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
“She left? Where did she go? Do you know?” Eloise asked frantically.The receptionist guessed and said, “I think she might be going home at this time.”“Home…” Eloise rolled the word in her mouth as she was stuck in a daze.Home…Montgomery Manor should be her house. However, Eloise and Sean did not dare to hope if she wanted to go back with them.Perhaps, she would be unwilling to do so.Eloise remembered what Madeline said when she came to Montgomery Manor for Jackson two days ago.She said that would be the last time she went over.Back then, Eloise did not understand, but now, she understood what she meant.When she thought about it, Eloise started bawling. She felt extremely remorseful.Sean held her. “Ellie, don’t cry. Don’t worry. We’ll surely be able to see Eveline again.”“She won’t want to see us. She must’ve hated us…” Eloise’s eyes were red from crying as she recalled the day at the hospital. She recalled how she had blamed herself so much till she wanted to end
