The box fell and landed next to Madeline’s feet.Lana frowned pretentiously and said aggrievedly, “Mrs. Whitman, what’s the meaning of this? I have an invitation to come here as a guest. As a guest, I’m giving you a gift, so why are you not accepting it?”Naomi looked at the calm and unperturbed Madeline while sniggering. Then, she displayed a shocked look on her face. “Ah, Lana, haven’t you noticed? I don’t think Mrs. Whitman can see.”“She can’t see?” Lana pretended to be confused and started looking at Madeline from head to toe. “Mrs. Whitman, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blind?”When Lana said this, a collective gasp sounded from around them.“What? Eveline is blind?”“No way!”“Did she go blind from crying so much over her parents’ death?”“Poor girl. However, how is she going to manage Whitman Corporation now that she’s blind? Will it affect our business collaboration?”“This is all hard to say.”Lana was pleased with herself after she successfully stirred u
Madeline smiled softly and pressed down on a mini remote in her hand. “Then, let’s all see what Miss Johnson will look like when she kneels and apologize.”After Madeline said that, the lights dimmed. The scene of Lana kneeling and apologizing to Madeline appeared on the LED screen in front of everyone.Even though Lana was reluctant at that moment, she did say ‘Eveline, I’m sorry.’When Naomi saw this, she was stunned. “Lana, w-why did you…”“Eveline!” Lana exploded. “Eveline, you took a video of me!”Madeline turned on the lights and smiled. “Of course. I did it by using the hidden camera on my brooch. I captured your sorry face when you apologized to me,” she admitted magnanimously. “This is Miss Lana Johnson who struts around tyrannizing everyone, but from the looks of it now, she’s nothing.”“You…” Lana was seething.She lifted her hand to slap Madeline when Madeline took a glass of red wine from the table and splashed it straight onto her face.Lana froze immediately, her
Lana was confused. She felt as if nothing was going according to her plan tonight.It was fine that she was outsmarted by Madeline, but what was going on with Jeremy?Lana did not understand and was furious. “Hans, what’s wrong? Why did you hit me?”Jeremy’s gaze was like daggers. “You’re causing trouble during the anniversary of my company and even brought such a shameless woman to cause trouble for my wife. If I don’t hit you, then my name isn’t Jeremy Whitman.”“W-What?” Lana was dumbfounded once again.Jeremy Whitman!He called himself Jeremy Whitman!He said Madeline was his wife!Did he get his memories back?When did this happen? Why had she not realized this?Lana looked on in disbelief as the man’s eyes became colder and colder. However, she still smiled cockily. “Hans, don’t joke about things like this. The person you need to hit is Eveline Montgomery! I’m the love of your life.”“Do you think you’re worthy of being my woman?” Jeremy said mercilessly, “You brainwas
Karen sighed. “She’s in the lounge. I think she’s feeding the baby now.”Jeremy turned around quickly after he got his answer and ran toward the lounge.When he saw a breastfeeding sign on the door, he walked up to it and lifted his hand.He wanted to knock, but he hesitated.After a while, he finally knocked.Then, Madeline’s voice came from inside. “Mom, is that you? Come in.”Jeremy knew Madeline was mistaking him for Karen, but he decided to just go along with it and went inside.Madeline was not breastfeeding, but instead, she had her back toward him as she squatted next to the sofa. She looked like she was changing the baby.“Mom, can you get the wet wipes for me? It’s in my bag.”Madeline did not see who came in. Her attention was on the child who had just made a mess in his diaper.When Jeremy approached her and handed her the wet wipes, she finally sensed that something was amiss.She looked at the man in front of her as her gentle gaze immediately turned sharp.Sh
“Linnie…”“Stop calling my name. I don’t want to see you,” Madeline interrupted him and wiped away her tears.“I never blamed you for forgetting me. I know you only got hurt because you wanted to save me and that’s how Lana got the chance to manipulate you. However, it doesn’t excuse your lack of humanity that let you kill my parents!”“Jeremy, I don’t know how to face you anymore. When I see you, I’ll think of my dead parents, but I can’t avenge them. Do you understand how I feel?”Madeline took a deep breath and picked up the innocent baby from the sofa before leaving the lounge.Jeremy knelt on the ground, his brain replaying what Madeline’s words. At this moment, he felt as if a thousand knives were slicing through his heart.If possible, he really wanted to exchange his life with the lives of Eloise and Sean.He would do anything to repent just to make her feel better.‘But Linnie, you won’t give me another chance to repent and apologize anymore.’After Madeline left the
“Mrs. Whitman is a well-known jewelry designer in the jewelry business, so you should know something about painting, right? If you have time, why don’t we exchange tips?”Ryan had helped her before and was a polite gentleman, so Madeline did not reject him.On the other side, Lana barged back into her house.However, the moment she stepped inside, she received a heavy slap.Her brain went blank and she was dumbfounded.Then, she tasted blood in her mouth.Naomi who was close behind Lana saw this and started shivering.What the hell was going on today?She was going to watch Madeline make a fool of herself, so why did things become like this instead?Lana clutched her swollen face and yelled, “Yorick, are you insane? Why did you hit me again?”“Ask yourself what you’ve done just now.” Yorick’s face was dark as if he was hiding angry emotions. “I told you to stop stirring sh*t and go back to F Country to be a spoiled princess. Why did you have to go and provoke Eveline?”When
The baby felt someone carrying him, so he opened his huge and round eyes instantly.The man holding the baby was shocked. However, his heart melted when he saw those innocent and naive eyes.“Are you Pudding?” Jeremy asked in a low voice as he caressed the adorable face with his fingers.The baby looked at Jeremy and subconsciously parted his lips into a cute grin.Jeremy felt his Adam’s apple bobbing when he saw his smile. He could not control his tears from falling.The scene of Madeline painfully delivering the child prematurely was still fresh in his memory.She supported her frail body through the pain by using her strong willpower. That was how she gave birth to this premature baby.When that happened, her clothes and hair were drenched in sweat while her face was extremely pale. She had been longing to reach out her hand to him and call out to him.However, he was like an emotionless robot and only reached out his hand to her at the last moment.Then, he felt his heart
She placed the baby down and checked his diaper. However, he had not peed or pooped.Madeline was worried that something might have happened to the child. She picked him up and was ready to take him to the hospital.“Linnie, let me try,” Jeremy begged. “When I held him just now, he didn’t cry.”Madeline looked at him coldly. “If you hadn’t come in, he wouldn't have woken up at all. I spent so much time putting him to sleep. Why did you come in?”Madeline grumbled. Despite knowing that the baby might be crying for other reasons, she did not have the capacity to face this man.“Linnie, let me hold the child. Really, he didn’t cry when I carried him just now,” Jeremy begged again.However, Madeline did not let him hold Pudding. On the contrary, she scoffed.“So you know he’s your son now?”“Linnie.”“Jeremy, I don’t blame you. I really don’t blame you for losing your memories. I just hate that you lost your humanity after you lost your memories.”She tried very hard to control h
