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
Hannah, thinking that she would have to pester Madeline for a long time before Madeline would agree, had not expected Madeline to agree so readily.She smiled satisfactorily, but she looked pointedly at Madeline.“Since you’ve promised me, you can't go back on it.”“I won't take back what I said and the promises I made, but I want to remind you that perfume making is not an easy task, so don't give up halfway.”When she heard Madeline's words, Hannah let out a pejorative chuckle.“Thank you for being so considerate, but you can rest assured that I’ve suffered from all kinds of hardships since I was a child, so I’ve always been fearless, and I’m not afraid of hardship.”Based on Hannah’s words, Madeline finally understood why Hannah’s personality was so unrestrained.It turned out that it was all because of her life experience.However, being unrestrained was not a personality that was worth showing off.“Eveline, can I learn from you now?” Hannah asked impatiently.Madeline n
When she heard what Madeline had said, Hannah nodded gently, but her eyes were full of doubt and disdain. “Eveline, you seem very confident.”“If you don't have this confidence, customers wouldn’t pay a high price to ask me to make the perfume for them.”“Hmph.” Hannah chuckled, expressing her defiance. “I believe that no matter what it is, as long as you do it seriously, as long as you work hard at it, you’ll be rewarded! You may be good at perfume making, but practice makes perfect.”Madeline heard Hannah’s overconfident words, and Madeline did not want to make any rebuttals.She already knew that Hannah was like this.Apart from the times when she would be a little afraid in front of Carter, she was self-centered and quite conceited.Madeline said nothing. She merely allowed Hannah to stay with her in the laboratory.Hannah, who seemed very focused on learning, watched Madeline making perfume.During this time, Madeline went to the restroom and unexpectedly ran into Jeremy w
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
