The video ended. “Vera.” Jeremy rewatched the video twice as his heart thumped loudly in his chest. Quickly putting on his blazer, he dialed for Madeline. The call was left unanswered. He then sped to the location of the crash. Jeremy received a call just before he arrived. Jeremy felt his heart calm greatly at the caller ID. Tapping on his Bluetooth earphones, he answered the call nervously. “Vera?” “It’s me.” A familiar voice echoed through, soothing the taut hold over Jeremy’s nerves. He met Madeline ten minutes later, his gaze heavy as he scanned her unharmed appearance. He pressed on, asking, “Are you really alright?” Madeline stared calmly at the scratch on her leg. “It’s a small issue. Rather than worrying about me, Mr. Whitman, I’d rather you worry about your son instead.” Jeremy’s brows furrowed. “Jackson?” “Yeah. I have to ask you, is Jackson really Meredith’s son?” Madeline inquired confusedly. “I was shocked to see her leaving her son to be hit by
Meredith looked at Jeremy with her charming almond-shaped eyes that were filled with grievances as she said angrily, "Jeremy, Jack is our precious son. I wouldn’t allow him to be hurt at all as if my life depended on it. How could I have abandoned him?"Just then, Eloise slowly walked over with Jackson. Her contemptuous gaze was directed at Meredith. "Miss Quinn, I heard that you’re about to marry Jeremy's uncle, so why are you still hanging around here all day long with my daughter’s fiancé? Have your parents never told you that it’s shameless for you to do this?”Faced with Eloise’s sarcasm, Madeline merely gave a tranquil and composed smile. “You’ve asked a good question, Mrs. Montgomery. My parents didn’t teach me this because not long after I was born, they brought someone else’s child home and abandoned their biological daughter due to their moment of negligence."When Madeline mentioned her life experience all of a sudden, Jeremy looked at her unexpectedly.Seeing the elega
Madeline, who had not gone far, smiled quietly.This action of retreating to advance was very successful, and sure enough, it was her who Jeremy cared more for now.Jeremy kindly opened the car door for Madeline.Madeline got into the car and saw Meredith bursting from anger in the rearview mirror. She felt happy thinking about it.After the car started up, Madeline said while looking embarrassed, "Although I’ve promised you to no longer pursue the kidnapping case, it seems that they’re going to sue me instead? A robber acting like a cop. I can't bear this kind of grievance.""I won’t allow this to happen." Jeremy promised.Madeline looked at him with interest. "You’re really working hard for Meredith."Jeremy's eyes sank when he heard the words. He wanted to deny it, but in the end, he did not say anything.After a moment of silence, he seemed to have thought of something. "You told me just now that you have good news to tell me. What good news is it?"Madeline raised her del
Hearing that, Meredith did not feel angry this time but smiled instead."Vera Quinn, I think you've finally gone mad. You dare say this to me without any embarrassment?""I wouldn’t be crazy even when you’ve become crazy," Madeline retorted without being surprised, “Things have already reached this point. Do you still think Jeremy will want you?""Bah! Stop dreaming! Do you think that Jeremy will want you even if he doesn't want me?" Meredith folded her arms and sneered proudly, her eyes full of confidence, "Vera Quinn, let me tell you this. No matter how much you change your appearance, the woman Jeremy loves the most will always be me. I’m irreplaceable!"Seeing Meredith's confident and arrogant appearance, Madeline smiled. "Irreplaceable?" she repeated the word meaningfully. She smiled and picked up the expensive red wine, pouring a little to half of it into the glass in front of her."A mean, dirty, snake-hearted woman like you is indeed rare in the world. You can indeed be re
Meredith's eyes suddenly surged with strong killing intent. The look in her eyes was as if she wished she could slash Madeline with a thousand swords.She grabbed the pair of scissors from the cabinet, pointed the sharp end toward Madeline, and rushed at Madeline murderously.Meredith was full of anger and was trying her best to teach Madeline a bloody lesson.However, Madeline was not afraid. She even tried to dodge.She stretched out her hand calmly, seizing the opportunity to grasp Meredith's hand that was waving the scissors around.Meredith's almond eyes widened. She raised her other hand to sneak an attack on Madeline, but Madeline saw through it in a glance. While stopping Meredith, she unceremoniously raised her hand toward Meredith's face and sent a loud slap.With a slap, Meredith then exclaimed in pain.The knife wound on her face had not even healed yet and she was also drenched in red wine. After getting slapped, a fiery pain burned within her flesh."My face!" she
Meredith did not expect that Jeremy would push her away so simply. She was dumbfounded!She heard Jeremy calling out Vera's name nervously. The worry and concern in his tone clearly belonged to her alone!Now, however, he was giving it to another woman.What made Meredith even more astounded was that she was actually seeing Madeline sitting on the ground at this moment with a helpless and weak expression, as if she had been pushed down by someone."Why are you sitting on the floor?" Jeremy walked quickly toward Madeline before kneeling down. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with sadness and a rare tenderness.Madeline slowly raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Meredith who was behind Jeremy."If I said that this noble Miss Crawford pushed me down, would you believe me?" She looked at Jeremy's deep eyes innocently.When Meredith heard this, she clenched her fists violently and defended herself angrily. "Vera, what are you talking about? How could I have pushed
‘Meredith, finally you know what it’s like to not be trusted by the man you love.‘Everything that I’ve done today is nothing compared to the humiliation and set-ups you imposed on me in the first place.‘Of course, what I want to give back to you is much more than that.’“I always seem to hurt you lately.” Jeremy’s low, husky voice sounded softly. “But I promise that this situation will never happen again.”Madeline turned her head to look over and he happened to look up.Their two pairs of eyes met inadvertently. He had eyes as deep as the sea that looked as if they were rippling with dizzying vortexes. All of Madeline’s attention was drawn to him at once.Madeline’s heartbeat quickened somehow. She even felt a warmth slowly spreading from her ears to her cheeks.She looked at the unmatched, handsome face in front of her in a slight daze as her heartbeat accelerated. Soft ripples gradually dispersed from her initially clear and charming eyes, making her look coquettish for a m
Looking at Jeremy, he really did not seem to be joking, but Madeline did not think about really having another relationship with Jeremy again. On that night spent in April Hill, she had simply used his drunken state to deceive him.She would not allow herself to be played by this cold-blooded man again.Madeline wanted to break free, but her consciousness was slowly slipping away. She even felt her body gradually changing.The drug had dampened her senses, making her lean unconsciously into Jeremy’s chest.She was about to lose control of her gradually slipping consciousness as she took in the cold fragrance and the warm feeling of his body.Meredith had really gone all in. She had only taken a sip and did not expect the drug to be so effective.Sensing Jeremy carrying her into the room, Madeline, with the last traces of her clear-headed willpower, grabbed his collar firmly. “Jeremy, let me go…”She had said, but she found her voice to have become unusually charming. She was obv
