No one expected the old master to speak up during that moment.This left Yvonne's mouth wide open as her face went pale white.'Didn't everyone say that this old man is already paralyzed and won't be able to talk or walk till the day he steps into his grave? Why is he showing a reaction at this timing?'All this while, I've been cursing and insulting him. Won’t everything come to light?'"Grandpa." Jeremy was extremely delighted as he spun around and returned to the old master's side. "Grandpa, are you able to move? What do you want to say?"The old master's eyes were enormous as he gave his all to voice out, but they heard no words in the end.However, with effort, he extended his shaking right index finger and pointed ahead.Yvonne, who saw the scene, quickly took a step back and sneered, "Look, Jeremy. Grandpa is pointing toward this woman. Grandpa's trying to say it's this woman who caused him to end up in this state!"Then, Karen smirked and said, "Jeremy, your grandpa has

Yvonne caught up to Karen and put on a fake, worrying face. In reality, her face was revealing a devilish smirk.She thought Karen would cause Madeline trouble. However, she ended up arriving at the hospital.With Karen's previous social network, she got to know about Madeline's illness.After getting to know about the details of her condition, she burst into laughter. "Haha, it looks like that b*tch really lost her memories. No wonder earlier she greeted me as 'Mom' so politely. It turns out she has reverted to her stupid state!"Karen felt that her chance had arrived as she hurriedly went back to pack up. She checked out from the house and dragged her luggage to Jeremy and Madeline's wedding villa.Just when she got down from a cab, she noticed Jeremy starting his car and leaving the villa.Madeline was cleaning Old Master Whitman's body meticulously and covered him with a blanket so he could hit the sack.She heard the doorbell ringing just when she was about to speak a few w

Jeremy's sudden appearance made Karen and Yvonne feel a jolt course through them.They both got choked by the flesh of the fruits and started coughing vigorously till their faces went scarlet.Madeline lifted her eyes and saw Jeremy's dark expression. His sharp gaze was looking right at her.However, the moment their eyes met, his expression changed and became much calmer."Linnie." He placed the daily supplies that he just bought at the supermarket down on the floor. Heartbroken, he took the broom away from her hand. "What are you doing, silly?""I'm cleaning up. Mom said that she'll be staying here with Yvonne. I've already cleaned up the guest rooms." Madeline explained with a smile.Jeremy frowned, shifting his stony gaze to the two ladies."Get lost right this minute!" He chased them out without a single thought.Karen put on a pitiful look when she saw Jeremy infuriated. "Jeremy, I'm your mom. Your dad went overseas again for the sake of minimizing the loss. How do you ex

“It’s best not to provoke Jeremy now. You should clean this place up and we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Karen left without turning back.“...” Yvonne could only swallow her anger and clear the table before doing the dishes.After Madeline put the old master and the little guy to bed, she saw Jeremy waiting for her at the door when she left the little guy’s room.The moment she closed the door, he picked her up out of the blue.Madeline let out a gasp of surprise and circled her arms around Jeremy’s neck subconsciously.When she took in his scent, her face heated up. Then, she closed her eyes bashfully.“Jeremy, I can walk myself. Please put me down.”“Nuh-uh.” Jeremy shook his head. Then, he looked deep into her eyes. “Linnie, I’ll never let you go for as long as I live.”His words were so touching and they enveloped her heart sweetly.Madeline smiled while leaning against Jeremy’s shoulder. She was enjoying this moment of gentleness that he gave her.Yvonne had just finished

He looked at her, his eyes filled with nervousness and worry.However, Madeline only shook her head. Her charming eyes were slightly lowered.Jeremy understood Madeline’s reaction.His brutal treatment toward her back then had left a mark on her heart, so at this moment, it was not her personality changing as she was truly scared.When he thought about this, Jeremy held Madeline tightly while feeling sorry.‘I’m sorry, Linnie. I’m so sorry…’He pressed up against her gently and apologized in his heart.“We’ve been so busy this entire day, so you must be tired, Linnie. We should rest early.” Jeremy suppressed the heat in his body and fell asleep with Madeline in his arms.Finally, he could sleep peacefully with her in his arms again. Jeremy felt like he was in a dream. However, he hoped this dream could last and he could stay in this dream longer.If possible, he did not want to wake up.…The next day.Madeline woke up early. After helping the little guy up, she went to mak

