Madeline's outstretched hand was suddenly hauled up and Felipe was immediately interrupted right when he touched the corner of the thumb drive.He looked up unhappily with his cold eyes and saw an angry face."Vera Quinn, how could you be so shameless?!"Yvonne yelled, "As soon as Cousin Jeremy walked away, you immediately came to have a sweet lunch with another man. Both of you are even holding hands publicly. You’re so cheap, you don’t deserve to be my cousin-in-law! I’m going to tell Cousin Jeremy about this right away!"Madeline really did not expect Yvonne to have tailed her. As she was listening to Yvonne's slanderous words, she withdrew her hand unhappily and said, "Speak with your respect. This ‘other man’ you’re talking about is Jeremy’s uncle.""What?" Shocked, Yvonne looked at Felipe who had a cold facial expression. It was only then she noticed that this man not only looked handsome and extraordinary, but his facial features were indeed somewhat similar looking to Jeremy’s

She paused for a few seconds before picking it up.A man's deep and hoarse voice sounded softly, "Have you returned to the company?""No, I returned to my store," Madeline said calmly, "Aren't you busy? Why do you have the time to call me?"“I suddenly missed you,” he said softly. After saying this, he added, "For real."These two words made Madeline's heartbeat skip all of a sudden. Her gaze shifted to the computer screen, her heart feeling disturbed."Vera, I might not be able to go back tonight. Will you miss me like how I miss you?"Madeline was silent for a while as she listened to his words.Not knowing how much time had passed, she then replied softly, "Of course, of course I’ll miss you."After obtaining her answer, Jeremy chuckled softly and said with a sweet tone, "Don't worry, everything will be resolved soon. We’ll never be separated again after this."Madeline listened to Jeremy’s words blankly. By the time she had come back to her senses, it was unknown to her when the ca

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.Felipe's gaze turned cold. "Jeremy, aren't you on a business trip?""Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn’t come back just in time?" Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline's hand in his palm. "Let's go in."He ignored Felipe and turned away while bringing Madeline to the door.Madeline looked back at Felipe, then followed Jeremy into the corporation silently.Upon returning to the office, Madeline thought that Jeremy would question her, but he did not ask anything."Don't you have something to ask me?" Madeline inquiringly looked at the man who had a calm expression.Jeremy took off his coat and replied in a soft tone, "Do I have something to ask?""Won’t you ask me what is in this thumb drive and why I was giving it to Felipe?""If you wanted to tell me, you woul

Diana’s sister looked like an honest person. However, her tone was extremely disdainful when she spoke, “About 28 years ago, my sister Diana handed me a child. She said it’s a child who someone had abandoned. As she pitied the child, she asked me to adopt her.“Back then, she gave me a huge sum of money to keep the child, so I took care of the baby for a few days because I needed the cash. However, that child would cry non-stop every night. I thought she was too annoying and gave her to my father.”When Eloise and Sean heard about the truth, they were so heartbroken that they could not breathe.Their daughter had cried every night because she wanted her parents’ cuddles and comfort. However, no one was giving that to her. On the contrary, she was even abandoned.At that same moment, they were doting on Diana’s biological daughter.Diana even had the nerve to say that she was a child who was abandoned by her parents and only kept her around because she felt sorry for her.What she

Even though Madeline could guess this from Meredith’s replies, when Jeremy gave her an affirmative answer, she was still stunned all the same.The cold wind from the early winter caressed her face. That bone-chilling coldness made Madeline recall the man’s cruelness back then.She could never forget about his cruel and cold-blooded actions as well as his gaze. After a while, Madeline curled her lips superficially. “You hate Madeline so much, so why did you even erect a tombstone for her? You’re even giving her roses. I don’t understand this,” she smiled as she said. She could not accept this reality.He hated her so much that he wanted to crush her into dust, so why was he commemorating her passing?Jeremy smiled when he heard that. His gentle gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “I know you won’t believe me because even I’ve lied to myself a few times.”Madeline turned her head. “Lied to yourself?”Jeremy smiled and looked at Madeline. “I lied to myself that her passing is just a l

