Chapter 1044
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1044 Liam had not left yet and asked, âWhy didnât you give her the latte you bought?â
Blake picked up the remaining three lattes and said, âMadelyn had surgery before and still recovering, so she canât drink this. Besides, itâs been out for so long. If she got sick from drinking it, Mr. Jardin might kill me. You donât know how scary he can be.â
Blake took a deep breath and continued, âItâs up to me to finish it all.
Zach had recently upgraded to a luxurious new Bentley. He spent most of his time by Madelynâs side while making preparations for their wedding. The new car offered a smooth ride and had plenty of space. Besides the drinks and food, it was mostly filled with baby supplies.
Zach asked Madelyn, âHave you met him?â
Madelyn replied, âMhm, heâs quite young. I think Blake is dating Liam. They seem like a perfect match.â
Zachâs expression kept changing throughout the conversation. It turned gloomy at the start before returning to normal.
âYouâre already married, so stop dreaming about him,â Zach said, his tone filled with possessiveness.
However, Madelyn argued straight to the point, âYou have to admit that Liam is very talented. He wrote âAt the Horizonâs Endâ when he was sixteen and published it at seventeen. He then started adapting his stories for various companies. Most importantly, heâs much younger than you.â
Zach was not angry. Instead, he slowly unbuttoned his suit and rolled his sleeves up. He said to her, âI think youâre being cheeky. The Strategic Planning Department secured the rights to adapt Liamâs work.
Theyâre probably finalizing a contract with Sky Studios as we speak. Soon, youâll be adapting Liamâs work on your own. Satisfied now?â
Madelyn lowered her head and thought deeply. She replied, âI canât draw right now. Iâve asked for time off from the studio and taking a break for the next month.â
Zach gave her a warning look and said, âJardin Corporation is funding the entire project for Sky Studios. The pay will be ten times the usual. Are you sure you want to pass?â
Madelyn looked out the window and then looked back at Zach with a smile. She said, âSince youâre so wealthy and generous, it would be a shame not to get the paycheck. Iâll think of it as earning to buy Daltonâs clothes.â
âIf the broadcast for âAt the Horizonâs Endâ reaches the expected result, Iâll give you an extra 35% as a bonus,â Zach said generously. Madelyn thanked Zach jokingly, â Thank you, Mr. Jardin.â
For Madelyn, Zach was sometimes a responsible husband, her brother, and sometimes even her boss.
Sky Studios was just a tiny art studio, and accepting this project from Jardin Corporation was a blessing for them. Many companies have been fighting for the rights to âAt the Horizonâs Endâ and the Jardin Corporation has spent fifty million to acquire its copyright.
Madelyn knew that Zach was using this to bind her down. She did not think Zach had lowered his guard around her throughout this period. He knew she wanted to leave.
She was waiting for the right moment. Zach also knew that she had an accomplice. Although Zach knew that Kai was helping her and about the things they were doing behind his back. Zach was confident that Madelyn would not be able to leave Ventropolis. She might be an elusive prey, but Zach was a skillful hunter.
After Blake was full from eating, she walked out of The Deli with Liam. While waiting for the car, a familiar vehicle suddenly appeared before her. The windows winded down, and Kevin stared at them coldly. He ordered her, â Get in the car.â
