“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
All the servants and bodyguards were awakened and came rushing out, but none of them could stop Jeremy who was giving off a murderous aura."Ask Felipe to come out and meet me." He walked to the center of the hall and glared at the bodyguards who were blocking him."Why the crowd when it's my nephew who wants to meet me?" Felipe's voice was heard coming from upstairs.Jeremy's cold eyes shifted over to see Felipe taking his own sweet time to come down.Felipe was in a loose bathrobe with a carefree expression on his face. "You guys should be resting when it's time to rest. Don't interrupt my reunion with my lovely nephew." He then sent the servants and bodyguards away.Soon, there were only the two of them in the hall."Felipe Whitman, is this your way of snatching someone's wife? By constantly giving pressure to Linnie and making her suffer? Are you happy about it?" Rage was brewing within Jeremy's orbs as he questioned.Felipe smirked," I pressured Linnie just so she could reg
Jeremy slammed the chopsticks on the table.Karen immediately went silent. She raised her gaze only to find that even the old master was glaring at her, exasperated as if he was not satisfied.Madeline, on the other hand, offered to wipe the old master's mouth before meeting Karen's gaze. She let out a smile and said, "I guess the saying about how one's personality will not change is referring to people like you, right?"…"You know that spouting out such nonsense will make everyone unhappy, yet you still blurt it out. I can't comprehend your actions. I wonder whether you're a fool or if you just have low EQ?"Karen's face went pink. "You…""Stop it! Eat your food!" Winston cut her short, not allowing her to finish her comment.However, Karen was not willing to give in. Staring at Madeline's smirk, she felt as if Madeline was making fun of her.Infuriated, Karen picked up her purse and went outside without finishing her breakfast.She claimed to be heading out shopping when in
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
