All the servants and bodyguards were awakened and came rushing out, but none of them could stop Jeremy who was giving off a murderous aura."Ask Felipe to come out and meet me." He walked to the center of the hall and glared at the bodyguards who were blocking him."Why the crowd when it's my nephew who wants to meet me?" Felipe's voice was heard coming from upstairs.Jeremy's cold eyes shifted over to see Felipe taking his own sweet time to come down.Felipe was in a loose bathrobe with a carefree expression on his face. "You guys should be resting when it's time to rest. Don't interrupt my reunion with my lovely nephew." He then sent the servants and bodyguards away.Soon, there were only the two of them in the hall."Felipe Whitman, is this your way of snatching someone's wife? By constantly giving pressure to Linnie and making her suffer? Are you happy about it?" Rage was brewing within Jeremy's orbs as he questioned.Felipe smirked," I pressured Linnie just so she could reg

Jeremy slammed the chopsticks on the table.Karen immediately went silent. She raised her gaze only to find that even the old master was glaring at her, exasperated as if he was not satisfied.Madeline, on the other hand, offered to wipe the old master's mouth before meeting Karen's gaze. She let out a smile and said, "I guess the saying about how one's personality will not change is referring to people like you, right?"…"You know that spouting out such nonsense will make everyone unhappy, yet you still blurt it out. I can't comprehend your actions. I wonder whether you're a fool or if you just have low EQ?"Karen's face went pink. "You…""Stop it! Eat your food!" Winston cut her short, not allowing her to finish her comment.However, Karen was not willing to give in. Staring at Madeline's smirk, she felt as if Madeline was making fun of her.Infuriated, Karen picked up her purse and went outside without finishing her breakfast.She claimed to be heading out shopping when in

Karen rushed back to the villa after having a thorough discussion with Yvonne at the condominium.She noticed Madeline coming down from upstairs when she entered the villa. She put on a smile and greeted her as usual to prevent Madeline from suspecting her."My daughter-in-law," Karen called out to Madeline. "I apologize for what happened in the morning. You're right, I’m a person with a low EQ. I'm not good with words, so please don't take my words to heart."Madeline replied with a smile, "I won't take those foolish comments to heart."Karen could not tolerate Madeline's straightforward reply. Her smile on her face froze as rage coursed through her. "Madeline, I apologized to you in a pleasant tone, yet you’re using this attitude against me? You—""Something fishy must be going on if something unusual happens. Haven't you heard about it before?" Madeline cut her short, raising her proud gaze to glance at Karen. "Better use a smarter way if you want to go against me."Madeline t

Karen knew well that the opportunity had landed and she quickly went up to steal Madeline's design. She also noticed the laptop on the coffee table that was displaying the software of the design. Immediately, she logged in to her email on the laptop and sent the electronic manuscript of the design to Yvonne. She also deleted the archive on the laptop.After all the commotion, Karen picked up a glass of water and poured it over the sheets of paper. Then, she placed the glass at the top corner so that it would appear as if someone had accidentally tipped the glass over, drenching the pile of papers.Meanwhile, Yvonne was thrilled as she had received the design sent by Karen.She quickly called Karen to double confirm it was the one Madeline had decided to go with for the competition.Yvonne looked at the design with satisfaction. "Madeline, I'll acknowledge your talent. Unfortunately, no matter how good your drawing is, it's still going to end up being my product! Haha!"She burst i

The audience’s reaction was the total opposite of the judges’ as they looked as though they had been mesmerized by the design.Seeing the expressions displayed on the judges and the audience made Yvonne's lips curl in excitement.'It looks like this design has stolen the spotlight. Just look at these people! Their jaws have all dropped to the ground after looking at it!'Karen, who was sitting among the audience, was proud as well when she heard the praises given by the crowd.Her gaze met Yvonne's, then she turned to look at Madeline who was sitting at the contestants' area.Both Karen and Yvonne were joyous to see Madeline dumbfounded.'Hmph, I bet you never saw this coming, right, Madeline?'Your hard work is now mine!'"The sixth designer, are you sure this is the design that you submitted for this contest?" Mr. Lewinski, who was previously courted by Yvonne back at a charity banquet, pointed at the screen and asked.Yvonne blinked her eyes, acting all obedient as she nodd

