Madeline recalled the cigarette she had gotten from Jeremy's cigarette box that time. She had taken the cigarette to run a components test on it.However, too many things happened all of a sudden after that. Both her parents passed away, and it was Jeremy who caused their deaths. She had fallen into chaos all of a sudden and totally forgot about the test.After Fabian and Ryan left, Madeline returned to the room to watch over Lillian.When she thought about Lillian wanting Jeremy to carry her after she fell down but only saw him turn a blind eye to her, the little girl must have felt very upset.Although the child was still young and could not express herself well, she would still be able to sense that Jeremy did not like her.Madeline felt more and more suspicious.‘How did a person become so cold-blooded? The answer might be lying within the cigarette.’Madeline stayed with Lillian the entire night and fell asleep unknowingly.When she woke up the next day, she saw that Lilli
Madeline walked straight toward Jeremy. She could see no one else in her eyes.Jeremy did not know why Madeline had come to see him, but he still felt happy to see her.It was just that the moment Madeline came over to him, she raised her hand and slapped him heavily across his face.Jeremy, with his tilted face, appeared lost.Everyone was dumbfounded. They were silent for a while without even the slightest sound in the entire meeting room.After witnessing this scene, Ken was stunned for a few seconds as well. Then, he immediately requested everyone in the conference room to leave before following suit himself. He closed the door as he exited.Instantly, there was only Madeline and Jeremy left in the meeting room.Jeremy raised his slender fingers and touched his beaten cheek. Then, he stood up and looked at Madeline whose expression was cold. Her glare was prickly as well."Miss Montgomery, I’ve said it before that I don’t want to see you again. Why are you still looking for
Sh*t!Lana immediately got angry out of embarrassment. She abruptly raised her head, but as soon as she did, Madeline slapped her face with a loud smack."Argh!"Lana cried out in pain again, then had the back of her neck clamped tightly once more by Madeline.She could not move at all and was entirely unable to even stand up."What are all of you doing, being frozen there?! Drag this woman away from me!"Lana instructed the bodyguards, but Fabian did not give her the chance to do so. "No one is allowed to touch her!"The bodyguards who were just about to take action on Madeline quickly stopped and Lana became irritated. "Have you become stupid, Fabian?! I’m your biological sister. How could you help this woman instead?!”"I’ve said it before, I don't have a sister like you.""You...""Moreover, this is a grudge between both of you women. How can us men interfere with this matter?" Fabian shrugged and walked toward Lana’s side nonchalantly."Miss Lana Johnson, haven’t you al
Lana fell into the swimming pool with a splash, stirring up layers of waves.She knew how to swim, but because she had been shoved into the water for so long by Madeline just now, she accidentally swallowed a lot of water. She had also expended a lot of energy during her struggles. She did not have much energy left to swim.While she was trying to get out of the pool, she was violently pulled by Madeline on her collar.Before Lana could catch her breath, her breathing was restricted once more.She opened her eyes that were blinded by the water and saw the cold light bursting out of Madeline's eyes."Listen, Lana, if the law can't punish you, I will do so myself! Do you really think that you have nothing to worry about just because you have the Stygian Johnson Gang supporting you? I’m telling you now. As long as I’m alive for even a day, I’ll definitely do everything possible to send you to jail! Unless you kill me first!"After Madeline finished speaking her words, she threw Lana
Jeremy looked at her with interest. "What is it?"Lana stepped to the side, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. She thought for a moment before suddenly asking Jeremy, "Jeremy, do you know of anyone else with considerable influence who secretly protects Eveline? Apart from her parents, of course.”Jeremy's eyes changed instantly. "Why do you ask?""Because..." Lana spat out the smoke and continued, "Because there’s a mysterious man behind my brother. My brother seems to be a little fearful of this man. He doesn't allow me to provoke Eveline because that’s also what is wanted of him by the man. So I’m curious about who this man is."Knowing this situation, Jeremy was really surprised.Regardless of who this mysterious man was, he was helping Madeline.This seemed to be a good thing.However, who was this man who was able to make Yorick somewhat concede?While Jeremy was pondering this, he suddenly heard Lana reluctantly saying, "Jeremy, you saw Yorick's attitude just now as we
It was just that he really did not expect someone to have had already penetrated into the Stygian Johnson Gang and was even able to make Yorick obey his orders. Despite the person’s influence, he was still unable to uproot the Stygian Johnson Gang, which showed how solid the foundation of the Stygian Johnson Gang was. After Jeremy left the cafe, he drove to the gates of the kindergarten where Jackson and Lillian were studying.He waited until the end of school, but he still did not see the brother and sister duo coming out from the kindergarten.Feeling puzzled, he got out of the car and went to ask their teacher in charge.The teacher in charge recognized Jeremy's face and spoke a little apprehensively, "I’m really sorry about this, Mr. Whitman. It’s because I didn’t look after Lillian well that she suffered a fright."Mrs. Whitman said Lillian isn’t able to come to school these days. Jackson has also given a notice of absence."After hearing her reply, Jeremy's mood became ext
In fact, Jeremy already knew who had come over when he heard the familiar footsteps.The moment he looked back, it was indeed Madeline he saw.This was the woman he wished he could merge with into his own blood and life.Madeline did not even spare Jeremy a glance, however. She walked straight to the two children. With a gentle and loving smile on her face, she touched the two cute and rosy faces. "Jack, go on in with your sister. Mommy will bake a cake for both of you in a while."Jackson nodded obediently. He held Lillian's fair and tender little hand with his own small hand, glancing at Jeremy before turning away.After watching the two children enter the house, the smile on Madeline's face gradually dissipated."How dare you still come to see Lillian?" Madeline mocked him sarcastically. "Have you seen it now? Lillian can't speak anymore. Are you satisfied with your girlfriend's master plan?"Jeremy did not respond to Madeline's words. He only walked past her and gently put t
He leaned back into the car seat tiredly, tears wetting the corner of his eyes.‘Lillian, Daddy is sorry.‘I hope that before I leave, I can still hear your sweet laughter and hear you happily call me ‘Daddy’.’He touched the family portrait that he kept in secret and let the grief flow through his body. The clearer the pain, the deeper he could remember who the woman he loved was…Madeline stood frozen in place for a long time, unable to understand Jeremy’s behavior.She still hoped that he was having his own struggles, but his performance was extremely ruthless—so ruthless that she could not find any excuse for him.In three days, she would be married to Ryan.Karen was also counting down the days. Two days before the wedding, she went to look for Madeline while deliberately carrying Pudding in her arms. “Eveline, are you really going to marry Ryan? Is there no more chance for Jeremy?”Madeline put the sorted clothes into the suitcase. She lifted the corner of her lips and sm
