What?After hearing what Jeremy said, Meredith was like a deflated balloon. Her knees went weak and she took a step back.The threats and warnings she said to Vera earlier all appeared in her head immediately. ‘Let me tell you, Vera Quinn, this is how I disfigured Madeline back then. If you dare to cross me again, I’ll let you have a taste of that pain she felt!’Meredith’s face turned even paler than before while her heart raced furiously.She had indeed said those words just now.She was so infuriated by Vera, so her true self came out and she revealed her past misdeeds.Jeremy looked at the changes in Meredith’s eyes and expression. He said in a disappointed tone, “You told me that it was your father Sean who hired someone to slash Madeline’s face. I guess that’s not the truth. You’re the one who did that.”“N-No, that’s not it…” Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s arm. She shook her head to deny everything. Her eyes were filled with tears at this moment. “I didn’t hurt Maddie. I reall

Rose had heard Jeremy and Meredith’s conversation earlier, but she did not expect it to get exposed so quickly.She comforted Meredith, saying, “Mer, you can’t admit defeat now. You have to get the position of Mrs. Whitman! Not only is it a symbol of status, but it’ll also give you limitless wealth!”Rose’s eyes were filled with greed. There was a hint of savageness in her eyes. “I’ll take care of that Vera Quinn for you.”After venting for a while, Meredith touched her wounded face while she gritted her teeth.“Of course, I won’t admit defeat so easily! I’ll kill anyone who dares to steal my man away from me!”Her eyes were filled with venom. Sinister ruses were starting to appear behind her eyes.“Hmph, Vera Quinn, I’ll let my mother teach you a lesson. But it’s not you, Mom. It’s Eloise!”…Jeremy drove away from the hospital and arrived at a location somewhere.During his drive here, he felt like a puppet with no senses nor thoughts. He drove apathetically while his brain

On the way back to the manor, what Jeremy’s mother said to him through the phone earlier was still replaying in his head.Unbeknownst to him, he started to speed up his car and after more than ten minutes, he drove into the manor’s garage.After he got out of the car, he walked straight to the living room. When he was at the door, he saw the face of his dreams. That stunning and alluring face was in his field of vision.Jeremy stopped in his tracks as his heartbeat sped up.Madeline lifted her head and saw Jeremy. She smiled bashfully at him, her eyes looking so lively that it was like they were able to speak to him. There were so many emotions in them.“I thought Felipe was here, but it’s just you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline smiled softly.Jeremy’s speeding heart went back to its normal pace at that instant. He narrowed his eyes while maintaining a smile on his lips. “Are you waiting for Felipe?”“Felipe and I planned to come here together, but he had something to take care of sudd

He came back to his senses and saw Felipe walking over to him.Madeline walked past him, and her faint scent lingered in his nostrils. She smelled so sweet and had a unique scent to her.“Jeremy.” When Felipe saw Jeremy, he greeted him naturally.He was always so poised and refined, looking like a gentleman in his every move.Jeremy looked at the two of them as they held hands. He just glanced at them coldly.Madeline looked at Jeremy and turned around to smile at Felipe. “Felipe, let’s go in.”“Okay.” Felipe smiled softly, holding Madeline’s hand as he led her into the living room.Jeremy’s mother was on a call. When she saw Madeline and Felipe walking over hand in hand, she rolled her eyes in contempt before hanging up.“Oh, Felipe, you’re here,” Jeremy’s mother said in a strange voice. Then, she looked at Madeline from the corner of her eyes. “Say, are you really going to marry this woman?”Felipe smiled. He was being extremely polite. “As my elder, I hope you can have some

Everyone’s gaze landed on Jeremy who had voiced his opinion all of a sudden.There was a layer of frost on his handsome face and his eyes looked as piercing as icepicks.“Jeremy, I’ll marry Vera no matter what,” Felipe said calmly, but his tone was firm.“I won’t let you guys get married.” Jeremy’s calm and unhurried answer crashed against him. His tone was even firmer than Felipe’s.Madeline frowned. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Whitman? Who are you to oppose our marriage?”He pressed his lips together as his icy gaze landed on Madeline’s face. His eyes were filled with intense encroachment.“I won’t let you become my aunt because of your face.”His tone was domineering while his expression was cold and certain.Madeline scoffed. “I can’t marry your uncle just because I look like your ex-wife? If that’s the case, do you think it’s only suitable for me to marry a man who looks like you, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy was tongue-tied. He looked straight at her and their eyes met. It fe

