”Jeremy Whitman, the ring will be returned to you now, but you must remember to never show up in front of Miss Eveline again, or else you’ll bear the consequences.” The man in the suit warned.Jeremy sneered lightly, “Your master dares not confront me head-on, so who are you to teach me how to do things?”“You…” The man conceded and glared at Jeremy with an ugly expression.“Give me the ring.” Jeremy’s tone was cold and pressing.Seeing him reach out, the man suddenly smirked. “I’ll return the ring to you now. Mr. Whitman, catch.”Hearing this man’s tone, it was obviously malicious.Indeed, he deliberately threw the ring away from Jeremy’s palm.The ring slipped past Jeremy’s fingers and rolled down to the concrete floor with a clink.The man chuckled triumphantly, got into the car, and drove away.Jeremy hurriedly crouched down, reaching his hand out in panic to feel for the ring that had fallen to the ground.Madeline was completely despondent seeing this scene.‘Is this J
Jeremy’s fleeing footsteps suddenly halted, and he heard Madeline’s approaching footsteps.His heartstrings tightened even more, but he forced a calm smile and turned his face slightly. “Take Jackson away and live the life you want. You’ll be happy staying away from a scumbag like me.”Madeline walked to his back, the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes getting blown dry by the autumn wind.Seeing the calm and motionless appearance of the man in front of her, she chuckled again. “Live the life I want? Jeremy, do you know what kind of life I want to live?”Jeremy lowered his beautiful eyes dimly and smiled. “At the very least, a life without me must be what you want.”After his voice fell, the air was silent for a few seconds. Then, Jeremy opened his lips lightly.“Now that we’ve gotten the divorce certificate and I’ve let you go, we’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on. I won’t bother you anymore, let alone pester you.”As he said, he reluctantly turned h
Felicity was stunned when she heard that, but she quickly understood Jeremy’s intention. “Jeremy,” she called out Jeremy’s name, smiled, and walked to his side. She turned to look at Madeline who was standing at the gate of the villa. “There’s a lady at the gate. Is she looking for you?”“I don’t know that lady.” Jeremy’s answer was crisp.Madeline held Jackson’s hand and turned around. “Jack, let’s go.”“But Daddy…”“Be a good boy.” She smiled and coaxed, but she did not know why her smile was so strained.Felicity stared at Madeline’s back with hatred and disgust. It was not until Jeremy walked to the side to put a distance between them did she withdraw her gaze.“Mr. Whitman, the lady at the gate is actually someone you know, isn't it?”“Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Walker.” Jeremy did not answer Felicity’s question and just thanked her. “I’m not in the mood for any treatment today, so you can go back.”His voice fell as he walked into the house. His back no longer
Looking at the confusion on Madeline’s face, Eloise held her hand preciously. “Silly daughter, the reason is simple. It’s because he loves you.”‘It’s because he loves you.’The words that reached her ears fell onto her heart like strange needles.“Three months ago, on the day before you were prepared to leave Glendale, I actually went to look for Jeremy.” Eloise recalled the situation back then. “I told him that you were leaving for F Country with Felipe the next day and hoped that he would stop you. But he just told me indifferently that not bothering and not pestering you was the last thing he could do for you.”Not bothering and not pestering her...Madeline chewed on those six words as if she was gradually understanding Jeremy’s distant behavior toward her now.He had done it on purpose?Purposely alienating her, treating her coldly, and drawing a clear line with her just to not let her know that he was seriously injured because of her so that he would not bother her anymor
Madeline curled her lips and smiled. “Do you want me to be satisfied? It’s simple. I’ll be satisfied if you shut up.”“You…” Karen was exasperated. When she was about to drive Madeline out, she saw a car stopping at the entrance.Seeing Felicity getting out of the car, she was startled. She turned her head and looked at Madeline’s face again.The two faces were so similar!Madeline had also noticed Felicity. She looked at that face suspiciously and could not help but feel strange.‘Is there really someone in this world who would look so much like me?’“Who are you?” Karen pointed at Felicity and asked, looking closely at this face that was very similar to Madeline’s.Felicity glanced at Madeline and showed a bright smile. “Hi Aunty, I’m Jeremy's girlfriend, Felicity Walker.”“What? Jeremy’s girlfriend?” Karen’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Felicity’s face with some disgust. However, after thinking about Madeline, Karen’s face immediately changed. “It turns out you’
Madeline’s tone suddenly became serious.Jeremy seemed surprised, but the darkness in front of him prevented him from capturing Madeline’s expression at that moment. He could not even guess why Madeline was looking for him.“My car is just at the front. Jeremy, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”Her proactive invitation made Jeremy’s heart beat faster.However, he smiled and refused. “No, Miss Montgomery. I have something else to do.”Madeline glanced at Felicity who was waiting at the side. “It’s alright. You can go out with your girlfriend first. We’ll make an appointment again.”Girlfriend?Jeremy then came to understand. He felt a pain in his heart.‘Jeremy, why are you disappointed?‘Didn’t you want her to misunderstand?’He mocked himself silently but still gave Madeline a warm smile. “Please help yourself, Miss Montgomery.”He got into Felicity’s car after he said that. He had behaved nonchalantly from beginning till the end, but only he knew how much he cared.
“Hey beautiful, why don’t you play with the three of us? We won’t treat you badly.”The hooligans said frivolous things while eyeing lecherously at Madeline’s face and body.Madeline swept her glance at the three men in disgust. Her gaze was sharp and cold. “Get out of the way.”The beach was vast and empty. Jeremy, who had been sitting still, unexpectedly heard Madeline’s voice.He turned his face to listen carefully, but he heard the vulgar voices of several men instead.“What an attitude!”“We happen to like this kind of beauty with an attitude!”“Come on, we’ll make you very happy!”Madeline cast a cold gaze. “Don’t touch me. Go away.”However, the more Madeline resisted, the more excited the three drunken men became.“Linnie?” Jeremy was now certain that it was really Madeline’s voice.He did not expect that Madeline would be nearby and that three rascals were now harassing her.His gaze sank as he got up hurriedly. He was running toward the source of the sound in stri
How could Jeremy tolerate a man using such vulgar and frivolous words about Madeline's body? His eyes sank, and his words were like ice."Although you guys have simple minds and simple limbs, you have good vision. She’s indeed my wife."His voice fell, and with his sensitive hearing, he knocked the three hooligans to the ground with thunderous force.“Ow, ow!” The b*stard named Nate yelled, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.Jeremy retracted his hand and once again embraced Madeline in his arms, spreading wings of shelter over her.The rain gradually got heavier, but Madeline felt a warm current passing from Jeremy’s body to hers. This warmth made her feel inexplicably at ease.Although blinded, Jeremy's eyes were still sharp and were dyed with a breathtaking vibe."If you don't want to die, apologize to my wife immediately."His commanding tone made the three hooligans tremble.When the one named Walter was about to apologize, one of them suddenly realized that Jeremy
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