At this moment, Madeline’s phone chimed with the notification sound.Madeline gathered her thoughts and looked at the screen. It was from Felipe.Felipe was hoping that Madeline would send him the documents on the USB drive.“Daddy, is Vera going to be my mommy from now on? Can I tell the other kids that my mommy is Vera Quinn when they ask me?” Jackson asked in a childish and innocent voice.Madeline looked over and saw Jeremy spooning some food into Jackson’s plate. Then, he smiled warmly and nodded. “Jack, no matter in the past or the future, you only have one mommy and she’s sitting in front of you.”After he said that, Jackson smiled naively at Madeline.There was a glint in Jackson’s eyes that instantly healed Madeline’s wounded heart.Suddenly, she felt an ache in her heart. Then, she felt reluctant.She was reluctant to make Jackson’s smile disappear in the future.The moment Jeremy’s reputation was ruined and the Whitmans fell from grace, Jackson would not be happy ag

Madeline looked at Jeremy indifferently when she heard that. The man flipped through a stack of documents in his hand slowly without raising his head. “What’s going on?”Ken looked at Madeline hesitantly.Madeline understood what he meant and smiled before getting up. “You guys should talk. I’ll go back to the jewelry department.”“Vera is my wife. There’s nothing she’s not allowed to know.” Jeremy stopped Madeline from leaving.Ken nodded and said, “Mr. Whitman, the project in Cielo Aqua Bay with ZF is met with a bit of a hiccup.”Jeremy took care of the work in front of him and asked slowly, “The project has not started yet, so what can happen?”“Since it hasn’t started yet, someone snatched it away from us.”After Ken said that, Jeremy stopped flipping through his documents.He lifted his eyes that were as deep as the ocean. “Someone snatched it from us?”Ken nodded. “It’s a company named Simis. They signed the contract with the relevant department of ZF yesterday.”“Simis

‘I will leave a ray of light for you in the winter for the sake of Grandpa and Jack.‘This is my last act of kindness to you.’Two days later, not only was the crisis not solved, but the shares of Whitman Corporation were also greatly affected. There were also a lot of rumors about the possibility of them closing transactions.However, Jeremy did not look worried. On the other hand, he brought Madeline back to have dinner in Whitman Manor.During dinner, Jeremy’s phone rang non-stop. This time, he received a call and walked away. His mother placed down her fork in worry.“Aunt Karen, what’s wrong?” Yvonne looked concerned.“What else can be wrong? So many things have been happening to the company recently. I have no idea what’s going on. They all happened at the same time.”“Aunt Karen, don’t worry. With Jeremy’s abilities, he’ll be able to settle anything.” Yvonne had a look of admiration on her face as she flattered.“What do you know? This is related to ZF as well. I think t

“Shut up!” Jeremy roared angrily.Yvonne immediately kept quiet out of fear. She saw a coldness in Jeremy’s eyes and did not even dare to breathe too loudly.Jeremy walked past Yvonne and his mother as he approached Madeline. When he saw Madeline’s displeased expression, he asked gently, “Are you full? If you are, then let’s go home.”Madeline got up slowly, her arrogant eyes scanning across Yvonne and Jeremy’s mother. She said slowly, “I don’t want to eat anymore. How can I have an appetite when I’m facing those people.”“...” Jeremy’s mother exploded immediately. “Jeremy, did you hear that? She’s talking about me with that kind of attitude!”Madeline smiled coldly. “So what if I’m talking to you that way? Do you think I’ll let you bully me like Madeline?”“Y-You…” Jeremy’s mother was at a loss for words. “Vera Quinn, what do you mean? Are you outraged by the injustice Madeline suffered? How interesting. But you can’t stop me from scolding her when she is a b*tch! She said Mer

‘However, now you’re ridiculously exploiting my death and saying that you love me?‘Jeremy, you’re pathetic.’“I need to go to F Country three hours later. I’ll be gone for about two days.” The man’s deep voice sounded.F Country?Madeline’s eyes twinkled. Then, she replied flatly, “Okay.”When Jeremy heard her emotionless answer, he lifted his eyes and saw Madeline’s cold expression from the rearview mirror.After the car stopped, Madeline got out of the car and went into the house herself. When she wanted to go see Jackson, she remembered that Eloise had picked him up this morning.Although Jackson was not their biological grandson, he was still Eloise and Sean’s grandson in their hearts. They genuinely loved this child as well.Madeline went back to her room and grabbed her pajamas. She was about to go take a shower.However, when she turned around, she saw Jeremy looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes.“What’s wrong? Are you going to berate me for talking to y
