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
It turned out that Meredith was not Jeremy's favorite.It turned out that his favorite was already dead..."What are you looking for? Do you want me to help you look for it?" Madeline opened her mouth and said calmly. She saw Jeremy's movements pausing momentarily as if he had only just realized the existence of another living person here.He stood up slowly, his good-looking appearance covered with indescribable grief and sadness along with a trace of fear while his eyes were filled with a fierce, terrifying light and murderous intent. He looked as if he was afraid that he might not be able to recover something again.Madeline became even more confused and she asked again while she walked toward him, "Are you alright? What’s going on here?""I'll send you home first." He finally spoke, and there was no warmth nor emotions that could be sensed from his tone, only the horrifying chill that radiated from him.Madeline was sent back to the apartment. In the past, Jeremy would usually wait
As soon as Meredith said what she said, she felt a chilling, violent wave envelop her entire body in an instant.She felt cold and could not help but shiver.While she was still thinking about what Jeremy would do to her, she suddenly felt a tight grip around her neck. In the next second, she lost the ability to breathe freely."Je... Jeremy..."Meredith widened her eyes in shock, looking at the man who was choking her neck in disbelief.How could it be?How could he treat her this way?He was actually strangling her for that b*tch Madeline!"Do you know what you’ve done? Do you think that you can just do whatever you want because of my liking and my spoiling you?" His cold voice swept toward her like a cold wind, his gaze full of murderous intentions.Meredith felt that she was about to be strangled to death. She was feeling highly discomforted as she could not breathe.However, no matter what she said, Jeremy would not let go. Instead, he even tightened his fingers one by one.His ey
“Go on.”“Fulfill your promise to me back then. Take me as your wife,” Meredith continued without hesitating.In an instant, a deep frown was plastered across Jeremy’s face. He looked at Meredith with his eyes that were filled with emotions.“Jeremy, you know that I love you. I’m crazily in love with you. I can’t live without you. I knew I wanted to stay with you forever after I saw you for the first time.”Meredith looked at Jeremy sentimentally.“Jeremy, you’re the only hope for me to continue living. If I don’t have you, I’d rather die. If you don’t want to fulfill your promise, then I’ll leave this world along with Jack. If you die, you’ll never find Madeline’s ashes.”Looking at Meredith’s determined gaze, Jeremy chuckled lowly. “Are you threatening me?”Meredith shook her head and looked at him aggrievedly. “How would I dare to threaten you? I just want to be with the man I love. So, I’m willingly turning into the kind of evil woman who would do anything to get their way i
