The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 951
“Anyone who ends up in Ventropolis Prison can never come out alive. You’d better think carefully before deciding what you want to do. I’m the only person who can bring someone back alive from his hands.”
Madelyn knew how dreadful of a place the Ventropolis Prison was. It was a prison for death row inmates, and those taken there would usually end up either dead or severely injured.
Even an innocent person who ended up there would return to be an incomplete corpse. Zach sat in his seat, and the maid had already set up two pairs of utensils.
Madelyn took a deep breath. She tried her best to suppress her emotions as she pressed her fingernails deep into her palms.
In the end, she gave in.
Madelyn only took a few bites of her food and did not touch the dishes Zach had served her at all. Before they realized it, it was already past midnight. When Zach finished eating, the dishes on the table were already cold.
As Zach set down his fork and knife, Madelyn said nonchalantly, “I hope you’ll keep your promise and let Mya return home safely. In the future, I’ll stay here and not go anywhere else. But please, don’t force me to do things I don’t want to do.
“I don’t want to be Mrs. Jardin, and I won’t marry you. Lastly, whoever you choose to marry has absolutely nothing to do with me.”
Her brief moment of freedom ended when Zach brought her back, and now she felt like a soulless shell again.
On the hallway of the third floor, Dalton was still crying. Madelyn walked past him like a lifeless zombie as if she could not hear him at all.
Madelyn went back to the mast bedroom and found out the ring was back on the bedside table. After washing up, a sudden wave of fatigue hit her, and she quickly fell asleep on the bed.
In the quiet study, Zach took out a stack of money from the drawer and placed it on the table. With a cigarette in his hand, he said, “This is what you deserve.”
Margaret looked at the money but did not step forward to take it. Instead, she spoke with a hint of worry, “Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent didn’t sound like she was lying earlier. And also, you’ve made a mistake in this matter. No matter what, you shouldn’t have brought another woman back and let her stay overnight. Even if other people believe that nothing had happened between you and the woman, Ms. Jent already had a bad impression of you. How could you ignore her feelings and do something that hurt her so much?
“To be honest, I can feel that Ms. Jent has already accepted you, but with what you said to her, sigh… I have no idea what to do now. I don’t think I should take this money…”
Zach asked, “So, what do you suggest me do?”
Margaret shook her head. “I really don’t know.”
Zach wanted Margaret to come up with something to make Madelyn stay.
“Ms. Jent is still upset. You should let her vent her anger on you. If she ever hits you, you must not hurt her…”
Indeed, Zach did not hurt her!
There was that fresh wound on his neck, but the black shirt he was wearing hid his wound well, but the smell of blood on him was strong.
Margaret had initially agreed to help Zach because of the money, but the thought of betraying Madelyn felt unrighteous. Besides, Madelyn was suffering enough and had no one else to support her.
She figured that if she had betrayed Madelyn, she would regret her decisions later on. When Rosario had been admitted to the hospital, she had entrusted Margaret to take good care of Madelyn, so it would not be right for her to turn her back on Madelyn.
However, Zach still gave her the money, a whole ten thousand dollars. Zach had always been generous when it came to money.
That night, Zach smoked in the study for the entire night. The whole study reeked of cigarette smoke, and the wound on his neck remained untreated. By the time he finished smoking his last cigarette, the blood had already coagulated.
In the master bedroom, Madelyn turned on the bedside lamp. There was a slight movement outside the door before it was opened. Madelyn, who was barely awake on the bed, felt an itchy sensation on her face. Then, she caught a whiff of a foul smell of cigarette.
She turned her head and saw a figure beside the bed. Madelyn’s daze instantly cleared as she propped herself up on the bed, avoiding his touch. ” Don’t touch me!” Her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
Zach remained silent.
Madelyn acted like he was the person she hated the most. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. When Madelyn had gone into the room earlier, she had deliberately changed both the bed sheet and cover.
She thought about the time she had spent there with Zach and felt nauseous. Zach said, “Madelyn… nothing happened between me and Cecilia.”
Although Zach tried to explain himself, Madelyn did not stop walking. She was not even bothered to look at the wound on his neck.
Madelyn just wanted to stay away from him, so she went to Dalton’s room to sleep for the night. Zach did not stop her.
Madelyn locked the door from inside and barricaded the door with some furniture. She just could not bring herself to believe in anything Zach said. The next morning, Madelyn went downstairs right after waking up.” Where’s Zach?” she asked Margaret.
