???After hearing what the judges had to say, Yvonne's expression slowly changed to become much more awful.She stared at the design that was displayed on the screen, finding it hard to believe. She was absent-minded for a few seconds.'This... This is the work of a famous jewelry designer?'How did it come down to this?'Damn it!'It must be Madeline who copied that designer's work, planning to use it for the contest!'Then doesn’t that mean I’ve become the scapegoat for Madeline?!'That was what was coursing through Yvonne's mind. Exasperated, she glared at Madeline.Madeline sat under the lights quietly and elegantly. Her stunning face remained composed.Madeline could not help but curl her red, sexy lips into a smile when she saw Yvonne glaring at her while clenching her teeth."Yvonne, how dare you say that this is the product of your hard work when all you did was copy a great designer's work and submit it for the contest? You're indeed hilarious and foolish. Designing
'What?!'Karen never expected that Madeline would so boldly call her foolish on such an occasion.Even though her status was not the same as previously, most people in Glendale knew Madeline was Jeremy’s wife. As such, they would also know that the mother-in-law Madeline mentioned was no one other than Karen!A commotion broke out at the scene as the crowd started heatedly discussing.Jeremy was sitting not far away. His face was covered with a thin layer of ice even though he was not speaking.Eloise and Sean, who were sitting in front of Karen, spun around. "Karen, did you do something to harm my daughter again? What's with those statements blurted by your niece?!" Eloise questioned.With Eloise’s comment, everyone came to realize that Karen was the foolish mother-in-law who Madeline mentioned.Facing so many suspicious gazes, Karen immediately stood up. "Madeline, what are you blabbering in this kind of situation? I still want to conserve my dignity even if you plan to discar
"No wonder Young Master Whitman's business has dropped drastically. Perhaps it's because of having such a mother!""However, Young Master Whitman has such a capable wife. I'm sure it'll be an easy task to start all over again."After hearing the comments from the crowd, Karen picked up her purse while feeling embarrassed and fled from the scene.She had no choice but to escape from the scene to prevent further humiliation."Security, please take this lowly person out of here. Let's carry on with the contest." The judges glared at Yvonne.Yvonne clenched both her fists, feeling dissatisfied from the bottom of her heart."Don't touch me. I'll walk on my own!"She threw a temper and shoved the security aside. It was only after glaring at Madeline that she was willing to leave the scene.Jeremy lowered his gaze and held onto Madeline's hand. "Linnie, why didn't you let me know that they were plotting against you behind your back?"Madeline let out a smile and said with a faint ton
'We'll each go our separate ways.'That phrase that sounded familiar was like an icy spear piercing through Jeremy's heart.He thought back to that fateful day three years ago.She had lost her vision and came to his and Meredith’s wedding ceremony.At that moment, she was gravely ill and was on the brink of death.However, she summed up every bit of strength left within her to support herself and say to him firmly, "Jeremy, thanks for coming into my life. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you've given me in the past. However, I hereby return everything to you, including my ashes. From today onward, we don't owe each other any more favors. I hope I won't bump into you in the next life…"Now, she had blurted out the same phrase.He felt a pinch in his heart. Jeremy fixed his stare on Madeline's gorgeous face, speechless.'Linnie, you've recovered all your memories, right?'In the end, you've decided to leave me, is that right?'The sweet memories that you’ve given me durin
Madeline seized the opportunity to shove him away and added with a much colder tone, "I've no recollection of what happened before I lost my memories, and I've no intention to recall them. Now, I only have hatred for you, do you understand? Don't come and look for me. I don't want to see you anymore."Her eyes were stony as she spun around mercilessly. "Let's go, Felipe.""Alright." Felipe was being a gentleman as he opened the door for Madeline. Before entering the car, Felipe glanced at Jeremy who was keeping quiet amid the gusty winds. Felipe's eyes were glinting as if he had emerged victorious.Boom!The first storm landed on the first night of summer.Those without an umbrella were sprinting to prevent getting caught in the rain, except for Jeremy whose soul had left his body. He was still standing in the middle of the rain.His eyes moistened as he got drenched with rainwater.He sealed his eyes tight and saw only the wounds deep in his heart.However, he firmly believed
"Linnie! Linnie!"Amid the confusion, Madeline heard someone anxiously calling out to her.She tried her very best to open her eyes but her efforts ended up fruitless.After passing out, Madeline began her long dream.At a snowy area, she dreamed that she was drowning in an icy cold pond. She could not swim and struggled to climb up the shore. Jeremy was there, standing at the edge of the river.He stood tall and mighty. There was an ignorant smile plastered across his charming looks.She screamed, "Save me, Jeremy!"The man did not move an inch and even cast a disdainful look at her.The slim ray of hope that Madeline was holding onto vanished bit by bit as she continued to sink deeper into the cold pond.Facing such a desperate situation, she saw Meredith hugging Jeremy. They were both being affectionate in front of her.Madeline felt her heart sink straight down into the bottom of the lake. At that moment, she could vividly hear Jeremy's stony comment. "Listen up, Madeline
She opened the ceiling-to-floor window and a chilling breeze struck her, blowing her long hair.She looked toward the endless ocean and the golden sun that was shining right on the surface of the ocean. As the wind passed, waves formed on the ocean. The branches of the palm trees beside started waving as well.'What a nice scenery.'But where is this place?'Madeline thought hard, trying her best to recall whether she had been to this place, but nothing struck her mind.Then, Jeremy returned.He was holding onto a bowl of seafood noodles and a glass of warm water. His stunning face remained wearing a smile.He spoke when he saw Madeline not moving at all on the balcony, "Have something to eat, Linnie."Madeline remained motionless until some time when she tilted her head and put on a sharp expression."What are you plotting at, Jeremy? Do you want to lock me in here and torture me to death?"Previously, Jeremy would never come to realize how heartbreaking it was to have a lov
A sharp and glittering knife was directed at Jeremy's chest.Jeremy lowered his bushy eyelashes to look down, then a spellbinding smile appeared on his face as he lifted his eyes.He was staring at Madeline's beautiful orbs which were giving out a courageous and extraordinary vibe.It seemed that she was serious about it and was not just trying to scare Jeremy.However, Jeremy was serious as well."Linnie,” he called out to her softly. He did not back off but inched forward instead. The sharp edge of the knife was now buried deep into his clothes. Madeline was dumbfounded as she never expected Jeremy to take the initiative to come closer against the knife.At the same time, he was still smiling at her."Linnie, I know that you've forgotten everything in the past, but it doesn't matter because I still remember them," he said with a smile, his eyes fixed on her."That year when it was snowing heavily, I did a very inhumane thing. I exhumed your grandfather's tomb and even threa
