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
When Madeline said that, the expressions of those colleagues, including Elizabeth, changed. They were looking at Madeline as if they were looking at something unusual."This woman, aren’t you too vicious!" Several female colleagues said contemptuously."What kind of bad luck does Meredith have to encounter such a nutjob. She’s always targeting her everywhere.""Exactly. Not only you’ve stolen someone else’s boyfriend, you still went and troubled Meredith, even saying that you’d want to kill her. That’s really sick!""We should stay away from her, lest she goes crazy and implicates us."Madeline sat in her seat silently, listening to the words being deliberately said to her.She did not speak and just stood up.Seeing her move, the female colleagues who had been speaking the truths and lies about her hurriedly ran away, for fear of what Madeline would do to them.Madeline found the scene funny. Then, she headed out.She went to Felipe and seeing that Madeline had come, Felipe g
Madeline was trembling in the wind and her blood seemed to be frozen.She returned to her residence hurriedly, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and moved away overnight.She no longer had the courage to face this man who was more terrifying than the devil. She was not afraid of death, but she was really afraid of the cruel methods he has shown time and time again. She never wanted to see him treat the people she loved cruelly in front of her again.Looking at herself in the mirror, Madeline touched the faint, tingling scar and closed her eyes.Jeremy, how could loving you brought such a result.........As the new year approaches, many companies would hold annual meetings at this time.Although Felipe had insisted that Madeline be his plus one to attend the annual meeting, Madeline still refused in the end.After the dinner party, Madeline went to a karaoke bar with some people from the department.The room was large and everyone had gathered together to drink and pla
Madeline's hand shook violently and the key in her hand dropped on her feet with a clang.The wounds in and out of her body seemed to have suddenly “woken up” at this moment and the insurmountable skin cutting pain once again invaded her entire body. It hurt so much that she was losing grip on her mind and only the image of him smashing the urn with the ashes of their child by how own hands the other day was left in her mind.The voice-controlled lights went out and Madeline's world had also seemed to have suddenly gone dark."Madeline, I'm talking to you,” came Jeremy's domineering voice coldly.Madeline shuddered reflexively. When Jeremy grabbed her wrist, she looked like a hedgehog that had been stripped of its spines. After bouncing off in horror, she suddenly knelt down by his feet, smashing her head desperately."Mr. Whitman, it's my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have fallen in love with you and I shouldn't provoke Meredith!"Jeremy, I know I was wrong, please don't
She ran into the street without turning back. A piece of glacier had melted in her heart and black icy water had flooded her world.She did not have the courage to face Jeremy again. His cruel methods of time and time again had made it so that her already devastated body and mind were no longer able to bear it.At this moment, she just wanted to escape.Even wanting to escape forever.Suddenly, fine rain floated down the sky.Madeline ran toward the zebra crossing in a daze, wanting to go over to the opposite street. A car was speeding in her direction. It was not slowing down.Sensing the coming bright car lights, Madeline suddenly stopped and stood motionless in the middle of the zebra crossing.Looking at this bustling street and watching the street lights lining it, she burst into tears.If she could, she really wanted to restart her life...Madeline closed her eyes and a harsh horn sounded out. Right at this critical moment, Madeline suddenly felt a strong and powerful ar
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