“Hasn’t Mr. Jardin been upstairs all this time?” Margaret said. Madelyn went back upstairs and knocked on the door. After not getting any response, she opened the door and walked in. She glanced inside and found Zach sleeping on the bed in his outfit from yesterday.
“You said that you’d let Mya go home yesterday. Are you not going to fulfill your promise?”
Zach showed no reaction. Madelyn found it strange as she walked over. “Zach Jardin? I’m talking to you!
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 952
Madelyn cautiously approached Zach and realized that he was just lying still. She figured that given how vigilant he was, he would have been awake when she was this close.
Madelyn reached out to touch him, “Z- Zach?” she called out to him softly.
At this moment, Zach abruptly opened his eyes. The hostility in his eyes startled Madelyn. In the next second, he forcefully grabbed her hand and threw her onto the bed. After that, he went on top of her.
Madelyn was like a frightened puppy, feeling lost and scared. Zach then placed her head next to her ear, and she could hear his faint breath, as if he had fallen asleep.
“Zach, you’re hurting me. Get up.”
Zach stayed still.
Very soon, Madelyn felt that something was wrong. His body was scorching.
She looked down on her light-colored nightgown and found out that it had been dyed red with fresh blood. She suddenly held her breath and noticed that Zach had not treated his wound on his neck, which was already festering.
‘Is it infected and causing him a fever?
‘No wonder he didn’t respond to me at all.’ Madelyn thought to herself.
“Zach, wake up. Let me go. You’re hurting me!”
“Hey, you pig! Wake up!”
No matter how loud Madelyn shouted, Zach showed no response at all. However, his arm was still tightly wrapped around her waist.
“Ethan, you’re back!”
As soon as Madelyn said that, Zach suddenly opened his eyes, lifted his ferocious eyes, and stared at her. He breathed rapidly, and the strong, unpleasant scent of cigarette emanated from his body. “You’re not going anywhere!” He seemed to be suppressing discomfort as he uttered those words in a low, hoarse voice.
He was going to kiss Madelyn, but Madelyn was fueled by an unexpected burst of strength that helped her to push him away effortlessly. Madelyn could finally catch her breath after Zach got off her. Even so, Zach’s grip on her wrist had not loosened at all.
She lifted her other hand and tried to pull his hand away, but he just would not budge at all. Madelyn began to suspect that Zach might be pretending to be unconscious.
After a few attempts, she finally gave up. Now that he was sick, it was the perfect opportunity for her to leave. If she were to wait for him to wake up, who knew when the next chance would come.
“Zach, you’re sick. I’ll go get medicine for you,” Madelyn said. This seemed to work, as she felt Zach loosening his grip on her hand.
Madelyn pulled her hand away and rubbed her wrist. She began rummaging through cabinets, looking for her ID and passport. She would not be able to go anywhere without these documents.
After searching for about half an hour, she went into the study. Under where Zach kept his important files, Madelyn found her ID. Then, the phone beside his computer caught her attention.
Madelyn glanced nervously at the open door before picking up the phone. Zach’s phone was not locked by any password, so she could easily gain access to it.
She opened the contacts application on his phone, found Kevin’s number, and sent him a text message. After editing it several times, she finally managed to text in a manner similar to Zach: [Send me Mya Harper’s location.]
She hit the send button.
Kevin had just finished a small meeting and was surprised to see Zach sending him a text message because they usually communicated through calls.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 953
At first, Kevin did not think too much of it and sent a location without asking any questions. However, he received a reply after a few seconds.
Madelyn was both angry and surprised. She knew that Zach could be shameless, but not to this point. Mya was at Floral Loft, yet Zach had lied to her, saying that she was in the Ventropolis Prison. ‘What a jerk!’ Madelyn cursed inwardly.
Madelyn took her ID and went out of the study. She glared at the unconscious man on the bed and took the chance to slap him twice across the face.
Then, she immediately packed some of her belongings and ran out of the house. After that, she told George to drive her to Floral Loft.
Meanwhile, Mya was still unaware of what was happening. She was eating cupcakes, one after another. As for Blake, she sat at the side and watched a new variety show featuring her idol.
“Mya, you’ve been eating for days. Are you not going to cut it down a little? You won’t be able to lose any weight if you keep eating,” Blake said.
