Yvonne’s hands halted the moment the lights flickered on. “So it was you.” An assured voice sounded from behind. “Although, I didn’t expect you to be impatient enough to act so quickly.” “...” Yvonne was in disbelief when she recognized the voice. Turning around frantically, she watched Madeline take elegant steps toward her with a dignified smile. “Madeline Crawford!” Yvonne was dazed as Madeline slowly approached her. The hands she used to hold the pillow were suddenly pushed off. She was shocked as she thought that Old Master Whitman could move. When she turned to look, her frightful eyes spotted Jeremy’s alluring features instead!Yvonne was dumbfounded. She could not believe that these two people were in the room with her. Slowly it dawned on her that she had walked into a trap! It was a trap both Madeline and Jeremy had set. They had just been waiting for her to take the bait! Yvonne was frantic, but upon remembering that she had a mask on and could not be co

“It had nothing to do with Linnie. This woman is the actual culprit.” Jeremy trailed his cold gaze to Yvonne who was trembling in the corner. “You can keep hiding there, but I can promise you it won’t change the fact of things. Do you think you can still protest and defend yourself?” “...” Karen was confused. “What’s going on? Who’s this woman?” Winston walked over and ripped Yvonne’s mask off her face before pushing her toward Karen. “Take a good look. This is the woman who hit you and stole both your wallet and your jewelry!” Looking at the person in front of her, Karen was dazed. “Yvonne!”“It’s not me, Aunty Karen!” Yvonne argued frantically. “Madeline is the one who set a trap to frame me! It really wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything! You’re my aunt, the only family I have in Glendale. Why would I hit you and steal your things? It really wasn’t me!” “You’ve already been exposed, so why try and shift the blame to Linnie?” Jeremy had long lost his patience. “The fact that

Karen turned to look as well and was taken by surprise. “Old... Old Master?” The care worker pushed Old Master Whitman into the room. Yvonne’s lips twitched as she felt her body grow cold. The old master might not be in the best state of mind, but his eyes were sharp and awake. He glared at Yvonne and spat out the words slowly but clearly.“You... That day… You were the one. I saw. You ran down the stairs with a jewelry box. There was blood on the box! You... You wanted to run... But did not expect Mad-Madeline to be there. You had no choice, so you hid in the flowerbed. When Madeline came in… she became your scapegoat!” “...” While the words were said with difficulty, they were clear and left Yvonne with no way to deny it. “You! You heard him, Yvonne! How could you still deny that it wasn’t you?” Fuming, Karen slapped Yvonne again. Yvonne shouted and stopped protesting as she cupped her cheek. “You b*tch! How could you be so cruel as to steal my money and hit me?! Y

She clenched her fists indignantly before suddenly turning to push Karen harshly out of the way. She then ran toward the gates. “Ow!” Caught off guard, Karen knocked into Winston. “Take care of Grandfather, Linnie. I’ll catch her.” Jeremy immediately ran after her.“That b*tch! I should never have taken care of such an unfilial rascal!” Karen shouted.The care worker looked at Madeline sheepishly from behind the old master’s wheelchair. “My apologies, Miss Crawford. I’ve misunderstood you.” “My name’s Eveline Montgomery. You can call me Miss Montgomery.” Madeline smiled softly. “I don’t blame you for telling the truth.” She walked toward Old Master Whitman and broke into a smile. “That was cheeky, Grandfather. I didn’t know you could speak such coherent sentences already.” Old Master Whitman responded with a deep gaze. “You’ve been wronged again, my child.” Madeline shook her head with a smile. “Misunderstandings tend to unfurl sooner or later. I don’t mind being misunder

He turned around to meet Madeline’s mirthful gaze with a handsome smile of his own. “I can say the same to you, Linnie.” “So despite that look of disappointment at the entrance this morning, you already knew that I had said it on purpose?” Madeline asked.Jeremy nodded, turning around to walk toward Madeline. His gaze seemed softer than the moonlight. “How could I not believe you? I’ve already made that grave mistake once. I won’t make it again.” His lips curled, and his gaze was sincere. “I’ve told you before, Linnie. I’ll believe you even if you lie to me. Be it hell or the abyss, as long as you’re there, I’ll jump in without a second thought.” “Is that so?” Madeline smiled meaningfully. “Then why did you turn and leave when I fell into the water that day?” Fell into the water that day? Jeremy was stunned. He had jumped in without hesitation and pulled her back to shore. His heart had hurt so much that it felt like he was suffocating when she refused to wake. Why did

