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,
“Mrs. Whitman, help me!”The person asked Madeline for help. She looked terrified and panicked, and she also looked battered and exhausted.“What happened? I thought you had returned to St. Piaf. Why are you still in Glendale?” Madeline asked patiently.When Hannah was about to answer, there was a sound of overlapping footsteps outside the parking lot, accompanied by the voices of several women talking.“I saw her running in here just now.”“Let's go in and take a look!”“I’ll teach her a painful lesson later!”“Mrs. Whitman, help me!” Hannah quickly asked for help again.Madeline glanced at the source of the sound and then unlocked the car.“Get in the car first.”“Thank you!” Hannah thanked and hurriedly got into the passenger seat.After that, Madeline got into the car and stepped on the accelerator.As she turned the steering wheel, she caught a glimpse of a few young and fashionable girls walking quickly into the parking lot.Hannah, who was sitting in the passenger s
The restaurant staff was busy with their own work, and the customers dining did not care who entered the restaurant.However, Hannah, who seemed very nervous and flustered, remained by Madeline's side. Even when she was eating, she kept her head low and did not utter a word. She only focused on eating.After eating, Madeline asked Hannah to follow her to Whitman Corporation.Madeline asked the head of the clothing department to bring two sets of samples to let Hannah change into. After changing into those clothes, Hannah shrank into the corner of the sofa with a look of alertness and fear.The sight of Hannah’s behavior made Madeline feel that something is strange.In fact, before the clarification, Madeline had expected that the netizens would scold Hannah, but she had not expected that netizens to be so outraged.Madeline did not want to see Hannah being driven to insanity too.Jeremy had just finished lunch by himself when he heard that Madeline was here, so he went to Madeli
