Despite Madeline being surprised about Jeremy’s early return, she remained calm. She even had a thought-provoking smile on her face.The man walked over to her, the icy aura around him making him look as domineering as a tyrant. Everything around him was only serving as props now.He was looking straight ahead as if he could not see the other people in the room. His dark eyes only reflected Madeline’s beautiful face.He walked forward, and with every step, his heartbeat accelerated until he got in front of Madeline.After one of the shareholders came back to his senses, he said, “You’re back just in time, Mr. Whitman. Your wife said—”“All of you, get out.”Jeremy interrupted him coldly, his eyes still glued on Madeline’s face.The shareholders were looking at each other in confusion. However, they still walked out.Madeline and Jeremy were the only ones left in the large meeting room now.Madeline said as she broke the silence, “You’re back so quickly. Since that’s the case,
“Don’t touch me,” Madeline said in disgust, “Don’t touch me with your hands that have touched other women. I feel disgusted.”Hiss.Jeremy felt as if something had stabbed his heart after he heard Madeline’s hateful words.It turned out that the word ‘disgusted’ could hold so much power.However, he had kept using this word back then as a weapon to attack her again and again.Madeline took a deep breath when Jeremy did not say anything. She peered at Jeremy, her eyes filled with anger. She mocked, saying, “Why? Are you unhappy that I’m treating you like this? Who are you to be unhappy about it? Did you forget how you used to treat me? You said I was a wh*re with loose morals. You said I disgusted you. You said I wasn’t worthy to be Jeremy Whitman’s wife. Did you forget all of these?”After she questioned him, Jeremy frowned.He recounted everything he did to her in the past. He had indeed done innumerable crimes.He did not say anything and only stared straight at her.His red
Madeline finished saying that without hesitation. Her piercing gaze scanned across Jeremy’s face before she strode away.Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand, causing her to stop in her tracks. She peered at him with a cold gaze. “What’s wrong? Do you want to punish me with your barbaric ways? Jeremy, I’m not that Madeline who’d allow you to insult and humiliate her anymore. I’m not afraid of you!”She looked into the man’s deep eyes fearlessly. There was an invulnerable expression in her eyes that made her look as domineering and arrogant as a monarch.Jeremy was not angry. His passionate eyes were glued on Madeline’s flawless face as he looked straight at her.Actually, he already knew the things she told him were just lies.He would only have the chance to get close to her as long as he continued lying to himself.Eventually, this day still came crashing on him.After staying silent, Jeremy said with a small smile on his face, “I have a question for you.”Madeline looked at the
Karen was taken aback. However, she did not intend to leave. On the other hand, she walked in front of Jeremy.“Jeremy, I have something important to tell you!” Karen looked frenetic. “Madeline is not dead! She’s Vera Quinn! She admitted to it two days ago! She really is Madeline!” Karen said in a flustered manner. However, she saw that Jeremy was unperturbed. Something clicked in her brain. “Jeremy, you… Did you already know this? You knew that the b*tch is Madeline?”After she said that, Jeremy lifted his gaze to look at her.His eyes were icy, making Karen shut up after seeing it.Jeremy stood up frigidly and left without taking anything.Karen chased after him. “Jeremy, w-what’s happening now? Are you going to just ignore Madeline? Do you know what she did in the past two days? Jeremy, don’t be too careless. That woman came back for revenge! Jeremy, Jeremy!”No matter how much Karen called after him, Jeremy did not pay attention to her.Karen stomped her feet in annoyance. T
Madeline complained and questioned as Jeremy recalled what happened that day.He remembered everything clearly. That day, it had been very windy and snowy. Madeline was shaking violently as she held the urn in her arms, her teeth stained with blood. She had looked as wretched as a defeated puppet. However, her eyes were protesting what he was doing in determination.She had said, “Jeremy, kill me. I don’t want to see you again.”She also said, “Jeremy, you’ll regret this!”However, back then, he had replied arrogantly, “The word ‘regret’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”Madeline mocked when she saw Jeremy deep in thought.“What’s wrong? Are you remembering everything that you’ve done? Do you remember how you were so sure that our child was a b*stard child who you couldn’t wait to crush her bones into dust?”Jeremy came back to his senses after Madeline said those words sarcastically.He recalled his cold-blooded behavior. He felt as if his evil doings were going to devour him.
Jeremy never loved her. Not even a little bit.When she was exposed for pretending to be the little girl back then, she was nothing to Jeremy. She was not even a stranger anymore despite them having a son together.“You look like you know something’s about to happen,” Jeremy said coldly. His tall body approached her as his overbearing aura terrified her.Meredith shook her head innocently. “Jeremy, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She forced tears to well in her eyes so that she would look extremely aggrieved.“Jeremy, for the sake of our relationship and for the sake of Jack, can you get me out of here? I was really falsely accused—”“Heh.”Before Meredith could finish, she was interrupted by Jeremy’s scoff.“Do you know why you’re still alive?” he asked all of a sudden.Meredith looked dumbly at the man who was getting more and more terrifying as each second passed.“Because I’ve been waiting for Maddie’s answer.”“...” Meredith widened her eyes in shock as her hea
The killing intent behind Jeremy’s gaze disappeared.He gripped Meredith’s collar and dragged her in front of him. “Repeat what you said again.”Meredith inhaled Jeremy’s scent hungrily as she started crying pitifully.Despite the man looking at her frigidly, his eyes and handsome face were still the things she longed for even though he was in an angry state right now.“Jeremy, even though I’ve done a lot of bad things, my feelings for you are genuine. I really love—”“If you don’t want to suffer, answer my question. Is my child with Maddie really alive?” Jeremy interrupted impatiently. His malicious eyes caused Meredith’s body to go cold.She trembled as she looked into Jeremy’s eyes. She nodded. “He’s not dead yet. H-He’s still alive…”The frost in Jeremy’s eyes melted. “Where is he? Where’s the child?”Meredith bit her dry lip. “Jeremy, I want to get out of here.”“Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me? You’d better tell me before I find out for myself. If no
It had been five years and this was the first time Jeremy felt that Jackson’s voice sounded so nice when he was calling him daddy.He walked over to Jackson and squatted. He looked at this small face with a gentle gaze. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but at this moment, he felt that this child in front of him looked more and more like Madeline.“Jack,” he suppressed the emotions in his heart and called out his name gently.Jackson nodded. “Daddy, when can I go home? I miss Mommy. Not my mommy but Vera.”Jackson emphasized.Jeremy felt a tightness in his heart. “Jack, Vera is your mommy. You only have one mommy. Remember that.”“I remember.” Jackson nodded. He waved the item in his hand. “I’m going to finish this bunny soon. After I’m done, I’ll give it to Mommy to protect her.”The little guy started introducing his gadget.Jeremy finally understood that it was a mini self-defense device.He was surprised that the five-year-old kid would have such a talent. However, wh
