“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
Diana was instantly dumbfounded after hearing such an answer. She shook her head with an expression of disbelief. She could not accept it.“How can that be? Impossible! How could that b*tch be Madam’s daughter? She’s not worthy. She’s not worthy of the title of the Montgomeries’ young lady at all. She’s just a b*tch—”‘You shut up!” Eloise was outraged. “Who are you to curse my daughter like that? If my daughter isn’t worthy, then are you worthy? You did these despicable and shameless things that are lower than the low, and yet you still have the gall to criticize my daughter? Diana, you don’t have humanity or conscience. You’re simply not worthy of being human!”Eloise reprimanded her furiously. Thinking of the hardships that Madeline might have experienced during the years after she was swapped, Eloise’s heart hurt beyond words.“Eloise, what’s the matter?” Seeing Eloise teetering as if she was about to faint, Sean held her nervously.Eloise burst into tears and raised her hand
“Eveline…”Eloise moved her lips and whispered the name.Madeline was a little stunned, knowing that it was her real name.“Mom and Dad are sorry. We’re really sorry. You had obviously shown up in front of us long ago, but we were blind. We hurt and mistreated you time and time again for that vicious woman Meredith…“I know that there’s no way to compensate you in this lifetime. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely make up for the harm done to you…”Eloise reached out her hand with tears all over her face and she suddenly hugged Madeline.“Eveline, my Eveline…” she called out lightly in a trembling voice.Perhaps she was in a trance, but looking at Madeline’s face, it was really hard not to be in a trance—especially in the state of grief and indignation she was in at this moment.Madeline silently let Eloise hug her tightly, a touch of wetness appearing in her calm eyes…This was probably the first time she was experiencing a mother’s love. It turned out to be so warm. She
When Madeline turned around and saw the man standing not far away, she realized she had unconsciously responded to him calling her ‘Maddie’ just now.Meeting Jeremy’s unfathomable eyes, Madeline very calmly put on a smile.“Maddie? Don’t tell me you’re just like Mrs. Montgomery, unable to disengage from the show earlier and are still treating me as Madeline?”Her tone made it sound as if she was joking. She then stepped toward Jeremy with a deep smile.“But I didn’t think you would call Madeline so intimately. She is, after all, the woman you abhor, no?”Madeline smiled slightly. She passed by Jeremy and picked up a magazine. Then, she sat on the bed and spoke casually, “It was quite unexpected. As it turns out, Madeline was really Mrs. Montgomery’s biological daughter. Moreover, she was swapped by a servant in the family right after she was born.“What a shame that Madeline is already dead. The truth came too late.”Jeremy listened to Madeline quietly. He turned around and sat
Felipe suddenly called and Madeline collected herself before answering the phone. The man’s gentle voice sounded magnetically in her ears. “Are you okay? Did you see the video?”Madeline seemed to understand something clearly. "I just finished watching it. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.""It seems that they really love you. It’s just that they were blinded back then." Felipe explained on behalf of Eloise and Sean."Love..."Madeline smiled while uttering the word, feeling strange all of a sudden. "Felipe, I’ll come to where you are now. Let's talk about the plan."After hanging up the call, Madeline hurried to a single-family villa in the suburbs where Felipe now lived.After Madeline arrived, Felipe brought the black tea that he had just brewed. He looked at the woman who was in front of him with a smile and tender eyes. "I really want this to end soon. I think of you having to stay with him every night and it's very uncomfortable."Madeline sipped the black tea, feeling
"Look over there." Eloise pointed not far away, her eyes suddenly looking sad. "My daughter is dead and I know that I can’t make up for this regret in my life. Only by doing this can I remedy a bit of this regret.""We know that this request is very selfish and a bit overwhelming. If you’re unwilling, Miss Vera, we won’t force it." Sean's tone was gentle while his eyes were filled with pleading.Madeline looked at the photo studio not far away and smiled.It turned out that they wanted to borrow her face for a family portrait.Felipe was right. Sometimes the apology may not be done out of sincerity. They just hoped that they would feel better in their hearts, nothing more.They would be better off after taking a family portrait, but what about her?Madeline chuckled. She closed her eyes and could still clearly see the scenes of Eloise and Sean treating her coldly back then.She had given enough during this time."I'm sorry, I don't think I can agree." Madeline refused. "I don't
Eloise had also hurried over, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Miss Vera, why did you suddenly run out onto the road? It’s so dangerous! Are you okay?"Hearing this, Madeline finally came back to her senses completely. She shook her head and said, "I was thinking about something just now. Thank you, I'll be leaving now."Eloise and Sean felt that Madeline was behaving a bit weirdly and were a little worried, but Madeline had quickly gotten on a taxi by the side of the road.She got off when the car arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. While on the way, Madeline had still been thinking about what she heard before.Could it be?‘The grave that Jeremy brought me to the last time definitely has nothing to do with me.‘He hates me so much. Why would he give me a grave, let alone be so anxious as to have gone crazy when he couldn't find my ashes?’ Madeline thought to herself silently while walking toward the doors.As soon as she was about to step in, a strong smell of perfum
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
