Madeline frowned slightly. This was unexpected. Hannah was more arrogant than Madeline had thought.This girl seemed to only be in her twenties, but her temper was truly ferocious.However, her willfulness might also be due to her youth.It was still working hours, and there were not many people in the lobby downstairs of the company, but Hannah was crying and shrieking very loudly.Madeline walked over, clicking her heels, exuding a very domineering aura.Some confused employees were recording videos with their mobile phones. When they saw Madeline coming, they immediately put down their phones and pretended to be busy with their work.Hannah, too, saw Madeline coming, but she did not stop making a fuss.With a sad look on her face, she lifted her eyes, pretending to only have seen Madeline now, and then she suddenly turned and ran towards Madeline.As soon as she ran up to Madeline, she grabbed Madeline's sleeves, and with a sob, she said, “Miss Montgomery, I know I was wrong
Madeline had very keen observation skills. She could tell what tricks this woman had up her sleeves.However, just when Madeline was about to take precautions, Hannah suddenly took out a fruit knife from her pocket!Hannah stood up abruptly, holding the fruit knife in one hand, and aimed it at her wrist.A timid female employee around them screamed in terror.Madeline looked at Hannah's reaction, and of course, she knew that this was one of the woman’s methods.However, Madeline asked Coco to call the police and an ambulance, just in case.The number of people who came to watch this gradually began to increase, and Hannah also felt that it was almost time to continue the second act of the performance.She held the fruit knife and looked at her wrist as if she was struggling.Madeline, who had guessed Hannah's motives, did not panic in any way. “Hannah, please stop your irrational behavior. If you want to use this to achieve your goals, you are still too naive.”Upon seeing Mad
The clanging sound of something falling onto the ground then followed. Madeline, who suddenly had a thought, immediately turned around and looked back, and then she saw bright red blood dripping down from Hannah's left wrist and the blood-stained fruit knife which had already fallen to the ground.In barely a moment, Hannah's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and glared hatefully at Madeline. “Eveline, if I die, you’re the murderer.”After gritting her teeth and saying these words, her body gradually fell limp to the ground.With Hannah’s life at stake, Madeline did not care about Hannah's unreasonable and savage behavior, and she strode forward and held Hannah instead.However, Hannah broke away from Madeline."I don't need your help, Eveline. Stop being so hypocritical. You just want me to die!”Hannah pulled Madeline's sleeve with all her strength.“Everyone, look. This woman, Eveline Montgomery, is the one who forced me to my death! It’s all because I had a one-night
With questions tailing her, Madeline had to stop. Nevertheless, she merely smiled calmly and magnanimously and then spoke to the camera.“In recent years, you’ve seen a lot of melodrama and even unbelievable news about me and my husband, but what happened in the end?”Madeline asked with a small smile.“It should be very clear to all of you, isn’t it?”The reporters looked at each other tactfully, and one of them asked, “Mrs. Whitman, are you saying that the woman deliberately came here to cause trouble and discredit Mr. Whitman and that in fact, nothing happened between Mr. Whitman and her?”Upon hearing this reporter's words, Madeline was slightly startled for two seconds.She was not good at lying, and the memory of what happened between Jeremy and the maid was indeed playing in her head.“Mrs. Whitman, why are you not answering?”“Could it be true that the woman actually slit her wrist to commit suicide? It didn’t seem like acting. Who would risk their life to put up an act
Madeline thanked the doctor and then walked to the hospital room.However, before she got there, Madeline saw, from a distance, that there were a lot of reporters by the room’s entrance.Madeline understood that these people were here for more information.They wanted to know something more exciting from Hannah's end. They were also hoping to prove what Hannah said was true so that their write-ups would be very valuable.Without thinking about it too much, Madeline grabbed her phone and turned around to dial a number.“Hello, I am a family member of patient 1201. I don't know why it is so noisy outside of the adjacent room. It’s so noisy that my relative can’t even rest. Please ask someone to deal with it as soon as possible.”Soon after receiving Madeline's complaint, the hospital called the security guard to drive the reporters away.A few minutes later, the entrance to the room was instantly quieter.Presently, Madeline walked over to the door to the room. Through the small
Suddenly, the malevolent-looking Hannah lost control of her emotions and pounced toward Madeline. It seemed as if she had decided to die with Madeline.Madeline did not have time to care about the wound on the back of her hand at the present. She moved to one side quickly and avoided Hannah’s attack.“Hannah, think about your family before you do anything stupid.”Madeline exhorted her. The cut flesh on the back of her hand was bleeding more and more.She needed to do something to her wound right now.Madeline knew her blood type was rare; it would be troublesome if she lost too much blood.However, when Hannah heard what Madeline said, she started cackling loudly. “Family? If I had a family, would I go and become a lowly maid?”Hannah roared out at Madeline. It was clear that she despised her background.The hand she used to hold the knife was shaking as she aimed it at Madeline, and Hannah’s eyes were filled with hatred.“Eveline, why is your life so good? You’re the daughte
Madeline nodded. From the corner of her eyes, she looked at the baffled Hannah before following Jeremy to the door. “Mr. Whitman!” Hannah yelled at Jeremy’s back. “Mr. Whitman! I came all the way from St. Piaf for you. Please don’t ignore me so heartlessly! Mr. Whitman!”Hannah’s ear-piercing voice came over repeatedly. Jeremy turned a deaf ear. He only wanted to take Madeline to tend to her wounds as soon as possible. However, at this moment, the reporters who had been chased away came back out of nowhere. They swarmed forward to interview Jeremy. They wanted to know more about his relationship with Hannah, but before they could get close, they were frightened back by Jeremy’s austere eyes. In Glendale, Jeremy was someone they dared not offend. Jeremy quickly brought Madeline to the outpatient services where a doctor quickly tended to the wounds on their hands. The sight of the gauze on their hands broke Madeline’s heart, but at the same time, she did not know if she
Upon hearing Jeremy suddenly speaking as such, Hannah, who was very emotional to begin with, was taken aback.However, Jeremy's gaze, ablazed, was not something that someone could approach and fool at will.“This was initially a private matter between you and me. You can even ask me for compensation, but you’ve used the wrong approach.”Jeremy's voice and eyes grew colder and colder.“You made a fuss in my company downstairs and threatened my wife with death. You even played the victim by making a ridiculous accusation that my wife would hire someone to bully you and the child in your womb. Heh.”Jeremy grinned coldly. “Child?”Hannah heard Jeremy's sarcastic words and felt the doubts of the people around her. Although she was feeling slightly guilty, Hannah, with red eyes, quickly recomposed her pitiful state and explained, “I’m just telling the facts…”“Facts?” Jeremy interrupted Hannah indifferently. “Let me tell you what the facts are.”Jeremy's deep and alluring eyes darke
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
