the window. She had almost forgotten how much it had snowed in Ventropolis this year.

Clement said, “Take a break. Stop working and eat something already.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 947

Madelyn turned around and saw Clement walk in carrying food. After a while, Dorian came in with a dozen beers, “Madelyn, you’re finally back. How could I miss out on this?!”

Madelyn responded, “Don’t we still have to work overtime? Why are we drinking?”

Dorian glanced at Clement before saying, “Recently, Clem and I have been sleeping in the studio. Our client’s game is going to be launched by the end of the year. We’ve been putting in some extra effort for a while so that we can rest properly afterward. Also, we’re trying to make some money. Now that it’s vacation time, the prices are going up. If I don’t work hard to save up for a down payment on a property, I’ll have difficulty finding a wife.”

Madelyn had never had any financial concerns, Clement and Dorian had always envied her wealthy family background and that she could easily buy property in the city center of Ventropolis, something others might struggle to achieve in a lifetime.

They only saw the outwardly glamorous aspects of Madelyn’s life and were completely unaware of the extreme difficulties she was actually facing in her life.

Madelyn felt like she could only experience the life of ordinary people when she was with them. She envied that they had their goals, since Madelyn had been living her life aimlessly.

In the past, she wanted to travel the world. She had already done that. Now, she could not think of anything else to wish for. She was just living her life without any purpose now.

Madelyn was allergic to alcohol, so she did not drink. Clement and Dorian were slightly drunk. They went back to their respective offices for a short nap.

The night was still very long. Madelyn suddenly found the scarf she had left behind in the studio back then. She wrapped the red scarf around her neck and went downstairs to see the snow.

The studio was located in a tech park for startups. There was a green space designed for relaxation downstairs. Madelyn was wearing a beige knitted dress and a woolen coat. She sat on a wooden bench under the light, allowing the snow to fall around her.

Madelyn extended her hand to catch the big snowflake falling from the sky. A snowflake fell on her eyelashes at the same time. The snowflake quickly melted in her palm, She spoke out loud, “Ethan, it’s snowing…”

He was the only person whom Madelyn had fallen for, except for Zach.

With the experiences from what Zach had done to her in her past life, she had never cared about the existence of Donna, but she actually had some regrets regarding Donna.

She thought, ‘Why wasn’t he more firm back then? If only he had chosen me every time between me and Donna!’

In a nearby dark corner, there was a luxurious Rolls-Royce. The car window was partially opened. Zach’s gaze was deep as he watched Madelyn. In the quiet snowy night, her voice was neither light nor loud. He could hear her words clearly.

Kevin heard Madelyn too.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 948

Kevin thought, ‘I’m surprised that Ms. Jent still hasn’t moved on from Ethan after so long!

‘But it makes sense; compared to the living, it’s the deceased who leave a more lasting impact on people emotionally.’

Madelyn was stubborn. Although Kevin did not know exactly what happened. He could somewhat guess it. He could not imagine what happened after Cecilia went back to Southern Haven Villas with Zach last night. But he did not expect Madelyn to be the one who got kicked out of the villa.

Zach was gripping the red jewel ring. The sharp edge of the gemstone stimulates Zach’s wound which had not fully healed. Blood could then be seen on the bandage. Kevin asked, “Mr. Jardin, should we have someone take Ms. Jent back?!”

Right after he said that, they saw Clement cover Madelyn’s legs with a thin blanket. He sat down beside her and said, “I thought you went home.”

Clement, who was drunk, had actually sobered up when she left. He was standing on the third floor watching her for a very long time. She looked extremely beautiful when she was looking earnestly at the snow as if she was reminiscing about someone.

Madelyn clenched her cold fists as she lifted her head to look at the dark sky, ” I no longer have a home. My only family passed away a few months ago. I’m all alone now.”

Clement subconsciously realized he had said something wrong. He panicked as he said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you remember things that make you feel sad. I’m sorry.”

Madelyn smiled in relief, “You don’t need to apologize. Everyone will die someday. People leave sooner or later. Being alone isn’t that bad.”

Madelyn rarely said such sentimental words to those around her, since such pessimistic emotions were prone to affect others.

She looked at the snow for one last time before picking up the blanket on her legs and draping it over herself, ” Let’s go back and finish the work now. It’s my first time working overtime with you all; I can’t fall behind!”