Madeline came alone to the hospital where Meredith was staying in. There was a huge crowd gathering at the hospital. Everyone was looking at the highest floor of the building.When she saw this, Madeline looked up as well. She could see a white figure sitting at the railing. Judging from the person’s face, it was indeed Meredith.She immediately took the lift to the roof. She thought Jeremy would be there already, but there was no one else there. Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.However, he had looked worried just now. Was he not worried about Meredith?Why else did he run away so hurriedly?When she was contemplating about that, she heard Eloise bawling and screaming in devastation in front of her. “Mer, don’t do this. I’m begging you. Can you please come down?”Eloise’s voice was already hoarse from crying. It was evident how much she was worried about Meredith.Madeline clenched her fists unconsciously. She looked forward and saw that her birth father, Sean, was there as well.

After Madeline said that, the air around them froze instantly. The only sound that could be heard was the autumn wind howling on the roof. It was blowing past their faces again and again.Eloise’s expression changed as she looked at Madeline in disbelief. “W-What did you say? What did you just say?”Sean also strode toward Madeline at this moment. He was looking at her with a questioning gaze. “What nonsense are you spewing? My biological daughter is here. She’s well and alive! How can you curse her by saying that she’s been dead for three years?!”Madeline smiled sarcastically before letting go of Eloise’s hand. “I’m not cursing your precious daughter. I’m just repeating what was said,” she said calmly while pointing at Rose.“I heard her saying this with my own two ears. She said your daughter has been dead since three years ago.”“What?”Eloise and Sean looked at Rose in disbelief.“Nonsense!” Rose denied. Despite feeling frantic, she did not show it. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery

“If Madeline is a witch, then what about your precious daughter?” Madeline could not help but snort. “She worked with an outsider to kidnap her own son and pushed the blame to Madeline. Did you forget about that? In order to make Jeremy hate Madeline, she stole someone’s bracelet and framed her as the thief. Did you also forget about that? Mrs. Montgomery, just ask yourself, who’s the real witch here?”“You…” Eloise was speechless after she was talked back to like this.“I didn’t. I didn’t do those things…” Meredith quibbled while crying. She bit her lip aggrievedly, looking extremely pitiful right now. “Vera Quinn, why do you want to slander me? You’ve already successfully incited disharmony between me and Jeremy. Plus, you’ve even disfigured me. Will you only be happy after I’m dead? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’m going to jump now!”“No, Mer!”“Mer!”Eloise and Sean stopped her frantically. However, Madeline only scoffed in disdain.“Alright, hurry up. Stop dilly-dally

“Mer! Meredith! My baby!” Eloise was crying out hysterically. Suddenly, her legs gave out and she collapsed into Sean’s arms. She had passed out.When Madeline saw this, her heart ached.Eloise was her biological mother, after all. Despite Eloise not liking her, she still hoped that Eloise and Sean would be fine.However, they were being fooled by Meredith.Madeline felt that this was hilarious. After gathering her thoughts, she saw Jeremy standing at the spot where Meredith had jumped just now.He looked below with a grim expression on his face. Two seconds later, he turned around and walked back.“She only fell on the balcony. I think she’ll be fine,” Jeremy answered calmly. However, Madeline could see him visibly letting out a sigh of relief.He was still so concerned about Meredith, after all. He was worried that she would be dead.However, Madeline had already expected this to happen.Meredith was well-prepared. She must have surveyed the layout and knew there would be a

In the next second, Jeremy got out of the car while surrounded by an icy aura.His face was ice-cold when he saw them grabbing Madeline’s hands. He lifted his eyebrow before pulling Madeline to his side and away from the officers.“Meredith’s fall was just an accident. It has nothing to do with her. Please investigate thoroughly before you make an arrest.”His tone was cold while his eyes were narrowed. After that, he grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and opened the door of the passenger seat. “Get in.”Compared to the police car, Madeline would much rather get into Jeremy’s car.In just a few seconds, Jeremy had driven her to a quiet and empty suburb.When she got out of the car, Madeline asked him frankly, “I caused the woman you love the most to fall from a building. Why are you still helping me?”Jeremy looked at her with a fake smile. “The woman I love the most? Do you know who the woman I love the most is?”“Not only do I know who it is, but I think the entire Glendale also kno
