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
Carter roared out furiously and hung up.Shirley did not know why he was so angry, nor did she know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring her to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa.He furrowed his eyebrows; his face looked extremely distressed.A while later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, he recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.Carter understood Shirley's current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because he could feel that in Shirley's heart, he was still very much present.“I'm going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don't go anywhere,” Carter informed and urged at the same time.Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower
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
