Madeline felt aggrieved now. How would he feel remorseful?Even if he did, it was already too late.…Madeline slowly got used to her new working environment. Her colleagues were friendly and they were discussing a celebration for Madeline the newbie during lunch.When it was lunchtime, everyone was discussing what they wanted to eat when the department manager, Elizabeth Snow walked over.Elizabeth was very beautiful and young. She was dressed in a very stylish outfit as well. When she walked in, she clapped her hands and said with a serious face. “We just accepted a very important project. The current rising influencer, Lolly Tate is about to get engaged with her boyfriend. They came to Mr. Whitman and asked us to design a pair of couple rings, a necklace, and a bracelet for them. They placed a ten-million-dollar customization fee. If we have this deal, our department can get a 10% award bonus.”“Wow!”“Does it mean every one of us will get tens of thousands?”Everyone was el

Madeline clutched her aching right cheek. She was confused.“Madeline, you vile woman! You evil witch!” Eloise shrieked as she pointed at Madeline’s nose.Madeline did not understand why she felt so horrible when she saw Eloise’s piercing gaze.“Mrs. Montgomery, why did you hit me?” Madeline tried to keep calm but her heart was beating fiercely.“You still have the cheek to ask me why?” Eloise pointed at Madeline furiously. “You kidnapped my grandson with another person and you bullied my precious daughter, Meredith! Now, you’re even inciting another man to make him side with you. He sent Mer a lawyer’s letter and said she deliberately assaulted someone with hot coffee!”As she said that, she threw the letter angrily at Madeline’s face.“Madeline, you’re such an evil woman! Thank god your parents died early, if not, they’d die from shame! If you’re my daughter, I would have kicked you out of the family!”As Madeline heard Eloise yelling at her, each one of her words stabbed in h

Madeline was wondering if Elizabeth had Multiple Personality Disorder. The way she treated her was so inconsistent.At this moment, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door.Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Whitman, why are you here?”Her attitude changed. She was now extremely gentle.When the rest of the employees heard this, they placed down their bags and smiled respectfully at Felipe. “Mr. Whitman.”Madeline finally came back to her senses. However, everyone had already finished greeting him. It would be as if she was trying to stand out if she greeted him now. So, she only nodded and smiled at Felipe.Felipe smiled at Madeline before walking in. He had an imposing manner to him. He was very handsome and elegant.“Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Good luck on the new project,” he said with a gentle tone.Elizabeth eyed her colleagues immediately and everyone understood what she meant immediately. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Whitman. We’ll do our best!”“Oka

When he saw Felipe standing with Madeline, a cold chill immediately appeared in Jeremy’s eyes.He lifted his head to look over and Madeline could feel her heart skip a beat.Even though he was not the man she cared about, her body was still hinting to her that she still could not get away from his shadow.“Jeremy?” Felipe walked out of the elevator in surprise. “Are you here to pick Maddie up?”“It’s none of your business.” Jeremy’s tone was cold. His eyes landed on Meredith’s face. “Why did you hang up on me?”“So you’re the one who called Maddie just now?” Felipe said with a laugh. “Maddie joked that it was a scam caller and hung up. Did you two fight?”After he said that, Madeline saw Jeremy’s face darkened.He stared at her. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”Jeremy said and grabbed Madeline’s hand.It was already winter so it was very cold. However, Madeline could feel that Jeremy’s hand was burning.She fantasized about him holding her hand to cross the road consider

When Meredith saw Jeremy and Madeline walking in together, she was so mad her hands were already in fists. There was something sinister in her eyes but she could not do anything about it.However, when she saw Felipe, she was utterly shocked!That man was Jeremy’s uncle!She was feeling extremely uneasy. She did not expect that Jeremy’s uncle was the person who stood up for Madeline that day.Plus, this man even gave her a lawyer’s letter to sue her!She looked at Felipe nervously. She stood at one side and pretended nothing happened.Felipe saw Meredith as well. He averted his eyes calmly.Madeline was dragged by Jeremy to sit next to him. On the other hand, Meredith sat on Jeremy’s other side. The moment she sat down, she poured wine and took food for Jeremy like a perfect little wife.Madeline felt that she was being an eyesore. There were all kinds of food on the table but she did not have much of an appetite. Plus, because of her health, she could only eat bland things.“

