He fantasized about Madeline coming back to shore. After all, it had been two hours, so if she was still in the river, then she would have been…No.Jeremy interrupted his overthinking. However, when he looked at the endless river connected to the sea, he did not know what he was supposed to do.He stood in the middle of the rain in midwinter and looked at the river in front of him while calling out Madeline’s name in his heart.Karen was waiting for news at home. The thing she longed for the most right now was Jeremy coming home with Madeline, but it was starting to get dark and Jeremy was still not home yet.Karen kept waiting, and unbeknownst to her, it was the next day.When she was about to go look for Jeremy to ask about Madeline’s situation, she received a strange call.She was worried that she would miss any news about Madeline, so she picked up the phone. However, the person on the other side said that they were a reporter.Karen was not in the mood to talk to the repo
For a moment, she was stumped for words. She looked at the handsome face with outstanding features in front of her in confusion.“Who are you? Why are you standing in front of my door?” Naomi asked.When Carter heard this, a stern glint flashed across his eyes. He parted his lips lazily.“You’re the young madam of the Whitman family and you’re staying in a hotel. I guess your relationship with Mr. Whitman is in shambles indeed.”When Naomi heard this, a disdainful scoff appeared on her face.“Yeah, my relationship with my husband is in shambles. We’re almost at the stage of divorce because I’m not a woman who knows my place and I’m not the good wife or mother the public thought I was. I’m just a fickle wh*re.”Carter peered at Naomi coldly. “What you said is so surprising, Mrs. Whitman. I’ve never seen a woman describing herself this way.”“Oh yeah? You’ve seen it now, no?” Naomi snorted nonchalantly. Then, she continued to slander while wearing Madeline’s face. “I’m an extremel
“I’m going to ask you now, what’s your name?”“Naomi Lionel.”Naomi answered without being able to control herself. She wanted to say that she was Eveline Montgomery, but the truth came out of her mouth instead.Carter seemed to be satisfied when he got this answer. He asked again, “Why do you look like Eveline?” “I got plastic surgery.”“Why did you want to look like Eveline?”“The man I liked arranged this for me. I don’t know why he wanted me to look like her. I was just carrying out his orders.”“Who’s your boyfriend?”“His name is Ryan Jones.”Ryan Jones.Carter quickly remembered the man who died in the yacht explosion.His eyes landed on Naomi’s face that was a copy. Her eyes were out of focus right now, and it was evident she had fallen into his hypnosis.He had tried to hypnotize Madeline before as well but did not succeed.Madeline’s willpower was strong, unlike the woman in front of him who was easily hypnotized by him.After pondering for a few seconds, Carte
Jeremy was wearing a neat and ironed limited edition suit. He was sitting in front elegantly with a dignified posture. When he saw Naomi appearing in front of him, he smiled lightly without a trace.Naomi lifted her eyebrow at Jeremy while feeling pleased with her position. She said to the reporters in front of her, “Since everyone is present today, I want to announce something too.”Announce something?Everyone looked at each other before pointing the cameras and microphones over to Naomi.“Mrs. Whitman, are there problems with your relationship with Mr. Whitman?”“You’ve been seen entering all kinds of bars and clubs with different men. Are you admitting to this?”“Will you divorce Mr. Whitman soon?”Naomi glanced arrogantly at Jeremy who did not say anything while facing the reporters’ continuous questions. She started seriously spewing nonsense to the live stream, “It’s true that I was seen hanging out with a lot of men recently.”“Wow…”They did not expect ‘Eveline’ to ad
However, what surprised them was how Jeremy never denied or said anything to stop her from the start.Did this mean that he was agreeing to this tacitly?One of the reporters could not take it anymore, so she asked Jeremy, “Mr. Whitman, are you not going to stop or explain why Mrs. Whitman is acting like this?”After the reporter asked that question, Naomi did not give Jeremy a chance to talk. She immediately answered, “Don’t cause trouble for my husband. I’ve already said this, so what else can he do? I can’t help that I’ve affected the stocks of Whitman Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise. I can’t help it that I’m someone like this.”While she was speaking, she looked at Jeremy provokingly.“Am I right, dear?”Jeremy looked calmly at the beautiful face and finally said, “Do you think you’re qualified to call me your dear?”“...” Naomi was slightly stunned. However, she reacted quickly. “You’re right. We’re going to get divorced soon. How can such a shameless wh*re like me be
“Gosh! There’s even something like this?”Sounds of exclamation and shock came continuously from the crowd.“I never knew there’s such plastic surgery!”“They look the same!”“There’s even no difference in their eyes!”When everyone at the scene saw Madeline walking over, they were all flabbergasted.When Naomi heard the exclaims from the crowd, she could feel her breathing getting erratic. She turned around to look in disbelief. When that familiar face was reflected in her eyes, Naomi felt as if her heart had stopped beating at that moment.‘How is this possible?‘How is this even possible?‘Eveline isn’t dead!’However, Naomi had clearly pushed her into the river.When that happened, Eveline was still unconscious. How could she still be alive?Plus, what was up with her face?She had been so hideous after the fire. Her face had been covered with scars but now, it was so delicate and flawless. Plus, she even looked fair and elegant.Compared to her face that was covered
After everyone heard Naomi saying that, they thought she made sense.That voice was not Eveline’s voice indeed.After carefully hearing it, they found that Naomi’s voice was more similar to the one they had heard before.When she noticed the people around her starting to side with her, Naomi started to feel pleased with herself. She pointed at Madeline and lifted her eyes. “You imposter, you’re in this state and you still want to impersonate me. You’re only here to make a fool of yourself!”Madeline had an unperturbed attitude the entire time while facing Naomi’s provocations. “We’ll know who’s the one here to make a fool of themselves soon.”“...”Naomi started to feel anxious after seeing Madeline’s calmness.She was wondering how could Madeline prove herself to be Eveline when she spotted Madeline walking next to a female reporter. “Do you have any perfume with you?”The reporter looked at Madeline and was stumped for words while feeling confused. Then, she took out a mini b
Naomi stared straight at the documents Ken had placed in Madeline’s hand. Even though she had no idea what they were, she could feel that they were evidence extremely detrimental to her.Madeline opened the documents calmly and displayed the contents in front of Naomi as well as all of the cameras.“Naomi, this is the information about your plastic surgery in Y Country. Plus, the documented pictures on here clearly state that you’re an imposter from head to toe.”“...” Naomi widened her eyes, and at that moment, she was completely speechless.“Wow…” Everyone at the scene gasped in surprise.They now understood why Eveline had been so unrestrained and shameless these few days. They also understood why she could have the guts to say something so shameless in public. It turned out that this woman was not Eveline at all!The reason she said and did those things was to slander the real Eveline.“What a lunatic. She can even go as far as to use this kind of method to smear someone’s n
