The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 

Madelyn knelt on the cold white ceramic title as the floor glimmered. She looked at the scratching scar on her face and gently stroked her hand over it, feeling a tingling sting. 

The study was awash with the smell of sandalwood and her nose felt a little uncomfortable. 

At this moment, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and she immediately knelt straight up and clutched her clothes tightly. She knew what was coming for her next. 

Soon, the door was opened as Hayson walked in with Zach and Jadie following behind. 

“Do you know what you’ve done wrong today?” Hayson walked past Madelyn and lit candle in prayer.

Madelyn lowered her head as Zach’s silhouette enveloped her by the corner of the atmosphere in the study was oppressive and made her breathless.

She said meekly. “I shouldn’t quarrel with my classmates.” 

Hayson took the cane down from the wall and walked toward Madelyn as he faced the cane

Madelyn was trembling in fear and as she heard Hayson’s voice from above. “Nine million from the three agreements, and including my own money, thirteen million. Do you think I should use discipline on you or not, Madelyn?”

“Turn around.” 

Madelyn shifted around. There was no one to save her now. ‘Zach?’ 

She had never counted on him to help her. 

Hayson raised the cane up high and swung down with a powerful stroke. The first strike sent a general numbness across Madelyn’s back. She could not feel the pain at first, but when the second strike landed, she could feel the skin of her back tearing apart, then came the third,

Madelyn held on and did not cry in pain, nor did she allowed a tear to be shed… 

She had already long shed all of those worthless tears away. 

By the twenty-third stroke, Madelyn could no longer feel any pain. 

Thirteen million… 

This amount of money was worth more than a person’s life in Hayson’s eyes. She had seen his will and all of the inheritances were to be given to Zach.

Jadie held tightly onto Zach’s hand, lowering her head and not daring to look.