Blake thought that Mya had been enjoying her life to the fullest as all she did was eat. Her appetite was even increasing day by day.
“Blake, you don’t understand. Mom and Dad said being able to eat is a blessing. I need to eat more to be blessed, so the bad people won’t bully me anymore.”
Blake shook her head helplessly. “Your Mom and Dad will worry that you won’t be able to find a husband if you keep eating like this.”
“Why would I want a husband? Living alone is so much happier.”
Blake could not understand what was going on with Mya. She was eating more and more every day, and the garbage she threw out each day could fill a garbage dump. Mya peeled another orange and stuffed it into her mouth.
Blake took one and began to eat it too. However, her expression changed as soon as she took a bite of it. “Damn, why is it so sour? Mya, how could you put something like this in your mouth?”
Mya was enjoying it. “Sour? It’s not sour at all!”
She ate a few more as she spoke. Blake stared at her and said after contemplating for a while, “Mya, are you pregnant? A normal person can’t be enjoying something so sour.”
Mya chuckled. “Blake, you’re so smart. How did you know that I’m pregnant?”
Blake was shocked as she immediately sat up straight, saying, “Are you really pregnant? Whose child is it? Do your mom and dad know about this?”
Mya replied with a long “hmm” as she stared at the ceiling. “You can’t tell anyone about my baby yet. I’m going to give Mom and Dad a surprise,” she said.
“Mya, this isn’t a surprise; it’s a shock! Also, this is a very important matter. Tell me, whose child is in your belly? Tell me!”
“I forgot.”
Mya was never going to tell anyone that the baby belonged to the wicked man, Fred. After all, she was the one going to raise the baby, but she did not know if she wanted a baby boy or a baby girl.
“No, listen to me. What’s going on in your mind? How could you forget such an important thing?” Blake was worried that someone had violated her.
However, she could not figure out who this animal was, choosing someone with a mental disorder as their prey.
At this point, Kevin was the only person Blake could seek help from. He was the one who sent Mya here, so perhaps only he knew what happened to her.
Blake was angry, but even so, she knew that she had to remain rational.
As soon as Blake picked up her phone, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 954
Blake cautiously went to the door and peeked through the cat’s eye. She was surprised to see that person outside the door. She opened the door and asked, ” Madelyn, what brought you here?”
“Hm? Madelyn? Is Madelyn here?”
Mya’s eyes instantly lit up. She did not even bother finishing the snacks in her hands as she hastily put on her shoe and went outside. She hugged Madelyn and said, “Madelyn, I missed you so much. What took you so long to come here?”
Madelyn was a little out of breath from the hug. “Mya, when did you start living here?”
“I forgot, Madelyn, come inside with me!” Mya dragged Madelyn into the house, but Madelyn refused to move.
“It’s fine. I’m here to tell you something. Mya, you’ve got to go home now. Your mom and dad are…” Madelyn hesitated and stopped talking.
‘Mya is lucky to be alive. Judging by how she looks, she probably doesn’t know that she has been deceived by Fred.’ Madelyn thought to herself.
“What’s with Mom and Dad? Are they angry because I spent too much time playing in Fred’s house? But he has already told Mom and Dad that I went to his house. They shouldn’t be worried about me,” Mya said.
Madelyn looked at Mya strangely. Then, she recollected herself and said, ” Mya, didn’t I tell you not to talk to anyone no matter who they are? If you see him again, make sure you stay far away from him, okay?”
Blake immediately got restless as she raised her voice, saying, “What? Fred?
Was he the one who abducted Mya? Why did Mr. Jardin take her here then? Wasn’t it to take care of her sickness?”
Madelyn frowned and looked at Blake. ‘ It seems like things are more complicated than I imagine.’
Then, she looked at her watch and said, “Mya, can you get me a glass of water?”
“Oh, sure. I’ll be right back.”
“I’d like a warm one. I can’t drink cold water.”
“Don’t worry, I got it.” Mya nodded firmly.
After Mya walked away, Madelyn told Blake about everything. “There’s not enough time, so I’ll cut it short. I still can’t figure out why Fred would want to go after Mya. However, Mrs. Harper came to talk to me before and told me that Mya was taken away by Fred from their house in the middle of the night.”
“What? H-he’s lawless. How could she break into their house and take Mya away just like that? He’s outrageous!” Blake rolled up her sleeves angrily, looking like she was ready to fight Fred.
