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
Ryan's concerned voice rang in her ears, and Madeline breathed out a sigh of relief. She quickly thanked him. "Fortunately I had Mr. Jones. Thank you for your help."When the waiter saw this scene, he quickly came over to apologize and offered to give Madeline a waiver on her bill.Madeline did not pursue the matter further. She went back to the company after she thanked Ryan.After returning home, Madeline began designing the wedding ring seriously.Then on the next day, she went to Whitman Manor early in the morning.In a blink of an eye, Jeremy had been gone for a month and today was the one-month anniversary of his death.The moment Madeline stepped in through the door, however, Karen then said to her strangely, "Oh, it seems that you remember what day it is today? You’re actually putting on quite the comprehensive act for this affectionate scene."Many relatives and friends were currently offering their respects to Jeremy, and there was even a funeral conductor present.Up
Through the car window, Madeline saw the face that she had been dreaming of.She hurriedly lowered the window and stared blankly at the man sitting in the passenger seat of the car next door.Through the curtain of rain, the outline of the man's resolute and graceful profile fell into her sight.Madeline stared incredulously while her heartbeat gradually became faster. "Jeremy..." she softly called out, and the man in the car turned his face toward her.However, the light had turned to green at this moment and the car drove away right past her with a swish.It seemed that what happened at that instant was merely an illusion.Madeline was in a daze until a honking sound came from behind, urging her to move. Only then did she step on the accelerator, but the car from just now was already nowhere to be found. She did not remember the license plate number of the car either.Madeline immediately investigated the incident through her connections, but nothing was found.‘Jeremy, is it
