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
Yvonne turned her head abruptly when she heard Madeline’s words, only to see a surveillance camera.Yvonne’s confidence deflated instantly. She looked extremely embarrassed.Jeremy’s icy cold eyes swept over Yvonne’s face. “Don’t let me see you get any closer to Vera.”Yvonne trembled with fright. “Jez, I…”“Get lost.”“…”Yvonne was not happy about it, but she saw the employees whispering on the side while looking at her. She suddenly felt her cheeks heating up immensely. She glared at Madeline angrily before running off.Jeremy walked toward Madeline, the coldness in his eyes dispersing immediately. “Did she hurt you?”Madeline shook her head and smiled calmly. “I’m okay.”Jeremy seemed to be more relieved after hearing this. He gently held her hand and walked to the elevator. “Are you tired after working all morning?”“All my fatigue went away when I saw you.” Madeline smiled with curved eyes.Jeremy looked at her bright, smiling face, and a warm shade covered his cold fa
Madeline erased all her traces, then put the laptop back in place.She held the light USB flash drive in her hand, but it felt heavy for some reason.Although she had not been educated by her parents since she was a child, her grandpa always taught her to be a kind-hearted and honest person.She always had a clear conscience and never did anything that caused harm.However, at this moment, she actually felt hesitant.‘Is this considered dishonest?‘No, it’s not.‘Jeremy Whitman, back then, you worked with Meredith to ruin me completely. Even on the day of my ‘death’, I still had to bear the cruel, critical attacks from you two.‘Those non-existent sins, the harm from your tyrannical methods, the pain from three years of unjust charges, and the separation of flesh and blood are all vivid to me.‘You’ve bestowed me such misfortune, so don’t blame me for fighting back now.‘Jeremy, you owe me.’Madeline held the USB flash drive tightly. She then turned around and left the offic
Madeline's outstretched hand was suddenly hauled up and Felipe was immediately interrupted right when he touched the corner of the thumb drive.He looked up unhappily with his cold eyes and saw an angry face."Vera Quinn, how could you be so shameless?!"Yvonne yelled, "As soon as Cousin Jeremy walked away, you immediately came to have a sweet lunch with another man. Both of you are even holding hands publicly. You’re so cheap, you don’t deserve to be my cousin-in-law! I’m going to tell Cousin Jeremy about this right away!"Madeline really did not expect Yvonne to have tailed her. As she was listening to Yvonne's slanderous words, she withdrew her hand unhappily and said, "Speak with your respect. This ‘other man’ you’re talking about is Jeremy’s uncle.""What?" Shocked, Yvonne looked at Felipe who had a cold facial expression. It was only then she noticed that this man not only looked handsome and extraordinary, but his facial features were indeed somewhat similar looking to Jeremy’s
She paused for a few seconds before picking it up.A man's deep and hoarse voice sounded softly, "Have you returned to the company?""No, I returned to my store," Madeline said calmly, "Aren't you busy? Why do you have the time to call me?"“I suddenly missed you,” he said softly. After saying this, he added, "For real."These two words made Madeline's heartbeat skip all of a sudden. Her gaze shifted to the computer screen, her heart feeling disturbed."Vera, I might not be able to go back tonight. Will you miss me like how I miss you?"Madeline was silent for a while as she listened to his words.Not knowing how much time had passed, she then replied softly, "Of course, of course I’ll miss you."After obtaining her answer, Jeremy chuckled softly and said with a sweet tone, "Don't worry, everything will be resolved soon. We’ll never be separated again after this."Madeline listened to Jeremy’s words blankly. By the time she had come back to her senses, it was unknown to her when the ca
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.Felipe's gaze turned cold. "Jeremy, aren't you on a business trip?""Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn’t come back just in time?" Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline's hand in his palm. "Let's go in."He ignored Felipe and turned away while bringing Madeline to the door.Madeline looked back at Felipe, then followed Jeremy into the corporation silently.Upon returning to the office, Madeline thought that Jeremy would question her, but he did not ask anything."Don't you have something to ask me?" Madeline inquiringly looked at the man who had a calm expression.Jeremy took off his coat and replied in a soft tone, "Do I have something to ask?""Won’t you ask me what is in this thumb drive and why I was giving it to Felipe?""If you wanted to tell me, you woul