Madelyn continued, “As for why Mya was brought here, I don’t know. However, I came to tell you to quickly take Mya out of Ventropolis. It would be best if you can take her parents with you too. This place isn’t safe anymore. Zach only put Mya here to threaten me. He’s hurt and unconscious now, and that’s the only reason why I could come here. Zach might not harm Mya, but I can’t say the same about Fred. He’s an extremely dangerous man, and I can’t imagine what he would do to Mya.
“Time’s running out. I’ve got to go!” “Madelyn!” Blake stopped her from leaving.
“What’s wrong?” Madelyn turned around. Blake pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, “Nothing. Take care of yourself.”
Madelyn smiled. “Sure.”
Blake looked at Madelyn’s receding back and thought to herself. ‘Sigh. I guess it’s best not to tell Madelyn that Mya is pregnant. It’s only going to worry her more. Madelyn has already done enough for us.’
George’s car was parked right downstairs. However, Madelyn did not get into the car. If she had guessed correctly, Zach must have installed a tracking device on this car, even on the phone. So, she did not bring anything when she left the mansion, only some important documentation, clothes, and some cash.
She told George to drive to Marisburg’s train station to pick up someone who did not exist. Fortunately, George did not think too much of it and did as she said.
Meanwhile, Madelyn got into a cab and took an alternative route to Marisburg. She was afraid that other people would recognize her, so she wore a mask.
She returned to Marisburg because there was someone waiting for her.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 955
Madelyn sat in the backseat to take a nap. She woke up when the car hit a bump and saw completely unfamiliar surroundings. She asked, “Where are we now, mister?”
“This is Southgate City. We’re almost at Martinsburg. It’ll take around 40 minutes,” The taxi driver answered.
Madelyn requested, “Drop me off here.”
The taxi driver was shocked, “Don’t you want to reach Marisburg? You’ve already paid for the fare, and I won’t be returning it.”
Madelyn replied, “Mhm, that’s fine.”
The taxi driver was pleased and left her at a busy market. By the time Zach wakes up, he would definitely assume she was at Marisburg. Madelyn needed to stay and hide here for a while before returning when the coast was clear. After Madelyn got out of the taxi, she went to a motel that did not require any identification for a room.
“Young lady, it seems you’ve come to Southgate City alone to look for a job. If you want a job, I can introduce you to it. As long as you work hard, five or six thousand a month should be no problem,” the motel owner suggested.
Madelyn did not answer her. After she got the room card, she went upstairs. She then locked all the doors and windows before barring the door.
The weather near the southern area was humid, so the room smelled moldy. Since it was a cheap motel, Madelyn could only make do with the place for a night until she could find another house to stay in. She had taken out all the money from her bank account, which was ten thousand dollars. It was quite a large sum during the year 2006.
The sky had already turned dark, and Madelyn hoped Zach would wake up a little later. It would be best if he did not wake up at all.
However, Kevin had noticed something unusual during the second hour Madelyn had left. He called numerous times, but Zach had not accepted his calls. Zach even sent him messages even though he usually never did so.
At half past five, Kevin immediately called the Southern Haven Villas. When the servants arrived at the bedroom to check on Zach, they found out he was in a coma. They instantly called the emergency line. After that, Zach was carried by the paramedics into an ambulance, and they rushed to SereneCare Hospital.
Kai had a mask on while a nurse followed behind while reporting, “The patient’s neck was bleeding and seemed to be injured by a sharp object. The injury is infected, and he’s currently unconscious.”
Kai asked, “How’s his current condition? Heart rate, breathing, and pulse?”
The nurse answered, “His heart rate is low, and his pulse is weak. If he was discovered a few hours later, he might not have made it.”
Kai’s gaze darkened as he thought, ‘It used to be just tiny arguments, yet they’ve currently escalated to using knives.’
Thankfully, Zach was the one being sent here and not Madelyn. Had it been Madelyn, Kai would have made Zach suffer the consequences.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 956
Kai helped him dress the wound and apply the medication. After giving Zach his IV drop and seeing Zach’s body temperature drop, it was already eleven at night.
Lana was staying in the room reserved for family members of doctors. She had ordered supper and brought some over. Then, she asked Kai, “Is he okay?”
Kai put down the magazine and rubbed his temples before saying, “He’s much better now. He might wake up later. I’ll have to look after him just in case he goes crazy. You should go and rest since it’s already so late.”
