The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1014
Madelyn’s eyes, which had shone with recognition, gradually lost their light as she apologized, “Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”
The young man, seeing Madelyn walking away, hurried after her on his motorcycle. “Miss, where are you going? Let me give you a ride. Or maybe I could get your number?”
Madelyn meandered without direction. “I’m married. My husband would be angry if he knew about this.”
The young man expressed a hint of regret. “Oh, that’s too bad.”
Madelyn offered a weak smile, observing his troubled expression. To an outsider, it might have seemed like the young man had fallen for her at first sight and was now heartbroken to learn she was married.
Despite the faint smile on Madelyn’s face, her eyes remained unemotional. She said, “Go home, young man. At your age, studying should be your priority.”
A black car stopped in front of Madelyn. The window lowered, revealing Frida, who took off her sunglasses, revealing a weary face. She said, “Get in the car!”
Madelyn felt mostly surprised seeing Frida because Frida had been unheard of since the last press conference.
Then, Frida brought Madelyn to the Blue Note Café. To keep a low profile, Frida wore glasses and the bodyguards sat at the tables nearby.
The server brought Frida a coffee and Madelyn warm water. Once alone, Frida said, “Zach did everything to get rid of my daughter and son, all for you! How do you feel about that?”
Frida’s voice was steady yet shaky. Losing both her children overnight had devastated her. In just two weeks, she appeared to have aged significantly.
“Whether I feel comfortable isn’t for you or me to decide. Zach’s interest in me could be fleeting. This position might soon change hands!” Madelyn gently touched her cup. “Do you believe in karma, Ms. Young?”
Frida, caught off guard, was speechless.
Madelyn put down her cup and looked up. “What Zach did will haunt him, not just you. Ethan’s death saddens me too. But I believe Yvonne and Ethan might still be alive. I think you’ve suspected this for some time.
“You risked a lot to meet me today. If you want to say something, be quick. He has me under surveillance and it won’t be long before arrives.”
Frida found the situation ironic. Her daughter had loved Zach for years, and now she had lost her life because of Madelyn. Frida remembered her daughter’s happiness at marrying the man she loved, her dreams of being a perfect wife.
Frida warned with repressed anger in her eyes, “You better hope they’re alive. If they’re dead, I’m coming for you, Madelyn. Yvonne was my treasure. I gave her everything. Now, it’s all ruined because of you!”
Madelyn was suffering in her own way. She thought about how Frida had sacrificed everything for her daughter. Madelyn wished her parents were still alive.
Madelyn said, “Honestly, I’ve always envied Yvonne for having a mother like you, always there for her. She lived freely, knowing she had someone to fall back on, even if she erred.”
Frida retorted sharply, “Don’t be hypocritical! I’ve seen too many like you, saying one thing but meaning another!”
Madelyn looked down, her lips curving slightly, and remained quiet.
Then, Frida slid an old black recorder and a document across the table.
“What’s this?” Madelyn inquired.
“Just listen to it! Madelyn, you and your family are contemptible! Yvonne uncovered this scandalous secret and paid for it with her life. Let’s see you keep smiling after listening to this!” said Frida. She also left a document on the table.
After Frida’s departure, Madelyn contemplated the recorder. ‘Yvonne must have found out something about Zach and gotten into trouble. What was it?’
Madelyn opened the document and saw a DNA test report involving her and Zach. She quickly looked at the results at the bottom.
