The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 683
Zach said, “What the Arnold family did in the past wasn’t any better compared to what I did.
“As the saying goes, to the victor belong the spoils. Mrs. Arnold. Sr., whether you’re truly mentally ill or just pretending to be, you should think carefully. Is the Arnold residence’s land deed more important, or your grandson’s life?
“From what I know, the Arnold family has been struggling financially in recent years. How much longer do you think he can hold on? Huh?
“Tomorrow is the deadline. Think about it carefully. I’ll leave now!” He then smelled a foul odor and frowned. He put his hand in his pocket and left. The setting sun stretched Zach’s shadow as he left through the villa’s gate.
Evelyn was once a person with high status. But now, she had dementia. She had lost control over her bladder and bowels. And without her servant, even eating and drinking had become a problem for her.
Marta hurriedly helped Evelyn change into a clean set of clothes. In the dark room with only one oil lamp lit up, Evelyn regained her senses. Her eyes were clear. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she said, “Go and get the land deed of the Arnold residence!”
When she said this with her eyes closed, it seemed like she had made a significant decision. Marta was surprised, “This is the only thing that the Arnold family has left. If you lose this house, then…”
“The Arnold residence is important, but I can’t just watch my grandson die in front of me. If someone has to die, I’d rather be that person. Do as I say! Go now!”
Most of the Arnold family’s assets had already been sold off. The Young family had been colluding with Zach. In this huge Arnold residence, only Evelyn was guarding it now. Even if she could protect it now, she would not be able to protect it forever. Sooner or later, it would fall into Zach’s hands.
Shortly after Marta left, the clear sound of high-heeled footsteps could be heard from the corridor. Frida then pushed open the door. Evelyn opened her eyes and stared at the person at the door, “What are you doing here? To mock me?”
Frida slowly entered the room as she stared at Evelyn, who appeared as if her days were numbered. Frida responded, “I haven’t forgotten that when you agreed to let Sylvia marry into the Arnold family for that illegitimate child, I was in a similar condition like you, lying in bed.”
Evelyn said, “Get out. I don’t want to listen to you say these things. Get out of the house!”
Frida sneered, “Let me tell you some good news. The daughter-in-law you favored, Sylvia, is already dead. And your son, my good ex-husband, went with her…”
“What did you say?! What happened to him?!” Evelyn was immediately very agitated.
Frida suddenly laughed loudly. In the dim room, the firelight flickered on her face. The emotions in her eyes were complicated, but she showed no signs of happiness. She said, “Sylvia had uremia and died over ten days ago. And your son jumped into the sea hugging her urn.
“Now, only that bastard is alive!
“Owen should’ve been dead long ago. He betrayed me and abandoned my son to go overseas with that bitch. Now, Ethan’s life is in danger… He may not have much time left.
“The doctor said if he doesn’t wake up in the next three days, we should prepare for his funeral. Before Owen died, I called him and told him that Ethan was dying. And I asked him to come back to see him.
“Do you know what he said?!”
