The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 218
Upon receiving the call from the school, Zach immediately canceled the meeting and rushed to the school. ‘Actually, I can handle this matter. Mr. Jardin doesn’t have to be involved,’ Kevin thought.
Then, he said slowly, “Do you really want to expel Danny from school and sentence him to ten years of imprisonment? As far as I know, Ms. Jent caused all of this.”
Zach’s deep gaze fixed on Kevin and then shifted to the floor-to-ceiling window. He sat on the chair, an icy aura emanating from him. “Do you think it’s her fault too?”
Kevin suddenly realized he might have said something he should not have. He lowered his head, “I dare not to.”
“Don’t forget who you’ve been working for these past ten years!” Zach stood up from the chair and cast a cold, piercing gaze at him before turning around and walking away. Kevin suddenly spoke up when Zach reached the doorway, “I only work for you, sir.”
When Zach decided to bring Kevin by his side, Kevin’s life became bound to his. He was the one who had granted Kevin a second chance at life. Zach stopped in his tracks. “I’m not the one paying your salary!”
He thought to himself, ‘Madelyn’s getting more unruly now. I never meddle in her school matters. Self-improvement is good, but it’s just wishful thinking if she thinks she can enhance her skills and escape from the Jent family by using this method! She’s gotten smarter now, but she’s misusing her intelligence. All she’s getting is even harsher punishment.’
In the lounge, Madelyn stood up and avoided Ethan’s gaze. “My brother should have already settled things. I’ll go check.”
Madelyn opened the door, her steps barely pausing, and she held a vial of medicine given to her by Ethan in her other hand.
Zach was smoking on the balcony, probably waiting for her. Madelyn rarely saw him smoke, except during important social situations. Notified by Kevin, Zach extinguished the half- smoked cigarette against the railing.
Madelyn watched Zach walk over, and her gaze shifted to Ethan, who had also come out of the lounge. She felt a guilty conscience for some reason, as if Zach had caught her having an affair.
Zach walked up, and Madelyn found herself sandwiched between them. There was a strange tension between them. It made her feel suffocated as if a battle was silently unfolding. Zach initiated the conversation, saying, “Mr. Arnold, I hope you’ve been well.”
Ethan nodded in response. Though he was a few years younger than Zach, his presence was
just as commanding. However, he was not like Zach. Zach had been in the business world for many years and encountered all sorts of challenges. He had climbed the ranks from the bottom by using ruthless tactics to solidify his position and achieve his goals. He was skilled in manipulation and scheming.
Unlike Zach, Ethan relied on his powerful family. He had lived a sheltered life of luxury since childhood. Even after inheriting the Arnold Corporation, both the Arnold and Young families served as his strong supporters.
Madelyn could not imagine the extent of the bloody battle that would ensue if these two people became enemies. However, Ethan could not outplay Zach in terms of scheming and intrigue. Just like that accident with the big truck last time had been Zach’s doing. Ethan said to Madelyn, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”
Madelyn was afraid to look at Zach and nodded, “Okay.”
“Is something up?” Zach asked Madelyn. Madelyn felt his intense gaze and explained, “Mr. Arnold helped me today, so I invited him to dinner.”
Zach nodded, “Naturally, an invitation is in order. However, it should be me, your brother, who extends the invitation both morally and logically. I’ll take care of the arrangements for tonight. Mr. Arnold, do you mind if I bring my sister along?”
George interjected, “Mr. Arnold!” Ethan waved his hand, signaling George to stop. He chuckled and said, “Of course, that’s fine.”
“See you tonight,” Ethan said gently to Madelyn.
Madelyn nodded, “Okay.” Ethan left and took the passenger seat. His emotions seemed guarded. “Any results for the last car accident?”
