The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1077
Zach said, “There’s no one. It was just your imagination.”
At that moment, a bodyguard in a black suit approached, “Mrs. Jardin, the person you just saw was me.”
Madelyn was confused, “It was you?”
The bodyguard nodded, “Yes, I was patrolling over here. There was an unusual situation outside the door just now, so I went to check. I apologize for frightening you.”
Zach waved his hand, and the bodyguard left. Zach said, “Is it clear now? I’ve arranged for people to guard the villa these days. That was why you had such illusions.
“Now, let’s go back to eat, okay?”
Madelyn was not convinced. She turned her head to glance as she pondered, Was I really mistaken?”
When she arrived at the entrance, Dalton suddenly ran over with a toy airplane. His running posture made Madelyn worried, “Mama…”
When Madelyn was about to pick him up, Margaret took Dalton, “Ms. Jent, let me do it.”
Madelyn glanced at her hands before withdrawing them, “Okay.”
Zach held Madelyn’s hand and went to the dining table. They both knew her hand injury was from back then.
Now, Madelyn could not carry heavy objects. Her hands would become sore, weak, and tremble if she carried heavy objects after a while.
Margaret had seen Madelyn suddenly loosen her hands when she carried Dalton for a while. Dalton almost fell. Both Margaret and Madelyn were startled.
If it were not for Margaret to hold Dalton in time, he might have been admitted to the hospital. Madelyn could only hold Dalton when she was sitting.
The scars on Madelyn’s body were slowly fading. At night, Zach would apply scar removal cream on her while she slept. Madelyn still had not noticed that the scars on her body had started to fade.
During their meal, a servant suddenly brought an invitation over, “Mr. Jardin, this was left on the table last time. It looked valuable and I didn’t know where to put it, so I put it in the drawer for you.”
Madelyn reached out and took it. This had been sent over along with the reports last time.
She asked, “Are you going?”
Zach nonchalantly rolled up his sleeves before helping her peel a shrimp and put it in her bowl, “Yes. This place doesn’t suit you. Stay at home and wait for me to come back.”
Madelyn curiously asked, “What place is that?”
Zach responded, “Do you want to know? Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”
Madelyn did not know why Zach suddenly acted this way. She immediately returned the item to him and said, “Fine, don’t tell me.”
Zach still told her, “This place is nothing more than a place where money is spent on entertainment, pretending to do a charity event but doing behind-the-scenes activities.”
Madelyn took a shrimp and handed it to Dalton to let him bite it on his own. She asked, “The relevant authority doesn’t care about it?”
Zach replied, “Some things aren’t that simple. And for some matters, once you’re involved, it won’t be easy to get out of it.”
Madelyn did not want to know too much about it. These behind-the- scenes activities were inevitably illegal. She knew that even if she knew that truth, she would not be able to do anything about it.
In such a competitive environment, individuals fought for their own interests to thrive.
Zach and the Jent family had spent many years freeing themselves from illegal activities. Although Hayson had stopped doing illegal activities back then, Zach actually took charge of those affairs for him.
As for what Zach had done, only he knew.
Zach had managed to distance himself from those illegal activities long ago. Perhaps, he had already covered up those illegal activities that he had done.
Madelyn found it laughable that Zach was recognized as a prominent philanthropist.
