“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
She pointed at Madeline arrogantly, and after saying that, she wanted to hug him.However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Jeremy walked around her indifferently and went toward Madeline instead."Cousin Jeremy?" Yvonne Yalemen stared at Jeremy who had not even spared her a glance.Jeremy glanced at the coffee that was knocked over to the floor and looked at Madeline with concern. "Are you alright? Were you burned?"Madeline curled her lips. "It wasn’t hot enough for that, but..." She paused, looking at the woman whose expression had slightly changed. "This lady bumped into me twice. My shoulder hurts a bit.""..." Yvonne probably did not expect that Madeline would say this to Jeremy. She looked embarrassed and hurriedly retorted, "Cousin Jeremy, I didn't bump into her. She bumped into me! "While saying this, she stared at Madeline angrily."I had wanted to spare your dignity in front of my cousin, but it seems that you really don’t want to work here anymore. Cousin Jere
