The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 639

The night in France looked a lot like Venturia. The city lights shone like diamonds.

Zach gazed at the view from the eighty-eighth floor, his eyes all icy. He had a cigarette hanging from his lips, and he had to block the wind with his hand to light it.

A puff of smoke drifted away from Zach, and Cecilia Samford moved closer, sounding kinda irritated as she asked, "Zach, I've given in to you twice already. What more do you want? You know you can't be with Madelyn."

Cecilia, just like Madelyn, had been reborn. She had thought that by getting involved early, she could get a bigger share of Jardin Corporation after helping Zach start it up, so she could control him. But now, everything seemed to be going all wrong.

Cecilia realized that Zach's connection with Madelyn was tangled and tricky. Even though Cecilia and Zach had been tight in a previous life, now she sensed she was just a piece in his quest for power.

Zach glanced at Cecilia. He noticed that she bore a strong resemblance to Jadie, but Jadie didn't have that authoritative presence.

He couldn't ignore the fact that Cecilia was just as sharp in business as he was. She always seemed to understand his desires. If there were no other options, she would be a solid choice for him.

However, Zach wasn't fond of being controlled, and he didn't appreciate it when someone pushed him. "Right now, it's all about business. Why do you think you have the right to talk about my personal stuff?"

"As your future wife, don't I have that right?" Cecilia replied firmly. Indeed, they were acting like a married couple in the midst of an argument.

A wisp of smoke veiled Zach's dim eyes. He flicked his cigarette, letting the ashes drop into the ashtray. "Are you really that sure I'm going to marry you?"

"Are you planning to burn bridges? Zach Jardin, remember who's been helping you get where you are now. And don't forget the conditions you agreed to before."

Zach tilted his head, sending her a clear signal of warning.
