Ryan took the letter in his hand and his eyes scanned the familiar handwriting. Each and every word was reflected in his eyes clearly. “I-Impossible…”Ryan’s breathing started to become erratic.He grabbed the old letter and read the words on it again. However, no matter how he read it, those words would not change.“No, Grandpa wouldn’t do something like that…”Ryan could not accept this. His pale and dried lips started mumbling repeatedly. His gray eyes were also filled with endless loss.“Ryan, I know it’s hard for you to accept this but it’s the truth,” Jeremy parted his lips and emphasized calmly.“Impossible!” Ryan used all of his strength to roar out that word. In the next second, he clutched at his heart with a pained expression.Jeremy could see the changes in the data on the equipment and he knew Ryan must have been triggered. However, he did not feel sorry for him.In his mind, Ryan was only like this today because he brought this upon himself.Being able to wake
“If you think you can help Ryan get away with his crimes like this, then you’re seriously even more naive than my son and daughter.”A bright and pristine voice sounded suddenly from the noisy crowd.Jeremy’s racing heart became filled with joy when he heard this voice. He lifted his head and saw Madeline elegantly walking toward him while pushing the crowd away.The journalists pointed their cameras at Madeline using this opportunity. Then, they started questioning.“Mrs. Whitman, are you trying to say something on behalf of Mr. Whitman by appearing at this moment?”“What’s your relationship with Ryan Jones?”“I heard that your mental state isn’t the best at the moment and someone even said that you’re a half-wit now, so are you—”“Do you guys think I look like an idiot or a lunatic?” Madeline walked to Jeremy before turning around. Then, she faced the cameras confidently. “I didn’t come here to say anything on anyone’s behalf. I just hope this matter will come to an end soon.”
This sudden act of robbery caused Madeline to be at a loss.She lifted her head to see a shifty-eyed reporter snatching away the letter to take a look.However, if the contents of the letter were exposed, the destruction of the Jones family’s reputation would be nothing compared to disturbing the departed spirit of Old Master Jones.Madeline ran up to snatch the letter back when she saw that the reporter was about to read out the contents of the letter without permission. However, when she was about to do it, Mr. Jones instantly charged up to him like a lion that had been enraged. He grabbed the reporter’s collar and ordered through gritted teeth, “Give me back the letter!”The reporter was shocked. However, at the same time, he knew he was holding an important piece of news, so he could not let go of it.“Give it back to him.”Suddenly, Jeremy’s voice sounded neither too quickly nor too slowly. Even though his tone was unperturbed, his aura was enough to make the reporter feel a
When she saw that man, she would be reminded of how cruel he treated her back then.“Linnie, let’s go home.”Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s arm. “Okay.”However, when they were about to turn around, Mrs. Jones grabbed her hand all of a sudden.“Mrs. Whitman!”Mrs. Jones grabbed Madeline frantically, her eyes filled with pleading and a rare look of apology.“Mrs. Whitman, please. Please go in to see Rye!”Madeline could understand how Mrs. Jones was feeling right now, but she truly did not want to see Ryan.“Mrs. Whitman, I know I said a lot of horrible things to you back then. On behalf of our past relationship as mother and daughter-in-law, I hope you can forgive me for being rude and impetuous.“Rye was wrong. He shouldn’t have hurt you that way. Whatever punishment he may face later will be his karma. However, Mrs. Whitman, I’m begging you now. Can you please preserve Rye’s life for the time being?”Mrs. Jones was bawling and holding onto Madeline’s hand while refusing to let g
‘What do you want to tell me?’Ryan wanted to know as he looked fixedly at the gentle and elegant woman in front of him. The sunlight outside the window was scattered all over her body and she was standing against the light like a person in a painting. She looked so earthly and yet so beautiful.However, he could not have her in this way.“Actually, does it matter what I want to tell you? I just wanted to give you hope at the time. It’s as simple as that.”Madeline's explanation caused the light in Ryan's eyes to fade.“No, you’re lying to me. You must have something to tell me.” His eyes were full of expectations. His appearance had returned to the former gentle and elegant air but it was now full of anxiety.Madeline walked to the bed and looked at his pale and frustrated face. She also found it a bit ironic and ridiculous, but pity arose in Madeline’s heart from noticing his complicated emotions.She looked at Ryan’s expectant face and parted her lips gently. “The day you sai
As he said that, he finally smiled and said the last words.“I wish you and Jeremy happiness.”“Thank you for your blessing. My husband and I will be very happy,” Madeline said with a small smile and turned around, but before she could walk away, Ryan stopped her suddenly.“Eveline.”Madeline stopped. “Is there anything else?”Ryan smiled gently. “I’ll entrust a lawyer to handle the divorce procedures. From now on, we’re no longer lawfully wedded. You can return to Jeremy's side and continue to be Mrs. Whitman.”Madeline also thought about going through the divorce procedures with Ryan later, but she did not expect that he would take the initiative to bring it up.She nodded and turned the handle of the door.As soon as the door opened and she met Jeremy's eyes, Ryan's voice came from behind again."That time in the hotel, I was the one who orchestrated the situation so that you thought you had gotten in bed with me. When in fact, nothing happened to us. You’ve always belonged
Yellow roses?Madeline suddenly thought of the woman with two children holding a bunch of yellow roses whom she saw on the side of the road that day.However, what surprised her at the moment was the woman's voice.It was clearly Cathy's voice!Madeline turned around suddenly and looked for the owner of the voice. Coincidentally, she caught a young woman holding a bunch of yellow roses walking toward the door of the flower shop.This thin figure belonged to the woman she saw at the door of the flower shop that day.‘Is this Cathy?’This thought appeared in Madeline’s head while she was in disbelief.“Cathy!”She yelled toward the woman's back, but the woman seemed to turn a deaf ear and walked directly out of the door of the shop.Madeline turned around and tried to catch up. The salesperson in the shop hurriedly called out to her, “Madam, you forgot your flowers.”“Thank you!” Madeline took the packaged baby's breath and hurried out of the flower shop.Jeremy had been look
“The woman's voice that I heard on the phone that night was the same as Cathy's, and now Adam appears next to this woman. What is the relationship between them? If it is Cathy, why is she with Adam?”Her heartbeat sped up a bit and she could not wait to see the face of this young woman.At this time, the light turned green. Madeline and Jeremy quickened their pace and walked over, but coincidentally, Adam took the woman and two children into a car nearby.It was too late when the two of them caught up.However, it was also because of this that Madeline felt even more suspicious.This woman with Adam was very likely to be Cathy.Although Madeline did not know what Cathy experienced afterward, it would be exceedingly fortunate as long as she was still alive.After returning to Whitman Manor, Madeline and Jeremy did not tell Felipe about the incident. They were worried about giving Felipe false hope before they were certain.After knowing that Jackson and Lillian were doing their