???After hearing what the judges had to say, Yvonne's expression slowly changed to become much more awful.She stared at the design that was displayed on the screen, finding it hard to believe. She was absent-minded for a few seconds.'This... This is the work of a famous jewelry designer?'How did it come down to this?'Damn it!'It must be Madeline who copied that designer's work, planning to use it for the contest!'Then doesn’t that mean I’ve become the scapegoat for Madeline?!'That was what was coursing through Yvonne's mind. Exasperated, she glared at Madeline.Madeline sat under the lights quietly and elegantly. Her stunning face remained composed.Madeline could not help but curl her red, sexy lips into a smile when she saw Yvonne glaring at her while clenching her teeth."Yvonne, how dare you say that this is the product of your hard work when all you did was copy a great designer's work and submit it for the contest? You're indeed hilarious and foolish. Designing

'What?!'Karen never expected that Madeline would so boldly call her foolish on such an occasion.Even though her status was not the same as previously, most people in Glendale knew Madeline was Jeremy’s wife. As such, they would also know that the mother-in-law Madeline mentioned was no one other than Karen!A commotion broke out at the scene as the crowd started heatedly discussing.Jeremy was sitting not far away. His face was covered with a thin layer of ice even though he was not speaking.Eloise and Sean, who were sitting in front of Karen, spun around. "Karen, did you do something to harm my daughter again? What's with those statements blurted by your niece?!" Eloise questioned.With Eloise’s comment, everyone came to realize that Karen was the foolish mother-in-law who Madeline mentioned.Facing so many suspicious gazes, Karen immediately stood up. "Madeline, what are you blabbering in this kind of situation? I still want to conserve my dignity even if you plan to discar

"No wonder Young Master Whitman's business has dropped drastically. Perhaps it's because of having such a mother!""However, Young Master Whitman has such a capable wife. I'm sure it'll be an easy task to start all over again."After hearing the comments from the crowd, Karen picked up her purse while feeling embarrassed and fled from the scene.She had no choice but to escape from the scene to prevent further humiliation."Security, please take this lowly person out of here. Let's carry on with the contest." The judges glared at Yvonne.Yvonne clenched both her fists, feeling dissatisfied from the bottom of her heart."Don't touch me. I'll walk on my own!"She threw a temper and shoved the security aside. It was only after glaring at Madeline that she was willing to leave the scene.Jeremy lowered his gaze and held onto Madeline's hand. "Linnie, why didn't you let me know that they were plotting against you behind your back?"Madeline let out a smile and said with a faint ton

'We'll each go our separate ways.'That phrase that sounded familiar was like an icy spear piercing through Jeremy's heart.He thought back to that fateful day three years ago.She had lost her vision and came to his and Meredith’s wedding ceremony.At that moment, she was gravely ill and was on the brink of death.However, she summed up every bit of strength left within her to support herself and say to him firmly, "Jeremy, thanks for coming into my life. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you've given me in the past. However, I hereby return everything to you, including my ashes. From today onward, we don't owe each other any more favors. I hope I won't bump into you in the next life…"Now, she had blurted out the same phrase.He felt a pinch in his heart. Jeremy fixed his stare on Madeline's gorgeous face, speechless.'Linnie, you've recovered all your memories, right?'In the end, you've decided to leave me, is that right?'The sweet memories that you’ve given me durin

Madeline seized the opportunity to shove him away and added with a much colder tone, "I've no recollection of what happened before I lost my memories, and I've no intention to recall them. Now, I only have hatred for you, do you understand? Don't come and look for me. I don't want to see you anymore."Her eyes were stony as she spun around mercilessly. "Let's go, Felipe.""Alright." Felipe was being a gentleman as he opened the door for Madeline. Before entering the car, Felipe glanced at Jeremy who was keeping quiet amid the gusty winds. Felipe's eyes were glinting as if he had emerged victorious.Boom!The first storm landed on the first night of summer.Those without an umbrella were sprinting to prevent getting caught in the rain, except for Jeremy whose soul had left his body. He was still standing in the middle of the rain.His eyes moistened as he got drenched with rainwater.He sealed his eyes tight and saw only the wounds deep in his heart.However, he firmly believed
