“Have you already told Jeremy that the b*tch is Madeline?”“N-No! Plus, it seems like that b*tch doesn’t want Jeremy to know that she’s Madeline.” Rose denied it when she realized that she could not let Jeremy know about this.After Meredith heard that, she let out a sigh of relief.“There will be a hearing in two days. Eloise has already hired the best lawyer for me. I should be able to get out of here soon.”Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”“Of course.” Meredith snorted. “It seems that Madeline doesn’t plan to tell the Montgomeries about her real identity.”Jon and Rose looked at each other in confusion. “Mer, doesn’t that b*tch already know that she’s Eloise’s daughter? Since she has already exposed herself to us, then why won’t she acknowledge that Eloise and Sean are her parents?”“If you’re in her shoes, would you still want to go back to your parents after you’ve been attacked, yelled at, and ignored by them?” Meredith rolled her eyes.“I think she resents Sean and Eloise.”
Eloise walked in front of Madeline slowly, her smile looking amiable. “I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to have dinner at my place tonight?”Madeline frowned. “Am I hearing things? Are you inviting me for a meal at your place, Mrs. Montgomery?”‘Does she know something?’‘Is that why she’s inviting me to her home in such a friendly manner?’However, Madeline immediately saw a hint of reluctance in Eloise’s eyes.Madeline understood now. Eloise was only doing this for Meredith.Heh.How pathetic.‘My birth mother is willing to give a half-hearted invitation to a woman she despises for the sake of a heartless she-devil.“Miss Vera, I hope you can forgive me for what I've done in the past. I’m sincerely inviting you to be a guest in my home.” Eloise had a smile on her face while waiting for Madeline’s reply.Madeline felt that it was too ironic. She wanted to reject her.However, she could not do it.The person in front of her was her mother who brought her i
“Okay.”Madeline smiled softly. After she watched Jeremy’s car leaving, she turned around and walked in.This was not the first time she came to Montgomery Manor, but it felt different this time.The previous time, she came here all dressed up to outshine Meredith. However, she was dressed casually today.She strode into the house, and some of the maids were astonished when they saw her.Even though she was dressed casually and did not have any makeup on, she still looked elegant and poised.They knew she was Miss L.ady’s designer, Vera Quinn. She was also the woman who was recently entangled with Miss Montgomery.They did not expect Vera to be the important guest Eloise told them about. The maids were curious.She was Miss Montgomery’s rival, so why was she the important guest?After Madeline walked in, she saw Eloise and Sean.They were dressed casually as well. However, their clothes and jewelry were all expensive branded goods.Eloise smiled and greeted her, saying, “Ple
When Sean and Eloise heard Madeline’s answer, for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat. The two of them asked at the same time, “You’ve found your parents?”Madeline nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I’ve found my birth parents.”When Eloise got such an affirmative answer, she smiled.At this moment, her smile came from the bottom of her heart.“That’s good. It’s good that you found them. You’ll be able to reunite with your family if that’s the case.”“Reunite with them?” Madeline rolled those words off her mouth and scoffed ironically. “I won’t even have the chance to reunite with them.”Eloise frowned. “Why?”“They can’t recognize me even when I’m standing right in front of them. They don’t want to acknowledge me either.”Madeline looked straight at Eloise and Sean. The two of them were visibly taken aback.Madeline smiled and broke the eerie atmosphere. “Maybe I’m just unfortunate. My parents lost me when I was small, then I was abandoned by my boyfriend after I grew up. Thankf
“Mrs. Montgomery, don’t fall asleep. We’re almost at the hospital.” Madeline grabbed Eloise’s shoulder, and when she saw Eloise almost losing consciousness, she kept trying to talk to her.Her heart was speeding as she was extremely anxious. The corners of her eyes were also wet with tears.“Mer…”Suddenly, Madeline heard Eloise calling Meredith’s name.Her heart was already aching. Now, it was one disaster on top of another.At this moment, Eloise started pleading weakly.“You’re also a mother, Miss Vera. I hope you can empathize with me as a mother. The hearing is tomorrow and I’m begging you to please let Mer off the hook. What she did was wrong, but as her parents, we’ve committed an even bigger crime. We didn’t educate her since she was small. Miss Vera, I’m begging you, please?”Madeline pressed her lips together as she sobbed, her eyes wet with tears.“Mrs. Montgomery, she’s not worthy of this.”“She is. She’s my only daughter.”Madeline bit her lip after she heard tha
After the nurse said that, the air around them felt incredibly stifling.Madeline smiled calmly and said, “I think you must be talking about Madeline.”“It’s her…”Sean’s shocked exclamations sounded in her ear.Madeline turned around and saw regret as well as an apologetic look on Sean’s handsome face.“I didn’t think that she was the one who gave blood to Ellie. I even…”He had thought Madeline was bullying Meredith back then. As such, he yelled at Madeline angrily.He had said to her, "It’s no wonder your biological parents didn’t want you. Such a vicious person like you shouldn't even be alive in this world!"Sean was stunned. He placed his hands over his eyes in remorse.Madeline donated so much blood for Eloise and Jackson in secret back then.However, she did not say anything. She only endured all of their evil words and reprimanding.At that moment, Sean felt like he had committed the worst sin possible.Now, even if he wanted to apologize, he did not have the chanc
Madeline got out of bed and cleaned herself up. When she was about to look for Jeremy, she heard noises from the balcony.She looked over and saw the man standing there alone. Jeremy’s tall and slender back looked frail.There was a cigarette between his long fingers. The tip of the cigarette lit up and dimmed simultaneously, looking desolate in the morning sun.Perhaps he heard footsteps, so he turned around and saw Madeline walking toward him. He narrowed his eyes into a grin. “Why don’t you sleep more?”“I’ll wake up if I get enough sleep.” Madeline smiled. When she saw Jeremy in yesterday’s clothes, she asked, “You didn’t sleep for the entire night?”He curled the corner of his lips. His eyes were as dark as night as they were glued on Madeline’s fair and gentle face.“It’s been difficult for me to fall asleep for the past three years.”A glint flashed across Madeline’s eyes when she heard that.Jeremy extinguished his cigarette and walked in front of her.The unique smell
When Meredith heard that Madeline had more evidence, Meredith started to panic.“Your Honor, don’t trust this woman. She’s trying to frame me! I’m being falsely accused by her!” Meredith pointed at Madeline and shrieked emotionally. “I’m really innocent, Your Honor!”“Defendant, please calm down. If you continue to make noise, the court will charge you with contempt of court,” the judge said seriously.“...” When she heard this, Meredith shut her mouth quickly.However, she was nervous. She did not know what Madeline’s solid evidence was.At this moment, the police brought Jon and Rose inside.Meredith looked at Jon and Rose anxiously. She knew something was not right.Just as she expected, Jon and Rose were testifying against her in court!“Your Honor, my adopted daughter, Meredith Crawford, was indeed the person who planned this. She was discussing this with us at our home,” Rose said. She did not dare to look Meredith in the eyes.Jon made a full confession at one side as w
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