Clement nodded. He walked behind her without saying a word. Then, a strong beam of light shone on Clement, making it difficult for him to open his eyes. Madelyn noticed something was wrong, so she turned her head toward the direction of the light to look at it with him.

At ten o’clock at night, the office building was still brightly lit. The atmosphere in the entire studio was depressing. Zach’s exuded a chilling vibe that was colder than the snow outside.

Everyone stared at him in the meeting room. He carried an air of elegance and was filled with an aura of restrained sensuality. The people outside the meeting room could not listen to the conversation inside.

Someone asked, “Clement, the man inside… Am I dreaming?! Isn’t the CEO of Jardin Corporation, Zach Jardin?! Why’d he come to our studio?!”

Clement frowned, “What, are you guys all done with your work?

“Do you all still want your year-end bonus or not?!”

Everyone dispersed after hearing that statement.

“I won’t restrict your freedom. My only requirement is for you to always let me know your whereabouts,” Zach said as he took out something from the pocket of his suit and placed it in front of her.

The snow that had melted on Madelyn’s shoulders wet her hair. She looked cool and distant as she stared at him, “I won’t take your things. I can buy a phone myself. I don’t need you to spend money on me. It’s too expensive. “Her tone was cold.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 949

Zach said, “Cecilia is still useful to me. I can guarantee she won’t appear again in the future…”

Madelyn lifted her head to meet his cold gaze, “That’s none of my business! Whether you send her abroad or bring her back, it’s none of my business. I’ve already forgotten everything that happened today. It’s meaningless to bring it up now. That villa belongs to you. I was just staying there temporarily. I’ll have Margaret remove my things from the villa tomorrow.”

Kevin stepped forward and frowned. His expression seemed to say she was not grateful.

He said, “Ms. Jent, it’s unavoidable for Mr. Jardin to attend social events. Cecilia is the Deputy CEO of Jardin Corporation. It was pre-planned for her to attend the event with Mr. Jardin. Mr. Jardin’s stomach hasn’t been well for a while. His stomach was just acting up last night. He hasn’t eaten since you left…”

“That’s enough!” Madelyn vigorously stood up and glared at him, “You got to where you are now because you’re capable. Those who died because of you were because they were unlucky! I don’t find it strange that women keep coming to you. Someone like you can’t change. You’ll accept anyone who comes to you.

“I didn’t mind that you drove me away. I left because I felt disgusted, especially being with someone like you!

“I know you came today to force me to go back! What else can you do besides threaten me?

“Zach, even if you’re the most powerful man, you can never compare to him.

“After a few years, people will forget the image you portray to the world. But I’ll never forget that you’re a complete bastard!”

Zach responded, “Are you done scolding me? If you’re not satisfied, do it in a way that satisfies you, and after you’re done venting your anger, come home with me.”

Madelyn thought, ‘I should’ve known that I could never escape and that I’d be brought back after I got driven out.’

There was a fruit platter on the guest table. Madelyn grabbed the fruit knife on the table and angrily held it to his neck.

Zach did not dodge. He did not even blink.

Upon noticing the situation in the room, Clement, who was outside, wanted to push the door to go in. Dorian immediately pulled him back, “We can’t meddle in their affairs. Let’s just wait and see!”

Madelyn’s hand was trembling. The sharp edge of the knife made a small cut on Zach’s neck.

She said, “Zach, I’ll really kill you!”

“I’m now giving you the chance to do it. If I’m not dead, does it mean you’re satisfied?” Zach stood up. Blood dripped onto his black shirt.

If Madelyn really cut him, Zach would surely die.

He knew she did not dare to kill him.

He said, “I can tolerate that Ethan still has a place in your heart, but from now on, you’re not allowed to mention him in front of me. How can a dead person compete with me?!”

Madelyn responded, “You’re not worthy of mentioning his name!”

Zach stared at her sharply. He even took a step forward. The fruit knife in Madelyn’s hand had already cut through a layer on his neck. She trembled in fear. Zach held her hand as he said in a cold, intense voice, “Madelyn, I’m giving you the last chance to kill me.

“If you can’t do it, go back with me.

“I promise I won’t speak harshly to you again.

“As for the matter regarding Cecilia, after tonight, we’ll put an end to it, okay?”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 950

‘How could he just dismiss everything he said and everything that had happened just like that? ‘Madelyn thought to herself.

“Zach Jardin, don’t regret the words you said,” Madelyn sounded cold and resolute.

