Chapter 894

Author: Sixteenth Child
Sure, one million dollars was alluring, but what use was money if they were not alive to enjoy it?

With that in mind, everyone ran.

Felipe was left to kneel painfully on one knee as he stared despairingly at the remnants of Cathy’s ashes.

He suddenly felt limp all over. Only after looking down did he realize that his shoulder had been shot and blood was gushing from the wound.

He wanted to stand, but his eyelids grew heavy and he fell in the rain with a thud.

He raised a bloodied hand to cradle the urn close to himself.

“Cathy…” he called out softly. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a vague figure with an umbrella approached him before his eyes through the rain.

His thin lips parted as he stared at the approaching figure. “Cathy…”

Rain fell throughout the night.

It was bright and sunny when Felipe woke up blearily. The wounds on his body were aching in protest, but he realized that they had been cleaned and dressed.

Looking around, he found himself in an unfamili

    Jeremy pressed on as his expression darkened. The receptionist stammered, “The man said, every rose for Mrs. Whitman represented his—”“His feelings.” A man’s voice sounded from afar. “Aren’t your hiring qualifications a little too low, Jeremy? How could you have a stuttering receptionist?”Jeremy was already pissed to know that a man had come to send Madeline roses.Yet now when he heard the arrogant voice, the flames of fury within him quelled instead.Madeline turned around to see Fabian walking toward them carefreely with his hands in his pockets. His silver locks were grandiose and eye-catching. “Are you trying to provoke me by sending this to my wife, Fabian?” Jeremy asked teasingly.“Don’t be so quick to get jealous, President Whitman. Roses don’t always have to mean that way,” Fabian replied meaningfully.Madeline glanced at the bouquet and counted there to be a total of 30 flowers.She smiled faintly. “30 roses. Young Master Fabian, is it in remembrance of our encou

    Seeing him close to exploding, Madeline accepted the apology and sent the delivery boy away.“I’m alright. Don’t worry, relax.”Madeline comforted the man.However, Jeremy remained staring heavily at Madeline with a solemn look in the corner of his eyes.“Of course, I’ll be worried. I can’t bear to see you hurt at all, not even a scratch.”Fabian third-wheeled by the side.He was about to ask how Lillian was doing when a woman walked over.She had a grey bob and was dressed in clothes that hugged her seductive figure. Walking over, she gave a friendly smile and introduced herself.“Hello, I’m Lana Johnson, Fabian’s elder sister.”It turned out Fabian had an older sister as well.Neither Jeremy nor Madeline wanted to be too close to the Johnson family, so the man wrapped his arms around Madeline and turned.“The Whitman boys are just more alluring than the other.”Lana quirked her red lips with interest as she stared with a joyful smile in the direction Jeremy and Madeline l

    Jeremy was no stranger to being admired, but it was his first time meeting someone as open with her affections as Lana.Not to mention that her going on her tiptoes to kiss him was evidently done for Madeline to see.However, Jeremy had not let Lana touch him. Pushing her away, he stated coldly, “Leave me alone.”He warned before turning to walk toward Madeline. Madeline seemed to have knocked into a friend, so she did not see Lana trying to kiss Jeremy.Jeremy let out a breath of relief.He did not want Madeline to misunderstand anything.Madeline’s conversation came to an end, and she turned around to see Jeremy approaching her with her purse and a warm smile. “I’m suddenly craving Spanish food, Linnie. Let’s eat somewhere else.”Madeline found his sudden change in decision weird.Peering subtly at Lana who was not too far away, she reached out to link her arm with Jeremy’s. “Let’s go.”After leaving the restaurant, Madeline asked Jeremy, “Did Lana say something? You could

