âUh-huh,â Madeline smirked. She ran her fingers over the sparkling rhinestones on her dress. âJeremy has such a good eye. He even knows all of my measurements.ââW-What did you say?ââWhat? Donât you know the human language?â Meredith smiled and sashayed forward. The staff hurried over to help her with her dress.She looked like a queen when she gracefully walked forward until she was in front of Meredith. âDo you really think that this dress belongs to you?ââ...â Meredith was so angry that her eyes almost fell out of their sockets. âVera Quinn, take this dress off right now. This is a present from Jeremy to me. Iâm going to wear this on the day of my wedding. Who are you to wear my wedding dress?âShe glared at Madeline overbearingly. Then, she scoffed all of a sudden.âVera, why are you doing this? I know you like Jeremy, but heâs my fiancĂ©. Plus, weâll be married in two days, then weâll be husband and wife. What youâre doing right now is exactly what a mistress would do, do y
Madeline smiled sweetly when she saw Meredithâs pleased grin.âMiss Crawford, are you delusional? Jeremyâs here for me.â???Meredithâs expression froze, and there were a lot of question marks above her head.However, at this moment, she saw Vera reaching out to Jeremy with a smile on her face. The man she loved walked over to Vera as he held her hand.âJeremy?â Meredith could not believe what she was seeing. She felt as if there was a rock on her chest that made her unable to breathe.Madeline smiled bashfully and reached out to tidy Jeremyâs collar.âJeremy, you look so charming today. No wonder Miss Crawford here was willing to climb into your bed even though sheâd become the mistress.ââYou! Vera Quinn, what did you say?â Meredithâs pretentious expression cracked. âYouâre the one who seduced my fiancĂ©, you b*tch!âShe lifted her hand angrily to slap Madeline.Madeline faked being scared and leaned against Jeremy, her frightened expression eliciting Jeremyâs anger and urge
Meredith yelled at the two figures in front of her.Madeline almost stopped walking at the same time as Jeremy.What did she just hear?âAshes?âMy ashes?âShe was taken aback as her mind wandered.Back then, she had already lost her eyesight when she went to Jeremy and Meredithâs engagement party.In order to cut all ties with him and to let go of her obsession with him, she consented to giving everything back to himâincluding her ashes.Even though she did not die in the end, her âashesâ was still there.However, did Jeremy not destroy those âashesâ way back then?She stopped reminiscing when she felt Jeremyâs grip tightening.It seemed like he was holding back something.Meredith ran in front of Jeremy quickly with melancholy in her eyes.âJeremy, please donât force me, okay? The things Iâm doing now are all for you.âMeredith was making herself look worthy of the greatest admiration.Madeline lifted her head to look at Jeremy. There was a murderous cold glint in his
âRegret? Hmph, the only person whoâs going to regret is you! Vera, I warned you before. Youâre not my competition at all. So what if youâre carrying Jeremyâs child? He wonât care! I have a trump card in my hand, so how will you compete with me? HahahaâŠâMeredithâs savage cackle lingered in Madelineâs ear.Madeline hung up the phone without saying anything. She looked at the name of the bride on the invitation card as she narrowed her charming eyes.She would be there on time tomorrow.Three days went by quickly, but these three days were extremely tormenting to Meredith.The internet was filled with headlines about her and Jeremy. After all, she was the one who exposed the time and location of her wedding to the media with a fake identity. She was hoping she could blow up news of this as much as possible.The reason was that she had been waiting for this day for too long.As long as she got married to Jeremy and became Mrs. Whitman, she believed that with her tactics, Jeremy wou
Madeline told her the truth immediately.When Eloise heard that, she did not get angry. On the contrary, she smiled.âVera Quinn, I know what youâre trying to do. Youâre trying to incite disharmony between me and Mer. Iâm her mother, so I know very well whether sheâs my daughter or not. Donât even think about inciting disharmony between us!âAfter Eloise said that firmly, she grabbed Jacksonâs hand to walk away.âSometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth,â Madeline said to Eloiseâs back. âMrs. Montgomery, if you donât want to regret it in the future, then you should think about what similarities that person who died three years ago had with you.âEloise stopped in her tracks. Then, she heard Madelineâs voice loud and clear.âWhen I was outside Meredithâs hospital room, I indeed heard Rose saying that your real daughter is already dead.ââShut up!âEloise turned around furiously, her eyes looking at Madeline with animosity.âVera Quinn, today is my daughterâs wedding
Jeremy looked at Madeline. Then, under Meredithâs expectant gaze, he walked past her and went straight to Madeline.Meredith stood on the red carpet, dumbfounded. She was frozen in place.âWhy are you here?â Jeremy walked toward Madeline, her beautiful face reflected in his gentle eyes.âMiss Crawford invited me,â Madeline answered with a smile. She lifted her hand to straighten Jeremyâs tie. âMiss Crawford told me that youâve been waiting for this day. She also said that youâll be her man soon, so I shouldnât have any more wishful thinking and should get lost as soon as possible. However, I love you so much, so how would I be willing to let you go?ââ...â Meredithâs face darkened after she heard that.When she saw Jeremy lifting his eyebrow coldly, she quickly explained herself. âJeremy, donât listen to her. I never said those things.ââYouâre so irresponsible, Miss Crawford. If you can say it, why canât you admit it?ââYouâŠââIâm not like you. I said I love Jeremy, so I wonât
