Madeline looked at the smiling man in surprise. “Did you just say I saved you, Mr. Jones?”Ryan was taken aback when he heard that. Then, he nodded.“I don’t know if you remember this, though.” Ryan held a coin in between his fingers.Madeline shook her head in confusion. “No.”“So you’ve indeed forgotten about it.” Ryan chuckled in slight disappointment. When he was about to explain, Mrs. Jones walked in.Compared to her aggressive attitude that day, she looked much friendlier and approachable this time.“I heard about what happened to your house, Miss Montgomery. If you don’t have a place to go for the time being, you can stay in our guest room. I’m sorry for what happened before and I hope you don’t take it to heart.”Madeline placed the cup down and got out of bed. “Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Jones. It was just a misunderstanding, so I won’t take it to heart.”She looked at the time and noticed it was the next morning.“I need to go now. Thank you, Mr. Jones.”“You
The moment Lana heard that, she was taken aback because she thought she misheard her.However, Madeline’s gaze was sharp. She then pulled Lana back forcefully and kicked her on her right knee.Lana was unprepared. With a bend of her right leg, she was now kneeling on one knee in front of Madeline.No one expected Madeline to do this, and Lana was also dumbfounded.However, she soon became agitated. She lifted her head to stand up, but Madeline slapped her heavily across her face out of the blue.Lana was fuming. “Eveline, you—”When she was about to curse and warn her, Eveline grabbed her chin domineeringly. Her cold eyes were filled with flames of revenge that enveloped Lana tightly.“Apologize!” Madeline was glaring straight at her. Then, she took out a polaroid picture from her pocket. It was the photo she took of Eloise and Sean when they were alive. “Apologize to my parents!”When Lana saw the photo, she understood what Madeline was saying. However, she was the second-in-c
However, Madeline broke down after Jeremy did that. “Jeremy, what are you doing? Let go of me! I want this woman to atone for her crimes against my parents!”She struggled, and all of a sudden, the man pulled her domineeringly into his arms. “Linnie, don’t do this. I know you’re sad that Mom and Dad are gone, but this has nothing to do with Miss Johnson.”What?Madeline was taken aback. She looked at the man who was calling her ‘Linnie’ in such a gentle voice in front of her, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.However, Jeremy continued and held her closely, “Linnie, you’re extremely unstable now. I’ll take you home so that you can rest.”Lana and Naomi were suspicious when they saw Jeremy behaving this way.Had his memories come back?No.That was impossible.Lana then noticed Jeremy looking at her. “Miss Johnson, I’m so sorry. My wife only became so unstable because of the death of my in-laws. I hope you can forgive her for what she did just now.”Lana wanted to e
When he asked her this, Madeline was slightly taken aback.However, looking at those deep narrow eyes, Madeline did not have any expectations for him anymore. His eyes were also getting colder and colder.“Jeremy, from now on, I, Eveline Montgomery, will slowly get rid of you from my heart. You won’t be the person I love the most. On the contrary, you’ll be the person I despise the most!”Jeremy’s expression changed slightly after hearing her say that without hesitation. His arms around her became lifeless as well.Madeline escaped from his arms and took off the wedding ring in front of him.However, it was as if the ring had become smaller and she could not take it off no matter how hard she pulled.Madeline cried out and used all of her might to pull it off. She still tried her best to repeat the action of removing the ring even when her fingers had turned raw from the friction.Jeremy looked at Madeline who was in pain and felt something clenching at his heart.When he was a
After Ava said that, Madeline’s secretary knocked on the door. “Mrs. Whitman, there’s a young man with a bouquet of roses who says he wants to see you. He’s waiting outside right now.”“A young man? Roses?” Ava was puzzled. “Maddie, is he your admirer? Does he think that Jeremy is dead and that’s why he’s pursuing you now?”Madeline figured as much. As such, she asked Coco to reject the man.However, after a while, Madeline heard a familiar voice from outside of her office. “My lady, it’s been so long. Have you already forgotten about me?”When she heard that voice, she saw Fabian’s frivolous face appear in front of her.Ava was confused. “Maddie, who’s this?”“I’m Eveline’s close male friend,” Fabian said mischievously. Then, he lifted his eyebrow and walked over to Madeline.“Am I right?” he asked with a smile. Then, he noticed Madeline’s eyes were red and she looked as if she had just cried.Fabian’s smile disappeared as he became serious.“Eveline, are you upset because of
His eyes were glued on her, and his heart started racing all of a sudden.She was looking breathtakingly stunning in front of him right now.She had an icy aura around her, and there was no smile on her small face. However, the colder she was, the more charming she looked.Even though she did not dress up, it was evident that she did put on a little makeup.He could also see a red line around the ring finger on her left hand that was holding her clutch.It was the wound from when she removed the ring forcefully.Fabian brought her to the second floor. When they walked past Jeremy, Madeline pretended as if she did not see him and just breezed past him.Jeremy grabbed her thin arm with a look of sadness in his eyes. “Why are you here?”Madeline did not even look at him. “It’s none of your business,” she replied coldly and continued walking upstairs after she removed his hand from her.Jeremy was just left with emptiness in his hand while his heart started beating erratically.T
How could Lana agree to that? However, she was petrified when she saw Yorick’s dark eyes.She looked at Madeline and bit her lip. Then, she said reluctantly, “Eveline, you want me to apologize to you so desperately, huh? Alright, I’ll apologize to you!”“Wait.” Madeline stopped her.Lana was frustrated. “What else do you want?”“I told you I want you to kneel and apologize,” Madeline emphasized, her eyes looking stern.“You… Eveline, don’t win an inch and want a foot!” Lana was infuriated.However, Madeline’s expression remained unchanged. “What’s kneeling and apologizing compared to two lives?”“Yeah, it’s nothing!” Fabian chimed in next to Madeline.Lana glared at Fabian before looking at Yorick.However, Yorick was firm on his decision. If Madeline wanted her to kneel, then she had to kneel.Lana had never experienced this kind of humiliation before. She bit her lip and knelt in front of Madeline without a choice.Madeline towered over her, peering down at her in disdain.
The moment Madeline jumped out of the car, Jeremy’s mind went blank.An indescribable fear and horror crept into his throat.“Linnie!”As he reached out his hand reflexively to grab onto Madeline, his body also pounced toward the direction Madeline jumped in.Due to the inertia and force of impact, Jeremy held Madeline as they rolled a few times on the road before stopping.Then, the car crashed into the divider island with a loud crash. The tires of the car were rubbing against the road furiously.However, Jeremy did not care about the car nor his injuries and carried the unconscious woman in his arms.“Linnie! Linnie!”He supported her head and patted her cheek.“Linnie, don’t fall asleep.”His voice was trembling, and he did not understand why he was so afraid right now.It was only when he felt the stickiness behind Madeline’s head that he realized that his hands were covered in blood.His heart plunged violently.He then carried the pale Madeline and stopped a car by
