The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 514
“Fred, get her back to safety.”
Fred heard the man say in the earpiece. However, he chose to ignore the command. Madelyn said, “I’m more valuable than her. I’m Hayson Jent’s daughter. Leave Mya alone.”
Mya looked pitiful. She had tears streaming down her face. “Madelyn, I’m… I’m not scared. Don’t come closer.
“It’s you! You’re all from the same side, Duncan looked at Madelyn with a hateful gaze. Suddenly, he laughed sinisterly. “I had a hard time finding you. Come over here. Don’t try anything, or else… You know the consequences.”
Mya shouted, “No… Madelyn, no!”
Madelyn consoled her, “It’s fine. I won’t let anything happen to you, Mya. Zach shouted, “Fred!”
Just as everyone had their attention on Madelyn, Fred said calmly, “If she dies, you won’t have any weak points left. I won’t let anyone become your weak point.” “You know the consequences of defying me!” said Zach.
Duncan was one of the men who had sexually assaulted Jadie eight years ago. Back then, Zach did all that he could to track Duncan down. However, Duncan still ended up getting away. Now that he had finally shown up, he would not be able to escape even though he had completely changed his looks.
Duncan managed to pull what he did today purely out of luck. “Alright. Come here. You better not try anything,” said Duncan.
Kennedy-who was behind Madelyn- gave Lem a look. Lem nervously swallowed. Madelyn walked over, and Duncan released Mya. Just as Mya and Madelyn exchanged places, Fred-who was masked- suddenly spoke.
“We’ll spare you for the sake of the young lady. You better run as far as you can because if we get you, you won’t be this lucky again,” he said as he turned around to leave.
The two left promptly. Duncan released Madelyn. Suddenly, he lifted his knife and charged at her.
“Die!”
BANG!
A gunshot ran out. Madelyn shut her eyes in fear. Before she could see what had happened, someone fell to the ground. Then, she was pulled into someone’s arms. The person’s embrace was familiar and soothing.
“Sorry… I’m late,” he said. Madelyn felt relief washed over her once tense body, “That… That was terrifying!” Ethan hugged her tightly. “You’re alright. You’re alright now…”
If it were not for the bodyguard Ethan had secretly put by Madelyn’s side, he would not have rushed over this quickly. He did not dare to imagine what would have happened if he had arrived a moment later.
“Leyton, clean this up.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ethan took off his blazer and draped it tightly over Madelyn. Then, he led her away.
“Mya… She’s…” Madelyn said.
Ethan replied, “Leyton’s here. She’ll be fine.” Madelyn turned to look at Mya. She had already fainted and was being supported by Kennedy.
Duncan’s death was gruesome. His brain matter was splattered all over the floor, leading to Mya fainting at sight.
The cops arrived at the scene, and Leyton stayed behind to give his statement as a witness. Meanwhile, the bodyguards took the unconscious Mya to the hospital.
The cops sealed the area with barricade tape to prevent others from entering. Fortunately, there were not many people in school at the time.
By the time the students from Ventropolis High School had gotten off school and walked out, the crime scene had already been cleaned up. Madelyn was terrified.
‘If Mya had not pushed me away, he wouldn’t have spared me nor given us the chance to get a breather,’ she thought.
