Ken helplessly looked at Jeremy who had lost consciousness. He could only try his best to live up to Jeremy’s entrustment and carried Lillian and Jackson onto the life raft first, then he returned to the yacht to look for Madeline.However, Madeline was hugging Jeremy and did not want to let go. Ken had no choice but to forcefully pull Madeline away.“Don’t pull me! If you guys want to go, just go! I must accompany him!” Madeline roared in a broken voice, not wanting to let go.“Madam, have you forgotten about Young Lady Lillian and Young Master Jack?” Ken persuaded, saying, “They can’t lose both their father and mother.”Madeline was stupefied, as if just remembering the two children.“Hurry up, the yacht is really about to explode. You must live well and avenge Mr. Whitman.”Avenge.Madeline looked at Jeremy who was lifeless with tearful eyes. She bowed her head and kissed him deeply.“Jeremy, I love you too, you hear me?”She had no other choice but to abandon him in the ya
A huge hole seemed to have broken through Madeline’s heart. It was clearly summer, but a chilly winter-like wind had poured into her body.Madeline felt very cold.She also felt that everything was gray in front of her eyes.At this time, Ken rushed in from the entrance with a solemn expression. Seeing that Madeline was already awake, he walked over. “The salvage team has returned. There are some things that I would like to ask Madam to head to the police station to confirm.”Madeline endured her grief. She nodded and went with Ken. A steady stream of verbal abuse from Karen could be heard from behind.Madeline came to the police station, but she could only see scraps of messy and shredded clothes. Before they had set off to sea, he was wearing a white tee, but now it was stained red with blood.Madeline gently picked up a piece of the red-dyed cloth with trembling fingers, her tears flowing silently from her eyes.“Jeremy.”She did not have the courage to continue looking. He
The once noble, graceful gentleman was now so shabby that his beard was not even shaved.Only a touch of heroism remained between his brows that decorated his handsome face.He walked over slowly and saw the mourning hall set up by the Whitman family for Jeremy. His smile gradually spread on his lips.“Jeremy, it seems that you can’t escape the fate of going to hell after all.”“Felipe! You and this woman teamed up to kill my son, right?!” Karen put the blame on Madeline without distinguishing between right and wrong.Felipe sneered nonchalantly and walked in.Madeline stopped him, her gaze looking sharp. “Felipe, you killed Cathy. You killed the girl who cared for you for more than ten years and had genuine affection for you. The one who really should go to hell is you!”Felipe looked at Madeline and admitted it with a smile. “You’re right, I killed Cathy. I was the one who ordered someone to fire a shot at the woman who loved me the most and killed her.”Knowing that this was
Old Master Whitman vigorously ordered Felipe to stop.He looked at Madeline with relief and pulled her behind him."Grandpa, no.""Don't worry." Old Master Whitman comforted Madeline, but he looked indifferently at the man who had already been blinded by hatred."Now that it has all come to this point, it seems that I have to tell you the truth of back then. Otherwise, you’ll only drown deeper and deeper in hatred."Hearing his words, Felipe's finger that was on the trigger loosened slightly.‘The truth back then?’Madeline was surprised. ‘Is there really another truth about the car accident back then? Was it not just a simple accident?’Karen was extremely shocked as well. "The truth? Was it really Old Master Whitman who—""Stop speaking nonsense!" Winston interrupted Karen quickly as she was talking and looked at Old Master Whitman curiously as well."What truth are you talking about? You’d better not be making an excuse just to lie to me." Although Felipe was eager to le
Felipe thought Old Master Whitman was trying to delay.He was not too short of time, however, so he walked to the front of the tablet and stretched out his hand. He really did obtain a memory card that was in a transparent bag from behind the tablet."This is the recording of your father's driving on the day of the accident. You will understand everything after you watch it."Felipe looked at the memory card blankly, feeling a little confused for a moment.He was in a daze for a bit before he instructed someone to bring him a laptop.After he put in the memory card, he turned the laptop on. Soon, he heard voices that he was once most familiar with ringing from the speaker..."Francis, don't be impulsive, we still have Felipe! Felipe can't live without us. Can't you be a little soberer?" That was Felipe's mother, and it sounded as if she was begging Felipe's father with a trembling voice."Sonya, I'm really in pain. This world gives me so much pain that I don't want to face it. S
Madeline’s fingertips that were gently stroking Jeremy’s photo paused abruptly.Although she had not seen anyone yet, a face that could make her feel abhorrent had already appeared in her mind."Tsk, aren’t you just so sad?" Lana's triumphant voice spread from far toward her. Madeline raised her cold beautiful eyes and stopped Lana from coming in. "Get out, you’re not welcome here."Lana folded her arms with a smile on her face "I’m a friend of Mr. Whitman, and now that he’s dead, it’s natural for me to come and pay my respects."She walked forward as she spoke, placing down the flowers she brought.Madeline held Lana’s wrist to prevent her from offering her flowers. "Lana, don’t you ever think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re from the Stygian Johnson Gang. “This isn’t F Country, nor the Stygian Johnson Gang’s territory. My husband doesn’t need a shameless woman like you paying your respects. Leave this place right now!"She snatched the flowers from Lana's
"The yacht shooting incident has nothing to do with you?" Madeline asked directly.Felipe shook his head. There was no more hostility or concealment in his eyes. "Cathy was right. For so many years, all I’ve done is to be jealous of Jeremy—jealous that he lived a better life than me and jealous that he had you by his side. But in fact..."He sneered sarcastically and glanced at the glass bottle that was hung around his neck. It held a small amount of Cathy's ashes."I’ve done everything I wanted to do, and it's now time to atone for my sins."Hearing this, Madeline felt a little weirded out. "Felipe, what are you planning to do?"Felipe only smiled and stroked the cold glass bottle. "Cathy knows what I plan to do."Madeline did not understand, but she could feel Felipe's deep regret and pain."I’ve transferred all the shares of Whitman Corporation to your name. The lawyer is handling it at the moment. Although I’m involved in illegal businesses, Whitman Corporation’s funds are a
Upon hearing this, Lana's eyes lit up immediately.She hurriedly got up and walked into the room.The man sitting on the bed was looking at the wounds on his body. When he suddenly heard someone barging in, he raised his eyebrows and looked toward the direction coldly.Lana looked at those charming eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up ambiguously."You’ve finally woken up."...Glendale.A month later, Madeline was still numbing her thoughts by working daily. She would force herself to stop thinking about sorrowful things.For the sake of the child in her belly and her lovely pair of children, she lived every day positively and optimistically.As she was still unable to accept the fact that Jeremy was no longer alive, she still had to face insomnia during the lonely nights.Madeline came to Whitman Corporation early Monday morning and sat in the seat that once belonged to Jeremy. She then proceeded to handle all kinds of complicated documents skillfully and swiftly.W
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
