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
“Why?” There was an unreadable sneer on Felipe’s face. “If I was able to bring Madeline back from the dead back then, then I can let her love or hate anyone as I please.”Jeremy lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms with a gentle gaze. When he lifted his head again, his eyes were like icepicks as they penetrated sharply at Felipe.“No one’s allowed to manipulate Linnie’s emotions or thoughts. Felipe, Linnie will see your true self one day.”Felipe laughed. “It won’t happen,” he said as he approached Jeremy. Against the light of the car, his handsome face was covered with a dark shadow.“Jeremy, appreciate your last two days with Maddie because soon enough, you’ll completely lose her.”Felipe finished his sentence with a laugh. Then, he turned around and walked to the side of the road.A driver opened the door for him before they sped away.Jeremy did not want to chase after him as he only had Madeline in his mind right now.He brought Madeline to the hospital. It wa
“You’re my wife, you dummy. It’s only normal for me to worry about you.”Madeline’s smile grew sweeter after she heard that.Soon after, Jeremy called Adam over. After making sure that nothing was wrong with her, Jeremy brought her home.On the way, he was still thinking about what Felipe said last night.Two days?What would Felipe do after two days?However, no matter what, he would still hold on to Madeline firmly.After they went home, Jeremy told Madeline in a gentle tone that she had to stay home these two days. She could not go out no matter what.Madeline agreed.However, since Jeremy had to send Jackson to school, he had no choice but to leave her alone for a short period of time.In the morning, Madeline pushed the old man to enjoy the sun since the weather was pleasant.She sat down next to the old master with her drawing tools. When she was about to pick up her brush, her phone rang.To her surprise, it was from the police. They told her that Meredith would be u
Meredith’s piercing screeches invaded Madeline’s eardrums.Madeline felt something pull her heartstrings, but she did not stop walking.Meredith was seeing red when Madeline was not affected by what she said. Then, she yelled even more hysterically, “Madeline, you’re investing your emotions into the wrong person! You think you’ve gotten together with the boy from back then, but in reality, Jeremy is not that boy! He’s not!“He doesn’t remember making any promises because he’s not that boy! That’s why he tormented and tarnished you so cruelly! Do you think he treated me well back then because he thought I was you? Hahaha! No! It’s because he truly loves me! He’s only good to you now so that he can avenge me!“Madeline, you’ve been looking for that boy for so many years and at the end of the day, you still got the wrong person! You even let down the boy who made that promise to you! I want to see how you’re gonna enjoy your life with Jeremy in the future! Hahaha!”Madeline walked ou
Jeremy lifted his cold gaze. His icy gaze froze over Meredith’s passionate and expectant heart.“I’ve only loved one woman in this life and that woman is Linnie. As for you, do you think that any man would like a sinister and despicable woman like you?”“Heh!” Meredith laughed bitterly. Then, she clenched her fists. Her eyes were also filled with intense jealousy and hatred. “Alright, what a straightforward answer. It’s so straightforward that I’ll die with remaining grievance!”She bit her lip tightly, tearing the flesh. She did not let go even when blood started pouring from her wound.Jeremy had no interest in seeing her in this wretched state, so he asked impatiently, “I don’t have time to waste. Just spit it out.”Meredith laughed bitterly at herself when Jeremy refused to look at her. “Jeremy, I’ll die tomorrow. Why won’t you look at me? Am I so hideous? Back then, you always told me that I’m the most beautiful and kindest woman in the world.”The disgust in Jeremy’s eyes w
Madeline got down to her knees and picked the items that had dropped to the floor. She was much quicker than Felipe."Why do you have this with you?" Madeline frowned as her eyes glinted with curiosity and astonishment.Felipe reached out for the colorful shell from Madeline calmly and held it dearly in his hands. "More than ten years ago at the beach of April Hill, there was a little girl who gifted this colorful shell to me personally. She even said that she hoped I'll always be happy and wished to be with me forever."Felipe said as he looked at Madeline in the eye, revealing his pair of orbs that were giving out a sense of loneliness and sorrow."However, after over ten years, that girl came to fall in love with another man.""What are you talking about?" Madeline's eyes widened after hearing Felipe's comment.She looked at Felipe's handsome face before her, astonished. Her mind was flashing with memories of Meredith barking at her in prison."Impossible, that's impossible."
"Stop... Stop talking. My head hurts! Jeremy, Jeremy…""Linnie!"Jeremy, who just returned from prison, arrived at the entrance of the villa and witnessed the entire scene.Madeline cried out to his name desperately while Felipe was grabbing onto Madeline's hands.He quickly parked his car, rushed under the rain in huge strides, and hugged Madeline who was still muttering desperately in his arms."I'm here, Linnie. Don't be afraid.” He hugged Madeline in his arms. He felt as if his heart was being stabbed when he saw her suffering expression.Rage coursed through him as he turned to face Felipe with a malicious glare. Cold words were spewed from his thin lips, "Get lost. Stop disturbing my wife. You’d better vanish this instant."Felipe did not get angry and only let out a smile. His pair of cold orbs shifted from Madeline's pale face to Jeremy's eyes that were brewing with rage.He said nothing and only revealed a smile.Jeremy retrieved his glare after Felipe left. He then l
