The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 936

Unsure of what Zach was contemplating after being silent for a while, the technician offered another possibility, "If the laptop hasn't been tampered with, another reason could be a sudden power outage. If the battery is depleted and the plug is pulled directly, it can cause an improper shutdown that could damage the system files. To fix the laptop, we have to reinstall the operating system. There's no other way."

What the technician said was something Zach should have thought of earlier. He played a rhythmic pattern on his desk with his fingers. Then, he lifted his wrist to check the time. "Prepare a new laptop for me immediately," Zach ordered, "and notify the senior executives to send copies of all important documents for the year to my email."

Kevin, observing that Zach was not showing much emotion on his face, figured that the laptop's malfunction was probably related to last night's international video conference. He had been taking notes when suddenly, the laptop made a noise, and the screen went black. It must have had something to do with Madelyn.

'A laptop breakdown like that was no minor matter as it contained contracts and agreements worth billions. If anyone else had been responsible, they would have been in severe trouble. But for Mr. Jardin to remain expressionless and unconcerned, it must have been Madelyn's doing. Aside from her, no one else would dare tamper with Zach's laptop, as the important data inside could lead to legal liabilities if lost.' Kevin thought.

After the technician left, Zach tried to turn on his laptop a few more times but without success. He handed the unresponsive device to Kevin and said, "Destroy it."

"Yes, Mr. Jardin," Kevin responded. Then he inquired, "Should I reschedule the morning meeting later?"

"No need," Zach replied.

Kevin left the CEO's office with a nod.

In Southern Haven Villas, while Madelyn was finishing her painting, Margaret brought her freshly made stewed chicken potato soup.

"Ms. Jent, you should rest your hand and eat the soup," Margaret urged.

Without looking up, Madelyn replied, "Just leave it there. I'll drink it later."

Margaret protested, "Oh no, that won't do. Mr. Jardin has instructed that you eat your chicken potato soup every day and insisted that I watch you finish it. He even threatened my bonus if I didn't ensure you did. Plus, the soup is good for your health, especially since you've been going to the hospital so often. You're getting too thin, so you really should have some."

Madelyn preferred some peace and could not stand Margaret's chattering. It disrupted the serenity she cherished. She offered a solution to Margaret's dilemma, "I'll pay you whatever he's offering, and I'll let you off this chore. I really can't drink this now. If you like, you can have it and tell him I've finished it."

Margaret would have liked to take the easy way out, but she refused, "Oh, I couldn't possibly do that!"