Lana grabbed a stool, but Kai swiftly snatched it and placed it beside him. She sat and said, “I’ll keep you company for a while. I’ll leave when he wakes up.”
Kai smiled faintly and held her hand over his lap, “Then you can keep me company for half an hour.”
Lana nodded her head and agreed, Sure.”
After Kevin had finished handling some affairs, he went to Floral Loft. He found out that Mya was missing, and so was Blake. As he drove to SereneCare Hospital, Kevin called Blake many times. After hanging up his last call, his expression turned ugly.
He learned about the situation at Southern Haven Villas and discovered Madelyn was not in the villa. According to the servants, she never came back after leaving in a rush in a chauffeur’s personal car. The car’s indicator showed that it had stopped at Marisburg. It seemed Madelyn had run away again.
Kevin immediately went to Marisburg to report to the police and survey the situation. If they found any signs of Madelyn, the police would immediately take her to the police station. The decision about how to deal with her will have to wait until Zach wakes up. If Madelyn successfully leaves the country, Kevin will be the first to be chewed out by Zach.
The only odd thing was that even though the people at Marisburg strengthened their patrols for every pathway, it still yielded no results even after five hours.
‘Could it be that Madelyn hasn’t left at all?’ Kevin racked his brain and still could not figure out which destination Madelyn chose.
When Kevin arrived at the hospital, it was already past one in the morning. Zach had just woken up from his coma. He wore a blue-white striped hospital gown and was sitting on the sick bed with a pale face. Only Kai was by his side. Kevin had never seen Zach so disheveled before.
Kevin called out, “Mr. Jardin!”
Zach put his fist before his mouth and coughed. His first words were,
“Where is she?”
Kevin already knew who Zach meant. Kevin pursed his lips and reported, Ms. Jent has already left ventropolis. Before she left, she visited the Floral Loft. She must’ve already found Ms. Harper.”
Zach stared at him coldly and asked, ” How did she know of Mya’s location?”
Kevin lowered his head and apologized, “I apologize, Mr. Jardin. It was my mistake. Ms. Jent took advantage of your coma and used your phone to send me a message asking for Ms. Harper’s location. I didn’t think much about it, so I sent her the location. When I was investigating the Harper family’s situation, it turned out the Harper family had left ventropolis.
At the same time, Mr. Harper was being transferred to another hospital. I couldn’t find their whereabouts for now. However, I later discovered that Ms. Jent was located at Marisburg. I asked Ms. Jent’s chauffeur and found out that Ms. Jent had purposely told him to go and pick someone up at the station. Using this opportunity, Ms. Jent left Ventropolis. I’ve already sent people to every station to search for her. If Ms. Jent were to leave, they would find her and bring her back.”
Zach closed his eyes while his fingers spun the ring on his finger. After a long while, he uttered a sentence, “Two days. If you can’t find her, don’t even dream of continuing to work at Jardin Corporation!”
Kai poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the table. He then spoke, ” Madelyn likes freedom and hates being restrained. In addition to your obsessive control over her, it was almost certain that she would leave. As for the reason behind her leaving, it is on you and not to be blamed on Kevin. Kevin has worked for you for so many years. If you truly did fire him, how will you get someone who will work for you as hard as he does?”
Kai glanced at Kevin, who was tense, and said, “Take a seat. Standing around won’t solve any problems.”
Kevin did not move. Kai knew they were both similar in temperament. Kevin was just like Zach since it was Zach who trained him.
Kai continued, “Zach, you should really think about it. Where did the issue between you and Madelyn come from?
Why did she leave? She didn’t even bother caring for you when you were sick. She didn’t even tell the servants. Do you know how serious your condition was? If you were found even half an hour later, you wouldn’t have survived. If you had been in a car accident, I believe Madelyn would have left you without a second thought. We all owe her an apology, so I’m doing everything possible to make it up to her. But you… you really shouldn’t be using other women to provoke her.”
“Even though I know you don’t have any relations with Cecilia, what about Madelyn? She wouldn’t think that at all. The more you have rumors of other women around you, the farther she’ll stay away,” Kai advised.
Zach glared at Kevin and bellowed, ” Why are you here? Go find her for me.”
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 957
Kevin rebuked, “But we still need you to come in and handle the business affairs!”