    He picked up the phone and heard Lana’s pretentious voice. “Did you receive the Queen of the Night, Mr. Whitman? I’m sure you understand why I sent them.”“For the last time, Lana Johnson, do not disturb me again. I have no interest, nor will I have any in the future, for women like you.”Lana merely scoffed as her tone grew more smitten. “You’ll never know if you’re interested until you try. I hear that your wife’s four months pregnant, Mr. Whitman.”This woman’s actions and speech were too unbridled. It was sickening.Not wanting to waste his saliva on this woman, he hung up and blocked Lana’s number before he went to prepare for Madeline’s perfume testing that weekend.However, he had not expected Lana to appear again.Dressed seductively, Lana gave off a unique scent—one that Madeline could smell the moment she approached her.The smell itself was good, yet Madeline felt it muddling her mind inexplicably.Although she did not know how Lana got her hands on an invitation, Ma

    Jeremy did not want to be affected by this woman in any way, so he entered the banquet hall immediately without turning back.After getting Madeline’s thermos cup from Eloise, Jeremy walked back the same way, though he did not expect Lana to still be waiting at the same place.Jeremy ignored her existence and walked straight ahead.Lana stared at the oncoming Jeremy with ambiguous and powerful eyes. As he walked by, she raised the small, transparent bag in her hand."Mr. Whitman, you should recognize what this is, right? Isn’t this the medicine your wife has been taking recently?"Jeremy was not interested in knowing anything that had to do with Lana, but his sight was drawn to the items in the small, transparent bag.The little pink pill was clearly the medicine Madeline had just consumed.According to Adam, this was a drug newly developed by his team that was highly effective in suppressing tumors. It had clinical trial support and the ingredients were safe.However, this med

    He came to the presidential suite of the hotel. The door opened and Lana, wearing a translucent nightdress with garters, appeared in front of Jeremy. The large tattoo on her chest was eye-catching.The man looked away calmly, showing no interest in looking at her body. He took out the pills Lana had given him yesterday from his pocket."Now tell me how you found out that my wife is taking this medicine."Lana leaned against the door. "Should I speak here? Are you not afraid of being photographed? You being with me who’s dressed like this, just chatting here... If your wife sees this, I’m afraid there would be trouble."Although Jeremy was resistant, he went in to find out the truth and for the sake of Madeline’s health.As soon as he entered, he smelled that unique and western fragrance once again. The lights in the room were also dimmed.Jeremy knew Lana's purpose, but he did not want to deal with it, so he opened his mouth and said straightforwardly, “Now you can tell me."Lan

    Madeline looked up and saw Jeremy walking in with a trace of fatigue between his pretty eyebrows.Seeing Madeline sitting on the bed, Jeremy relaxed his eyebrows and smiled warmly. "Linnie, did I wake you?"Madeline shook her head and put down her phone. "Why didn't you come back last night?"Although Jeremy did not want to lie to Madeline, he also did not want Madeline to misunderstand anything."The client's case was a bit urgent and I couldn’t leave. I'm sorry I made you worry." Jeremy walked to the bed and kissed Madeline's eyebrows.When he approached her, Madeline noticed a scent on Jeremy's body that did not belong to him.She had a sensitive sense of smile, and if she remembered correctly, this unique fragrance was the same as Lana's perfume.After having gone through so much with Jeremy, Madeline did not think the man would do anything to betray her. Out of trust, Madeline did not question him. She got up and went to make breakfast for the two children as usual.After

    "I will have my secretary follow up with you on the contract if there’s nothing else."After she said this, she smiled and pulled on Jeremy's arm."Hubby, let's head upstairs."“Alright." Jeremy let Madeline walk them toward the elevator as she pulled on his arm. However, he was not calm. Lana looked at the backs of Madeline and Jeremy. She heard the people around whispering about her. She took a slender vape out of her bag and took a puff, exhaling the white smoke skillfully."Eveline, the young lady of the Montgomeries." She curled her lips and smiled before turning to leave.In the elevator, the atmosphere at the moment was heavy with a deafening silenceJeremy carefully looked at Madeline's calm but cold face."Linnie, last night—""You weren’t negotiating business with anyone last night. You went to meet Lana. You stayed together all night?" Madeline immediately questioned while looking at the silent man. "She likes you?"Jeremy could not deny that Lana had bad though

    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
