The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 668
“Not even the lady of the house is allowed to enter the study freely,” the maid said. Madelyn thought, ‘As long as the paintings are safe. Some are mementos from Mom.’
Quickly heading downstairs, she found the master bedroom on the second floor empty. However, in Zach’s room, she discovered her treasured paintings, all protected under white cloth.
Emotions surged as she touched them. She picked them up, wanting to move them back to her room, but as she tried to leave, one of the maids blocked her way.
“Miss, I told you; you can’t touch these. Madelyn replied coolly, “Like I said, these are mine. I’m just taking back what’s mine.”
Another maid, clearly annoyed, snapped at the other maid, “Why’re we even talking to her? She seems out of it, probably lost her mind or something. Let’s just get the paintings.”
But before the maids could act, two bodyguards in black suits quickly came up the stairs. They stopped the maids and then said to Madelyn, “The boss said you can decide what to do with this stuff.”
The maids, now brought downstairs, were utterly confused. They tried to speak up but were informed they were fired, effective immediately.
“Why? We didn’t do anything wrong! Why are we being fired just like that?”
The bodyguard said, “Mr. Jardin made the decision. Remember, this is the Jents’ home, and the lady upstairs is part of their family. Be respectful, or you won’t have a job here or anywhere else.”
The other maids went quiet. Having worked there for years, they were familiar with the influential Jent family and the stories about Mr. Jardin’s connection to them. They were surprised to learn that the lady upstairs was the Jents’ daughter, whom they had heard so much about. They had. mistakenly thought she was just another woman Zach was seeing.
Ignoring the noise downstairs, Madelyn framed her new painting, hoping to paint a picture of her mom on it someday.
Zach spent most of his day at Jardin Corporation. Kevin told him that since returning, Cecilia had not shown up at the company and no one knew where she was. Leaving a meeting, Zach saw a familiar face in the CEO’s office through the open door. He motioned for Kevin to stay put and walked in.
Inside, he met Frida, who was there to talk about her daughter.