At this moment, Madelyn raised the fruit knife in her hand and thrust it toward Zach without hesitation. Kevin’s eyes widened in shock as he immediately tried to grab Madelyn’s wrist. However, he was too slow, and the sharp fruit knife had already pierced through Zach’s neck.

Zach felt a sharp pain and something warm flowing down his neck. He reached out to touch it and his fingertips were stained with fresh blood. The pain was nothing to him as the chill he felt inside overpowered it.

Madelyn really wanted to kill him!

“Mr. Jardin!” Kevin immediately took the fruit knife from Madelyn’s hand and threw it aside.

Zach raised his hand, signaling that he was fine.

The wound was not very deep.

Zach stood up from the sofa and he was almost a head taller than Madelyn. An icy, strong presence emanated from him, causing Madelyn’s hands to tremble.

To hide her inner fear, Madelyn clenched her fists tight. Zach stared at her with his sinister gaze before he suddenly stepped forward, and Madelyn instinctively took a step back. “Did you really think that I wouldn’t be able to do anything to you just because you ran all the way here?

“I’ve given you so many chances, yet you just won’t stop challenging my limits. And now, you even tried to kill me!

“Madelyn, how bold of you!”

Madelyn immediately retorted, “You forced me to do all these things. You were the one who told me to get out of Southern Haven Villas, and I did, so why did you come after me again? Zach, you should know that we’re nothing but enemies. You killed Ethan and Mrs. Arnold Sr.

What makes

you think that I’d show you mercy? You’re just a heartless murderer!

“After you’re dead, no one would put me in a prison cell and force me to look at your disgusting face and play your stupid games with you!

“If I had known better, I’d rather my illness never be cured. I’m not afraid to die once more!”

As she uttered the last word, Zach suddenly bent down, pinched her chin, and kissed her.

‘Die? I’ll never let that happen! I’ll never allow you to leave me either!

‘Since I’ve already made one mistake, I don’t mind making more.

‘If that’s what it takes to be with her, I’ll just keep making them.’ Zach thought to himself.

Outside the soundproof glass of the meeting room, everyone was shocked to see Madelyn being forcibly kissed.

Some of them even took out their phones to take a video.

Madelyn saw someone outside and tried her best to break free. However, no matter how hard she struggled, Zach just would not budge.

At last, he forcibly dragged her out of the meeting room. Kevin packed her belongings and left as well.

In the car, Kevin said concernedly, “Mr. Jardin, should we go to the hospital to get your wound checked?”

“It’s not going to kill me.” Zach was not bothered by it at all.

“Jerk! Let me go!”

Madelyn’s hand was tied up by Zach’s tie and held against the car roof.

Zach ignored her and told Kevin to start the car.

On the way back, Madelyn only noticed the wound on Zach’s palm, which had already been scabbed over.

Madelyn felt no sympathy for him, instead, she thought he deserved it.

When they arrived at the Southern Haven Villas, the maid had already prepared a hot meal for them.

Madelyn was carried into the house by Zach, and the door was immediately closed once they went inside.

Zach put her down, and when he untied her hand, she instantly tried to leave.

To make her stay, Zach offered, “If you’d stay here and finish this meal with me. I’ll make sure that Mya will go back to her home safely.”

Zach admitted that Mya was indeed his bargaining chip, and her presence had already served his purpose.

Madelyn, who had her back facing him, stopped walking. Then, she chuckled sarcastically, Other than threatening me, do you have any other ways to make me stay?”

At this moment, Margaret’s voice turned the awkward and tense atmosphere around, “Oh my, oh my, oh my… This is bad. Mr. Jardin…” When she came downstairs and saw Madelyn, she clapped her hands in joy. “Ms. Jent, you’re finally back. I have no idea what’s going on with Dalton, but he just wouldn’t stop crying right after you left. It’s like he has a telepathic connection with you. He accidentally fell from the bed just now, and his head has swollen with a big bump. You’re the only one who can make him stop crying now. I’m glad that Mr. Jardin has brought you back. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Zach took off his suit jacket and threw it on the chair next to him. Seeing this, the maid quickly picked it up and nervously hung it on the coat hanger.

Zach thought that Madelyn would have no other choice but to give in. He knew what she wanted too well.

However, he did not get what he wanted this time.

“I told you, I’ll save Mya myself. I don’t need your help.”
