She could even feel his strong, powerful heartbeat.But what was going on?She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but she only remembered that she ran out as she didn’t want Jeremy to see her current hideous appearance. Alas, she fainted while running.Just as she was trying to recall what happened, Jeremy seemed to have woken up.Overcome by shock, Madeline immediately closed her eyes, her heart beating so fast to the point it almost jumped out of her throat. Jeremy opened his eyes and gradually raised the arm he had around Madeline’s waist, then proceeded to get off the bed.Madeline thought that Jeremy left at first, but she suddenly felt his breath closing in on her. The next moment, his forehead leaned against hers as if he were sensing her body temperature. Madeline didn’t dare to believe Jeremy’s current actions. Even more so, she didn’t dare to believe that he tucked her into the blanket attentively before leaving. Madeline finally opened her eyes after

Madeline was certain that Jeremy knew for sure that he was the Mr. Whitman that she was referring to. She thought that he would show some empathy and remorse toward that incident, but all she heard was the sound of his disdainful scoff. “Madeline, you’re still adamant on attaching that bastard to my namesake till today. I’ll tell you once again that I, Jeremy Whitman, only have one biological son, and he is Jackson Whitman,” he said.After he finished talking with a cold smile on his face, he let go of the hand he was using to hold Madeline in place. “I’m hungry, go get a bowl of porridge for me,” he said. Madeline clenched both her fists tightly. Looking at the cold, merciless man before her, she said in a dull tone, “I didn’t make enough for you, Mr. Whitman. The portion here is small, please go back.” “Madeline Crawford, is this the attitude you’re going to have while talking to me?” Jeremy asked, his brows furrowing slightly. It was evident that he was displeased.Madel

Madeline went to the hospital again. She didn’t go there for the wound on her face but went there to visit Eloise instead.Since it was nearing the new year, the atmosphere of the new year could even be detected in the hospital. Madeline wore her mask and saw a flower vendor at the entrance of the hospital. After thinking for a bit, she finally chose a bunch of pink carnations. She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from her bag. After writing the words “Madam Eloise Patton, I wish you a speedy recovery” on the paper, she placed it in the middle of the bouquet.Madeline enquired about Eloise’s ward from the reception desk. She was located in the VIP ward section.However, Madeline hesitated when she arrived in front of the room’s door. Nobody will welcome her here. She would just be seeking humiliation if she went in. However, inexplicably, she couldn’t let go of Eloise from her heart. At this moment, laughter rang out from the room.“Eloise, just look at how much you’re

After the impact, Madeline leaned against the wall, her head spinning. She did not notice the gold pendant she always had hidden in her clothes slip out. However, Meredith noticed immediately! She definitely noticed the butterfly-shaped gold pendant that slipped out of Madeline’s collar!She did not forget, three years ago, she when heard that Madeline could be Eloise’s daughter by birth, she tried all sorts of ways to obtain Eloise’s own personal toothbrush from Brittany, and at the same time, she stole Madeline’s clothes that had her DNA in order to perform a DNA test.The results stated that Madeline really was the daughter that Eloise and Sean Montgomery had been looking for over twenty years!It caused Meredith to feel incredibly envious but also gave birth to another evil thought. She devised a fake show with Rose and Jon which caused Eloise and Sean to suspect that she would be their daughter that was mistakenly taken away from the hospital all those years ago. Eloise a

The pendant fell on the back of Madeline’s foot and bounced off before landing next to Eloise’s wheelchair. Madeline coughed as her face turned red, her throat was extremely sore. She did not notice the sudden change in Meredith and Rose’s expressions, but she did hear Eloise’s surprised shout.“This! This gold pendant!”Eloise’s voice was shaking, and she was even stuttering. Madeline looked over with suspicion and saw Eloise pressing onto where she had her surgery before standing up from the wheelchair to pick up the pendant. “Sean! Sean!” Eloise cried out for Sean. When Sean heard Eloise’s cries, he ran over. The moment he saw the pendant in Eloise’s hand, he looked extremely shocked, it was as if he had recovered something that was long lost.“This! This is the pendant we had custom made for our precious Linnie all those years ago! Did you finally find it?” What?Madeline did not even have time to catch her breath when she heard Sean say that. Her mind suddenly went bla

