The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 296
Zach didn’t touch the late-night snacks on the table, but he didn’t reach for them. Instead, he opened an unfinished file and kept working. Aren’t these problems from the last semester? You’re part of the Math Olympiad team already. You can handle these, right? If you can’t, they might remove you from the team.”
He added, “If you’re having trouble with your studies, should I find you a tutor?” When Jadie heard his words, her heart sank. ‘Does he also think I’m not as good as Madelyn? I’m not pretty like her, and my family and grades aren’t as good either?’
Zach’s voice grew stern. “I’ve never thought that about you. When did you start feeling this way?” Jadie said, “But it’s true. When I’m around her, I feel like I’m not as good. At school, people always see me as the adopted member of the Jent family. Even my friends only got close to me because of Madelyn!”
Zach reached out and gently touched her long hair. “Jadie, you’re you, and Madelyn is Madelyn. You don’t need to compare yourself to her. To me, you’re amazing. It’s late; don’t stress too much. Get some rest.’ Jadie asked, “And what about you?”
Zach replied, “You go sleep first. I still have some files to review.” Jadie persisted, “Zach, you haven’t rested for days. The future assets of the Jent family will all belong to Madelyn! Why are you pushing yourself so hard for the Jent family?”
Zach’s expression darkened, and he sternly warned, “Who told you these things? Who put these ideas in your head?” Jadie was taken aback, “I’m sorry, I was just worried about you and didn’t want to see you so exhausted.” Zach’s tone grew sharper, “Enough! Don’t say these things again in the future. Now go rest!”
“I… I understand.” Jadie hastily left the study, closed the door, and felt shaken by the encounter. Zach thought to himself, ‘Jent family? Just the insignificant Jent family…’
George told Madelyn that Hayson would take Jasmine back to the Jent residence, so Madelyn naturally headed home.
“George, we already have so many things. There’s no need to bring more,” Madelyn said. George replied, “It’s all Mr. Arnold’s instructions. He’s going on a business trip to Marisburg tomorrow for a week. This is also a gesture from him. Just accept it.”
Ethan had prepared many gifts that required three whole cars to fit. Madelyn silently made a note of it. George accompanied her back to the Jent residence.
Outside the Jent residence, Hayson smiled warmly, as his palm sweaty. He walked up with a smile and said, “Zach has told me about Madelyn’s situation. I appreciate you all taking care of Madelyn these days. When I have the chance, I will personally thank Mr. Arnold.”
George had heard about Hayson’s way of doing things to some extent. He didn’t have much fondness for someone like Hayson. He simply felt it was unfortunate that Madelyn was born into such an environment.
“No need for thanks. My task is done as long as I’ve safely brought Miss Jent back, Goodbye!” “George, take care,” Madelyn called out. George nodded, got into the drove away. car, and Madelyn greeted Hayson, “‘Father.””
Hayson glanced at her, his face devoid of a smile. Instead, he sternly questioned, “You know Ethan Arnold. Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
“I’m sorry, Father. At first, I didn’t know about his identity,” Madelyn lied. “Then tell me, what’s the whole story behind this?”
