Madeline had no time to stop her when Eloise already blurted out such a sentence.The surrounding air seemed to quiet down for a moment, and Madeline looked at Jeremy's reaction out of the corner of her eyes. His expression was a bit complicated, as if he had just heard an unexpected piece of news. However, it also seemed calm.Madeline pondered for a few seconds before breaking the silence. "Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Montgomery, do you really think Madeline is your biological daughter?"Eloise stared at her, saying, "Although there’s no scientific verification yet, I’m already 90 percent sure that Madeline is my daughter!"Her tone was very positive, and her eyes that were glazed over with a fog looked at Madeline's face with incomparable nostalgia."Miss Vera has a daughter, yes?" Eloise asked all of a sudden.Madeline nodded. "Yeah.""When I saw your daughter at the entrance of the kindergarten, I was surprised. Your daughter looked really similar to my daughter when she was born.
Madeline smiled and was about to say something when the phone rang.She looked at the screen and saw that it was from Felipe.She answered the phone naturally and hung up after a few brief sentences."Jeremy, something has come up at my shop. I have to go back now.""I’ll see you off.""No, we’ll see each other tonight,” Madeline said as she turned around. As she was about to leave, Jeremy stretched out his hand to hold her. When Madeline looked back doubtfully, Jeremy lowered his head and kissed her lips."A goodbye kiss.""..."Madeline accepted with a smile despite her rejection.After seeing her turn around and leave, the smile on the corners of his lips gradually disappeared while the sharpness in his eyes faded away, leaving only a touch of regret.When Eloise said that Madeline was actually her biological daughter just now, the assumption had given the most perfect answer to the entangled questions in Jeremy's heart."Linnie..."The name was gently uttered from betwe
Jeremy held his mobile phone quietly, listening to Sean telling him the result of the identification word for word…Sean's tone was indescribably complicated. There was happiness, but there was still a touch of sorrow in this joy.Sure enough, after listening to what Sean had to say, a tsunami rose in Jeremy's heart."Jeremy, you’re back."The call had not been hung up yet when a sweet voice sounded in front of him.Jeremy raised his eyes and saw Madeline walking toward him.The picturesque face hidden deep in his heart gradually magnified in his deep eyes."I was just waiting for you to come back for dinner." Madeline walked toward Jeremy and reached out to him to help him take off his suit jacket.Jeremy quietly hung up, his eyes staying on Madeline's faintly smiling face the whole time.Seeing her turning around to hang up the clothes, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.Madeline looked back questioningly. "What's the matter?""It's nothing. I just missed you a little," he sai
Eloise and Sean followed behind Jeremy with heavy footsteps. They finally reached the grave that had been destroyed into pieces."This... This is the place Madeline is buried?" Eloise’s eyes widened with surprise.She really could not accept the scene before her.The grave was a destroyed mess, and even the tombstone was broken to pieces till the point it was no longer able to be pieced back together."It was Meredith who caused the destruction," Jeremy answered lightly.Eloise and Sean's eyes lit up with anger in unison, but there were more heartache and grief at this moment.Eloise put down the bouquet in her hands, walked to the scattered stones, and crouched down slowly.She picked up a small piece of gravel and stroked it gently and very cautiously as if she was holding a treasure.Tears of regret dripped quietly onto the rocks, leaving heavy tear stains."My baby girl..."Sean crouched down and put his arm around Eloise as well, crying with regret.If they had not hate
When Eloise said this, Jeremy and Sean looked at her at the same time.Although Madeline had been referring to Len Samuels as her grandfather, it was clear that he was not Madeline's real grandfather.How could Eloise know Len Samuels?"Eloise, have you really seen this name at home?" Sean was surprised.Whether it was a servant or their relatives or friends, he was sure that none of them were named Len Samuels.Eloise nodded with certainty. "With Diana!"“Diana?" Jeremy frowned slightly."She’s our housekeeper. She has been working for us since her 20s. It has been 32 years." Eloise explained. "I saw the name Len Samuels from her side.""Diana’s full name is Diana Samuels, and her surname is Samuels..." Saying this, Eloise's emotions gradually became more agitated as a certain conjecture appeared in her heart."Sean, could it be that... We should go back and ask her about this clearly!"Eloise hurriedly pulled Sean up and turned around.Jeremy glanced at the tombstone, then
Her smile was like a flower while her eyes were quick-witted, shining in his eyes like bright stars.After hanging up the call, Jeremy got up and walked toward Madeline. "Vera, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery want to invite us to their home tonight."Madeline's actions of setting out his lunch paused slightly. "Why would they invite us to be their guest all of a sudden?""They have a request and hope you can help them."Jeremy looked at Madeline, then informed her of the specific content of the unreasonable demand.Madeline turned around and pulled Jeremy's tie with her slender fingers, revealing a womanly, charming, and lively smile."Looking at your face, I’ll agree."Jeremy's eyes gently admired the bright face in front of him as his heartbeat accelerated more than a little...At dusk, the light of the setting sun shone through the branches and was cut into pieces of gold as it sprinkled on the ground.Madeline held Jeremy's hand and they sweetly stepped through the Montgomeries’ d
“You have good eyes. That’s right, I’m not Vera at all. I’m Madeline!”Jeremy, who was standing outside the kitchen, had heard what Madeline said then. A subtle but shattered light shone in his deep sea-like eyes. It gradually condensed into a noiseless tsunami that surged in his heart. However, he just stood there in silence.Diana, on the other hand, blew up instantly when she heard this.“You really are her! You’re really that b*tch Madeline!”She swung the kitchen knife in her hand and pointed it in Madeline’s direction. Those angry eyes saw red as if they were about to swallow Madeline alive.“I must avenge my Brit today!”“Your Brit? That was Mrs. Montgomery’s Brittany. What does she have to do with you? I’ve never even touched a strand of Brittany’s hair. Even if I really did kill Brittany, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery who should be looking for me for revenge. What right do you, a servant, have to teach me a lesson?”“Who says I don’t have the right? No one else in this w
“How ridiculous. You had so eloquently said just now that you would avenge your own daughter, but now you dare not even acknowledge this daughter of yours.”“…”“Although Brittany had lived the life of a rich daughter, she was really pitiful for having a mother like you. Even till the day Brittany died, she had never really called her biological mother ‘Mom’. Even now when she’s already dead, she still can’t die in peace. And you’ll also regret this for life.”“You shut up! Just shut up! Stop talking!” Diana lost control of her emotions again. She stood up and wanted to raise a hand at Madeline.Jeremy coldly reached out and clamped down on her wrist, pushing her away.Diana plopped to the ground.“If you dare raise a hand at Vera again, I’ll smash Brittany’s grave!”What?!Diana trembled in horror. She crawled toward Jeremy and knelt at his feet, begging for mercy with a pale face.“Mr. Whitman, don’t! Please don’t destroy Brittany’s grave. I was wrong! I wouldn’t dare! I won
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