Her phone vibrated. It was a call from Felipe. Walking to the balcony, Madeline picked up the call and told him that she would be registering hers and Jeremy’s divorce tomorrow. Felipe was elated at the news but expressed his shame for not being able to fetch Madeline as he had things to do tomorrow. They ended the call, and Madeline closed her eyes in thought as she let the wind blow past her face. Jeremy’s face seemed to be the only thing clear in every snippet of her recovered memory.… Madeline woke up early the following day. Venturing to the kitchen, Madeline made breakfast for Jackson and the Montgomery couple. It was a rare scenario that both Eloise and Sean were grateful for.It was good news to them that Madeline had not gone to F Country as planned. For at least now they could see their daughter frequently. After breakfast, Madeline stated that she was going to meet Jeremy at the town office to register their divorce, which stunned both Eloise and Sean as the

Madeline looked up to stare at that wretched smile. The man was a stranger, but she felt like they had crossed paths before. She was certain that he must have been an enemy of hers before she lost her memories, or he would not do something so extreme, let alone say something along the lines of ‘we meet again’. Tanner squatted down to grab Madeline’s delicate chin as she stared at him with a sharp and analytic gaze. “Tsk. What? You don’t remember this old friend of yours?” Madeline turned her face to fight Tanner’s hold with a dignified look in her eyes. “Good friend? Who are you to call yourself that?” Tanner was displeased. “What are you even arrogant about, Madeline Crawford? Let me tell you. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands again, I’m never going to let you go!” He stood up and gave Madeline a gluttonous look from above. Regardless of what angle he stared from, Madeline was still breathtaking. No. It would be more accurate to say that she had grown even more beauti

That accomplice was most likely an enemy of hers as well.By the time Madeline could guess who that woman might be, Tanner had hung up and returned. He took a rope to tie Madeline’s legs together while he continued to spout vile things from his mouth. “Just wait obediently for me to come back, Madeline. Then, I’ll show you how good I am!” Tanner then blindfolded Madeline’s eyes with a scrap piece of cloth before leaving the factory happily and locking the door behind him. Madeline tried to struggle, but it was to no avail. … Time ticked soundlessly away and it was already nine o’clock. In the town office, Jermey waited quietly. Watching young couples walking in happily hand-in-hand and walking out with sweet smiles on their faces, Jeremy could not help but think of the scene when he and Madeline had gotten registered. She was just like these girls, eyes full of hope as she admired him carefully. Thinking of her adoration-filled eyes, Jeremy’s heart ached. It was hi

Jeremy took off the cloth that covered Madeline’s eyes the same time she asked her question.Just as she felt the light, Jeremy's worried face was also reflected in Madeline's eyes. ‘It really is him.’Madeline muttered silently in her heart, and somehow, a feeling of security flowed through her heart."Linnie, how are you? Are you hurt?" Jeremy asked with distress as he quickly untied the rope that bound her hands and feet.Madeline shook her head. She was about to say something when she saw that the back of Jeremy's right hand was full of blood.She glanced at the broken glass window and suddenly realized that he had actually smashed the window with his fist.Seeing that Madeline did not answer him, Jeremy asked again while feeling more worried.“Linnie, who brought you here? Did that person hurt you?"Madeline came back to her senses. "It was a man. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall it now."She was about to stand up as she said this, but her legs

Tanner quickly tried to think of something in a panic as he quietly walked to the iron gates.He heard the voices of Madeline and Jeremy talking inside. Jeremy already knew that he was the one who kidnapped Madeline."MD, I really know that I did it!" Tanner quenched his dissatisfaction.He glanced at the barrels of gasoline at the gates, gritted his teeth, and shook his head.Jeremy found the tool to unlock the door and was about to act when Madeline suddenly caught a strange smell with her keen senses. "It smells of gasoline."Jeremy turned around. "Gasoline?""It's getting more and more intense." Madeline nodded and suddenly saw a red glow in the surroundings. "Someone has set a fire."The moment Madeline's voice fell, the tongue of the flames followed the path of the gasoline, and in an instant, it spread around the entire abandoned factory!They did not expect to encounter such a situation again.Jeremy calmly picked up the tool and slammed the door lock. "Linnie, don't b
