The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 247

Madelyn said, “Remember, I come from the Jent family, the one you all talk about having shady dealings, the one you hate ”

Advancing slightly, she lightly tapped the boy’s cheek with the bank card, her voice icy, “Go ask your dad if he’d dare to challenge the Jents! And don’t forget, those three girls who crossed me…” She paused for effect. “Where are they now?”

Her words triggered a moment of realization among many as memories resurfaced about what had befallen those girls who had messed with her.

The Linney family had teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, and Mrs. Linney had received a five- year sentence for her past actions. Michelle Linney had vanished from sight as well. Jenny Lupert and Lorrie Lamprey’s families were in even direr straits. Rumors said that they were burdened with debts amounting to millions and had fled.

Madelyn’s words stirred a shift in many expressions. All of them inhabited the same privileged sphere, they understood all too well if any family’s business had crumbled or faced legal woes.

Perhaps most had some form of business partnership with these families and had felt the repercussions to varying degrees. They couldn’t claim ignorance.

The boy who had extended the bank card tried to downplay it, “We were just having fun, no need to take it so seriously. Madelyn, we were classmates once, loosen up.”

Certain individuals simply clung to the belief that their wealth elevated them above others.

“Do you really find pride in bearing the Jent name?” A chilling voice cut through the crowd as Timothy Johnson approached. A path cleared for him. “I swear, one day, your family will fall!” he proclaimed.

So many had died due to Hayson’s covert actions. Ten times the death penalty would barely suffice for the enormity of his crimes.

If Hayson Jent was a cancer in the city, the Johnson family would act as the cells battling against the Jent family.

Madelyn walked past Timothy, clutching the boy’s bank card, and nonchalantly tossed it into a

With Hayson away on vacation, Madelyn finally found respite. She spent two or three days in her apartment, relishing the rare moments of relaxation. For once, no one was telling her what to do.

During these days, she didn’t go anywhere. She mostly stayed home, passing the time idly. Suddenly, the tranquility was disrupted by the sound of knocking. Uncertain about the visitor’s identity, Madelyn initially hesitated, not inclined to address the intrusion.

The knocking persisted, growing more insistent. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

With reluctance, she roused herself and headed to the door. To her astonishment, it was Zach standing on the threshold. A brief moment of hesitation hung in the air.

Madelyn avoided direct eye contact with him. She turned and went back inside, sitting on the floor to continue her drawing. There were cushions and a blanket spread on the floor, keeping the chill at bay.

Zach stepped into the apartment, surveying the surroundings. The living room and kitchen seemed old but were neatly arranged. A few unwashed dishes lingered in the sink.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a glow on Madelyn. She sported a fluffy white nightgown adorned with a hat that sported two whimsical ears.

Madelyn’s sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing her hands gripping a paintbrush. The paint had seemingly found its way onto her hands, attire, and even the floor.

“Doing this after getting kicked out of school?” he asked, his tone not revealing his emotions.
