Madeline was caught unprepared. She reached over to pull out some tissues to soak up the blood. She was frantic. She did not know why she vomited blood, however, she did not want to let Jeremy see this.“Madeline! I don’t care if you don’t want to eat, but why did you tarnish my food?”Mrs. Whitman did not notice that there was blood in the curry Madeline vomited out. She pointed at Madeline and screeched angrily.“Tell me before you come here next time so that I can get away from you! I don’t want to see you ever again!”“Don’t be mad, Mrs. Whitman.” Meredith ran over quickly to comfort her. However, she did not forget to look back at Madeline and smirked at her.She saw clearly that Madeline was throwing up blood.She knew very well that Madeline could not operate on her tumor anymore. Her lifespan would be shortened if she ate such triggering food now.If Madeline died, then her chance to be the legally wedded wife would be here.“Are you trying to gross me out?” Jeremy roar
It was freezing.It was so cold that Madeline’s heart froze instantly.However, she was hoping that it would get colder. It would be great if it was so cold that it numbed her entire body.That was she would not have to feel pain anymore, be it her body, or her heart.Jeremy saw that Madeline was not struggling at all. So, he stopped what he was doing and yanked Madeline up as she trembled.He saw that her face was as white as snow and there was no color on her face. She looked like a puppet that had its blood drained from its body. What was left was only its empty shell.Jeremy suddenly felt scared. “Madeline, Madeline…”He was calling her name but she did not respond.“Madeline, don’t play dead! I’m asking you to talk!” Jeremy’s heart was beating so fast he felt as if it was in overload. A fear that he had never felt before started taking over him.When he saw that Madeline was still not reacting, he carried her and placed her on the bed.He hurried over to take some clean
After she said that, it felt as if the air around them had frozen over.Jeremy towered over the woman beneath him. “What did you say? Say it again.”“Us. Divorce.” Madeline repeated without hesitation. Those two words were firm and clear.The air became silent again. After a few seconds, Madeline heard Jeremy snorted. His eyes looked like they belonged to Satan. They were dark and they looked like they were about to devour her.“Divorce? Don’t even think about it!”Those icy and bone-piercing words escaped from his seductive lips.“Weren’t you so desperate to become my woman? I’ll fulfill your wish.”Madeline could feel herself breaking down while looking at his sinister smile.“I don’t need you to fulfill my wish! Jeremy Whitman, I want to divorce you!”“In your dreams.” Jeremy rejected her with no mercy. Then, he pinched Madeline’s jaw. “You want to divorce me just because you have another man? Madeline, how shameless can you be?”‘Madeline, how shameless can you be?’His
“You don’t look too well.”When Madeline heard Felipe say that, she touched her face awkwardly.She was unwell. Her body was getting worse and worse so of course, she would not look too healthy.“Are you okay?” He asked considerately.“Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Whitman. I’m fine.”Madeline thanked him quickly before getting up.She remembered how she got Felipe involved because of Jeremy and she felt very apologetic.“You can stop calling me Mr. Whitman when there’s no one around.”Madeline hesitated and then she said, “I’ll get going now, uncle.”“Actually, I’m only older than Jeremy by three years. I don’t like being called uncle, so you can just call me by my name.”Madeline was taken aback. Then, she nodded. “Then I’ll get back to work, Mr. Whitman.”Felipe looked at Madeline and smiled. “Go on.”…Madeline focused on her work. She could only forget about the things and people that made her unhappy this way.Their one-month long project was already halfway
Jeremy said as he sat down. Meredith tugged at him pretentiously.“Jeremy, I don’t think this is a good idea. Maddie doesn’t look too pleased.”Madeline wanted so badly to throw her glass of juice on Meredith’s face. She wanted to ask her which one of her f*cking eyes saw that she was not pleased about this?Amid the silence, Madeline heard Jeremy saying calmly, “Who is she to deny us?”Hehe.Yeah, who is she?She had always been nothing to him.When Meredith saw that Madeline did not dare to say anything, she was extremely pleased.She put down her purse and sat down next to Madeline. However, she did not expect Jeremy to sit down next to Madeline.Meredith was taken aback, on the other hand, Madeline was surprised as well.However, based on their identities, there was nothing wrong with Jeremy sitting next to her.Despite feeling unhappy about this, Meredith did not dare to make a fuss. So, she could only sit next to Felipe.After she sat down, Meredith felt that this was
“I’ll send you back.” “...” Madeline was shocked. While surprise was blown wide on Meredith’s features and she began to plead coquettishly. “But you promised to go shopping with me, Jeremy.” “You can wait for me here first.” Jeremy walked over to Madeline without even sparing Meredith a glance. “Let’s go.” “It’s alright. I can go back myself.” Madeline quickly rejected him. She had no idea what Jeremy was playing at, but she did not like the atmosphere it came with. “Is there someone else you’d prefer to send you back, if not this husband of yours? Perhaps another Mr. Whitman?” Jeremy’s gaze bored into her, the words left unsaid reaching her anyway. Not wanting to fight anymore, Madeline stopped protesting and let Jeremy send her back. Madeline could not help the joy then ran through her when she turned to find Meredith’s indignantly puffed cheeks about to explode. Jeremy took the guise of sending her back as an opportunity to warn Madeline. “Don’t let me see you gett
Madeline felt her racing heart calm immediately and the heat leave, her blood cold in her veins. Haha. To think that she had actually thought that he was jealous. What ludicrousness. When it was merely just him being a possessive alpha male, asserting his dominance. She was merely a prop in his play. Madeline smiled mirthlessly, as she felt Jeremy approach from behind. “I shall leave my wife in your hands, Uncle Felipe. Thank you in advance for looking after her,” He thanked Felipe. Felipe smiled gentlemanly. “Of course.” … While Madeline had not bought another scarf, she did buy a band-aid to cover up the red mark Jeremy left on her. She sat down and began to work. Not long after, she began to receive angry texts from numerous unknown numbers. All of them scolding her about how shameless she was to seduce Jeremy. It was almost too easy to guess who the culprit behind was when no one else but Meredith would send her such texts. To warrant such a reaction from Mere
Arrogantly, Meredith lifted her head to glare at Madeline. Her anger must have been driven by the humiliation of Jeremy’s actions this afternoon. Madeline chuckled lightly. “Then why are you angry if you’re so sure that he only kissed me for fun? Why spend so much money to have people send me those texts?” “You…” Words formed lumps at Meredith’s throat, unable to be said. It dawned on Madeline. “That’s why you had the Whitman servants call me? What did you call me here for?” “Important business obviously.” Meredith’s smile turned sinister as she suddenly grabbed Madeline by her wrist, her eyes harsh and fierce. “Why won’t you get lost already, Madeline? How many times must I remind you that Jeremy is mine? You should know by now what happens when you steal my man.“Did you forget why you went to prison? Did you forget how Jeremy killed the illegitimate child in your stomach to console me? Did you forget how your mentally ill grandfather died?” Meredith’s smile grew demonic b
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
