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
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
