The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 252
Having learned from the previous lesson, Madelyn returned home before eight at night. Before
that, she also went to the hospital to get her stitches removed. Her wound was healing and had scabbed over. It was prominent
but thankfully it did not reopen just from minor pressure or
movement.
The atmosphere in the study of the Arnold residence was tense. Ethan was sitting at the desk. After the video conferencing
ended, he lifted his eyes to look at the person standing in front of him, who was dressed in an untidy school uniform. Ethan
asked, “You haven’t been home these days. What’ve you been doing out there?”
“What else could I be doing? Don’t you already know?” Forrest tilted his head as he replied, reaching into his pocket and
fidgeting with the lighter inside.
Ethan lazily leaned back. He responded, “You’re right. Indeed, I do know everything that you do. I have people watching you, but
not because you’re a threat to me. It’s just to keep you from causing me trouble out there. Do you really think you can do
anything you want just because you’re from the Arnold family?”
Ethan added, “When I was in the company today, I received a lawsuit from the legal department saying you were involved in
bullying and fighting in the school...”
He then grabbed the document from the table and threw it directly in front of Forrest.
He continued, “I’ve been busy with work lately and haven’t been keeping an eye on you. I thought you’d behave well, but you
gave me such a big surprise, huh?”
Forrest smiled as he picked up the document from the floor. He responded, “It was just a joke between schoolmates. Brother,
don’t listen to their one-sided story.”
He said the word “brother” very smoothly.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door. A beautiful woman in her thirties walked in,
carrying two glasses of milk and some pastries. “I noticed you’re still busy working, so I made you some pastries. I’m not sure if
they’re to your taste.”

Sylvia was a middle-aged woman, but she had taken excellent care of her skin, so she looked to be
in her early thirties at most. She had a gentle expression and the unique charm of a woman from Jadence. She had seductive,
foxy eyes which Forrest had inherited.
The arrival of Sylvia made the unsettling atmosphere even more tense Ethan never hid his hatred toward her.
“Who let you in? Get out!”
Sylvia did not lash back at Ethan Instead, she tenderly said, “Did Forrest do something wrong again? Forrest, kneel down and
apologize to your brother, quick”
Forrest furrowed his brow and lowered his gaze before quietly looking at Sylvia, noticing there was a hint of pleading in his
mother’s eyes.
Forrest licked his lips and gave a sarcastic laugh before kneeling down in front of Ethan
Sylvia turned around and said, “Ethan, Forrest has kneeled down. He knows he’s in the wrong He’s still young and immature.
Please forgive him this time
Ethan scoffed, “You two are indeed mother and son, both so used to kneeling down Looking at Forrest, he continued, “Since you
like kneeling so much, get lost and kneel down outside You’re only allowed to get up once this matter is resolved”
Sylvia walked forward to support Forrest, “Forry, listen to your brother”
Forrest had not spoken a single word since Sylvia came in He stood up and immediately left the room as Sylvia followed behind
him.
After the study door was closed, Sylvia looked at Forrest with pity “Sorry I’m so useless and made you feel like you were in the
wrong.”
Forrest finally spoke, “It’s okay, just go back to your room. I’ll find a way to deal with this”
Sylvia assured him, “Don’t worry, Owen isn’t home today, so I’ll accompany you ”
“What can you do by staying here?”

Sylvia tried to respond, but instead had to cover her nose and mouth as she turned her head to the side and started coughing
“Have you taken your medicine?” Forrest asked, concerned.
Sylvia had suffered from asthma ever since the incident back then, but as long as she was careful,
it rarely flared back up.
“Don’t worry, I’ve taken it.”