Madeline nodded lightly and walked into the kitchen.Karen and Yvonne looked at each other before smirking evilly.“Aunty Karen, look at her. She’s so submissive. If it’s not for Jeremy protecting her, she’ll just be a piece of trash!”“Hmph, if it’s not for Jeremy’s sake, I wouldn’t even let her into this house!” Karen scoffed arrogantly. “Just watch. Something interesting is going to happen.”Karen said and walked into the kitchen. When she saw Madeline busy with the preparations, she urged impatiently. “Hurry up. Do you want me to die from hunger? Is this how you are as a daughter-in-law? You’re so slow. I wonder why Jeremy would want to marry a piece of trash like you!”“It’s all because someone is such a wh*re and used all kinds of heinous methods to climb into Jeremy’s bed. If not, with her qualities, even the beggars on the street wouldn’t want her,” Yvonne chimed in sarcastically.Yet, Madeline acted like she did not hear them. She just went on with her business.After a

“...” Yvonne was shocked when she heard that.Karen was horrified by what she saw. She only came back to her senses after a long while. “Yvonne!”She wanted to go help Yvonne, but Madeline was in her way. She roared in anger. “You piece of trash, get lost!”“Piece of trash?” Madeline looked at her coldly.Karen was taken aback. Suddenly, she saw a sharp and piercing glint in Madeline’s eyes. The glint was the same as when Madeline exposed her identity. “Madeline, y-you…”“Why? Are you trying to threaten me when Jeremy’s not here? Do you think I’m that old Madeline who would allow you to do anything to her?”What?Karen widened her eyes in shock. Then, she looked at Madeline’s face in dumbfoundedness. Suddenly, she felt nervous.Madeline looked at her coldly as she picked up her knife and fork. Then, she pushed Karen’s shredded eggs together before pushing the plate in front of her.“It’s a heinous thing to waste food, my darling mother-in-law. You have to finish this.”“...”

However, Madeline agreed. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”“Ugh ugh ugh!” The old master was even more emotional than before.Madeline turned around and walked toward him. The sharp look in her eyes softened. “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, I’m not the old Madeline anymore.”Despite her comforts, the old master was still making sounds of protest with all his might. He wanted to stop Madeline.However, Madeline still left with them.The car arrived at the villa Felipe bought in the suburbs. He had already made Madeline’s favorite black tea.When he saw Madeline, he poured her a glass of tea considerately. As usual, he displayed a gentle and elegant smile.“Maddie, sit down and have some tea. I’ll explain to you what happened recently.”Madeline smiled. “No need. I’m not drinking the tea as well.”Felipe froze as he held the cup. Then, he looked over at her coldly.On the other hand, Madeline was smiling calmly. Her eyes were twinkling with confidence. “I came here to talk to you abo

Jeremy felt that something was not right. He knew that Felipe would not let Madeline come back so easily.He was worried if Madeline was being threatened. After he entered the house, he went into the old master’s room to look for Madeline.When he saw the door closing, he hesitated for two seconds before opening the door and walking inside.After he opened the door, he saw Madeline making the bed for the old master. When she saw him, she smiled.“Jeremy, you’re just in time. It’s time for Grandpa to rest. You should help him to bed.”Jeremy did as she instructed. He helped the old master into the bed comfortably and placed the blanket over him.“Grandpa, rest well. Linnie and I will be taking care of you, so you’ll recover soon.” Jeremy comforted the old master softly. There was a rare gentle smile on his face.The old master could not move, so he could only blink to respond to him.Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and left the room together. Ignoring the aunt and niece who were sta

Karen was proud of this ‘report card’. She felt that she could crush Madeline’s spirit with this.However, Madeline was not bothered by this. She only worked on her drafts silently.Her daily routine was pretty simple. She would draw in the morning and take care of the old master. At night, she would spend more of her time with Jackson.She would read to the boy and teach him how to read. Sometimes, they would even make some arts and crafts. They were having the time of their lives.Jeremy did not waste any time. Despite Felipe not making any moves recently, he knew he had to be hatching an evil plan at the moment. He had promised that if he lost Whitman Corporation, he would definitely get it back. This was not a joke and he had already taken action regarding this.Plus, he knew that Felipe was still attracted to Madeline. If he wanted to keep the love of his life with him, then he needed to be one step ahead of Felipe.…A few days later, the day of the competition was confi
