The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1058
Madelyn smiled as she spoke, “Blake, don’t become a pawn in their power games. You’re a kind soul. Perhaps it’s best for you to leave Jardin Corporation. If Kevin makes it difficult, I’ll speak with Zach. And between Kevin and Liam, Liam is your better choice.”
Blake, still grappling with the complexities of office politics, listened intently. Madelyn’s insight into the power dynamics at play, particularly the unfolding rivalry between Zach and Cecilia, highlighted the precarious position Blake found herself in. Departure seemed like a prudent option.
Madelyn left after tending to Blake’s injuries and advising her to take care. As Madelyn entered a waiting Bentley, Blake sat there and tried to digest Madelyn’s advice.
In the car, Zach placed a blanket over Madelyn’s legs, his concern evident. He commented, “You care for everyone, yet you often neglect me.”
Madelyn, unfazed, replied, “You have plenty who’d dote on you at a moment’s notice.”
Zach drew her close and said, “Isn’t being with you around the clock enough, Mrs. Jardin?”
Madelyn spoke bluntly, “I don’t want Blake to be caught in the crossfire of your battle with Cecilia.”
Zach’s stern gaze met Madelyn’s as she warned, “Cecilia’s trying to prove she’s the right Mrs. Jardin. But the fallout affects more than just you two. You have responsibilities. People’s livelihoods depend on your choices. It’s risky.”
“Enough!” Zach snapped, his eyes angry. “I don’t need your input. Just be my happy bride, and I’ll handle Cecilia.”
Cecilia was always a formidable adversary in both love and business. She was not someone to be underestimated.
Madelyn wondered if Cecilia and Zach had a fulfilling relationship in the past life. Perhaps he had achieved his dream of a family. Otherwise, his vast fortune would have had no heir.
In this life, however, Zach was not fighting alone. In less than five years, he accomplished what took a decade in his previous life. Undoubtedly, Cecilia’s love for Zach was deep. Otherwise, her love would not have turned to such deep resentment.
Zach knew Madelyn was pretending to agree with him and preferred her to keep up the act. He was angry not because of an outsider but because Madelyn pushed him toward Cecilia.
Blake had an epiphany from watching two stray dogs fighting on the street. She grabbed the medicine Madelyn bought for her and stormed into Kevin’s office.
