What?After hearing what Jeremy said, Meredith was like a deflated balloon. Her knees went weak and she took a step back.The threats and warnings she said to Vera earlier all appeared in her head immediately. ‘Let me tell you, Vera Quinn, this is how I disfigured Madeline back then. If you dare to cross me again, I’ll let you have a taste of that pain she felt!’Meredith’s face turned even paler than before while her heart raced furiously.She had indeed said those words just now.She was so infuriated by Vera, so her true self came out and she revealed her past misdeeds.Jeremy looked at the changes in Meredith’s eyes and expression. He said in a disappointed tone, “You told me that it was your father Sean who hired someone to slash Madeline’s face. I guess that’s not the truth. You’re the one who did that.”“N-No, that’s not it…” Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s arm. She shook her head to deny everything. Her eyes were filled with tears at this moment. “I didn’t hurt Maddie. I reall
Rose had heard Jeremy and Meredith’s conversation earlier, but she did not expect it to get exposed so quickly.She comforted Meredith, saying, “Mer, you can’t admit defeat now. You have to get the position of Mrs. Whitman! Not only is it a symbol of status, but it’ll also give you limitless wealth!”Rose’s eyes were filled with greed. There was a hint of savageness in her eyes. “I’ll take care of that Vera Quinn for you.”After venting for a while, Meredith touched her wounded face while she gritted her teeth.“Of course, I won’t admit defeat so easily! I’ll kill anyone who dares to steal my man away from me!”Her eyes were filled with venom. Sinister ruses were starting to appear behind her eyes.“Hmph, Vera Quinn, I’ll let my mother teach you a lesson. But it’s not you, Mom. It’s Eloise!”…Jeremy drove away from the hospital and arrived at a location somewhere.During his drive here, he felt like a puppet with no senses nor thoughts. He drove apathetically while his brain
On the way back to the manor, what Jeremy’s mother said to him through the phone earlier was still replaying in his head.Unbeknownst to him, he started to speed up his car and after more than ten minutes, he drove into the manor’s garage.After he got out of the car, he walked straight to the living room. When he was at the door, he saw the face of his dreams. That stunning and alluring face was in his field of vision.Jeremy stopped in his tracks as his heartbeat sped up.Madeline lifted her head and saw Jeremy. She smiled bashfully at him, her eyes looking so lively that it was like they were able to speak to him. There were so many emotions in them.“I thought Felipe was here, but it’s just you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline smiled softly.Jeremy’s speeding heart went back to its normal pace at that instant. He narrowed his eyes while maintaining a smile on his lips. “Are you waiting for Felipe?”“Felipe and I planned to come here together, but he had something to take care of sudd
He came back to his senses and saw Felipe walking over to him.Madeline walked past him, and her faint scent lingered in his nostrils. She smelled so sweet and had a unique scent to her.“Jeremy.” When Felipe saw Jeremy, he greeted him naturally.He was always so poised and refined, looking like a gentleman in his every move.Jeremy looked at the two of them as they held hands. He just glanced at them coldly.Madeline looked at Jeremy and turned around to smile at Felipe. “Felipe, let’s go in.”“Okay.” Felipe smiled softly, holding Madeline’s hand as he led her into the living room.Jeremy’s mother was on a call. When she saw Madeline and Felipe walking over hand in hand, she rolled her eyes in contempt before hanging up.“Oh, Felipe, you’re here,” Jeremy’s mother said in a strange voice. Then, she looked at Madeline from the corner of her eyes. “Say, are you really going to marry this woman?”Felipe smiled. He was being extremely polite. “As my elder, I hope you can have some
Everyone’s gaze landed on Jeremy who had voiced his opinion all of a sudden.There was a layer of frost on his handsome face and his eyes looked as piercing as icepicks.“Jeremy, I’ll marry Vera no matter what,” Felipe said calmly, but his tone was firm.“I won’t let you guys get married.” Jeremy’s calm and unhurried answer crashed against him. His tone was even firmer than Felipe’s.Madeline frowned. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Whitman? Who are you to oppose our marriage?”He pressed his lips together as his icy gaze landed on Madeline’s face. His eyes were filled with intense encroachment.“I won’t let you become my aunt because of your face.”His tone was domineering while his expression was cold and certain.Madeline scoffed. “I can’t marry your uncle just because I look like your ex-wife? If that’s the case, do you think it’s only suitable for me to marry a man who looks like you, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy was tongue-tied. He looked straight at her and their eyes met. It fe
Madeline came alone to the hospital where Meredith was staying in. There was a huge crowd gathering at the hospital. Everyone was looking at the highest floor of the building.When she saw this, Madeline looked up as well. She could see a white figure sitting at the railing. Judging from the person’s face, it was indeed Meredith.She immediately took the lift to the roof. She thought Jeremy would be there already, but there was no one else there. Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.However, he had looked worried just now. Was he not worried about Meredith?Why else did he run away so hurriedly?When she was contemplating about that, she heard Eloise bawling and screaming in devastation in front of her. “Mer, don’t do this. I’m begging you. Can you please come down?”Eloise’s voice was already hoarse from crying. It was evident how much she was worried about Meredith.Madeline clenched her fists unconsciously. She looked forward and saw that her birth father, Sean, was there as well.
After Madeline said that, the air around them froze instantly. The only sound that could be heard was the autumn wind howling on the roof. It was blowing past their faces again and again.Eloise’s expression changed as she looked at Madeline in disbelief. “W-What did you say? What did you just say?”Sean also strode toward Madeline at this moment. He was looking at her with a questioning gaze. “What nonsense are you spewing? My biological daughter is here. She’s well and alive! How can you curse her by saying that she’s been dead for three years?!”Madeline smiled sarcastically before letting go of Eloise’s hand. “I’m not cursing your precious daughter. I’m just repeating what was said,” she said calmly while pointing at Rose.“I heard her saying this with my own two ears. She said your daughter has been dead since three years ago.”“What?”Eloise and Sean looked at Rose in disbelief.“Nonsense!” Rose denied. Despite feeling frantic, she did not show it. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery
“If Madeline is a witch, then what about your precious daughter?” Madeline could not help but snort. “She worked with an outsider to kidnap her own son and pushed the blame to Madeline. Did you forget about that? In order to make Jeremy hate Madeline, she stole someone’s bracelet and framed her as the thief. Did you also forget about that? Mrs. Montgomery, just ask yourself, who’s the real witch here?”“You…” Eloise was speechless after she was talked back to like this.“I didn’t. I didn’t do those things…” Meredith quibbled while crying. She bit her lip aggrievedly, looking extremely pitiful right now. “Vera Quinn, why do you want to slander me? You’ve already successfully incited disharmony between me and Jeremy. Plus, you’ve even disfigured me. Will you only be happy after I’m dead? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’m going to jump now!”“No, Mer!”“Mer!”Eloise and Sean stopped her frantically. However, Madeline only scoffed in disdain.“Alright, hurry up. Stop dilly-dally
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