“I told you to find her!” Zach shouted.
Kevin pursed her lips and nodded, ” Yes, sir.”
Kai chuckled and commented, “You don’t even want your company anymore. You should’ve done this a long time ago.”
Before Madelyn could eat dinner, she fell asleep on the bed. Until she heard a faint noise coming from the door. A woman whispered, “I’m telling you, this woman is something else!” As she talked to the other person, she raised her thumb. It was the motel owner.
The other person was an overweight woman with poorly applied makeup over her face. She was holding a cigarette while a few men were behind her. She replied, “Rest assured, I’ll pay you accordingly if she is up to my standards.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. If not, why would I call you, right?” The motel owner assured her.
The fat woman gave the men behind her a signal, and one of them immediately lit a cigarette and threw it through the peephole. Madelyn smelled an odd scent that slowly grew stronger. When she noticed something wrong, she felt her limbs go weak. Madelyn stared at the smoke outside and tried to open the window while covering her nose and mouth. Just as she got off the bed, her legs gave away, and she crashed to the floor.
After the cigarette stopped burning, the man peeped through the peephole and said, “It’s done, Ms. Maple. The woman has lost consciousness.”
“Open the door and go in,” the fat woman, Laura Maple, said. The man forced open the lock, but the door would not budge.
“She has good danger awareness and blocked the door from the inside. I can’t open the door,” he said. Laura gave a cold chuckle and said, Then break the door down.”
The motel owner exclaimed, “No! I just installed that door!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll compensate you for the door,” Laura said. The man quickly kicked the door several times, and the furniture moved slightly.
Madelyn was still holding onto her consciousness. She tried hard to open her eyes and saw the people who entered the room, but she had not a single ounce of strength in her body.
The man in front knelt down and pinched Madelyn’s face. He said in amazement, “Damn, I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her face and figure are top-of-the-line. The ten thousand dollars is all yours.”
The man eyed Madelyn lustfully and then immediately carried her away. He walked ahead through the quiet alley and put Madelyn, who had lost consciousness, into a car. A few seconds later, a group of police went into the motel for a search.
“My god, Ms. Maple. This woman is amazing!” The man exclaimed. Laura glared at him and said, “You interested? Even if you’re interested, you can’t do anything to her. She’ll be our ace.”
“I always get my first taste of the goods. Why can’t I do it this time? She obviously looks like used goods!” The man argued. He then sniffed Madelyn’s body lustfully.
Then, Laura started rummaging through Madelyn’s bag. Besides an ID card, there was a large pile of cash totaling eight thousand dollars. It seemed like she had really made a good profit today. After Laura took the money, she eyed Madelyn’s bag and had never seen such a brand before.
‘Which godforsaken knock-off brand is this?’ Laura thought.
She did not fancy it, so she threw it into the backseat. She did not know that everything Madelyn wore was tailor- made for her. Just the bag would have been worth at least a million dollars.
Later, Madelyn was woken up by a bucket of cold water. When she woke up, she saw a big fat face. The owner of the fat face seemed to be around forty years old. It was Laura. Then, Laura asked, “You awake?”
Madelyn endured the cold water and sat up against the wall. She saw that her hands were shackled while her legs were chained to a pillar.
“What are you trying to do?” Madelyn asked. Her voice was weak because the effects of the drugs were still lingering.
“We don’t want to do anything. We just want you to behave, or it would be a waste to that pretty face of yours. You don’t seem to be wearing any expensive brands. If you want to earn some cash, I can help you. I can guarantee you will make more than you could ever count, especially for young girls like you. You should take care of yourself and earn some money for your parents,” Laura said.
Madelyn’s face was held between the woman’s hand as she examined Madelyn. The more Laura looked, the more envious she grew. Sadly, she had grown old. If she had Madelyn’s face, she would have thrived and been able to force any men to their knees.
‘Earning money?’ Madelyn thought. It was the funniest joke she’d ever heard of. Laura continued, “Do you see the other girls locked up here? If you don’t behave, you’ll end up just like them.”
Madelyn stared at each cage. The girls were all injured, and some were lying half dead on the ground. A man walked out of the cage while tucking his pants as the abused girl cried while trembling.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 958
Those girls were helpless and in pain, and there was even one who had gone crazy, laughing loudly Madelyn asked, “Make money? How can I make money?”
