“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
Smash!The teacup in Eloise’s hand slipped and smashed on the floor.Her limp hands were frozen in midair and could not move.“W-What did you say… Vera is Maddie…” Eloise muttered as tears quickly filled her eyes and blurred her vision. The only thing she could see right now was Madeline’s stunning face.Eloise did not suspect anything. It was natural that she would wish her daughter was still alive and well in this world. Plus, during this period of time, she had started to grow fond of Vera.She knew she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart was in such debilitating pain.Sean came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Eloise standing there looking dull and sluggish as she sobbed, he walked over feeling worried and curious.“Ellie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Sean was concerned. He looked at Jeremy in confusion. “Mr. Whitman, when did you get here? Why is Ellie so sad? Are you going to take Jack home?”Jeremy caressed Jackson’s hair. “I’m not taking him ba
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
