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
Felipe could not believe what he was seeing before his eyes, but the face that appeared before his tearful eyes was so real.“Cathy, Cathy.”He muttered to himself. Then, he raised his hand and fiercely wiped the tears from his eyes.The seemingly familiar figure that flashed across from him turned and walked toward the other side.Felipe hurried to keep up, but this was the peak hour of people getting off work. Even if he wanted to run a red light to the opposite side, he would not have such a chance.“Cathy, Cathy!”Felipe shouted to the young woman's back, but from a long distance away, the woman walked forward while minding her business. It was as if she did not hear Felipe yelling at her. It was also as if she had no impression of the name Cathy.Felipe could not find the opportunity to run to the opposite side, so he could only move ahead along this street and catch up with the woman. Soon, the woman turned the corner at the end of the road.“Cathy!”Felipe could not acc
The woman’s thoughts started to wander while she looked fixedly at this figure.“Mommy, Mommy…”The woman came back to her senses dazedly when she heard her son calling out to her.“Mommy, home. We have to go home quickly.”“Okay.”The woman nodded and turned around again while holding her son.However, after turning around, she could not help but glance in the direction where Felipe had left.…Whitman Manor.After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room and chatted.Madeline felt that she was swamped. Her three children and her now demented mother were all over her.Fortunately, Jackson and Lillian were sensible and did not need her to spend a lot of effort to coax them. On the contrary, it was Eloise who needed company and comforting the most.At this moment, her youngest son, Pudding, was also all over Madeline. He kicked his short legs and crawled onto the sofa before pestering Madeline to give him hugs and kisses.“Mommy, hug!”The little boy blinked his liv
