Upon hearing what Madeline said, Fabian's finger, which hovered over the hang-up button, suddenly stopped.Madeline's gaze on the screen was earnest.Fabian had vaguely guessed what Madeline was going to say to him, and he had the urge to hang up again.However, Madeline also seemed to have predicted this, so she immediately said, “Fabian, I will be going to F Country in these two days, and I want to take Lily home while I’m there.”Fabian seemed completely unsurprised upon hearing what Madeline said.He had already expected it, and this is probably the only topic that Madeline had in common with him at the moment.Seeing that Fabian merely looked at the phone without speaking, Madeline almost predicted the result.“You can at least let me meet my daughter, can’t you?”Madeline made a concession. Fabian stayed silent for another two seconds, and then he said, “We’ll talk about it when we can meet.”After saying this, Fabian hung up the video call.At the other end of the line
It had not been like this at the beginning. Karen would have gotten annoyed at the sight of Madeline.Presently, however, Karen was always defending her daughter-in-law, Madeline.Everything was certainly unpredictable.Jeremy slowly got up. He walked to the balcony and could clearly see Hannah standing at the gate playing the victim. Not far behind her, many reporters were waiting for the matter to blow up.After a while, Jeremy saw Madeline wandering into his line of sight.She had a graceful figure, and the coat draped over her body gently swung with each of her elegant and steady steps.Madeline's aura was powerful, and her majestic walk beheld an invulnerable edge.Since Jeremy's eyesight was very good, he could clearly see that Hannah’s eyes went cold when she saw Madeline.Jeremy's cold eyes narrowed slightly; he was prepared to go downstairs at any time.In front of the gate of the old house.Hannah’s pale-looking face looked calm as she stared straight at the approac
Madeline raised her eyebrows and glanced in the direction where the reporters were. “Mom, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”“Of course, I know you know what you’re doing, and you have your own ideas, but I feel that we’re letting her take advantage of us.”Madeline smiled lightly when she heard that. “It’s not about taking advantage or not. Just treat her as a normal guest.”“Guest?” Karen's eyes were full of contempt. “If I hadn't seen a video of her making a fuss at the company, I would’ve treated her as a guest.”Karen muttered in annoyance. Still worried, she then warned, “Eveline, women like her never come with good intentions, so you have to be careful.”Madeline lowered her eyes and glanced at the gauze wrapped around the back of her hand. “I was at a disadvantage once, so there won’t be a next time.”“That's good.” Karen breathed a sigh of relief.The reporters who stayed not far in front of the door could not help but feel a little perplexed by the situation.They w
Madeline actually wanted Jeremy to be responsible for her?Did this mean that Madeline was agreeing to let her be part of the family?There were many doubts in Hannah's mind.While she was in a state of confusion and shock, she saw Karen pulling Madeline to the side.She then saw Karen whispering in Madeline's ear, but she could not hear what Karen was saying to Madeline.“Eveline, what are you talking about? Are you agreeing to take this woman on Jeremy’s behalf?”Karen looked at Madeline in confusion.Madeline nodded with a casual expression. “Yeah, since she so firmly wants Jeremy to be responsible for her, we’ll let her be part of the family.”“W-What?” Karen's eyes widened in shock, completely unable to understand what Madeline meant.“Eveline, you are crazy! Even if you agree to it, Jeremy won’t!”“I agree too.” Jeremy's voice suddenly slipped into her ears. Madeline and Karen looked over at him when they heard his voice. They did not know when Jeremy came downstairs.
Karen had not thought that this woman would dare to speak to her like this.Her chest rose and fell fiercely. She was so angry that she could not speak for a while.Madeline hurried to appease her. “Mom, calm down. I’ll accompany you upstairs to rest for a while.”Karen waved her hand and her brows were furrowed tightly. “Don't worry about me. I don't understand what you are doing, and I don't want to care.Karen said and turned around. Before going upstairs, she stared at Hannah in displeasure and said, “I don't care what you two are doing, but if you want to join this family, it’ll be over my dead body!”Karen said harshly, her fury evident.Madeline and Jeremy shared a look. They felt apologetic in their hearts, but now that things had turned out this way, this was the only way.Although Hannah disliked Karen's attitude, she was happy that she could stay here.After working so long with the Grays, she felt that Gray Manor was very imposing and that it was not a place where a
Displeased, Hannah glared at Madeline. “What are you doing?”Madeline raised her sharp and stern eyes before saying aggressively, “I said, don't touch my things.”After she finished reminding Hannah in a cold tone, she swung Hannah’s hand away and turned around.“Leave. Don't disturb my work. You can enjoy afternoon tea at this time.”As Madeline spoke, she noticed that Hannah was not speaking, but Madeline heard some movements instead.She turned her head to look over and found that Hannah was still reaching out and grabbing the perfume she had just made.This was the only finished product at the present, and Madeline had made an appointment to let the client try out this perfume tonight.Hannah noticed Madeline’s eyebrows furrowing, so she probably realized that Madeline cared about the perfume a lot.She curled her lips into a smirk. She held the bottle of perfume high in her hand and then pretended to let go.“Eveline, you care about this perfume a lot, don’t you?”Hannah
Madeline and Jeremy stopped in their tracks at the same time.Hannah's eyes were full of grievances, and her beautiful face was unyielding.“Mr. Whitman, you have agreed that I’ll live in your house and that you’ll be responsible for me, but you still stay with Eveline every day. How are you going to help me settle down?”Hannah asked very bluntly, but when she asked that question, it made her seem ignorant and simplistic.However, how simplistic could a person, willing to be used by Carter to achieve her goals, be?After hearing this, Jeremy evidently did not want to bother explaining to Hannah. His arms around Madeline's shoulder tightened slightly as he lowered his gaze and whispered to Madeline.“Linnie, let’s not allow irrelevant people to affect our mood,” he said softly, his eyes were gentle and filled with love. “Let's go.”Madeline did not want to continue dealing with Hannah, so she smiled and nodded.Jeremy lifted his handsome face that instantly turned cold. After t
He gently held Madeline's hand; his deep and alluring eyes were guilt-ridden.“If I had remained vigilant at that time, then this horrible thing wouldn’t have happened,” Jeremy said guiltily. “When Hannah caused a scene the other day, her actions caused ripples that affected the shares of Whitman Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise.“If she continues to make trouble, Linnie, your projects and orders on hand will be terminated because of her.“Right now, you have to suffer this grievance. It’s the only way.”Listening to Jeremy slowly apologizing to her, Madeline smiled magnanimously.“I was the one who came up with this, so I don't feel wronged. We must prioritize this. Besides, I don't think Hannah can impact our relationship in any way. On the contrary, I don't think she deserves any sympathy.”Madeline's eyes revealed a rare icy but beautiful glint.“She had feelings about you from the beginning. And she’s not a good person, through and through. She can’t say anything about
