She heard the man’s cold and displeased voice in her ears. The hand the woman was reaching over to grab her mask was also halted.Madeline lifted her head and saw the side profile with amazing features.She quickly got out of the man’s arms and walked to one side.The man looked at Madeline. Then, his cold gaze landed on the unruly and headstrong woman.“Who allowed you to come here? And who gave you the courage to mess with her?” he asked in dissatisfaction.The woman bit her plump red lips. Her beautiful face was filled with grievances. “Carter Gray, how dare you speak to me this way for that woman?!”‘Carter Gray.‘So this man’s name is Carter Gray.’Finally, Madeline knew.However, she was confused about the relationship between this woman and the man.They did not look like husband and wife. However, this woman did say she was the matriarch of this house.“Who do you think you’re talking to right now?”When Madeline was contemplating, she heard the man asking the woman
“I’m warning you, don’t touch my person.”“...”His person?When did she become his person?Madeline knew clearly in her heart that this man was only using her to get rid of the woman.However, he did not give her any chance to explain before he grabbed her wrist suddenly and walked upstairs.“Carter! Carter!” The woman yelled angrily behind them in dissatisfaction, but the man did not have the desire to stop at all.As they were going upstairs, Madeline tried to remove herself from the man’s grip several times. However, he only grabbed her even tighter.“She can’t see us anymore, so can you let go now, Mr. Carter?” Madeline asked in displeasure.Carter stopped walking and turned back to look at Madeline. When he saw the resistance and dissatisfaction in Madeline’s eyes, he let go immediately.“Come in.” He walked into the study first.Madeline followed after him. She remembered his identity that the woman had just exposed and asked after pondering for a few seconds. “Your n
Madeline did not expect this.At that moment, she did not know what to do.The man in front of her was someone in her life whom she could depend on and trust without any worries. However, in this second, her heart was beating extremely erratically.Those young ladies who were obsessed with Jeremy’s looks were all staring at him without blinking. They were hoping that Jeremy would look at them.However, Jeremy was walking straight to Madeline.He looked into Madeline’s eyes for a few seconds before saying, “Are you here for the job too?”He asked. The late autumn wind was already chilly, but Jeremy’s words felt like the spring breeze as it glided past Madeline’s ears.Madeline clenched her fists and nodded. “Yeah.”“Have you done any kind of work like this before?” Jeremy continued asking.Madeline stared at the deep and charming eyes in front of her before nodding again. “I’ve taken care of sick people before so I’m confident that I can excel in this job.”“Okay, come with me
It was true. Those eyes were indeed clear and stunning.‘So, does Mr. Whitman adores everything related to the person he loves?‘Did he seriously hire that woman because her eyes look the same as his wife’s?’When everyone thought about this reason, they could only admit defeat.One was born with their looks and there were no ways to change that. Hence, they could only admit defeat and left in disappointment.In the living room of Whitman Manor.Madeline stood in front of the coffee table as she faced the people who were the closest to her in her life. However, at this moment, she could only pretend to be a stranger.The woman who was impersonating her was introducing her to the family one by one, “This is my mother-in-law and this is my mother. That’s my youngest son with Jeremy. Some of the people staying in this house aren’t here for the time being but it’s fine. The most important task for you right now is to take care of my mother.”After the woman finished introducing eve
“Are you alright?”Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice was like sweet spring water as it glided past her heart.Uncontrollably, Madeline’s heart started beating wilder and faster, but she did not dare to look straight into Jeremy’s eyes. She did not stay long in his arms either before leaving hurriedly.However, when Madeline let go in a panic, Jeremy felt an emptiness in his arms as well as in his heart.“I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman,” Madeline lowered her head and apologized.“It’s fine,” Jeremy said in a gentle tone. Even his eyes looked abnormally soft.Even though she did not see it, Madeline could feel Jeremy staring at her intensely.At this moment, the imposter’s voice sounded from afar.“Jeremy, Lily and Jack are here.”Madeline was impressed. This woman could even impersonate her tone and voice so well, making herself sound similar to hers.It seemed that Ryan had wasted a lot of effort on this woman.However, before his plan even started, he had already given up.Now, he
He asked the person on the other end of the phone lazily.Madeline subconsciously looked at the man with the corner of her eyes. Then, she heard Jeremy exclaiming in puzzlement. “Ryan is dead?”After Jeremy said that, Madeline noticed the woman who was impersonating her lifting her head suddenly. Plus, her expression and the look in her eyes had changed as well.She looked as if she was in shock. However, Madeline noticed another subtle expression.After Jeremy hung up the phone, Madeline saw the imposter recomposing her expression before walking over to ask.“Jeremy, what did you say? Ryan is dead? He’s in jail, so how’d he die all of a sudden?” she asked, her eyes filled with intense desire for information.Jeremy looked at the imposter and said flatly, “I don’t know the details but I know the Jones family is having a funeral. It’s confirmed that Ryan is dead.”After he said that, Jeremy saw that the woman was taken aback. She looked as if she was in a daze.“Linnie, is it di
Madeline immediately realized something. She had not removed the ring on her ring finger, and at the same time, it was difficult for her to remove it.She saw Jeremy looking at the ring absent-mindedly as his grip on her palm gradually tightened.His warmth seeped from her skin to her blood, all the way into her heart.“Why do you have this ring?” He stared into Madeline’s eyes and asked.Since she had accepted the job offer, she knew that Jeremy would see the ring on her ring finger one day.She smiled calmly and said, “The man I loved put this ring on me. What’s the matter?”“Impossible.” Jeremy denied. “It’s impossible that there’s a second ring like this in this world.”Madeline pretended to frown in confusion. “Why do you say that, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy moved his thin lips and looked into Madeline’s innocent wide eyes. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.Honk, honk, honk!The sound of urging horns came from the back and Madeline turned her head to look behind
Madeline went back to Carter’s manor, and the moment she stepped foot inside, she saw Carter sitting on the European-styled sofa in the living room. He was flipping a book elegantly.“Are you going to be the Whitmans’ maid?” Carter asked unhurriedly.Madeline stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at the man who had a nonchalant expression on his face. She smiled superficially and said, “I didn’t think Mr. Carter would be so interested in what I’m doing. I’m glad. That’s right, I’m going to be the Whitmans’ maid.”“The way you seek revenge against Jeremy Whitman is so special,” Carter said, putting down the book in his hand before standing up.His bottomless black eyes looked into Madeline’s glistening ones coldly.“I’ll drive you over in a bit.”“...”Carter proposed this idea and Madeline felt that something was wrong. However, she knew it would be useless for her to reject him.“Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Carter.”After Madeline said that, she went upstairs.Sh
