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
Madeline was shocked when she saw Jeremy’s appearance. She did not know whether this was fate or just a coincidence.Jeremy opened the door of the car, and after looking at Madeline, he spotted Carter who was standing next to her.The man’s gaze was deep. After he examined Carter for a few seconds, he asked, “Quinny, who is this?”“Hello, Mr. Whitman. I’m Quinny’s fiancé,” Carter introduced himself. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to hold Madeline’s left hand.However, Madeline wanted to dodge reflexively the moment he touched her. Even so, Carter held her hand in a firm grip.Jeremy could see Madeline furrowing her eyebrows lightly. There was a contradicting feeling in his heart that he could not put a finger on. However, in the end, he did not show it.“I specially drove my girlfriend here. From now on, my girlfriend will be working here, so please take good care of her, Mr. Whitman.” Carter smiled softly.This was the first time Madeline saw a smile on his face.Jeremy did
Jeremy stopped halfway through his sentence.Madeline asked curiously. “What’s wrong with him?”Looking at Madeline’s alluring eyes that were filled with curiosity, a subtle smile flashed across Jeremy’s handsome face.“It’s fine. Go on about your business.”He did not continue and walked past Madeline to leave.Madeline turned her body and looked at the empty doorway. At this moment, her heart was already gone.She felt as if she was suffering in pain when she was faced with the man she loved and wanted to depend on the most, yet she could not tell him about her pain and conflicts.However, she was indeed powerless at this moment. Madeline walked to the bag Carter handed to her. After she opened it, she saw that the contents were just some daily necessities and clothes. The clothes looked simple and plain like he had already prepared them for her a long time ago.“Carter.”Madeline muttered.‘What is this man planning?’Madeline did not have a direction, so she did not co
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
