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
Madeline’s abdomen crashed against the corner of the coffee table as she fell onto the floor and shivered as the pain stabbed into her and spread throughout her body in waves. Climbing back onto her feet with difficulty, she was slapped again by Mrs. Whitman before she could even stabilize herself. “You wicked woman! I’ll make your life a living hell if anything happens to my grandson!” Mrs. Whitman warned harshly, before pushing Madeline again. Already weak on her feet, Madeline found herself falling to the floor again as Mrs. Whitman pushed. This time it was her head that knocked against the coffee table. Her forehead was cut on impact and blood began to leak from her wound. Black spots appeared in her vision and her mind buzzed. “My heart hurts, Jeremy! Why does Madeline have to come after me all the time?” Meredith began to wail and complain. Jeremy’s threatening and terrifying gaze swept over Madeline again before he turned around to carry a pale Jackson. “Don’t worry,
With heavy steps, she turned to leave only to have Jeremy’s voice ring out suddenly from behind. “A woman just donated her blood to my son? Which one?” “Huh? Oh, that one.” Hearing the nurse’s reply, Madeline hid herself in the emergency exit. She was afraid that Jeremy would find it disgusting to know that it was her blood, but saving Jackson took priority. Madeline hid in the corner, clenching her jaw and crouching as she saw Jeremy’s shadow pass in front of her. Her entire body ached and the blood donation had left her shivering from the cold. Curling into herself by the corner, she watched Jeremy’s figure leave and vanish from sight, just as Madeline’s consciousness began to give. It was already the following day when she woke. Her legs cramping from her position as she stood with a hand braced on the wall. The pain in her body was still present and the wound on her forehead seared. Supporting her weight on the wall, she found Meredith on the phone, approaching the
Meredith threw herself into Jeremy's arms in terror, vividly creating the image of the victim.She had played the same old trick but still, he believed it without suspicion.Everyone had cast their disdainful and doubtful gazes on Madeline. Madeline had long been accustomed to these looks, but she still could not get used to the murderous and cold look Jeremy was giving her.In her mind, it was a face that she loved deeply. Yet, it no longer held the gentleness it once had.At this moment, as Jeremy was holding Meredith, his cold, blade-like eyes pierced Madeline,."Ma. De. Line!"He gritted his teeth as he spat out these three syllables, each with an engulfing force!Madeline felt a chill travel from the soles of her feet through her whole body. It was horrifying.Meredith who at this time was leaning into Jeremy’s arms was crying nonstop. “Jeremy, how could Madeline be so cruel? She told me that she herself had been pregnant with a child, but the child had died during her impri
Madeline was forced to shut her mouth. She glanced out the window. The sky was overcast as if it was going to rain.Looking at the sections of road that seemed to be gradually familiar, Madeline's nerves slowly tightened.The car stopped. Jeremy got out of the car freely while Madeline was dragged out of the car.Looking at the surrounding environment, Madeline’s eyes widen in disbelief."Jeremy, why did you bring me here!"She asked facing Jeremy's back, but the man ignored her.Madeline had been dragged to the grave she had built for her grandfather and the dead child. She no longer had the strength to stand, and the bodyguard had pushed her toward the grave.Madeline fell to the ground, clutching where the tumor was. She took a deep breath, enduring the pain, and then she raised her eyes.Jeremy stood in front of her, noble and cold, his aura was inviolable and cold."Why, here?" Madeline asked, gritting her teeth, her vision was being gradually blurred by the fog.Jeremy l
Madeline snapped instantly like a puppet without strings, losing all consciousness.Her world seemed to have turned dark all of a sudden and the intense pain like her skin was peeling swallowed her consciousness entirely."No!"She desperately rushed towards the ashes that were gradually washed away by snow and rain.Madeline cried sorrowfully, her trembling hands desperately rubbing against the uneven ground as she tried to collect the remaining ashes.However, the ashes were gradually stained red from the blood flowing out of her palms, and then it melted away in the rain and snow.Just like that, her only glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.She cried and laughed miserably, her red and wet eyes staring at Jeremy.She did not recognize him anymore.No, she never knew him.Madeline gritted her teeth and looked at the unwavering man, her eyes were extremely sharp."Jeremy, you will regret this!"Seeing Madeline's hateful gaze at this moment, Jeremy chuckled coldly.
Hearing every word uttered from Madeline's lips, Jeremy frowned, his heartbeat becoming very irregular all of a sudden."Jeremy, if you don't kill me today, I will definitely kill you and avenge my child."Her clear eyes were as decisive as before.Jeremy smiled nonchalantly. "I'll be waiting."He stood up as he said it and then left just like that.After watching that black figure disappearing gradually from her gaze, Madeline instantly seemed to have been drained of all her strength and blood as she leaned limply on her grandfather's urn.Warm tears once again overflowing but her heart was already numbed with pain.However, it was not over as Meredith had suddenly appeared.Meredith was holding a fruit knife when she saw Madeline lying on the ground while holding onto the urn. Meredith walked toward Madeline and then crouched down, reaching out to pull up her short hair."Tsk tsk, I told you not to go against me. Are you afraid now?"Madeline sneered, no longer wanting to w