Madeline looked on as Sean gently put the pendant on Meredith’s neck, and Meredith’s eyes were full of tears with a touched look on her face.“How wonderful, the pendant has finally returned to our precious daughter.” Eloise’s elated voice could be heard. Her gaze was filled with motherly love as she looked at Meredith.Looking at that scene, Madeline could not help but cry as an inexplicable pain shot through her heart. She stepped forward and tried to explain. “I did not steal that pendant, my grandfather left it…”“Madeline, what are you still trying to do?!” Rose suddenly interrupted her, forcefully pulling Madeline’s shoulder. “Get out of here this instant! Don’t for a moment think that Meredith is an easy target!”Rose continued to shout as she pulled Madeline away from them. Madeline wanted to fight back, but her body was very weak. Her vision got hazier as she looked at the familial scene in front of her. The pain in her heart intensified looking at Sean and Eloise tend

Madeline tried to escape, but she could not resist that huge man. She was forced into a car. “Who are you?! Where are you bringing me?!” Madeline shouted, but no one responded. She could not even jump out of the car if she wanted to, since someone was holding onto her hands the whole way. After a little over ten minutes, the car stopped at a deserted place outside the city.“Get out!” The man fiercely pulled her out of the car, shoving her onto the ground.As Madeline fell on the ground, her palms fell onto the sharp rocks on the floor, piercing through her skin as she started to bleed. She ignored the pain as she raised her head up.“What are you doing?! Who sent you here, is it Meredith?!” She asked. The moment she said that, Meredith appeared in front of her. Meredith had a face full of makeup and an expensive branded fur coat as she looked down arrogantly on Madeline. “Meredith, so it is you!” Madeline clenched her teeth as she faced the vile woman. “What did you have me

After her poisonous warning, Meredith violently pulled Madeline’s hair, shoving her head into a tree trunk over and over again, until Madeline had a gaping wound on her head.Madeline understood why Meredith had ordered some thugs to beat her up beforehand, it was to make it easier for Meredith to torture her right now. Madeline had absolutely no power to fight back. Madeline’s wound on her forehead had only just begun to heal, but it was once again open and bleeding.However, the pain that Meredith had brought onto her was not limited to just that. At the moment, Madeline was slumped on the floor, leaning against a dried-up tree, her pale face full of dirt and blood, looking absolutely terrifying.Meredith stood in front of Madeline, grabbing onto her chin. “Oh, look at how pathetic you are right now. Quit dreaming of seducing any more men. You can forget about Jeremy, as for Felipe…”She paused for a moment before letting out a crazy laugh.“Madeline, do you really think a high-

Just thinking about how Eloise and Sean looked at her caused Madeline to choke up. Meredith realized something was off, so she immediately snatched the paper away from Madeline’s hands. She was not surprised at all when she looked at the results on the paper, instead, she ripped the paper to shreds in rage. With a flick of her hand, the pieces of paper scattered into the wind.“Madeline, you vile woman!”Meredith used all her might to grab onto Madeline’s collar, her eyes were so venomous she looked like she wanted to skin Madeline alive. However, Madeline was still laughing, her white teeth stained with fresh blood that also colored her pale lips red.“Meredith, you really are just imitation goods.” She said those words softly, but it grated on Meredith’s ears when she heard them.Meredith sent a slap to Madeline’s injured face, as she widened her eyes widened wildly in front of Madeline. “Madeline, you better watch your f*cking tongue!”Meredith once again gripped Madeline’s

Meredith looked at the person who just appeared in astonishment. Meredith had already begun to devise a plot in her mind when she realized what she said to Madeline could have been overheard.“Meredith Crawford, you were never mom and dad’s birth daughter! It was always Madeline!” Brittany Montgomery shouted at Meredith angrily, “I had always treated you like a sister, but you had always coveted my position!”When she heard that, Meredith knew it was going to be a problem. However, she was good at acting, and quickly feigned a hurt expression. “No Brittany, don’t misunderstand. I really am mom and dad’s daughter…”“Meredith quit your lying, I recorded everything you said just now! I’m going to head right back and show them who you really are!” Brittany waved her phone around as she looked down arrogantly on Madeline who lay on the ground unmoving.“So what if I’ll be sisters with this ugly duckling in the future, it’s better than allowing a fake woman like you to continue strutting
