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
Eloise had always been willing to do anything for her daughter, but she felt even more distressed when Meredith said this."Meredith, don't worry. Your mother will never allow you to be bullied so simply! I want everyone here today to take a clear look at Young Master Whitman who’s the richest and most powerful man in Glendale but truly an indifferent scumbag. And this one named Vera Quinn who’s also a despicable and shameless vixen!"Gasp!The guests were all shocked to hear Eloise's words.Hearing this, it seemed that Vera Quinn was meddling in between Jeremy and Meredith’s relationship, causing Meredith to be abandoned."Mom, don't say it, don't say it! It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Jeremy and Miss Vera. Let's go!" Meredith burst into tears, her weak and weeping appearance looking pitiful.Many people had begun to side with her. After all, they knew little about the history of the relationship between Meredith and Jeremy while Vera looked like a third party.Mo
As Madeline's voice fell, the surrounding gradually became quiet.The truth about this incident?Is what that was just said not the truth?Everyone was looking at each other all confused.Meredith knew in her heart that she was the culprit, and when Madeline said this all of a sudden, she could not help but feel guilty.When thinking about how she could fight back, Eloise stepped forward to defend her immediately."Vera Quinn, you really are an insidious woman. You just want to tarnish my daughter’s reputation!"Eloise pointed at Madeline with uncontrollable anger and rebuked."You spent money to hire those men to kidnap Meredith and had her suffer such cruel abuse. Not only that, but you also put this matter up onto the internet to cause such a fuss, which then hurt Meredith’s reputation. I’ll seek justice for my daughter today!""Mom..." Meredith hugged Eloise's arm tearfully and leaned against her very weakly. "Forget it, Mom. I don't want to push it anymore. I don't want J
"I know all of you heard that I was kidnapped a while ago. Yes, I was kidnapped and humiliated by a few men. The mastermind of this incident is this Miss Vera Quinn. I didn't want to look into this initially, but she has now turned the tables and is slandering me like this. I really can’t bear it."Meredith bit her lip and pointed at Madeline quickly."Vera Quinn, I want to denounce you!"As her voice fell, the guests unanimously chose to stand on Meredith's side."Miss Crawford, we all support you.""Vera Quinn, you’re so damnable!""Miss Meredith, don't worry. All of us here support you in denouncing this woman!""Vera Quinn, with your character, don't think that we will ever patronize Miss L.ady again in the future. I believe it will not be long before Miss L.ady will go bankrupt!""Shut up all of you!"In the crowd, a cold voice struck out strongly and violently, interrupting the angry words that were being thrown at Madeline.Everyone could not help but be stunned. They
Madeline spoke unhurriedly as she took out her mobile phone and showed a phone number on the screen.Everyone looked over, and Meredith was stunned when she saw a string of numbers displayed on the screen.She did not understand it at first, but after watching for a few seconds, her face went green as her eyes flickered.Seeing her panicking and shirking, Madeline smiled comfortably.“Miss Crawford, why aren’t you speaking? Do you find this number familiar? Of course, you’re familiar with it, because this is your foster mother, Rose Tanner's, phone number."Madeline smiled and walked gracefully to Meredith. Her elegant and proud temperament had crushed Meredith in seconds."Miss Crawford, you’re indeed very smart. You were afraid that if the incident was exposed, you would draw fire to yourself, so you used your foster mother's mobile phone to contact the four hoodlums. Now, the phone still retains the call records from the time. Even if they’ve been cleared, one can just go to t
