“Do you see them? Mr. Whitman, thank you for your concern. You allowed me to live such a fulfilling life every day during my thousand over days in prison.”Madeline smiled bitterly, her hot tears falling on the back of Jeremy's hand. His slender fingers trembled lightly. He never knew that tears could be so hot.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Madeline heard the sound of the wiper wiping against the windshield.The air around her body seemed to quiet down suddenly. Madeline wiped away her tears, the look in her eyes becoming calmer all of a sudden.“Jeremy, if I could do it all over again, I would rather that I never met you.”After hearing Madeline's words, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses. He stared at her with his bottomless eyes.“Madeline, you have no choice. You’ve become my wife, and you’ll never be able to change this fact in this lifetime.”Madeline sneered sarcastically, “Oh? Really? Mr. Whitman, you’re saying that you’ll never divorce me in this
Meredith pointed at Madeline and yelled at her. She abandoned her usual hypocritical and gentle image.Mrs. Hughes was not surprised by Meredith's fierceness and viciousness. It was obvious that she had seen Meredith's true face a long time ago.Madeline originally wanted to leave, but seeing Meredith being all flustered and exasperated at this moment, she simply sat on the sofa and parted her lips unhurriedly. “I’m the matriarch of this house, so is it strange that I’m here? What’s weird is why an outsider like you is inside my house?”“You’re the matriarch of this house?” It was as if Meredith had heard a huge joke. “Madeline, did you become stupid while you were in prison? I’m the real matriarch of this house! And you’re just a dog who’s chasing after Jeremy!”Her words were extremely insulting and slanderous. She looked malicious with her snarling teeth, and she did not have the demeanor of a young lady from a rich family at all.Madeline chuckled lightly. "If I were a dog, so
To be honest, Madeline was still extremely disturbed and uneasy. With her current ability, she could not fight Meredith at all.Furthermore, she could not read Jeremy's attitude toward her today.When she was thinking about it, there was a movement from the hallway.Madeline raised her head just as Jeremy's noble and elegant body came into her vision.The rain had not stopped yet, and his usual frigid temperament seemed a little colder because of the rain.He happened to look over, his eyes meeting Madeline's. His eyes were too deep. It was as if she would sink deep into his eyes with one more look.Madeline's heart jumped inexplicably. When she was about to avoid this gaze, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side.Meredith clutched one side of her face and ran to Jeremy while sobbing. Then, she buried herself in his chest.“Jeremy…” Her voice trembled as if she had been greatly wronged.Alright.This two-faced bitch was about to start acting again.Madeline lifted the c
Meredith blinked innocently and harmlessly, her tone soft and weak.However, men seemed to be blind to the most obvious performances. A performance like this was especially effective on men.Madeline knew Jeremy would agree without even thinking about it. Soon, she saw him nodding. “Stay, then.”Sure enough.Madeline found it ridiculous, and she could feel Meredith looking at her provocatively from the corner of her eyes.However, Meredith could only feel proud for a few seconds as she soon saw Jeremy glancing at Mrs. Hughes. He ordered, “Go and prepare a guest room for Miss Crawford.”Madeline was drinking her soup and almost choked when she heard this.The triumphant color on Meredith's face almost completely disappeared in an instant.What the hell?Meredith felt that this was too unbelievable. ‘Am I the Miss Crawford he mentioned?’When she thought about it, Madeline felt that it was not right.How could Jeremy neglect the love of his life?However, the fact was that he
She had to stay alive until the day Meredith got her retribution!Madeline did not successfully leave Glendale. Jeremy would bring her back to Whitman Manor occasionally.Old Master Whitman was weirdly fond of Madeline and was oddly kind to her. He even patted her shoulder and said, “This child looks so familiar. Do you think we were grandfather and granddaughter in our previous lives?”To be honest, it was not only the old master who had this feeling, but Madeline also felt the same.The moment she met the old master, she felt like she had seen him before.Whenever Madeline went to Whitman Manor, aside from pretending to be gentle and kind to Jeremy, everyone was treating her as if she was an eyesore—especially Meredith.Initially, she was able to kick her away and get the position of Mrs. Whitman successfully, but now, they could not get past Old Master Whitman. Getting the position of Mrs. Whitman now was as difficult as flying.Monday afternoon, Madeline was looking for a jo
Madeline’s head felt heavy. After she was shaken by Meredith, she felt even dizzier.“Maddie, why are you so cruel? I don’t care how much you hate me and resent me, but my child is innocent. Why’d you do this to Jack?”This sounded so familiar.Madeline did not forget how she almost said the same things to Meredith.However, what was going on now?What was Meredith saying to her?“Maddie, tell me, where did you hide Jack? Tell me!”When Madeline was still confused, Meredith screeched and questioned her hysterically again.“Jack?” Madeline remembered what happened before she fell asleep. Then, she looked at her whereabouts. She was at her current home.She was taking Jackson back to Whitman Manor earlier. Why was she here now?Madeline felt a cold gust of air creeping up from the bottom of her feet. She quivered. She did not dare to imagine what had happened.“Madeline, I didn’t expect you to really do what you claimed you would.” A bone-chilling voice said from above her hea
One minute was up in a blink of an eye.Madeline was woken by Meredith’s cries. Jeremy looked at her coldly and pressed three numbers on his phone. He was about to call the cops!“No!”Madeline’s tightly wound nerve finally snapped.She walked in front of Jeremy with a pale face. “Jeremy, I truly didn’t hide your son! I won’t do that kind of thing even if I despise Meredith!“I experienced the pain of being separated from my own flesh and blood, so I know it feels even worse than death. I’d never—”“So you’ll only be happy if Mer goes through this pain as well, right?” Jeremy interrupted Madeline. His gaze was like sharp knives, stabbing Madeline’s heart mercilessly.“Madeline, a leopard never changes its spots. A woman like you can die 1,000 times and still the resentment in my heart will never be diminished!”Hiss.His furious words penetrated Madeline’s heart like bullets that she was unable to dodge away from.“Don’t even think about coming out after going in now,” Jeremy
Madeline’s vision was blurred by the rain, but she could clearly feel Jeremy’s wrath.He grabbed her collar tightly, making Madeline almost unable to breathe.Looking at her red face that was on the brink of suffocation, he finally let go of his hands as if he was releasing his anger. Then, he pushed her away.Madeline gasped for air as her body was drenched in the rain.She picked up her wet phone and saw her messages on the screen.There was a message from an unknown sender at the top of the list. ‘The kid refuses to listen to me, so I beat him up good. He’s not making a sound now. When can you make the Whitmans pay up to get this kid back?’When she read this message, Madeline’s brain exploded. Then, her mind went blank.It was obviously a message about the kidnapping, but why was this message sent to her?“Madeline, you’re really something else. You even went as far as working with a ruffian to kidnap my son. If my son is hurt in any way, I’ll slice a piece of your flesh of
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
