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
Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before lowering her head in terror to avoid looking into Jeremy’s eyes. Then, she removed her hands in a panic.Jeremy was also slightly absent-minded. Even though their eyes were meeting in the dark, he could still see the bright glint in her eyes.That glint in her eyes moved him so much.However, her face…Jeremy came back to his senses as if he had just been abruptly awoken.At that instant, he felt as if he had vaguely seen something special.Clank!Suddenly, Jeremy heard the sound of crashing downstairs. Then, he heard a muffled grunt of pain.He immediately turned around, and even though he was in the dark, he still had a good sense of direction.Jeremy went downstairs, and using the moonlight outside the window, he saw a frail figure walking out the door.Jeremy lifted his eyebrow in curiosity after he saw the figure flashing across him.“Linnie?”‘It’s so late. What’s Linnie doing out there?’Jeremy pondered. When he was abou
