The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 

A fifty odd year-old man stood up as he slammed the table. “What do you mean by that?! Are you saying my sister deserved to die?!” 

“What about me then? Am I deserving of my wounds? I shouldn’t protect myself? Also, that man Danny stabbed, did he deserved that as well?” Madelyn was about to lose her temper. Moreover, it was not like the deceased’s side was at the right, and it was not as if she was. disrespecting the dead. She was just stating the facts of the matter. 

They had been born in the sixties and seventies, an era that lacked education. Moreover, they were rural villagers with little knowledge of the law, so such things were simply incomprehensible to them. 

That was what Madelyn had thought, but it did not mean she was painting broad strokes. Her grandmother too lived in a rural village, and in that age, keeping themselves fed was itself an issue, much less being literate. It only took her grandfather a few sacks of grain to wed her grandmother. 

Her grandmother had married her grandfather at the age of sixteen, and he had been a gangster in the village and had been involved in unsavory businesses. Due to getting into trouble with certain people, he had been beaten to death when he was just 34. 

Even though her grandmother was so unlucky in her early years, she had never blamed anyone and even used whatever meagre strength she had to help others. 

“If they had not come to my rescue that night, I would be the one dead today!” 

“This is not a matter of them being in the right just because they’re dead.” 

Kayley nodded. “I feel that my students have the right of it. Danny’s relatives, we’ve already contacted the police and they will bring him over later. The hospitalized victim is unable to show up, so his friends will come over, as they were witnesses to the incident that night.” 

A woman pulled the angry old man to the side and discussed something in a hushed whisper. 

After a few minutes, the man suddenly spoke. “We actually don’t want to make a big issue out of this, but since a life was involved, let’s make it fifty thousand and we will not pursue the matter any further.” 

“The pursuit of the matter is not your call to make.” An icy voice suddenly rang out. 

Madelyn froze as Zach walked in with one hand in his pocket, radiating a powerful domineering aura as Kevin followed closely behind. 

When Danny’s relatives saw the man with his dark and vicious gaze, all of them were frightened. 

Zach then swept his gaze at everyone around him. 

“Mr. Jardin.” Bjorn greeted him. 

Zach then nodded slightly in acknowledgement. 

“Kevin, take Madelyn back first.” 

“Yes, sir.” Kevin nodded. 

Madelyn pursed her lips. She had never thought of getting him involved. 

‘Who told Zach? 

After Madelyn left, Kevin closed the meeting room door as Madelyn turned around and saw Zach pulling out a chair to sit. 

The matter could have been originally resolved easily, but now that Zach was involved, things would be very different.
