“Move!” Madeline’s tone was cold and sharp. Felicity was stunned for two seconds by Madeline’s aura, and by the time she snapped back to reality, she quickly went to hold Madeline back. “Stand there, Eveline…” Madeline caught her arm back, interrupting Felicity. She glared coldly at her. “I’m warning you, do not stand in my way.” “...” Stunned by Madeline’s aura and with the other flinging her hand, Felicity staggered before falling onto the floor. Madeline paid Felicity no attention and ran toward the door. Pulling open the gates, she found a limited edition black car parked right in front. Felipe alighted the car, his expression gentle and soft. However, his eyes no longer held the softness they once did. “You don’t need to go to the scene. It’s already too late.” He walked toward Madeline. “Jeremy is already dead.” Madeline’s heart felt as if it was ripped to shreds, and her eyes reddened as she mocked lightly. “You’re elated, aren’t you? Felipe Whitman, he’s your
Shocked, Madeline thought that she was hallucinating. She quickly wiped away her tears and looked at the entrance of the hotel again with wide eyes, but there was not a familiar face in the crowd before her. The vision felt real, so Madeline immediately crossed the zebra-crossing and ran toward the spot Jeremy had appeared moments ago. Looking around, she found nothing. Battered by the chilling wind around her, Madeline felt her heart turn cold again. Among the boisterous crowd, she felt alone. ‘All I ever wished for during the years of suffering and pain is for us to love simply, Jeremy. It’s such a small wish, yet why can’t it be fulfilled? ‘Are we truly not meant to be?’Madeline returned dazedly to Glendale, back to their marital villa. Madeline stood there blankly for a moment before she finally stepped inside. Karen’s face darkened when she set her eyes on Madeline. She hated Madeline with every bone in her body, especially after she learned from Felicity and Yvo
‘I still love you even after I’ve gotten my revenge.’Madeline had no idea when she fell asleep, but the sky was already dark when she woke. She left the villa and made her way to Montgomery Manor. Eloise and Sean were elated at her return. However, they could not help but feel worried when they took in Madeline’s downcasted expression. “Are you still hurting due to what happened with Lillian, Eveline?” Madeline felt her heart clench. “Jeremy’s dead.” “Wh-What? Jeremy’s dead?” Eloise and Sean could not believe their ears. “He flew back a few days ago, but his flight crashed.” “His flight crashed? How could that be? There wasn't any news of the like.” Eloise and Sean were confused. Madeline halted. “There wasn’t?” “Not at all. We didn’t hear about any accidents pertaining to any airlines as well.” Sean confirmed. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Eveline?” Madeline felt her heart skip a beat as she pulled out her phone to check for relevant news only to find nothin
Madeline’s throat clamped as she stared at the lean and jaded figure. “Jeremy?” Madeline stared at the features in shock, the heavy feeling in her chest dissipating. There was surprise in Jeremy’s eyes as well when he looked back at her. “You’re really alright, Jeremy!” Madeline ran toward him, her hands reaching out to hold his before she realized. Feeling the warmth of his hands, Madeline relaxed. At that moment, Madeline knew that there would not be anything more important than Jeremy being alive and well. Jeremy stared at Madeline who was clutching his hands excitedly. Beautiful as her smiling appearance was, the woman had tears in her eyes. “You look a lot like the person I like, miss,” he spoke, the baritone of his voice as magnetic and alluring as she had remembered. Madeline thought that Jeremy was joking with her when he slowly removed his hands from her grasp. He asked faintly, “Do you recognize me?” “...” Madeline was confused by Jeremy’s question. Was he
Felicity did not have the time to respond when Jeremy’s magnetic voice drifted from inside. “Who’s out there?” Felicity’s expression immediately changed into a tired and frustrated one. “Why are you here again, Miss Montgomery? I’ve told you multiple times before that I’m the person Jeremy loves. It’s because we look similar that Jeremy took a liking to you as my replacement. Jeremy and I are back together now, so would you kindly please stop bothering us?” Madeline was certain that Felicity was acting at that point. She wished to rip apart the woman’s mask when Jeremy suddenly appeared in her line of vision. Jeremy stared calmly at Madeline with his deep and analyzing peach blossom eyes before averting his gaze to look at Felicity as he spoke in a warm tone, “Pack your things quickly. Our flight back to Glendale is in three hours.” “Alright.” Felicity nodded, the provoking tint in her smile deepening. Madeline could not believe her eyes as she watched Jeremy ignore her. He e
Madeline’s eyes shone with hope at Jeremy’s response. “You remember me, Jeremy? Then why did you—” “Felicity told me that you’re one of my crazy fans who did plastic surgery to look like Felicity just to get my attention.” Madeline initially thought that Jeremy only said such words before to get closer to Felicity so that he could investigate the truth of her identity. She thought that he was just pretending that he did not recognize her, but his reply proved her wrong. Madeline had no other option but to accept such was the fact as she stared into Jeremy’s cold eyes. The Jeremy before her no longer recognized her. “I hope you’ll be more rational, miss. Feelings are not something to be forced. Even if you’ve done plastic surgery to look like Felicity, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re not the person I love,” Jeremy added.Letting go of Madeline’s hand, he turned and left without looking back. His cold rejection was a replica of how he used to be. Staring at his retrea
She had wished countless times over the past many years that she would get to hug this man in such a way and to feel the warmth of a sincere hug from this man. She had never expected this moment to come so late. This was their first and perhaps their last as well. “Jeremy,” she called out his name in an unusually calm manner. The man averted his deep peach blossom eyes to meet her, the long alluring slits staring into her flawless appearance that was mere inches away from his. Her glossy eyes were mesmerizing. “It’s okay, it’ll be alright soon. It’s just turbulence.” He comforted softly. Then, he found his own behavior weird. After all, in such a situation, should his priority not be to protect Felicity? Why did he find it so difficult to let go of the girl in his arms and let her face the danger herself? Within him came a persistent voice reminding and telling him to protect Madeline, to ensure that nothing would happen to Madeline. Madeline smiled. Looking at his fa
How could it be? How could Jeremy be hugging Madeline? Had he already broken out of the hypnosis? That was impossible! Frantic, Meredith shouted anxiously, “Why are you here, Jeremy? Why are you hugging this woman? Did you mistake her for me again?” Jeremy snapped back to reality and turned to look at Madeline. Two seconds later, he let go. Meredith immediately ran to pull Jeremy away as she glared at Madeline with animosity. “Please mind your behavior, Miss Montgomery. Stop trying to seduce my fiancé. You’re still a fake even if you’ve gotten plastic surgery to look like me. Jeremy won’t fall for it!” Regaining her footing, Madeline gave her an elegant smile. “You’re accusing me of plastic surgery? That I changed my looks to replicate yours so that I could seduce Jeremy?” “Are you finally admitting it now, Miss Montgomery?” Meredith fired back. Madeline remained unfazed. “If you’re so certain, Miss Walker, then how about we do it this way. We look too similar, so one o
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
