After Jeremy heard what she said, a layer of frost appeared in his eyes. “We have concrete proof and yet you’re still saying that Linnie framed you?”Yvonne trembled. She did not dare to look into Jeremy’s eyes. “I-I didn’t. I’ve been treating the old master like he’s my grandpa this whole time. How would I…”Winston was livid. He slammed his hand down on the table loudly. “I didn’t expect it to be you!”“No, it’s not me. I didn’t! Uncle Winston, you have to believe me—”“The truth is right in front of our eyes and you’re still lying to us!” Winston was outraged, and his face was turning from red to green.After Karen got over her shock, she felt nervous.Before she could get roped into this, she decided to gain the initiative by striking first. Hence, she slapped Yvonne heavily across the face.“Yvonne, you’re such a disappointment! You’ve ruined the reputation of the Yalemans! I’m so mad!”Karen pretended to feel resentful toward Yvonne for failing to meet her expectations. T
“Linnie.”“Maybe I’m just so despicable. Your cousin is clearly doing that to get rid of me. I think that… she might like you a lot.”“You dummy, no one can get rid of you and no one can get rid of your position in my heart.” He held her hand and looked at her sincerely. “Linnie, can you promise me one thing?”Madeline frowned in curiosity. “What is it?”Jeremy moved his lips. Then, he smiled and did not say anything. “It’s fine. I’ll tell you next time.”Madeline did not ask him about it, but a hint of joy flashed across her stunning eyes.After Yvonne was brought away by the police, the house was more peaceful.Karen did not have the power to do anything now that she was alone. Moreover, she felt that Madeline was acting weird these few days.Madeline looked weak and was easy to bully. However, if they decided to cause trouble for her, what they did to her would only come back to bite them in the bottom.As such, Karen did not dare to do anything impulsive.Under Madeline’s
After she heard that, Madeline gripped the handle of her cup dispiritedly.Looking at the liquid in the cup, she could not help but recall Jeremy’s gentle gaze when he looked at her the other day.Judging from his eyes, Madeline did not think he was pretending.For some reason, her heart started to beat faster.“Vera, what are you thinking about?”“Nothing.” Madeline came back to her senses and took a sip of her tea. “I can’t remember what happened in the middle. However, Jeremy did hurt me back then. He allowed his mistress and his family to humiliate and insult me. I know all about that. I’ll definitely seek revenge for this.”When she said this, there was a flash of resentment in Madeline’s eyes.Felipe looked at Madeline’s expression silently, curling his lips into a smirk.“Vera, just do what you need to do. I’ll support and wait for you.”“Thank you, Felipe. I know you’re the one who saved me when I was about to die.”Felipe was surprised. He had never told her this aft
…After a while, Felipe asked someone to send Madeline home.On the way home, Madeline played with her phone and realized that Jeremy had sent her a message a while ago. However, it stated that she had seen the message.She looked out the window and pondered. At the same time, the car was driving downhill.The speed of the car distracted her as a seemingly familiar scene appeared in her mind.When she came back to her senses, the car had stopped in front of her house.Jeremy came back the same time she got out of the car.When he saw Madeline standing at the front door with a dazed look on her face, he got out of the car hurriedly and ran toward her. “Linnie?”Madeline came back to her senses when she heard someone calling her name.She lifted her head and her eyes met Jeremy’s worried gaze. She smiled softly. “My mom called me just now and told me there’s a charity dinner tonight. She wants me to go with her, so I went to the mall just now. But I didn’t like any of the dresse
Madeline watched curiously as Eloise took out a vintage purse from her bag and handed it to her.“It’s time I give this back to its rightful owner.” Eloise’s benevolent gaze enveloped Madeline. “Eveline, I know you’ve lost your memories and you can’t remember what happened in the past. However, I can’t use this opportunity to lie to you because one day, you’ll recover and remember everything,” Eloise said as she started getting tearful.Madeline held the purse and felt a pendant inside.At this moment, Jeremy called and asked about Madeline’s location. She told him she was with Eloise and asked him to wait for her in the car.Jeremy did as he was told. One hour later, Madeline came back.He got out of the car to help her with her bags and the door. Then, he brought her home.On the way, Madeline held the gold pendant with her name carved on it. She caressed the pendant with her fingertip softly. Then, as she was doing that, some broken fragments of her memories started coming bac
That woman was wearing the six-digit white gown Yvonne saw at the shop this morning as she entered the hotel clicking her heels elegantly and gracefully.The host who was wearing a suit bowed and greeted the woman like he was treating a queen. He was extremely deferential to her.Yvonne watched in admiration. She dreamed that someone would treat her like that as well.Yvonne only came back to her senses when Karen called her name.Since they did not have invitations, they could only enter through the side door.When they got to the party, Yvonne’s eyes twinkled.She had seen similar sights in a lot of television shows before, but she had never experienced it on her own.She saw a lot of poised and immaculately-dressed handsome gentlemen there. As such, she was already searching for her target.After a few seconds, she had locked down on a handsome young man.When she was trying to go over and pretend to crash into him, Karen grabbed her before stopping her in a low voice. “We
She did not expect the Miss Vera who they were praising to be Madeline Crawford!After thinking about it, she was also named Vera and the person they were complimenting was Miss L.ady’s head jewelry designer, Vera Quinn.Vera Quinn was Madeline Crawford!Yvonne felt like an idiot. Initially, she wanted to worm her way into having a relationship with these two men, but now, she was just asking for trouble and humiliation.When Madeline saw Yvonne’s constipated face, a look of surprise appeared on her delicate face. “Why are you here? When did they release you?”“...”When everyone around them heard that, they started having suspicions about Yvonne.“Release? Miss Vera, do you know this person?”“Yeah, how would I not know her?” Madeline lifted her gaze and smiled softly. There was a sharp glint in her alluring eyes. “This is the author of the trending article about how I abused an old man,” she said with a smile, causing Yvonne to look more and more embarrassed.“However, what’
“Is this Miss Montgomery? I finally get the honor of meeting you tonight.”“Eveline, this is Sir Calver. He’s the previous chairman of our charity. He’s also your father’s good friend.” Eloise introduced.Madeline smiled politely and shook hands with Sir Calver. “Hello, Uncle Calver.”“Hello, hello. Miss Eveline, you’re so beautiful. The dinner tonight will be dazzling because of you. I wonder if I can ask you to play a song for us as the opening act for the charity dinner?”“Play a song?” Madeline lifted her gaze to see a black piano in front of her.Karen smirked. She was excited to see Madeline mess this up. “Hmph, you were humiliating me just now. Finally, it’s your turn.”Yvonne walked over. “Aunty Karen, does Madeline know how to play the piano?”“She doesn’t know squat! She was like a maid when she was living with the Crawfords. Do you think she was able to touch something as expensive as a piano? If that piece of trash didn’t have Jeremy, then she’d be nothing!” Karen gr
