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
Madeline saw that Jeremy still had doubts about Hannah, so that was why he asked her out here to speak to her alone.Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the next office, Jeremy urged Madeline solemnly.“Linnie, I still find it a bit weird, so you better not get too close to her. In a while, I’ll call Ken to arrange the flight and send her back to St. Piaf.”Madeline nodded silently. “I also think that sending her back is the best arrangement. Even if her friends were boycotting her, I don't think her parents would leave her to fend for herself.”“We don’t need to worry about whether her parents would care for her or not. Linnie, she first came to the company to make trouble. She slandered your reputation and innocence, so she should bear the consequences now that the situation has escalated to this level after the clarification.”“Yeah, Jeremy, you’re right,” Madeline agreed. She then smiled in relief and took Jeremy's hand. “Then, I’ll do this according to your wish, honey.”
Before Madeline and Jeremy approached the crowd, they heard the young men and women swearing at Hannah.Hannah looked like she was in a panic. She did not dare to say anything.When she saw Madeline and Jeremy coming toward her, her eyes suddenly lit up as if she had just seen her savior. Then, she rushed straight toward them.“Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, help me!” Hannah ran over to ask for help.The servant at the door immediately stopped Hannah.“Madam, this is a private residence. Please leave immediately, all of you.”Hannah was stopped, so she pointed anxiously at Madeline and Jeremy.“I know Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. Please let me in, or they’ll kill me!”She yelled anxiously.With a suspicious look, the servant glanced at Madeline and Jeremy who were walking over.Jeremy nodded lightly, and the servant did not stop Hannah anymore.Hannah ran up to Madeline in a panic as she pleaded sincerely, “Mrs. Whitman, help me. These people want to take photos of me and they said the
Seeing this, Madeline quickly squatted. “Hannah, Hannah.”She called out twice but Hannah did not respond.“Jeremy, she seems to have passed out.”Jeremy's deep gaze stayed on Hannah's face for two seconds. Then, he reached out and helped Madeline up.“I'll call for an ambulance now, Linnie. Don't touch her.”“What’s going on? Who is this? Why is she unconscious?” Karen held her little grandson and walked up suspiciously.Hannah looked very battered right now, so Karen did not recognize that this was the woman who had made a fuss in Whitman Corporation’s lobby before this. When she saw that Hannah was on the ground, she summoned the servants out of sympathy.“It's not appropriate to lie on the ground in this cold weather. Help her up first and let her lie down for a while on the sofa.”The servants understood what Karen was asking them to do and worked together to lift Hannah.“Who were those people? Were they just a bunch of hooligans?” Karen asked.Madeline shook her head.
Madeline decided to take a look at how Hannah was doing, and Jeremy naturally followed her.Hannah was sitting on the sofa now and she looked very confused.As soon as she saw Madeline, she suddenly got up and ran over. She then grabbed Madeline's arm in shock and hugged her tightly.“Sis, where is this? Why am I here?”Sis?The way Hannah addressed Madeline surprised her.Hannah grabbed Madeline's arm even tighter.“Sis, I'm so scared. So many people want to scold me and beat me. I'm really scared…”Hannah's expression seemed to become more panicked as she tightly held Madeline’s arm, refusing to let go.Madeline looked at Jeremy suspiciously and then at Hannah.“Hannah, look closely. I’m not your sister.”When Hannah heard this, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Madeline's face seriously for a while.“Why would you not be my sister? We grew up together. I know. It must be because Mom and Dad have always loved me more since we were children and neglected you, so n
After Jeremy finished saying that, he walked straight to the toilet.Madeline was curious too. Even she thought that Hannah’s mood had changed too suddenly.However, her expressions looked so genuine earlier.Since she was worried something bad might happen, Madeline walked over hurriedly.Jeremy walked to the door of the toilet and was about to open the door. However, he could not turn the knob. Obviously, Hannah had locked the door from inside.If that was the case, they could not go in even with a key.Jeremy did not have much patience dealing with women other than Madeline.He directly ordered in a cold voice, “Open the door.”Jeremy’s tone was extremely cold. He was also not discussing with Hannah; he was ordering her.However, Hannah did not respond to him.Jeremy raised his hand to knock on the door hard. “Open the door. If you don’t want to cause a commotion, open the door right now.”Jeremy ordered again. Then, a small voice came from inside.A few seconds later, M
“There are so many weird people in this world. How could she come to our house to kill herself? Was she trying to frame Eveline and Jeremy?”Eloise sighed after she heard that from the side. “Sigh, my Eveline is so unfortunate. Trouble hasn’t stopped even after so long.”When Madeline heard Eloise’s words that were filled with worry, she smiled and walked over.“Mom, don’t worry about me. I’m fine now.”Eloise lifted her eyes to look over. “Eveline, you’re back! What’s the situation now? Is that woman’s life in danger?”Madeline shook her head. “The doctor called Jeremy on our way back. They said she’s not in any danger.”“That’s good.” Eloise and Karen let out sighs of relief.Even though Hannah did a lot of things that annoyed them, her life was important too. They did not wish for something bad to happen to her.Karen asked the servants to clean the toilet and asked them to watch the door so that outsiders would not come in again.After the kerfuffle with Hannah, Madeline f
Hannah's eyes suddenly became sharp, and they were full of aggression. It was as if she had been triggered at the mention of Jeremy.“It has nothing to do with that, so don't overthink.” Madeline went back to the main topic. “Hannah, do you really not know who I am?”When Madeline asked that, she carefully observed the changes in Hannah's eyes.However, Hannah did not show the unnatural demeanor or behavior that Madeline thought she would. She was just very confused as she looked at Madeline a little bit incomprehensibly.“Sis, you’re my elder sister.” Her tone was affirmative, while her eyes looked weak and innocent. “Sis, I only have you now. Please don't abandon me.”“Hannah, I really am not…”Creak.As Madeline was explaining, the door of the ward was pushed open.Jeremy's tall and lean body instantly appeared in Madeline's vision.“Jeremy?” Madeline widened her eyes in surprise. “Why are you here?”Jeremy looked at Madeline with a serious face as he strode in.“Linnie,
