In the past, Madeline felt that Jeremy's eyes seemed to make her feel as if she was being seen through, but at this moment, Carter's gaze also gave her this feeling.“You know what I’ve figured out, Mr. Carter?” Madeline asked with a puzzled smile.Carter smiled without saying a word. His gaze moved closer to Madeline, and the slight smile on his lips looked very intriguing.“You want to tell me that you’ve figured it out and you don't want to fall in love with that Jeremy like a fool anymore. You don't even want to go back to Whitman Manor and you want to stay by my side, no?”“...”Madeline was stunned. She had indeed wanted to tell him this lie, but she never thought that Carter could see through her at a glance.Seeing Madeline looking at him blankly, the smile on Carter's lips became deeper.“What a coincidence. I think so too. If you don't want to go back, you can stay by my side in the future.” His tone softened a lot. “I'm going out now. Do you want to come with me?”Ca
What?Madeline was dazed and astonished. The person in her heart right now was Jeremy.Noticing Madeline's silence, Carter slowly closed the book and faced Madeline's unique starry eyes.“Jeremy Whitman. You still miss this person in your heart, right?”“...”‘This is great.’Madeline simply did not want to look into Carter's eyes. She felt as if he could see through everything at a glance.“I heard that Jeremy was in Y Country for business in the past two days. He’ll arrive at Glendale Airport on time at eight o'clock tonight. I can take you to see him now.”Madeline wanted to pretend to be nonchalant, but what Carter said made her unable to calm down.He actually knew Jeremy's whereabouts clearly, and he even knew that Jeremy had gone to Y Country."It’s very difficult to really forget about someone, so I understand that you’ll still want to see him," Carter added.Madeline curled the corners of her lips. Her smile at this moment appeared extremely stiff. “Thank you for un
Hearing this gentle and sweet voice, Jeremy slowly raised his deep gaze. He looked at the woman who was walking in front of him, and what he found during his investigation in Y Country these two days flashed across in his mind.Naomi saw that Jeremy was looking at herself so intently. As such, she pretended to blink shyly and then spoke in a coquettish tone.“Jeremy, I really missed you during the two days you were away. We haven’t had the time for just the two of us to have a candlelight dinner. Our parents and children are not here tonight, so let us enjoy the time with only the two of us, okay?”Jeremy thought of that night not long ago.He had a candlelight dinner with her in the restaurant.After that, he walked hand in hand with her on the street. He had even kissed her on the street where fireworks bloomed.“Jeremy, what are you thinking about?” Naomi approached curiously, trying to take Jeremy's hand, but Jeremy merely took off his suit jacket. She did not get to hook her
“It's to wake you up.”“…”“Do you really think that you can fool me, Jeremy Whitman, so easily? Do you think I can't even tell who my wife is?”“…”Naomi's flushed face suddenly seemed to be drained of blood. Now, she looked as pale as a sheet of rice paper.He knows?‘Did he see through me a long time ago?’Naomi repeatedly asked herself in her heart while panicking. From Jeremy's cold eyes that were shining sternly at the moment, she felt that she had found the answer.He had indeed found out about it a long time ago!During this period, he did not even have the intention to approach her at all!However, Naomi did not compromise. She tried to argue for herself and showed an aggrieved look. “Jeremy, I don't know what you’re talking about. How could you...”“I can tell you that there’s no banquet at all tonight. I was the one who distracted everyone in order to put an end to your performance tonight.”"..." Naomi looked at Jeremy in disbelief after he said this. This was s
Naomi did not even know who the woman in the car was, but she knew that this person had now mistakenly identified her as Eveline and said that she needed to work with her.Hearing the sound of chasing footsteps behind her, Naomi opened the car door without hesitation and quickly got in.“Drive now!”Ada did not know why Naomi was so flustered, but she did not hesitate and stepped on the accelerator.The moment the car started, Ada saw Jeremy coming from one side from the corner of her eyes. Although the light from the streetlamp was not so bright, Jeremy's appearance and facial features stunned Ada for a moment.This man was Jeremy.He looked even more attractive in real life than in the pictures she had seen.Ada pondered quietly and glanced at Naomi who was sitting in the back seat.Sure enough, that plastic freak looked exactly like this Eveline!‘Hmph, the technology for plastic surgery nowadays is so advanced.’Ada thought while feeling unconvinced. Then, she realized th
She put on a cold attitude. “I don't care who the person you like is. I just want to know why you came to me so late?”As Naomi's voice fell, Ada suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.She turned her head and stared at Naomi a little angrily.“Don't you want to teach this person who’s pretending to be you a lesson? You’re Jeremy's wife and a famous socialite in Glendale, am I right?”“…” Naomi was stunned, then she stated her position, “Of course, I’ll teach this person a lesson. How dare she pretend to be me? I’ll make her life a living hell.”“That's right.” Ada was very satisfied with Naomi's reaction. “I’m like you, I also want to teach this woman a lesson. So, let's work together.”Naomi originally wanted to deal with Madeline. Now that Jeremy had seen through her, someone suddenly appeared and told her she would cooperate with her to deal with Madeline. Of course, Naomi could not ask for anything better.She agreed, “Okay, I’ll work wit
“Ah!”Cathy exclaimed in surprise.Following the blood-stained palm, she saw a familiar face.Felipe lay unconscious on the rainy ground, and his bloody fingers were weakly holding onto Cathy's trousers.“Ca-Cathy…”“Cathy...”Cathy repeated the word with Felipe, and after the last syllable, Felipe's hand that was tightly holding her trousers also loosened.After seeing Felipe suddenly losing consciousness in front of her, Cathy did not know why her heart seemed to ache so severely.The rain of late autumn penetrated her skin with a bone-chilling coolness, but a scene appeared in her head vaguely.It seemed to be raining cats and dogs as well. It had been at night when such a person fell in a pool of blood too. She had walked toward the injured man with an umbrella. She did not remember what happened afterward because the scene ended here.“I saw him running here just now!”“He must be nearby! Find him now!”“Don't let him run away again this time!”Suddenly, she could hea
‘However, it’s right to save people, right?’Cathy seemed to have found a reasonable reason for herself, so she wanted to turn around and leave.However, as soon as she got up, her eyes suddenly paused on Felipe's right wrist.She stretched out her hand uncontrollably and slowly held Felipe's arm. She looked at the red rope around his wrist and suddenly, a wave surged beneath her clear pupils and she saw a handsome young man accompanied by the rustling sea breeze.“Amy.”Adam’s voice suddenly rang behind her ears, and Cathy abruptly withdrew her wandering thoughts.Adam saw Felipe sleeping on the recliner at a glance. When he saw the blood trail across the floor, he walked to Cathy in astonishment.“What's going on? How did he get so badly injured?”“I don't know what happened. It seemed that a few men were chasing him and he happened to collapse in front of our house, so I dragged him in,” Cathy explained. Seeing the frown on Adam’s face, she apologized in a soft voice. “Adam,
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
