The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 217
Madelyn simply nodded. He really was a gentle person, even willing to put down his work to help her resolve her problems. Madelyn knew what sort of status he held in Ventropolis, and he did not need to show up for trivial matters like this, but yet he still came…
The more he treated her well like this, the more burdensome Madelyn felt. She could never provide a response to his feelings.
She was still too young now, and so was he. The future was still full of possibilities. After all, no one knows what the future holds…
There were plenty of women who would pursue him, and compared to him, Madelyn felt like a dime a dozen.
If it was due to her actions that time of pulling him back from the brink and saving his life, he had already repaid that debt of kindness long ago. The birthday present and everything else he had prepared for her was the biggest surprise she had received in both her lifetimes….
Madelyn had never wanted anything from him since the very beginning. Ethan also disrupted her plans for her life. She could never be with him, but Ethan also held a deep obsession towards her. No matter how powerful he was, even if he could snatch her from the clutches of the Jent family, she would simply be moved from one cage to another.
She no longer dared to entrust her life on another person. “Does it feel better?” Ethan gently held her fingertip as his lips drew close and blew cold air onto her wound. It felt a little chilly but comfy.
With her fingertip stretched out, this was the first time she could clearly see the tattoo on the back of his hand. It was a bit similar to the one Forrest had, but it did not seem to be any sort
of pattern.
“Is there any meaning to that tattoo?” She asked.
“Nope, it was just a spur of the moment decision.”
It did not look that way to Madelyn. She felt like there was some sort of story behind it, but she did not probe any
further.
About an hour later, Leyton walked out from the meeting room. He took part in the
negotiations himself since his CEO had asked him to, but he was of little use there as he knew what sort of people the Jent family were.
He pondered, ‘Zach Jardin hides daggers behind his smile. He didn’t show them any shred of mercy and wanted to drive all those people to the brink. A few of Danny’s relatives had
instantly prostrated themselves before him, and yet Zach showed no mercy at all. An eighteen- year-old boy had even fainted on the spot after a few words from Zach himself.
‘As expected of Hayson Jent’s son.
‘Everything the Jent family has done in the past is all of the dirty and underhanded sort. Who knows whether the Murdoch family will even leave the school compound alive?’
George rarely saw such an expression on Leyton’s face. “Did the negotiations break down?” “Everything went swimmingly. The chief’s not out yet?” Leyton shook his head.
“Just wait a little longer. Sir rarely gets to meet Miss Madelyn, after all.”
Even Kevin did not know what had possessed Zach today. The Murdoch family were just a couple of nobodies, yet he pushed all of them against the wall.
Moreover, the other party was still just a child, so Zach was acting a bit too cruel.
If Zach were to have his way in the negotiations, Danny would be an outcast in Ventropolis for the rest of his life.
