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
Hannah looked around the factory. She realized the employees were all focused on their work while Madeline was talking to the person in charge of the factory. After they finished talking, Madeline would inspect the factory. Hannah did not want to let Madeline inspect the manufacturing process of the perfume. When she saw Madeline changing her clothes before going into the factory, she figured she must carry through whatever happens. As such, she ran over directly to make a fuss. “Eveline!”Madeline was in the process of changing into a coat to enter the factory when suddenly, she saw Hannah running into the room hurriedly, yelling out Madeline’s name. Puzzled, Madeline looked at Hannah. “Is there an urgent matter? If it’s not urgent, I need to inspect the factory first.”“Of course, it's urgent since I came to you so hurriedly.”Hannah said with an anxious look on her face. She then looked at the person in charge and the manager behind Madeline. Suddenly, the look in her eye
“I mean whatever you meant.” Madeline did not bother explaining or arguing with Hannah. “If you had really come to your senses, then you should do your work properly with me. But if you hadn’t, then I’d remind you not to say anything unseemly at inappropriate times.”Madeline decisively and straightforwardly warned Hannah. Her arrogant eyes scanned Hannah’s face before she strode into the factory. Hannah, terrified that Madeline would see the tampered data, quickly ran up to stop her. “Eveline! Stop right there, Eveline!”“Don’t let that person enter the factory.”Without even turning back, Madeline ordered the security guard who was watching the entrance to the workshop before continuing walking inside coolly. The security guard stopped Hannah from entering. When Hannah saw that Madeline had entered the building, she angrily stomped her feet. She waited outside the door anxiously, nervous that Madeline would sense something wrong. Approximately half an hour later, Madel
The look in Madeline's eyes prevented Hannah from lying.Hannah, somewhat guilt-ridden, hesitated and looked out of the car window, then chuckled sadly.“What other choice do I have? I have to go on with my life, so I have to compromise, don't I?”Hannah replied reluctantly.“Now, I finally understand that I simply can't compete with you. I was too self-righteous and naive from the start. Also, Mr. Whitman is not a man I can strive for.”Hannah said with a sad sigh and lowered her eyes.“Mr. Whitman is a very attractive man. I only blame myself for not recognizing my identity and status. I insisted on wishful thinking, and now I’m like a moth to a flame. Sigh…”Hannah sighed deeply after saying that.Madeline looked at Hannah calmly and listened to what she said.“Is there anything else you want to say to me besides this?” Madeline asked meaningfully.Hannah was taken aback for a moment. She then lifted her head, met Madeline's gaze, and spoke with certainty.“I have already
A mischievous, expectant smirk appeared on her face as she watched the client squirt a few pumps of the perfume on the test paper. The client then shook the test paper, brought it to his nose, and sniffed.However, before the client finished smelling the perfume, Hannah faintly smelled a faint and similar scent.This faint and light scent was clearly the smell of the bottle of perfume that she smelled in Madeline’s laboratory that day.It was the exact same scent!“This is it. How refreshing.” The client’s praises pulled the currently dumbstruck Hannah back to her senses.Hannah stared blankly at the client who picked up another bottle of perfume to try out the scent. Once again, there was no difference.The smell of this batch of perfume was exactly the same as one Madeline brought on the day of the testing!This greatly confused Hannah, but at the same time, it also greatly depressed her and pissed her off.“Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, I am very satisfied with this collaborati
Hearing what Madeline asked and seeing the content that Madeline was referring to, Hannah was certain that Madeline had already known what Hannah had done!Hannah’s expression changed drastically, her face turning pale and red, seemingly mortified.Madeline calmly looked at Hannah. “At the time, Jeremy reminded you, didn’t he? He told you to leave my laboratory as soon as possible and to not touch anything in there, but you still did.”Hannah, not wanting to be convicted just like that, gritted her teeth and argued.“What did I touch? Eveline, don't try to wrongfully accuse me again!’“You know very well whether I’ve wronged you. The surveillance in my laboratory captured it very clearly too. Why? Do you want to verify it?”“...”At the mention of the surveillance, Hannah was momentarily speechless.She stared at the calm and composed Madeline, and Hannah felt powerless to argue. As such, she simply let go of all pretenses.“Eveline, you've known it for a long time, so why are
‘Am I actually hateful in Mr. Whitman's eyes?’She felt more and more aggrieved, tears of dissatisfaction fell from her eyes. Exasperated, she then raised her hand and swept the perfume bottles on the shelf.“Jeremy, Eveline, I hate you!”Hannah yelled at Madeline and Jeremy, then she turned around and ran away, not caring where she was running to.Jeremy frowned. He did not care about Hannah, but he felt sorry for the smashed perfume.“She broke some of them, and now the quantity isn’t right. I’ll ask the factory to work overtime,” Jeremy said and was about to make the call.Madeline stopped him and said, “It doesn't matter. Mr. Sutton is very easy-going, and it’s not a lot, so he won't mind.”Jeremy knelt and picked up the broken perfume bottle. “What I feel sorry for is your hard work.”Upon hearing this, Madeline's heart warmed.She smiled and walked up to Jeremy's side, then she squatted down and cleaned the perfume on the ground with him.“I think she’ll come back again
