Jeremy's gaze looked exceptionally abstruse and complicated. He clasped Madeline's slender wrist tightly, tightening his hold on her inch by inch to not allow her to break free.He could not let go of her hand again. He could not...Madeline behaved coolly and calmly in the face of Jeremy's doubts.She curled the corners of her lips, seemingly revealing her annoyance. "If I remember correctly, Mr. Whitman, you promised me that you’d no longer suspect me of being your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford."Hearing her answer, the anticipation in Jeremy's eyes seemed to have been extinguished instantly and his hand that was holding Madeline gradually relaxed.Madeline withdrew her hand and took a sip of champagne. "To be honest, it's really annoying to be treated as a dead person every time. If it wasn't for me being afraid of pain, I would have really considered giving myself a makeover."Jeremy suddenly raised his eyes. "Don't get plastic surgery.""Hmm?" Madeline raised her eyebrows ligh
...Meredith had originally wanted to take advantage of this good day that was the 50th anniversary celebration of the Whitman family and borrow the power of the media to help establish her identity as well as status. She did not expect that Tanner and Vera’s appearance would completely disrupt her plan!Not only that, but there were also various searches being made on the internet that were not good for her.Meredith could only ask Eloise for her help to remove the searches.Even though all these public opinions had been suppressed, she was still feeling uneasy when it came to Jeremy.Meredith never saw Jeremy again in the entire night that passed. His phone line was always busy when she called him that Meredith had even wondered if her number was blocked.Worried that Jeremy would believe whatever Tanner said, Meredith went to Jeremy's villa early in the morning to wait for him. She had also deliberately chosen not to disturb or enter the house. She kept herself waiting at th
Meredith nodded sincerely. "Jeremy, no matter what you ask, I’ll answer you truthfully.""Okay." Jeremy's deep, black eyes were fixed on Meredith. "Did you really see the b*stard Tanner and Madeline together?""Yes! I really saw them with my own eyes!" Meredith answered without thinking.Jeremy's black eyes gradually sank and there was a chill in those bottomless eyes.Sensing that the surrounding airflow had suddenly become abnormally heavy, Meredith panicked, but she still insisted. "Jeremy, what I’ve said is all true! Jeremy, you have to believe me...""Believe you..."Jeremy repeated these two words as a mocking tint surged in his eyes."She spoke to me the same way back then, wanting me to believe her.""What?" Meredith looked at the unsmiling Jeremy. "Jeremy..."He parted his thin lips slightly. "I've already given you the chance." After saying this, he turned around coldly.The underlying meaning of this was obviously that he did not believe her!Meredith did not care
"Jeremy! Jeremy, you have to believe me! You can't condemn me for that madman Tanner's nonsense! Have you forgotten the days when we were at the beach? You said that I was the most innocent and kindest girl you’ve ever met! You said that you’d always be with me and make me your bride, that you would protect me and trust me forever. Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy!"Meredith did not think that Jeremy would ignore her up until this point.Seeing the sports car zipping away, Meredith stamped her feet in anger."Madeline, you b*tch! Why couldn’t you just die in peace?!"She turned around angrily and entered the villa. Seeing Jackson who was carrying his school bag and heading out, Meredith stepped forward while sending the servant to go buy vegetables. This left only her and Jackson in the house.Jackson looked at Meredith, his beautiful black eyes filled with defensiveness and repulsion. His little hand was gripping the shoulder strap of his school bag.The more she looked at him, the more h
Madeline stared at the deep, sea-like eyes in front of her with curiosity. "What's the matter?""I hope that you can help me find out the truth,” Jeremy said the words softly, his deep eyes pleading with anticipation.After Madeline quietly listened to what Jeremy wanted her to help him with, she was surprised.She thought for a moment before nodding."Okay, I’ll help you.""Thank you." Jeremy thanked her.At this moment, Madeline vaguely saw a faint smile in Jeremy's eyes, but it was fleeting. Madeline never thought that she could be herself again.Jeremy took her to the beauty salon. Madeline saw that Jeremy had shown a photo to the stylist, and the stylist nodded to express their understanding.Madeline did not know what photo Jeremy showed the stylist, but she saw herself in the mirror an hour later.Her long, dark, and smooth hair set off her clean and elegant face, giving her the illusion of having come from worlds away.Afterward, Jeremy took Madeline to the villa.Loo
It was still not her."That's good." Madeline smiled, satisfied. "I heard that Mr. Whitman hates Madeline very much. She has been dead for three years. Why do you still keep her old clothes in your room? "Jeremy locked his gaze on Madeline's face when he heard these words. "How do you know that these are my ex-wife's clothes?"Madeline smiled calmly. "This is a very simple guess, isn't it?"Hearing this rhetorical question, Jeremy smiled. "That's right."At the same time, Meredith contacted Tanner who had just come out of the hospital.Tanner had not gained anything last night, having been scared to death by the sudden appearance of a ‘ghost’. He was also severely beaten by Jeremy until he lost a tooth. He had simply suffered double the loss.He came out of the hospital as soon as he heard that tooth fillings cost tens of thousands of dollars.Where was he to get so much money as a quack? When he received a call from Meredith, he felt as if an opportunity had come.Meredith w
Seeing Tanner charge over, Madeline thought of the atrocities he had done to her.After a flash of a moment, when she had finally reacted to counterattack, a gust of wind roared from behind her all of a sudden.Jeremy's warm palms held onto her shoulders tightly, bringing her to the side.Madeline was instantly surrounded by a familiar yet unfamiliar warm breath. Before she could see clearly, she saw Tanner swiping the air before hitting the tree. It was followed by Jeremy's right hand twisting him around.Tanner suddenly screamed, "Ow, ow!" However, Jeremy did not let up. He lifted his foot to Tanner's knee and kicked him viciously, forcing Tanner to kneel down before kicking him away.Madeline thought that Jeremy wanted to continue to teach Tanner a lesson, but he suddenly hugged her tightly, worried."Don't be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again."His gentle voice slipped into her ears like water in the night. It was so unbelievably gentle, carrying a trace o
The person who looked for Tanner must have been Meredith.Madeline knew it very well, but she did not think Jeremy did.He had always believed in Meredith blindly.It was also because he had indulged Meredith again and again that it brought her such deep pain previously.However, if he really wanted to cover for Meredith, why did he take the extra effort to ask Madeline to pretend to be who she was back then to worm facts out of Tanner?Madeline thought that Jeremy would leave right away, but she did not expect him to follow her to the door of her apartment.“Can I go in and sit for a while?” Jeremy parted his lips lightly, requesting.It was already late at night. Madeline wanted to refuse, but she glanced at his bleeding hand and decided to open the door to let him in. “Come in.”She did not think she was feeling sorry for him. She just wanted to get some information from him.Madeline brought out the medical kit. Seeing the man sitting impassively on the sofa, she walked in
