She had been thinking about marrying Jeremy every day so that she could become the real Mrs. Whitman. However, it had been three years and their relationship did not change at all.It had been three years and she could not wait anymore.…It was a bright and sunny summer afternoon. An adorable little girl was holding the skirt of a young woman in Glendale Airport.“Mommy, Mommy, I’m hungry.”The woman turned her head when she heard that. Her long wavy hair fluttered as she turned around. A benevolent smile was displayed on her stunning face. She picked up the adorable little girl who looked like an elf. “I’ll bring you to eat something yummy soon.”She started walking after picking up the girl. An elegant and poised aura started following her like it was her shadow.On the way, she attracted a lot of praise and glances for her beauty and figure.After they found a place to stay, she took the little girl out.“Mommy, I want a burger first.”“Alright.” The woman agreed.“Thank
Madeline made a shushing gesture and the little girl immediately understood. She pursed her lips together.On one side, Meredith was extremely unhappy when she saw Jeremy holding a little girl. However, she knew she could not show it.“Jeremy, whose child is this? Why do you keep holding her? Jack is waiting for us outside. Let’s go.”She looked at Jeremy with a smile on her face, but then she rolled her eyes at Lilian who was in Jeremy’s arms.She did not know where this little thing came from. She even looked similar to that country bumpkin, Madeline!“You can leave with Jack first. I’m waiting for the little girl’s parents,” Jeremy replied coldly. Just then, his eyes fell on Lilian.For some reason, he felt a connection to her.Meredith finally got to ask Jeremy out using Jackson as an excuse. She did not think she would be treated so coldly. She could not express her anger, so she could only turn around while pressing her lips together tightly.Meredith was so focused on be
She had already left this world. What was left of her were her ashes.“Of course I’m Jeremy’s wife. The entire Glendale knows about this!” Meredith could not wait to announce her relationship with Jeremy.Madeline said after suddenly realizing it. “So you’re that famous Miss Montgomery, Meredith Crawford?”When Meredith heard this, the arrogant smile on her face returned.However, after a few seconds, Madeline added, “The woman who used her identity to force her sister, Madeline, to a dead-end before stealing her sister’s husband! You’re that mistress, Meredith Crawford, right?”Meredith’s face fell, but she displayed an innocent look on her face.“Miss, how can you spew nonsense like that? When did I steal my sister’s husband from her? Jeremy and I have always been together, right, Jeremy? The person you love this whole time has been me and me only,” she said, looking at Jeremy with an agreeable look.However, Jeremy was only looking at Madeline. His gaze was so intense that it
At this moment inside Whitman Manor.Jeremy sat next to the bed lazily. He was holding his phone while watching a video that was going viral.In the video, Meredith’s menacing behavior made her lose her good reputation. All of a sudden, he was starting to wonder if this was the little girl he met when he was younger, Linnie.He did not think much of it, but his eyes eventually landed on Madeline.His heart started beating faster.Those features looked just like hers.However, despite looking similar, it was still a fact that Madeline had left him forever.As Jeremy pondered, Madeline’s sweet face appeared in his mind. His heart started aching uncontrollably again…Maddie…“Jeremy, are you asleep?” Someone knocked on the door, and in the next moment, Meredith’s voice came from outside. “Jeremy, I think you saw the video, right? I’m being maliciously slandered. Can you accompany and comfort me?”“Plus, the shop at the plaza in the city center is going to be up for auction soon.
On the other side, Madeline took a sip of her coffee slowly. She looked at the huge sum of money that was transferred to her bank account on her phone. She lifted the mirror and looked at her reflection.She touched the place where the scars used to be. However, she would still feel a stinging pain even though she had only touched them lightly.She put down the mirror and turned her elegant body. Then, she walked into the fashion boutique next door.All of the rich and powerful upper-class elites in Glendale were coming to the auction that was being held in the most luxurious six-star hotel here.They were going to auction off a huge shop in the busiest part of the plaza in the city center.Meredith had been eyeing this shop for a very long time. She also hinted to Jeremy many times before for him to bid on this shop for her.Back then, she had stolen Madeline’s diary and the jewelry design drafts she left behind when she was in university. Even she needed to admit that Madeline’
Madeline could see Meredith’s cracked smile from underneath her sunglasses.She walked over while remaining calm and collected. She could feel the eyes of everyone in the room glued on her.Back then, she did not know how to put on makeup or doll herself up. She did not even know how to walk after putting on high heels.At that point in time, she was an ugly duckling that even a beggar would look down on.However, everything was different now.Every dog had its day. Ten years later, Madeline Crawford was not who she was back then.Madeline smiled sweetly while sitting in an empty seat behind Meredith in a calm and composed manner.Jeremy’s eyes were on her the entire time. Until now, he was still looking at her.When Meredith noticed that Jeremy’s attention was on Madeline, she clenched her fists in anger.Jeremy was indeed moved by that b*tch Madeline. If not, why would he stare at her just because she looked similar to Madeline?Madeline noticed Jeremy staring at her. Perha
After she said that, everyone looked at her with shock on their faces.Meredith was so angry that she almost ripped the placard into pieces. Was this woman purposely going against her?Who did she think she was? How dare she go against her?!How would Meredith allow this? She lifted the placard again.Everyone thought Meredith would add on a few million dollars, however, she only added 500,000 dollars.The moment she finished saying that, Madeline said nonchalantly, “20 million.”“Wow…”Everyone exclaimed.Meredith could not stand this anymore. She suppressed the fire of rage inside her and glared at Madeline. She then forced out an innocent and gentle smile.“Miss, were you hired by the other party to come here to deliberately raise the price? Everyone knows that my fiancé is going to buy this shop for me as my birthday present. Could it be that you enjoy stealing things from others?”“Steal things from others? Isn’t that what you’re good at, Miss Crawford?”Madeline’s face
‘Thanks.’The word she uttered so softly lingered in his ear. However, it landed heavily on Jeremy’s heart.When Jeremy saw this stunning face in front of him, he felt as if he had turned into a sculpture. In that split second, he lost all of his senses and consciousness.He even felt that he might be dreaming.The beautiful face in front of him was so glaring.It was so painful!‘Maddie!’He could not control himself from screaming out her name in his heart.His heart that had fallen into a deep slumber for the past three years was abruptly woken up.Madeline smiled lightly when she saw Jeremy’s reaction.‘Are you surprised, Jeremy?‘The ex-wife you despise isn’t dead yet.‘However, I’m not that Madeline Crawford who loved you so much that she abandoned all self-respect, self-love, and even herself.’“I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll get going now.” Madeline retracted her hand and walked past Jeremy elegantly and calmly.When the
