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
Lana smiled coquettishly as she drew closer and closer to Jeremy, the cigarette butt between her fingers fluttering silently with white smoke.She looked at Jeremy's despondent appearance at the moment, feeling satisfied. She was about to take the opportunity to kiss him, but from her peripheral vision, she suddenly saw Madeline holding up her phone with the camera pointed at her as she slowly walked in."Why don’t you continue, Miss Johnson? Don’t you want to be famous? I'll help you," Madeline said with a slight smile, "I’ll post this video online in a moment so that people from all over the world can see how a vixen seduces married men."Hearing Madeline's clear voice, Jeremy seemingly recovered his thoughts. However, he felt a little fuzzy about what had happened just now.Lana nipped the cigarette butt as her enthusiasm dampened. Smiling disdainfully at Madeline, she said, "I was just kidding. Mrs. Whitman doesn't have to be so serious about it."“For such a joke, I would rat
...Perhaps it was due to the psychological effects that were brought about by this nightmare, so Madeline somehow felt a little discomfort in her stomach.She went to the hospital for an examination. Jeremy had to chair an important meeting, hence he could not accompany her.After the check-up, Madeline gave the test sheet to Adam who then read it carefully."Eveline, I'll prescribe another medicine for you. This medicine will not affect the fetus. It’s mainly used to stabilize your emotions. It’s enough for you to take one a day. You should not be working anymore in the near future so that you can get a good rest."Madeline knew that her mood as a pregnant woman would often fluctuate, and her dream last night was so vivid that she still remembered a little bit of it.She nodded, thanked Adam, and went back.When she had already left the room, a person leisurely walked out of the small room in Adam's office.Lana was smoking a cigarette, expelling clouds and mist. "It seems th
