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
Jeremy received a call from Mrs. Whitman the moment his regular afternoon meeting was over. "Jeremy, Yvonne is back. Do come back to the family home for the welcome reception. You must come. She’s your one and only cousin! "Without giving Jeremy a chance to refuse, Mrs. Whitman hung up the phone.Jeremy did not want to waste this time socializing with meaningless people, but Madeline had offered to go with Jeremy.At the moment, Jeremy was parking the car while Madeline had walked to the gate to wait for Jeremy there. It was then when she suddenly heard Mrs. Whitman's disdainful sneer from the house."Don’t think she’s like Madeline just because she looks like the scum. This woman is actually more difficult to deal with. I don’t know what has gotten into Jeremy, but he’s enamored and listens to that b*tch for everything!""I knew this woman was nothing good at first sight. Aunty, she deliberately ran into me twice today but complained to Cousin Jeremy that I bumped into her on pu
Old Master Whitman’s tone was calm. He had undoubtedly determined that the person in front of him was Madeline. He was obviously confident.Madeline was a little surprised, but she stayed composed. “Grandpa, you’ll live a long life. Also, I really am not Madeline.”Old Master Whitman smiled meaningfully, but his gray eyebrows were furrowed helplessly in a frown. “Madeline, are you asking me, this old man, to not die in peace?”“…” Madeline was speechless for a moment.“They told me that you died at Jeremy and Meredith’s engagement ceremony. This matter has always been in my mind, brooding.”Old Master Whitman sighed.“You’re a good child that’s hard to come by. It was Jeremy who didn’t know how to cherish you. I won’t fault you at all now that you chose to come back this way, but I hope you can stay away from Felipe.”Old Master Whitman’s words of advice reminded Madeline of the past that Felipe had told her.She looked at the old man in front of her seriously. Although his fac
Madeline adjusted her emotions quickly and smiled. “Jeremy, Grandpa wants to rest. Let’s head back.”Jeremy’s gaze focused closely on the fleeting mockery in Madeline’s eyes. He nodded lightly. “Okay.”After they went back, Madeline took a cold shower to keep herself calm.‘Grandpa really seems to have discovered my true identity and deliberately reminded me to stay away from Felipe.‘Could it be that Grandpa has already investigated something in secret?‘I have to speed things up.‘If I drag on, Jeremy will see through me sooner or later.‘After all, his IQ is not low.’At midnight, Madeline slowly opened her eyes after Jeremy had fallen asleep.Gently removing herself from Jeremy’s embrace, she went to his study using the moonlight.After observing these few days, Madeline was certain that Jeremy’s study was not equipped with a security system.She turned on the lights and looked through the documents on his study desk. Most of them were company documents, but they were al
