The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 843

Leonardo replied, "I'm simply stating the facts. You invited me here, and here I am. My presence isn't without purpose."

The nearby reporters stirred, their initial reason for attendance overshadowed by the unfolding drama—they sensed a significant story.

Just then, a sleek Rolls-Royce glided to a stop at the entrance. A man emerged, impeccably dressed in a suit, his polished leather shoes clicking against the white steps. His steps weren't loud, but they resonated, drawing all eyes to him.

A wave of surprise swept through the onlookers as they shifted their attention to the entrance. The question hung in the air among them, 'Is that the CEO of the Jardin Corporation?'

Zach's presence was commanding, his intimidating aura palpable as he approached, a hand casually tucked in his pocket, while a chilly breeze trailed behind him, making everyone around shudder.

"Kevin," Zach's voice cut through the cold.

Kevin responded, "Yes, Mr. Jardin."

Approaching Serena, Kevin relayed, "Ms. Smith, Mr. Jardin has come to reclaim an item you allegedly took from Ms. Jent."

Serena's composure wavered, and she instinctively stepped back at Zach's approach, her reaction a mix of intimidation and perhaps a hint of guilt.

"I don't know what you're referring to!" she countered, her voice tinged with panic. "I've been accused of theft, yet there's no proof. Without evidence, these claims are groundless, and I won't hesitate to involve the police if this continues."

Kevin replied, "Being stubborn at this point won't benefit you at all. Mr. Jardin has already given you time, but you remain uncooperative. And I'd like to advise you one last time—return what does not belong to you."