After the master of the ceremony finished saying that, Meredith blushed. She looked at Jeremy longingly.âJeremy, hurry up and say you do!âIâve been waiting so long for this day!âMeredithâs heart raced. She felt as if she was going to get to the pinnacle of her life.Also, she noticed that Jeremy was smiling at her warmly. There was a softness in his eyes that she had never seen before.Meredith was sure that she had this in the bag!However, at this moment, someoneâs phone started ringing.It broke the atmosphere, making Meredith unhappy. However, she noticed it was Jeremyâs phone.Jeremy suppressed what he was feeling before and took out his phone.When he saw the caller ID, he lifted his head to look at Madeline who was sitting in the last row.âJeremy, my stomach is hurting all of a sudden. I donât know if somethingâs wrong with our baby. I donât think I can continue watching this. I have to go to the hospital.âMadelineâs voice sounded very despondent from the other e
Looking at those beautiful and lively eyes in front of him, Jeremyâs thoughts started to wander.He never wanted to say âI doâ anyway.When the master of the ceremony asked him that, he recalled the time he married Madeline. That was why he had smiled and also why his gaze became softer.When Madeline saw Jeremy deep in thought, she called out to him, âJeremy, what are you thinking about?âAfter she said that, Jeremyâs phone rang.âI need to take care of some things. Iâll be back soon.â Jeremy said after looking at the caller ID.âGo ahead.âJeremy nodded, and when he was about to close the door behind him, he lifted his gaze to look at the woman who was leaning against the headboard of the bed. There was a thought-provoking look in his eyes.Madeline got out of bed when she heard the engine of the car.She did not expect Jeremy to bring her back to his place.However, she was glad. Jeremy abandoned Meredith and carried her away with so much concern. This was better than she
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.âStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?ââWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iâm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?âHer husband was startled. âYouâre agreeing to this?âGina 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 Danielâs 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. âAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.ââBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonât be happy about it for the rest of their lives,â Ava said with a helpless sigh. âI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.ââBut AvaâŠââMaddie, 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 theyâre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?âThere 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.âAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?ââI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.âHmph, 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,â Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. âStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnât a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnât 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?âGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. âDidn'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?ââStop talking.â Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.âHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?âHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?âOld 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?âI canât let this happen.âAfter 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.âDan, have you decided to just give up?âAre we
âI'll be right back!âGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.âDonât follow me! Youâre not welcomed at our house.âDespite 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. âWhat? Danâs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?ââLook 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.âWhatâs going on? Whereâs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?â 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, âI want to know as well.ââHow could you not know? You came before me.ââDan wasn't in the ward when I came,â Ava said and turned around. âI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.ââWait.âGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.âAva, 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.âLily.â Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. âLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youâll be able to speak soon.âLillian 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.âMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.âJulie smiled and shook her head. âYou stopped owing me an
âI did,â 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, âI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnât 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.âFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.âBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereâll be no such trouble in the future.âJulie 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.âMiss Charles, Iâve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itâs 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.âJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?âJulie frowned. âYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.ââWhat?ââTsk tsk⊠Julie, do you really like this single father?â The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. âSomeone 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.ââWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?â Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