Seeing Madelyn’s compromise, Laura instructed someone to release her. She thought, ‘She also knows that even if I free her, there’s nowhere for her to escape.
Madelyn remained remarkably calm. She had never encountered these before, and to say she was not scared would be false. However, with no one to help her now, Madelyn had to figure things out herself. She had not expected to go from the frying pan into the fire.
Laura bent and patted Madelyn’s face, ” It’s simple. Just please those men and you can make money!”
Seeing Madelyn not resisting, Laura thought she had found a treasure. She had dealt with many women and knew how to satisfy their vanity, using their beauty to make money. So, Laura took Madelyn to the ladies’ dormitory in the club and presented her with a pile of high-end cosmetics, clothes, and handbags.
She said, “Rest well today. You’ll find out when you entertain the clients properly tomorrow night.”
Laura records a video of Madelyn for about five to six seconds with her phone. In the video, Madelyn’s appearance was striking and elegant, resembling a wealthy girl. She would have thought so if she had yet to see the shabby, unbranded clothes on Madelyn.
Madelyn looked at the phone in Laura’s hand and moved forward, wanting to snatch it away. “Y-You can’t film me!
Give me the phone!”
The man following Madelyn blocked her immediately. Laura smiled as she looked at her, “Girl, I need your video as leverage in negotiating a price with those bosses. Otherwise… who would know you? Don’t worry. As long as you behave, you’ll become a famous star here under my guidance.”
Before leaving, those men cast lewd glances at Madelyn and made inappropriate advances.
Madelyn frowned as she watched them leave. She worried that Zach would definitely find this place if someone spread her video. If he had discovered her here, he would definitely take her back. Madelyn did not want to go back. Even if it meant death, she refused to return with him.
Madelyn tried to leave, but she could not escape with guards outside.
Moreover, her movement area was restricted to this floor. She returned to the dormitory shared by six people, and the bunk beds were all set up. It appeared someone had already used the belongings. She could only sit on the chair and had no choice but to figure a way out slowly.
A day passed, and Zach sat on the hospital bed with closed eyes. The intravenous drip on his hand had already run through the second bottle, but there was still no news from her until the last trace of patience vanished.
Three-thirty in the morning, Kevin said, “Based on the taxi drivers around Floral Loft, the system will soon show those responsible for that region and left Ventropolis. Our technical team is already working on it, and the vehicles are heading to Marisburg.”
Zach held a diary in his hands. ‘It turns out that there’s so many things that I don’t know.’
There was a deep, mysterious look with a subtle chill when he opened his eyes. Assign a group to keep watch in Marisburg and have the others search the nearby areas.”
‘Madelyn, you were smart enough to figure out how to avoid me, but did you really think hiding from me this way will work? It’s so dangerous outside. No one but me can protect you. Why won’t you listen to my advice?”

They thoroughly searched every corner of Ventropolis, tracing the route to Marisburg, and did not overlook any neighboring cities. Upon receiving the missing persons case, police stations received orders, and officers mobilized immediately.
In addition, the security company Zach instructed also went all out to locate Madelyn. It was a comprehensive search, and they almost turned Ventropolis upside down.
Zach stayed up all night, patiently waiting for her news the next day. Kai spoke up because he could not stand it anymore, “I know you’re worried about her, but skipping rest and medication won’t help. If you keep going like this, you’ll be a goner before we find Maddie.
Zach remained unmoved, eyes closed, tightly clutching the ring. Kai never imagined that when Zach fell for someone, he would become so crazy that he did not even care about his life. At this rate, he would end up killing himself.
Kai assisted him with the medication. Just then, Kevin entered, holding something in his hand. “Mr. Jardin, there’s news.”
Zach opened his bloodshot eyes, filled with exhaustion. “Tell me!”
Kevin said, “This bag belongs to Ms. Jent. Yesterday’s investigation revealed that Ms. Jent did give a taxi driver five hundred dollars to drive to Southgate City. It’s about a hundred kilometers from Marisburg, nearly an hour’s drive. This bag was also found in Marisburg by a sanitation worker and handed over to the police. After checking, the police found Ms. Jent’s fingerprints, but there were also others. We suspect someone might have kidnapped her.”
A flash of murderous intent crossed Zach’s eyes instantly, chilling. “Where is she now?”
Kevin replied, “The cops are currently checking surveillance cameras everywhere. We should have news soon.
