The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 538

However, as Leyton delved deeper, the complexity of the situation began to unfold, and the disparity between the Madelyn in the past and the girl he was investigating was jarring. 'Despite everything, she betrayed Mr. Arnold by having affair with Zach Jardin, and all seemingly to profit Azure Corporation,' he ruminated.

But the more he thought about it, the more Leyton found the timing suspicious. 'Right before the engagement? All these revelations? It's too convenient, isn't it?'

From his research, Leyton had in his possession solid proof of Madelyn's communications and liaison with Zach. Each piece was solid enough to have Madelyn condemned, yet Leyton couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, even though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The very idea that Zach, heir to Hayson and trained by such a cunning man, would leave incriminating photos so easily accessible was puzzling. 'It's too easy. Why were these image files unprotected. What's even stranger is that the inbox contains only these photos, without any other correspondences or documents...'

The Jent family had skillfully evaded the police's covert scrutiny into their illicit endeavors for two decades. To Leyton, unearthing these photos without much effort was almost too good to be true.

In the evening, Ethan, thoroughly intoxicated from drinking, risked driving while unwell and made his way back to the Arnold residence.

There sound of 'bang' echoed as he slammed into the front door.

Midway through her meal, Madelyn jumped at the abrupt disturbance.

A servant darted to the door, eyes widening at the ruined entrance. "Oh, dear! The door!"

Setting aside her plate, Madelyn approached and instantly recognized the indentations left by a car's front bumper.

The servant opened the door and found the familiar car, now wrecked. Ethan stumbled out of it, his clothes disheveled, his face a patchwork of bruises and dried blood, as if he had been in a fight.

Rushing to his side, the servant exclaimed, "Mr. Arnold! What happened? Why are you hurt?"
