The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 

That way, Zach would not be able to harm her in the process of getting back at Hayson. 

At this moment, Madelyn seemed to have a sudden realization. In the past, she had not even left Ventropolis. Zach had kept her caged like a canary, trapped in a hollow shell of a marriage. She had become narrow-minded and lacked much wisdom. This might be her only chance. 

Madelyn filled out her college applications, with Ventropolis University as her first choice. She had already decided that before graduating college, she planned to study abroad without Hayson’s knowledge and might return after three to five years. Even if Hayson cut off her financial support, she planned to be able to stand on her own feet by then. Perhaps by the time. she returned, Hayson would have forgotten about her. Or maybe Hayson would be dead, and the Jent family fortune would be in Zach’s hands. Regardless, she would probably be in Rodale State, or maybe Sandspring, enjoying the most beautiful polar nights. 

In her past life, her teacher had never said anything like this to her. But of course, things that happened in her past life would not necessarily occur again. “Perhaps,” she mused, “my destiny has already shifted. If I hadn’t stepped in, Jadie would’ve lived a good life, marrying Zach, having kids, even soothing the regrets and pain Zach carries from his previous life. But now, all I have to do is hold on, just three more years. And compared to the decade of struggles I’ve already overcome, these next three years mean nothing.” 

Madelyn returned to the classroom. The 45-minute lesson was almost over. The back row, originally quite empty, now buzzed with the chatter of Forrest and his buddies. 

As she sat down, Madelyn noticed that someone had messed with her desk. The draft 

paper from the last class was scattered all over the floor. She had no idea what happened while she was gone. But she shrugged it off, as she would be transferring to a different class soon. 

She could choose Ventropolis University as her first choice; she could become Ventropolis’s top scorer this year, but she insisted on switching classes. She was already having a hard time dealing with Zach, and at school, she was bullied by Forrest; she felt like she would go crazy. 

She noticed Forrest was sitting right behind Jadie, with only Adrian and an aisle between her and Forrest. 

Madelyn had not even opened her textbook before the bell rang. The math teacher never kept the class late. As soon as the bell rang, Serena immediately bounded over to Madelyn. Her eyes were sparkling with curiosity. 

“Madelyn, you were gone so long. What did the teacher say?”