“I want to know where she is within the hour.” The intensity of Zach’s emotions exacerbated his wounds, causing him to cough. Kai quickly restrained him, “Don’t move, be careful of your wound.”
Kevin’s phone suddenly buzzed. He looked at the message and immediately reported to Zach, “Mr. Jardin, there’s news. Ms. Jent stayed at a hotel recently. The police are on their way there now.”
Zach showed a worried expression. He lifted the blanket, swiftly tearing off the intravenous drip hanging from his hand. “Kevin, get the car ready. I’m going to find her.”
Kai stopped him immediately. “You finally brought your fever down, but it’s starting again. And now you want to rush to Southgate City with a high fever? Do you even want to live?”
Kai knew his words would not sway him much. Just then, Zach pushed away the person trying to stop him. However, unexpectedly, he stopped as he reached the doorway. He felt a darkness enveloping his vision. In a moment, his entire body fell backward. Kevin quickly helped and steadied him.
Kai helped him switch the intravenous drip to his other hand and said to Kevin, “Keep an eye on things in Southgate City for now. I’ll take care of Zach. Hopefully, Maddie will be in front of him when he awakes. Otherwise, his condition will get worse.”
Kevin pressed his thin lips, then answered, “Okay.”
That was the only thing they could do now. They reviewed all the surveillance footage in Southgate City and saw Madelyn getting out of a vehicle and entering an alley with no cameras. The landlady inside was also being questioned in the interrogation room.
The hotel’s landlady trembled as she spoke, “The person in the photo did stay at my place for a night, but she left around three or four in the morning. I even returned her deposit personally. If you don’t believe me, you can check my surveillance.”
When the police checked the surveillance, they found out the cameras had broken long ago and could not find any information. When the time had come, they had no choice but to release the hotel’s landlady.
She asked softly, “Who’s this girl? Is she some missing kid from a rich family?”

The police told her it was not a big deal. “The wife of the CEO of Jardin Corporation got kidnapped while she was out. If you know anything, it’s best to report it immediately.”
“Oh. Sure.” When the hotel’s landlady left the police station, she hurried back home, wasted no time packing her stuff, and prepared to leave. She had no idea the lady she hosted had such a status.
‘If it comes to light, I’d face serious consequences! I’ve been doing this for so many years and never thought it would go south this time.’
After hitting a dead end with the clues, the police began investigating all the vehicles leaving that road. As night fell, an old and grungy place was revealed beneath the glamorous facade.
“Don’t touch me!” Someone took Madelyn into a car. “Where are you taking me?”
Two guys beside her tied her up, and their hands wandered all over her.” You’re lucky. A big shot in Marisburg has taken an interest in you. We’re taking you to meet him. You’d better not pull any stunts when we get there. Listen. If you offend him, I won’t be able to protect you.”
“Alright, you two behave and don’t ruin her clothes.” With that from Laura, the two guys by Madelyn’s side stopped their actions.
The car arrived at a place at seven o’clock after driving for one and a half hours. A suited manager greedily eyed Madelyn. Then, he took her into an elevator and went to the basement. In a small room, she was strapped to a machine inexplicably with her limbs and neck restrained.
“According to the rules, bring her up on stage when the time comes. The commission will still follow the usual rate.”
Madelyn probably caught on that Laura intended to sell her here. After Laura left, she was taken to a place filled with women dressed extravagantly. The door closed in the next second.
Madelyn noticed many people here looked better than her. They had sexy figures, were wearing long skirts, and were applying makeup in front of the mirrors. She even spotted a few younger girls crying sadly in the corner and wearing strange accessories like her.
In this unfamiliar environment, Madelyn had no idea what was going on. Compared to the flustered and sorrowful individuals, she remained relatively composed. Just as she was about to approach and inquire about the situation, two people suddenly blocked her path. “Ms. Garcia wants to get to know you. Come with us.”
They acted all high and mighty. Madelyn furrowed her brow quietly and followed without resisting.
The curtain was pulled aside, revealing an all-dolled-up woman adorned in high heels, an expensive pearl necklace, and long lace gloves. Her face looked innocent and youthful. “So you’re the newcomer? What did you do for a living before?”
She circled Madelyn, ending up in front of her with her arms crossed. Madelyn sensed a hint of hostility in her eyes. One of the others gave Madelyn a shove. “Ms. Garcia’s talking to you!”