Madeline was caught unprepared. She reached over to pull out some tissues to soak up the blood. She was frantic. She did not know why she vomited blood, however, she did not want to let Jeremy see this.“Madeline! I don’t care if you don’t want to eat, but why did you tarnish my food?”Mrs. Whitman did not notice that there was blood in the curry Madeline vomited out. She pointed at Madeline and screeched angrily.“Tell me before you come here next time so that I can get away from you! I don’t want to see you ever again!”“Don’t be mad, Mrs. Whitman.” Meredith ran over quickly to comfort her. However, she did not forget to look back at Madeline and smirked at her.She saw clearly that Madeline was throwing up blood.She knew very well that Madeline could not operate on her tumor anymore. Her lifespan would be shortened if she ate such triggering food now.If Madeline died, then her chance to be the legally wedded wife would be here.“Are you trying to gross me out?” Jeremy roar

It was freezing.It was so cold that Madeline’s heart froze instantly.However, she was hoping that it would get colder. It would be great if it was so cold that it numbed her entire body.That was she would not have to feel pain anymore, be it her body, or her heart.Jeremy saw that Madeline was not struggling at all. So, he stopped what he was doing and yanked Madeline up as she trembled.He saw that her face was as white as snow and there was no color on her face. She looked like a puppet that had its blood drained from its body. What was left was only its empty shell.Jeremy suddenly felt scared. “Madeline, Madeline…”He was calling her name but she did not respond.“Madeline, don’t play dead! I’m asking you to talk!” Jeremy’s heart was beating so fast he felt as if it was in overload. A fear that he had never felt before started taking over him.When he saw that Madeline was still not reacting, he carried her and placed her on the bed.He hurried over to take some clean

After she said that, it felt as if the air around them had frozen over.Jeremy towered over the woman beneath him. “What did you say? Say it again.”“Us. Divorce.” Madeline repeated without hesitation. Those two words were firm and clear.The air became silent again. After a few seconds, Madeline heard Jeremy snorted. His eyes looked like they belonged to Satan. They were dark and they looked like they were about to devour her.“Divorce? Don’t even think about it!”Those icy and bone-piercing words escaped from his seductive lips.“Weren’t you so desperate to become my woman? I’ll fulfill your wish.”Madeline could feel herself breaking down while looking at his sinister smile.“I don’t need you to fulfill my wish! Jeremy Whitman, I want to divorce you!”“In your dreams.” Jeremy rejected her with no mercy. Then, he pinched Madeline’s jaw. “You want to divorce me just because you have another man? Madeline, how shameless can you be?”‘Madeline, how shameless can you be?’His

“You don’t look too well.”When Madeline heard Felipe say that, she touched her face awkwardly.She was unwell. Her body was getting worse and worse so of course, she would not look too healthy.“Are you okay?” He asked considerately.“Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Whitman. I’m fine.”Madeline thanked him quickly before getting up.She remembered how she got Felipe involved because of Jeremy and she felt very apologetic.“You can stop calling me Mr. Whitman when there’s no one around.”Madeline hesitated and then she said, “I’ll get going now, uncle.”“Actually, I’m only older than Jeremy by three years. I don’t like being called uncle, so you can just call me by my name.”Madeline was taken aback. Then, she nodded. “Then I’ll get back to work, Mr. Whitman.”Felipe looked at Madeline and smiled. “Go on.”…Madeline focused on her work. She could only forget about the things and people that made her unhappy this way.Their one-month long project was already halfway

Jeremy said as he sat down. Meredith tugged at him pretentiously.“Jeremy, I don’t think this is a good idea. Maddie doesn’t look too pleased.”Madeline wanted so badly to throw her glass of juice on Meredith’s face. She wanted to ask her which one of her f*cking eyes saw that she was not pleased about this?Amid the silence, Madeline heard Jeremy saying calmly, “Who is she to deny us?”Hehe.Yeah, who is she?She had always been nothing to him.When Meredith saw that Madeline did not dare to say anything, she was extremely pleased.She put down her purse and sat down next to Madeline. However, she did not expect Jeremy to sit down next to Madeline.Meredith was taken aback, on the other hand, Madeline was surprised as well.However, based on their identities, there was nothing wrong with Jeremy sitting next to her.Despite feeling unhappy about this, Meredith did not dare to make a fuss. So, she could only sit next to Felipe.After she sat down, Meredith felt that this was
