The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 607
Preparing for tomorrow’s art exhibition, Madelyn tidied up the venue before heading back to her modest two-bedroom apartment. With her tight budget, she had to share the apartment. Her roommate Lila, busy preparing for tomorrow’s banquet at the shop, would be home late. After a quick noon meal, Madelyn devoted her time to cleaning the apartment, working nonstop until six o’clock. This habit kept her busy nerves calm and her mind from wandering into anxiety. She left the small living room organized and neat.
Around six, Madelyn headed to the supermarket to buy groceries for dinner. She cooked extra, putting the leftovers in the fridge for Lila’s late- night snack. As she busied herself, the day swiftly passed, giving way to darkness. After a quick wash, she drank a glass of water and took two prescribed sleeping pills, soon drifting into sleep.
Meanwhile, on a private plane, Kevin relayed fresh information to Zach,
We’re in touch with a detective agency in France. They’ve found the person who filmed that video. It turns out an art school group was painting in Luxembourg Park that day. The Paris Art Academy just sent a list of soon-to- be graduates, and Ms. Jent’s name is there.
They’ve also discovered she’s been on a scholarship these past four years and works part-time at Cafe Normandie for living expenses. I’ve got her Paris address and contact information here.’
Zach took the file from Kevin’s hand, quickly scanning through Madelyn’s academic and personal records from the past few years. He noticed a list filled with various awards in the award section. In addition, the file contained photographs of Madelyn, evidently taken without her knowledge.
One photo showcased her in a painting studio. She was dressed in a white high- necked sweater, her medium-length black hair resting gently on her shoulders. The light from a nearby window highlighted her vivid features, casting a serene glow on her face.
Another picture showed her in a thin trench coat with a bag on her back, walking on a road lined with grand sycamore trees. As she crossed the street, branches from the sycamores intertwined above, and golden leaves scattered on the ground, painting a beautiful scene.
Despite the picturesque surroundings, a man on a bicycle stared at her passing figure, a moment captured in the photograph. The third image showed her heading to the supermarket at six after returning to her apartment, where she bought discounted seafood. Pinned to the back of the photo was a list of items Madelyn bought all affordable choices.
‘Four years have passed since she left the Jent family behind,’ Zach thought with cold detachment. ‘She believed her life would become much better. But after all the deception, it is clear her life has only moved backward. Is this the ordinary life she yearned for, rejecting her role as a lady and choosing these hardships instead?’
With no expression, Zach set the files down and picked up a stack of thick photos. “Keep monitoring her. Report any information immediately,” he ordered. Kevin nodded, “Yes, Mr. Jardin.”
Over the years, Zach never gave up searching for Madelyn. Finding her in another country without any help was very difficult. Even though he had amassed wealth and owned several international companies that helped search for information about Madelyn, she remained elusive.
These companies would report immediately if she ever applied for a job or had an interview with them. Unfortunately, Madelyn had been working at a small cafe, a place outside their ownership. That was why there had been no news of her all these years.
Kevin could not understand why Zach was so eager to find Madelyn. He already controlled the Jent family. He could make everything that the Jent family owned in Ventropolis disappear with his power. But he had protected the Jent residence. He also owned all of the Southern Haven Villas.
