The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 499

To Wincy's surprise, Zach seemed to figure her out with just one look. She had gotten a bit of plastic surgery to change her face, but it was kinda weird that she still looked kinda like the person in that picture. She had done some stuff to her eyes recently, which were a little puffy, but one had to really stare to notice.

Trying not to look too nervous, Wincy crossed her arms and acted cool. "Do we know each other?" She spotted some papers with her pictures on his desk and couldn't help but ask, "How much do you know about me?"

But before Zach could say anything, she grabbed the file folder and spilled the pictures and documents out.

When she saw those photos, Wincy froze. They were all pictures of her from way back, even before she changed her face, from when she was in elementary school to her college days.

Her hands were shaking like crazy. "Wh-Where did you get these? How did you find my old pictures?"

"I told you, when you're checking out someone like me, I gotta know who you are too. It's just being careful, and besides, finding info about a smart international student like you isn't hard." Zach stayed cool, checking his watch. "So, how much longer are we gonna do this? My time's precious, and I can't waste it here with you."

Wincy slammed the table and stood up. "Then tell me the truth. I know him well; he might hang out with the wrong crowd, but he'd never hurt someone for no reason. Ending up in jail like this... is this all part of your plan?"

Zach was running out of patience. "You've got two minutes to decide. Leave on your own, or I'll have someone take you out."

He added, "You've barely been back in the country, and here you are, questioning me without knowing the whole story. Making this situation worse won't help anyone. Think it through and figure things out for yourself."

Zach's words got interrupted by his ringing phone. He glanced at the caller ID, then turned and strolled over to a big window. His face softened a bit as he answered, "Madelyn... Is there something you need?"

Madelyn, on the other end of line, looked at Ethan, who was next to her, and talked slowly, "Tonight, can you and Father come over? We should have dinner and talk about the engagement plans. I know it's a bit of trouble for you." She sounded deliberate, but you could tell she was tense.

Zach gave a small smile. "Of course, I'll be there on time."

"Great, I'll be waiting."

With that, he hung up after just a few short words.
