Madeline picked up the object that was lying in Jeremy’s palm.Her eyes flickered as the memories suddenly dragged her back to that summer long, long ago…At the age of ten, she met a 12-year-old Jeremy.At that time, she had given him that colorful seashell and said she hoped he would always be happy.Jeremy’s eyes were full of caution back then, but he still showed Madeline a rare smile in the end.The ten-year-old Madeline was ignorant and naive. She later realized that at the moment when Jeremy looked at her, the throbbing of her heart signified a love at first sight that would last for a thousand years.Later, Jeremy made a bookmark with leaves and gave it to her.She had been treasuring it carefully, keeping it in her diary and sometimes taking a glance at it.Although, once when she had wanted to read the contents of her previous diary, she realized the diary was missing along with the bookmark wedged in it.She had been sad for a long time.After all, that was the onl
Seeing the person already seated in front of her, she sneered. She walked over and sat down slowly. “You came.”Her tone was irreverent and she looked at ease with death.“Don't talk nonsense. Do you still have five million in your account?” Tanner asked impatiently.“I’ve been with Jeremy for so many years, so I’ve gained some benefits,” Meredith sneered arrogantly as she leaned back on the chair. “You can first go to my other account to withdraw one million. After everything is done, I’ll tell you the password for another account.”Tanner’s eyes shone instantly, but he still had some doubts. “Don’t play games with me.”“Hmph, I’m going to die in half a month. What can I get from keeping this money?” Meredith said nonchalantly, but suddenly, she clenched her fists as a burst of frenzy set off in her eyes. “But before I die, I must first witness that b*tch Madeline’s death with my own eyes!”“As long as you can help me settle this matter, that five million is yours!” Meredith tem
At the same time, Madeline also firmly believed that the truth behind the disappearance of her diary was Meredith’s work.“Meredith, you’re the one who stole my diary back then. You saw the contents inside and knew that Jeremy and I had such a relationship when we were young. So, you pretended to be me, planned a deceit, and led Jeremy to firmly believe that you were the little girl he made a promise with back then.”After telling the whole truth, Meredith’s eyes narrowed instantly.She did not make excuses, so it was already a tacit admittance.In her opinion, it was useless to argue as Jeremy already knew about it.Madeline clenched her fists, a cold light seeping out of her beautiful eyes. “Meredith Crawford, you’re so pathetic.”Hearing this, Meredith lifted her fiercely shining eyes suddenly and slammed her fist on the table. “What did you say? Madeline what did you say?! You’re calling me pathetic?”“That’s right, you’re pathetic.” Madeline sneered and chuckled. “By now, y
Before she could touch Madeline, she was subdued by the prison guards.However, Meredith did not stop yelling. She got even crazier and more hysterical. “I won’t let you and Jeremy be a pair! I won’t let you do as you wish, Madeline!”“Jeremy is mine, he’s mine! Madeline, who are you to steal my man? Why did a woman like you occupy Jeremy’s heart for 18 years?! How dare you?!”18 years…The words that Meredith roared out suddenly quickened Madeline’s heartbeat.Before she could think deeply about it, Meredith continued shouting crazily.“B*tch! You b*tch! If it weren’t for you, the person Jeremy would have fallen in love at first sight with on the first day of college would be me! You deliberately pretended to bump into Jeremy to catch his attention! Because of you, Jeremy ignored the love letters I wrote to him!”‘Before Meredith pretended to be me, she wrote love letters to Jeremy?’Madeline was surprised. She looked up to see a trace of sadness on Meredith’s face.“But then
Meredith suddenly returned to her senses upon hearing this. Only then did she realize that she had just revealed the truth that should not have been revealed!It seemed to her that what she said was a great gift to Madeline but was an ultimate mockery of herself!Meredith’s expression suddenly changed. She regretfully wanted to take back those words, but it was too late.Seeing Madeline turning around gracefully, Meredith yelled in panic, “Madeline, come back! You come back! What I said just now was a lie. Jeremy doesn’t love you! He doesn’t love you at all, he loves me! Meeeeeeee....”At the end of the argument, Meredith’s emotions completely collapsed.The more Meredith wanted to cover up and reason fallaciously, it only made Madeline all the more convinced of the fact that Jeremy loved her deeply.On the way back, Madeline’s thoughts could not help but wander. Her mind was unable to rest.The words that Meredith had roared out repeatedly resounded by her ears. Those unbelieva
It was a shame they could only miss it."Daddy, why didn't Mommy come to see me today? She said she would play with me this weekend." Jackson's voice pulled Madeline's thoughts back.She raised her head and saw the little guy pulling at Jeremy's trouser legs, his head facing up as he asked expectantly.Jeremy stretched out his hand and stroked his small head with a gentle smile. "Jack, starting from next Monday, Daddy is going on a business trip and will not be able to come back for a long time. You have to listen to your mother, okay?""How long is a long time?" the little guy asked innocently.Jeremy smiled reluctantly. "You’ll understand when you grow up."Jackson fluttered his big, bright, and smart eyes. "Then, I must grow up quickly so that I can see Daddy again soon.""My baby, you’re so good.” Jeremy praised. He suddenly knelt down and hugged Jackson into his arms."Daddy, what's the matter with you?" Jackson blinked ignorantly.Jeremy stroked the little guy lightly as
Jeremy's face was shrouded in dark clouds for a moment as stormy waves were seen in his deep eyes."Are you crazy? Do you know what you’re saying?" His eyes flashed with a dazzling cold light while his words were like ice. "With your words, you’re not even worthy of being Jack's grandmother!"Karen felt a chill running down her back when she realized that she had made a mistake.She hurriedly corrected herself and softened her tone. "Jeremy, I only said the wrong thing because I was so angry, but this woman did indeed break our family apart while colluding with Felipe.""Let’s not mention this matter for the time being, but she did intend to kill your grandfather!" Winston glared at Madeline furiously."Linnie wouldn’t do such a thing." Jeremy assured without hesitation.Madeline never thought that Jeremy would one day choose to trust her without hesitation, but as soon as he said this, Madeline heard Karen scolding her again."Why wouldn't she? She has done many of those sordid
Madeline stepped out of the hospital door and slowly came to a stop. The corners of her lips curled into a smile. "There will never be a day where you and I can stand together anymore."Jeremy's heart was instantly broken into two pieces when he heard those words. He looked at Madeline's back that was close at hand, but he felt that there was a distance of endless mountains and rivers between them."Eveline? It's really you, Eveline!" In the distance, Eloise called out to Madeline in surprise and ran over.Madeline looked at the person who was gradually approaching, feeling surprised. While she was still feeling puzzled, the little guy in Jeremy's arms asked, "Grandma, why did you come to the hospital as well?"There was a flash of worry in Eloise's eyes as she replied, "It's nothing. Grandma and Grandpa are just here for a routine check-up.""Are both of you really okay?" Madeline opened her lips slightly.Seeing Madeline caring about herself and Sean, a smile appeared on Eloise
