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
Madeline reached out and pushed him away just in case, but Jeremy did not let go of her. He took off his shoes and stepped into the bathtub while hugging her.Madeline was surprised that Jeremy actually made such a move.Cold, flowing water was continuously falling from the shower. It quickly wetted his clothes.Yet, he was unmoving and was as steady as a rock. He hugged her, letting the cold water soak through his body…As time passed, Jeremy, who sat behind Madeline, was gradually losing his focus and blankly staring at the familiar appearance. He involuntarily hugged her a little tighter.“Madeline…” he could not help but whisper softly.Madeline suddenly opened her beautiful eyes that were gradually recovering consciousness. Cold water droplets dripped from her curled eyelashes, falling silently on the back of her hands.Although Jeremy’s voice was inaudible, Madeline heard it.Madeline.‘What intimate affection. Jeremy, I used to wish you could call me like that.‘But al
Despite feeling surprised on the inside, Madeline still maintained an elegant and calm smile.She lifted her picturesque brows and showed a slightly confused expression. “Is there a special mark on my body? How come I don’t know of it? So, what did you see?” she asked calmly, but her heartbeat had started to become tense.His deep black eyes were looking at her own as his lips curled up slightly. “There’s a pale pink butterfly at the back of your left waist.”His low, husky voice carried the languidness and casualness of the early morning hours.“I think it should be a birthmark.”Madeline quietly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his answer. She curled her lips and smiled faintly. “It’s a birthmark.”“A very special birthmark.”“So what if it’s special? I was still abandoned by my biological parents.” Madeline lowered her gaze and ate her breakfast quietly.The morning halo shone through the glass window and scattered on her sweet, elegant face. Her dense eyelashes fluttere
On the other side, Meredith had hired people to keep an eye on Jeremy’s villa all night. Knowing that Madeline had been in Jeremy’s bedroom all night, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!She had gotten rid of Madeline completely after all the trouble three years ago, but who knew there would be a woman who looked so much like Madeline.The main thing was that this woman was not as easy to deal with as Madeline.Meredith stood in front of her mirror. Looking at the unhealed scar on her face, she became more upset.She had almost used up all the methods available, yet Jeremy was instead becoming colder toward her. She also knew that only by continuing to play the role of ‘Little Linnie’ would it be possible to snatch Jeremy back.Firstly, she needed to treat the wound on her face.Madeline was thinking when she suddenly felt a little itch on the back of her left waist. She scratched it a little but realized it was getting itchier, so she took a look in the mirror an
Jeremy was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, his tall and stylish figure perfectly outlined.His countenance was golden while his noble and elegant temperament was revealed in his gestures.It was this side of Jeremy that Meredith had wanted to seize when she first saw him!She had seized him with conspiracy and tricks for many years, but she did not expect this perfect man to be holding another woman's hand today.Meredith angrily looked at Vera who was walking beside Jeremy. What was even more unacceptable was that she had thought that the evening dress Vera was wearing was one that Jeremy ordered for her, but it turned out that he bought it for Vera!She had been looking forward to it for so long for naught!In the end, reality hit her with a resounding slap!Jeremy had always been a shining spot in the crowd. The guests in the garden noticed his appearance, and at the same time, they saw Madeline who was next to him arm in arm.The woman in their eyes was not that deva
