The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 497
“Don’t you think it’s too early for wedding dress shopping, Ethan? We’re not even engaged yet,” Madelyn asked.
Ethan replied gently, “Nah, it’s never too early for that. Getting engaged and married is just a matter of time.”
The manager noticed something was up between them and gave a friendly smile. “Miss Jent has a point. She’s still growing. If we order the dress now, it might not fit later, and that wouldn’t be good for the big day. How about we wait until you set a wedding date before we go dress shopping?”
Ethan ran his thumb along the back of Madelyn’s hand, thought for a moment, and said, “That sounds like a plan. Let’s wait for your father to get here today, finalize the wedding details, and then we can go find that perfect dress.”
Madelyn beamed, “Sounds good to me! Meanwhile, Kevin knocked on the door and walked into Mr. Zach Jardin’s office at Azure Corporation. “Mr. Jardin, there are some papers that need your signature for the construction costs.”
Zach glanced at the documents and signed them without looking up. Kevin continued, “Mr. Jent is coming back today, just as you instructed. Everything in the Jent residence is set. We’ve hired eight new servants, including a nutritionist, to take care of Mrs. Jent’s needs. I’ve got all their profiles here.”
Zach replied without lifting his head, ” You don’t need to show me those.”
“Could you run me through my schedule?”
“Sure thing. In two hours, you’ve got a meeting about that new project in Alma. Then, at around six tonight, there’s a dinner with our partners in the development project, and the guest of honor is Mr. Webster from Wave Corp.
“As for the Regal Corporation issue, well, Randall Burton, who used to own most of their shares, passed away. His funeral was yesterday, and his shares have been transferred to your other identity. Right now, Regal Corporation doesn’t have a leader. According to our investigation, Randall’s sister, Wincy Burton, who has an MBA, has come back from Australia to take charge temporarily.
“Before Randall passed and his shares were transferred, it seems Wincy became suspicious of something. She’s looking into the cause of her brother’s death and…about your identity.”
Just then, Kevin’s phone buzzed with a message alert. He checked it, and his expression changed a bit. “Mr. Jardin, the new CEO of Regal Corporation,
Wincy Burton, wants to meet with you.”
“Wincy Burton?” Zach put down his pen, drummed his fingers on the desk, and leaned back in his chair. “What do we know about her?”
“Here’s her file.”
Zach, sporting gold-rimmed glasses and black shirt sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular arms with prominent veins, casually flipped open a page with a photo on it. His gaze grew more intense as he studied it.
Kevin filled in the details, “Randall might have had a shady reputation, but he was always good to his sister.
They’ve been there for each other since their parents passed away when they were young. Considering her brother’s death, Wincy Burton is not likely to let it slide easily.”
Suddenly, the receptionist’s voice came, “I’m sorry, Miss Burton, but without an appointment, you can’t go in. Mr. Jardin isn’t in his office.”
“Move out of my way.” With a swift motion, the office door swung open with a loud crash. A tall woman dressed in flowing chiffon clothes and sporting sunglasses entered the room.
The security guard, clearly shaken, stammered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jardin. I couldn’t stop her.”
Zach waved his hand dismissively. “No worries. You can go.”
