After listening to Jeremy's words calmly, Madeline moved his arms away coldly and turned to face him."If you’re going to make an excuse, at least find a reasonable one." She looked at him contemptuously. "You said you love me? Your love for me allowed you to let Meredith trample on and hurt me?”Jeremy frowned and tried to pull Madeline's hand. "Linnie, listen to me first."Ding dong, ding dong!Just then, the doorbell rang.Jeremy's swordlike eyebrows were even more tightly locked as he turned to open the door, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.However, the moment the door opened, Jeremy's face instantly fell cold. "What are you doing here?"Felipe stood at the door. He glanced at Jeremy who had bandages on his hand, raised his eyes, and looked into the room. "Vera, it's me. Are you there?"Jeremy’s eyes became even colder as he kept Felipe outside. "Felipe, there’s no such person as Vera here. Leave immediately."However, as soon as his voice fell, Madeline had already walked
In her most helpless moment, he had watched indifferently.It was at that moment that she awoke. Her self-conceited infatuation was but an illusory dream.True love should not be so dark and cold.The air was quiet for a long time, then Madeline spoke again, "Jeremy, if you really want to apologize to me, then sign our divorce papers as soon as possible."Hearing the word divorce again, Jeremy felt as if he had fallen into the abyss once more.He saw the determination in Madeline's eyes. She would never look at him with that kind of loving and admiring look anymore.She would never call him ‘Jeremy’ softly again.This loss was caused by him.Seeing Jeremy silent, Madeline made her final decision. "I’ll wait for you to sign our divorce at the law firm tomorrow. If you still have any conscience at all, give me custody of Jackson. If you refuse, I will fight till the end."Hearing these words, the corners of Jeremy’s lips twitched as he sobbed quietly.He suppressed the painfu
Somehow, Madeline suddenly fell into a trance.Seeing Jeremy's signature on the divorce agreement, not only did she not have any emotions of being relaxed or free. In fact, she felt a small prickling sensation.Those fond memories from her youth, the throbbing secret love of childhood, and the failed marriage had all come to an end at this moment.Walking out of the door of the law firm, Jeremy looked at Madeline with nostalgia. "Linnie, can I hold you one last time?"Madeline should have refused, but she nodded her head as if possessed.Jeremy smiled slightly, then spread his arms to embrace her.He closed his eyes and greedily enjoyed this last moment of warmth. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was already blurred.Things could have been very happy.However, he had personally destroyed this happiness.He had hurt her deeply yet still tried to gain her forgiveness. He really was despicable. "Can I be with Jack for a few more days?"Madeline nodded gently. "Yes.""T
"There’s no need to thank me. It’s all because of you that I’m able to regain the things that originally belonged to my parents."When the words reached her ears, Madeline suddenly felt as if she had profoundly sinned.Being able to come back to life, her purpose was to seek revenge.She was delighted to see Jeremy in such misery, ending up with nothing left. However, she would not want to see the flames of her revenge affect Old Master Whitman.After Felipe left the scene, Madeline gave Jeremy a call.Jeremy was surprised when he received her call, but he still appeared at the place where Madeline wanted to meet him.After they met, he drove the car and finally arrived at a nursing home."Is this where Grandpa is currently staying?" Madeline felt it to be rather unacceptable."The environment and facilities here are very good." Jeremy then led the way forward.Madeline knew that for an old man, it would not matter how well his living environment was or how well he ate. It woul
Old Master Whitman’s gaze was serious.Madeline's heart thumped as she asked in confusion, "The truth of that incident? Grandpa, which incident are you talking about?"Old Master Whitman smiled kindly and gently. "Silly girl, the truth is, it was not I who decided the marriage between you and Jeremy."..." Madeline was dumbfounded. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the main reason why Jeremy and I got married back then...""No." Old Master Whitman interrupted Madeline's doubts. "It was someone else. It was this person who had taken the initiative to look for me and ask me to host the marriage between you and Jeremy."Upon hearing this, Madeline felt even more lost. "Who is it? Grandpa, who is this person?""It was Jeremy.""..." Madeline’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Jeremy? How could that be possible? How could he be the one to initiate marrying me?""Because that b*stard liked you, but he was prideful and refused to admit it.""..."Madeline felt her heart i
‘He likes me?’Madeline still thought this reason was absurd.Even if he did say he loved her every now and then, the torture that had engulfed her in darkness in the past was still vivid.“I’ll send you back.” Jeremy’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and Madeline returned to her senses.She looked at the man beside her, her gaze full of questions.‘No, Eveline Montgomery. Don’t believe this man.‘If he had had any trace of affection for you, you wouldn’t be harboring such deep hatred today.’Jeremy noticed that Madeline was looking at him a little strangely. He delusionally wished that she still had some attachment toward him.It was a pity that a fantasy was just fantasy after all.Madeline called a cab by the roadside and went back alone. Jeremy only left after desolately watching Madeline who drifted away.Not long after he left, a figure entered stealthily into the nursing home.That person went straight to the front desk and announced, “I’m Old Mr. Whitman’s granddaugh
The sudden change in Yvonne’s behavior reminded Madeline of Meredith.She vaguely noticed something, then heard familiar footsteps behind her.“Cousin Jeremy, you came just in time. I happened to bump into Vera just now, but she suddenly scolded me and even pushed me to the ground. It hurts, boo-hoo…”Tsk.Sure enough, Yvonne’s sudden change in behavior was because Jeremy was here.This was similar to the two-faced drama that was still fresh in Madeline’s memory.Meredith used to play such tricks repeatedly in front of Jeremy. What made her bitterly disheartened was that Jeremy chose to believe Meredith time and time again.At this moment, Madeline already did not look forward to Jeremy’s opinion.It did not matter to her whether he believed or not.“Cousin Jeremy, my foot seems to be twisted. It hurts and I can’t stand up. Can you help me up?” Yvonne stretched out her hand to Jeremy pitifully with expectant eyes.Just when Madeline thought that Jeremy would definitely help h
Madeline’s expression changed a little hearing that. “Bring Jack down immediately. You should’ve already seen what kind of attitude your cousin sister has toward me just now. I don’t wish for another Meredith to appear and spread her resentment to Jack just because she hates me.”Jeremy wanted to say something but did not in the end. He immediately went up to carry Jackson down obediently.Karen chased them to the door and asked Jeremy why he was suddenly taking Jackson away.Jeremy did not answer her but it was Yvonne who was following him who opened her mouth to instigate defamation. “Aunty, it’s all because Madeline is causing trouble! I met her downstairs just now and not only did she bully me, she even told Jeremy that she’s afraid you’ll hurt Jack, so she asked him to bring him back to her immediately!”Hearing this, Karen ground her teeth in anger. “That b*tch. She was restless before, but she’s even more restless now! I must let her know how great I am!”Seeing Karen gnash
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
