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
“Mess up?”Suspicious, Madeline raised her eyes and looked at Hannah, then she explained the situation in a calm tone.“What kind of mess up do you mean? A contract is signed for every order, and both parties are obligated to abide by the rules of the contract.”Hannah had never dealt with business matters before, so when Madeline asked, she was dumbfounded.However, of course, she wanted to ask what would happen if Madeline was the one who messed up.After thinking about it, Hannah spoke nonchalantly.“I’m also a member of the Whitman family, so I’m concerned about the situation in the Whitman Corporation, of course. What do you think I’m asking?”“A member of the Whitman family?”Madeline curled her lips slightly into a smile when she heard those terms.Hannah inexplicably felt that Madeline was mocking her when she saw Madeline’s smile.“What are you smiling at? Aren’t you the one who agreed to let me join the family? Mr. Whitman also said that he would be responsible for
“Who is this?”Madeline glanced at Hannah and introduced, “She just started learning with me…”“Hello, Mr. Sutton. My name is Hannah Bolton, and I am Mr. Whitman's person.”“...” Mr. Sutton was stunned.Madeline knew that Hannah had said this on purpose, and she also knew that the client had misunderstood.She smiled slightly and casually corrected Hannah, “This is Miss Bolton, and she just started to learn perfume making with me. She currently lives in Whitman Manor because of work requirements, so she is considered a guest of the Whitmans.”Upon hearing this, the client looked dazed. “I see.”“Yes.” Madeline smiled and nodded in affirmation.Hannah glared at Madeline in displeasure. When she wanted to emphasize her relationship with Jeremy, Madeline suddenly looked at her with a sharp look.Hannah had never seen Madeline look at her like this. The piercing glint in Madeline’s eyes was icy cold, and it instantly fell on Hannah’s face in a breathtaking manner.Hannah did not
Madeline was very calm when she spoke, but the aura her eyes exuded was abnormally domineering. Hannah was a little stunned at the sight of the cold expression on Madeline’s face. Hannah pursed her lips together, but she spoke not a single word. Since her first interaction with Madeline, she had felt that Madeline was a soft and gentle young mistress from a rich family. Madeline looked calm and collected no matter the circumstances. Tonight, however, Madeline was very different. Her eyes and her temperament looked extraordinarily stern. Hannah had to admit that she was frightened by this aura. “Do you know what you had just said in front of the client?” Madeline questioned her coldly. Hannah, stunned upon hearing that, then quickly recalled how she had introduced herself to that client named Mr. Sutton. She had said that she was Jeremy’s person. Despite her uneasiness, Hannah, still displeased with Madeline’s attitude, sneered arrogantly and disdainfully. “What did I
She knew Hannah was watching her, so at the present, she wanted Hannah to know who the matriarch of the family and Jeremy’s one true love was. As for Jeremy, he would not pay attention to how Hannah was feeling, of course. He did not even notice that there was another woman inside the car, and he only allowed Madeline to hold his arm to walk into the house. When Jackson, who had come home after school, saw Madeline, the handsome boy ran over to her happily while calling out to her. “Mommy, Mommy, I called Lily just now, and she said she missed me. She also misses Mommy and Daddy too.”As the little guy said that, his adorable eyebrows furrowed. “But Lily looked so haggard. Is she still sick?”Haggard. Madeline heard her son describing Lillian’s current state as haggard. She felt her heart aching, but she still gave her son a soft and amiable smile. Madeline then lifted her hand to caress the little guy’s head. “It’s because she’s not with Mommy, Daddy, and Jack, so that
