"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
Jeremy made a beeline to the study and saw light streaming out of the room from afar.His gaze sunk a little as his footsteps unconsciously slowed down.Just when he reached the door of the study and was about to enter, Madeline walked out while holding Jackson.Madeline was surprised when she saw Jeremy. “Jeremy, why are you also awake?” She smiled a little. “I’ll send Jack back to his room to sleep first.”Jeremy did not ask anything and just nodded.Seeing Madeline turning around and leading Jackson back, his gaze lingered for a while before he turned around and walked into the study.After Madeline had sent Jackson back to his room, she whispered, “Jack, can you promise Mommy not to tell your dad what happened just now?”Jackson blinked his clear, big eyes twice, then nodded his head. “Jack will listen to Mommy and not tell Dad.”“Thanks, Jack.” Madeline caressed the little guy’s head and lovingly kissed his pink and tender cheek. “It’s very late, go to sleep.”After Jacks
“What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?” The man’s low and deep voice slid into her ears like thick red wine.Madeline suddenly withdrew her thoughts. In the dark, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.“It’s nothing. I just thought of a funny joke all of a sudden,” she said indifferently, but her eyes were burning.‘That’s right, it’s a joke. A very big joke.‘He may love any woman in this world, but he’ll never love me.’The next day after Madeline got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for Jackson, she then sent him to kindergarten with Jeremy.It was obvious that Jackson's current state was much better than before.Madeline had never seen a child who became happier and more at ease after being without their biological mother.What kind of a devil was Meredith to be able to destroy her own flesh and blood to the point of depression and mental damage?Whitman Corporation.After the morning meeting was over, Jeremy took Madeline to the department specializing in jewe
