He had never gotten so angry in front of others before, but today, he did it for Vera. He was breaking his usually regal and noble visage."Jeremy, you heard what Rose said. Meredith is the victim. She’s innocent!" Eloise suddenly emphasized. She would rather believe Rose's explanation than Meredith’s despicableness."Aren’t you going to hurry up and let go of that woman? Where is Meredith’s place in this?"Of course, Jeremy would not let Madeline go. Instead, he hugged her even tighter and glanced at the woman in his arms softly."I will never let go of this woman in my life. As for your daughter, I’ve already canceled my engagement with her. Don't make me repeat it."As Jeremy spoke with such a leisurely tone, he hugged Madeline and turned directly into the house.Eloise watched this scene dumbly, gritting her teeth with anger.This scene was so offending, hateful, and embarrassing for Meredith!Jeremy had completely denied their marriage in front of so many people, even publ
Madeline pursed her lips and smiled, her intoxicating dimples blooming on the sides of her lips.“Don’t you want me to fall in love with you? The truth is, you still love Meredith, right?” She pulled on his necktie with a hint of grievance in her eyes. “If this is the case, I’ll leave now and never see you again.”Madeline pretended to be disappointed and let go of Jeremy’s necktie.As soon as his neckline was loosened, Jeremy felt the warmth flowing away from his heart.Seeing her turning around with disappointment in front of his eyes, he froze in a trance. It felt as if his heart was suddenly stabbed by an invisible needle.“Don’t go.”Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s wrist.Madeline, who had not taken more than a step, stopped abruptly. At the back where Jeremy could not see, she quietly raised a triumphant smile.It was just that she had not even enjoyed this victory for more than a few seconds before Jeremy suddenly used his force to bring her into his arms.Madeline crashed in
“Old Master Whitman, I know you have a deep misunderstanding toward me, but…”“There’s no need to explain anything to me. You know very well what you’ve done.”“…” Meredith was speechless.Just then, Rose knelt down in front of Old Master Whitman with a plop. “Old Master Whitman, I did it all on my own. Meredith didn’t know about it at all. When she knew, she deliberately ran over to stop me. That’s why Meredith got into the accident. It was me. I was the one who caused Meredith trouble.”She blamed herself whilst in tears.“Old Master Whitman, if you want someone to blame, blame me. It doesn’t matter even if you send me to the police station, but Meredith is a good girl. I really don’t want Jeremy to misunderstand her. She has already suffered so much. Jeremy shouldn’t break her heart this time.”“In fact, all of these mistakes are Vera Quinn’s fault!” Eloise pushed all the blame onto Madeline.However, as soon as her voice fell, two intimate figures appeared by the stairs. Mad
Following Madeline’s words, the smile on Meredith’s expression suddenly cracked. Her entire face became completely stiff.What?Did she hear wrongly? What was Vera talking about?She just wanted to pretend and play a loving, righteous role in front of Jeremy and Old Master Whitman. She did not want to bear the blame on Rose’s behalf!She was just pretending!Rose and Eloise were also dumbfounded. They did not expect Vera to be a ruthless character.Seeing Meredith’s surprised expression, Madeline smiled leisurely at Jeremy. “Jeremy, in that case, you can accompany me to the police station now.”Jeremy glanced at Meredith who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated look and nodded lightly. “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”Madeline smiled happily and stretched out her hand to hold Jeremy’s arm. Her arrogant, beautiful eyes swept across Meredith who was still kneeling by her feet.“Kidnapping for extortion, intention to harm others… If sentenced for these crimes, it should garne
Madeline let go of Jeremy’s hand upon hearing this. She smiled generously before saying, “I’ll wait for you here.”“Okay.” Jeremy nodded, then turned around and went out.Rose and Eloise also followed them out of the gate.Seeing Meredith walking away with Jeremy, Madeline curled her lips and smiled happily.‘Meredith, what I want to give back to you is much more than this.‘You’d better not fall so quickly.’“If Madeline had half of your boldness, that child wouldn’t have left just like that.”Old Master Whitman’s sigh sounded softly from behind.Madeline’s heart soured. She felt the warmth of being cared for and missed.She smiled and turned around to look at Old Master Whitman. “If Grandpa doesn’t mind, you can think of me as Madeline.”Old Master Whitman looked closely at the exquisitely beautiful face in front of him and shook his head regretfully.“No matter how similar you look, it’s just a similarity. At the end of the day, you’re not my granddaughter-in-law.”“Perh
Madeline’s heartbeat became erratic all of a sudden, but she calmly put on an expression of surprise and confusion. She looked up to meet Jeremy’s black eyes.“What? You’re saying your ex-wife isn’t dead?”She pinched her eyebrows together before laughing.“You’re not suspecting that I’m your ex-wife Madeline again, are you?”When her voice fell, Jeremy also laughed. A gust of autumn wind blew, faintly blowing at the mysterious color that was surging in his eyes. He looked at Madeline and said profoundly, “Some people are alive, and she’s dead. But some people are dead, and she’s still alive.”After listening to these words in silence, Madeline curled her lips.“Are you trying to tell me that your ex-wife lives in your heart?”Not only did she laugh, but her laughter was full of irony.“Everyone knows that Madeline is the woman you hate most.”“Everyone knows?” Jeremy chewed on these words as the irony in his faint smile became stronger than that of Madeline’s.Yes, everyone
Just because of a promise made when he was young, he protected a woman who had long gone bad like a fool. Meanwhile, he cut the flesh off the woman he loved piece by piece.Jeremy picked up his phone again and saw the contents on the screen. There was a post that had photos of Meredith from when she was a child.When he and Meredith reunited, he had asked to see photos of her from her childhood days. However, Meredith said that the photos were lost because she had moved houses.Now, some netizens had actually dug up photos of her when she was a child.Jeremy stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly at the title.Thump, thump.There was a knocking on the office glass door.Jeremy looked up and saw that it was Ken Baker. “Come in.”He put down his phone and hid his emotions from a moment ago. They would continue to remain unknown to anyone.Ken walked toward the office desk and gave a straightforward report, saying, “Mr. Whitman, I’ve kept a close eye on Felipe for a while n
Madeline did not forget the time she had previously stumbled upon Jeremy buying a large bouquet of red roses. She had thought that he was seeing other women apart from Meredith.After tailing him, however, she found that he had gone to the cemetery with that bouquet of roses.It was inconvenient for her to continue following him at the time, so she did not know the reason why Jeremy brought roses to the cemetery. She could not find out even though she had tried researching it.She also did not pass by here coincidentally today. Instead, she had always been observing his every move in secret.After discovering that he had gone to the flower shop again, she then deliberately showed up to make it seem that it was a coincidental encounter.As she was in the midst of her thoughts, Jeremy opened the car door for her.Madeline quickly came back to her senses and got out of the car.She pretended to appear curious by looking around. It was then she saw Jeremy already holding the bouquet
