Jeremy did not want to hear Madeline persuade himself in any euphemistic way, but as he listened to Madeline, he started to slowly come to a compromise.After Madeline finished telling him her suggestion, she raised her eyes and blinked at the serious-looking man. “What do you think, honey? Is this a good idea?”Jeremy looked at the eyes as bright as the stars in front of him and nodded almost strangely. “Okay, I’ll listen to my wife.”Very satisfied with Jeremy's answer, Madeline smiled sweetly and pecked Jeremy's cheek lightly.Jeremy was delighted, and he hugged Madeline.“Darling, let's go to sleep. We’ll get a good night's sleep and deal with the troublesome people and troubles tomorrow.”“Okay.”Madeline agreed.Since she went to bed early, Madeline woke up early the next day.When she got up, she went to prepare breakfast for Jackson and checked his schoolbag. After that, she sat at one side and watched her son eat.Jackson saw Madeline's gaze on him so he could not he
It had happened so suddenly that Jackson was stunned.Madeline intuitively tried to protect Jackson when suddenly a knife was placed at her back.“Eveline, drive where I tell you to.”The commanding voice of a woman came from behind her, and Madeline raised her eyes to glance at the rearview mirror. She was not surprised at the face that appeared in the mirror.“Eveline, did you hear me? I asked you to drive!”“Why are you yelling at my mommy? Hurry up and get that dangerous thing away from my mommy!” Jackson tried to stop her.“Hmph, you little thing. I’d suggest that you do not talk. If you dare to speak again, I won’t be so courteous toward you!” the woman threatened.“I'm driving now. Don’t argue with a child.” Madeline glanced in the rearview mirror, lowered her eyes to Jackson, and hinted at him, “Jack, don't worry about me. She’s just playing a game with me.”“Eveline, who wants to play games with you? You better know what’s good for you and don’t pull any stupid tricks!
Realizing this, Hannah suddenly flustered.“Eveline, you’ve been playing tricks on me this whole time.”“I didn't. You told me yourself you wouldn’t let this rest so easily,” Madeline replied calmly.“You…”Hannah’s eyes turned red from anger. She then suddenly took a sharp fruit knife from her pocket and pointed it to Madeline.“You’ve been playing me like a monkey!” Hannah roared out, looking very aggressive. “I will not let you leave today! I will definitely not let you leave! Ah!”Suddenly, Hannah lost control of her emotions and rushed toward Madeline.At this moment, the door of the rooftop was kicked open and a figure rushed toward Hannah’s side like a sharp sword being pulled out of its sheath.Hannah was pushed over by a strong force. When she looked up and saw clearly, Jeremy had come to Madeline's side, tightly protecting her in his arms.Hannah gritted her teeth fiercely. When she got up to continue attacking Madeline, Jeremy suddenly lifted his long legs and kicke
“Hallucinations? Have I been hallucinating it all?” Hannah asked, but her eyes turned malevolent. “Eveline, do you think I don't know? You just made up such a lie to prevaricate me because you don’t want me to seek justice for myself. I’m not a three-year-old kid. I can tell right from wrong!”“You can't. When you lost consciousness, you didn’t even know that you had merely been dreaming.”Madeline still patiently explained, “Hannah, if you don’t believe it, you can go to a hospital for an examination. The doctor will tell you your current physical condition, and you’ll immediately know that your body is still intact because everything you thought has happened is just a dream in your head.”“A dream? Heh.”Hannah smiled bitterly. The redness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and endless tears escaped from her eyes.“So, all this while, I’ve been the dramatic one? I was just having wishful thinking of ending up with Mr. Whitman. And I even went to the lobby of Whitman Corporation
Jeremy was not joking. His sharp eyes told Hannah that he did not have the patience to be kind to her. His tolerance for her had already reached its limit.After Jeremy had said that, Hannah momentarily fell silent.She looked at Jeremy dazedly, thinking about her wishful thinking of wanting to end up with this man who had done nothing but ignore her until the very end. She then felt even more disrespected and humiliated.When she heard Jeremy talking to her like that, even though Hannah’s heart was ridden with fear, she felt that Jeremy was just scaring her and that he would not really let go. Moreover, Madeline would never allow him to let go even if he would.After thinking about it, Hannah braced herself, gritted her teeth, and said, “Just let go! I didn't even ask you two to help me. Mr. Whitman, if you’re siding with this woman, you should just side with her till the end. Out of sight, out of mind. Let go now!”Hannah looked sterned and seemed to be welcoming death, but her
Hannah looked at Madeline who approached her, and after a brief pause, she cried even harder now.Madeline knelt slowly. “Don't cry.”Through Hannah's misty and teary eyes, she saw a clean handkerchief appearing in front of her.“Wipe your tears. Stop crying.” Madeline comforted, “If someone who cares about you knows that you’re crying so hard now, they will definitely feel distressed.”Upon hearing Madeline's words, Hannah laughed self-mockingly and spoke slowly.“I’ve been the apple of my family’s eyes since I was a child, and my parents regarded me as their treasure. Gradually, I became very proud and complacent. I went to Gray Manor to be a maid not because I wanted to be a maid, but to prove myself.”As Hannah said that, she cried even harder.Madeline squatted in front of Hannah, quietly and patiently listening to Hannah talk about the dissatisfaction and depression in her heart.“Soon after that, I was able to prove myself because only exceptional girls could work as mai
Madeline stood up and reached out to Hannah.“Get up.”After hearing Madeline's urging, Hannah lifted her head and she dazedly stared at Madeline's palm outstretched in front of her.How could this be?Was this not her hallucination?“Even if we can’t be friends, we don’t have to be enemies, right?”Madeline asked with a generous smile, and her palm moved closer to Hannah.Hannah felt more ashamed in her heart when she saw Madeline’s warm smile.“I’m sorry.”Finally, those two words came out of Hannah's mouth.She did not have the slightest perfunctory or hypocrisy. This apology was entirely sincere.Madeline curled her lips into a smile. “I accept your apology.”As she said that, she shook her hand lightly.Hannah instantly understood Madeline's meaning, and she finally reached out her hand to gently hold Madeline's hand.At that moment, she felt her palm turning warm in the cold winter wind.This warm touch slowly reached all the way to her heart.“Thank you, Eveline.
This was a pretty good ending.Jeremy smiled and bent down to hug his son. “Jack, don't worry. Your mommy is so smart, how would she allow that nasty woman to bully her?”“Really?” Jackson was still a little uneasy. “Mommy, were you really not being bullied by that nasty woman?”When she saw that her son was so worried about her, Madeline nodded vigorously and affirmatively.“Really, I’m fine.”“That’s good. It’s good that you’re fine, Mommy.” Jackson breathed a silent sigh of relief.“Of course, nothing will happen to her because she expected this to happen a long time ago.” Jeremy carried his son while explaining and walking towards the car parked at the door.Jackson blinked his eyes curiously. “What does this mean?”“It means that your mommy has long known that this nasty woman will find her, so she has long been prepared, and I’ve always been behind Mommy. So, as long as Mommy might get bullied, I’ll show up to protect her,” Jeremy explained patiently.After hearing that,
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
