The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 664

Zach lit a cigarette. Ever since Madelyn left him, he had picked up smoking. Now, he could not quit. "The details don't matter."

"Did you kill Randall?" Frida asked.

Yvonne glanced over. She knew Zach had secrets, and he always intrigued her.

Zach replied, "Ms. Young, without evidence, murder accusations are just talk. But today, we're discussing money."

Owning that oil field gave Zach a significant edge. The Young family had diverse businesses; the oil industry was their latest focus. Their partnership with the Burton family was postponed because of Randall's imprisonment. When Zach revealed the deal today, it took Frida by surprise.

Frida grew concerned about Zach potentially rising to prominence in Ventropolis. She could not believe it. While the Burton family was in chaos, trying to track down the businesses Randall owned, Zach had managed to secure the oil field worth over $10 billion—a prize the Burtons had their eyes on. Frida felt conflicted. On one hand, she desired the oil field; on the other, striking a deal with Zach was risky. But Frida recognized that bold moves could lead to substantial gains in business.

"Ms. Young, think it over," Zach urged.

Frida's eyes narrowed, looking suspicious, "Why approach us when you could've gotten over $1.5 billion from the bank?"
