“You stole my fiancé, you wh*re!”Naomi slandered Madeline with horrid vulgarities. Her hatred for Madeline was evident from the look in her eyes.Ryan frowned and pulled Madeline behind him. “It’s no one else’s fault that we broke up, Naomi Lionel! You were the one who revealed how heinous a woman you were. I refuse to date a person like you, let alone get married to you.”Naomi continued to rage as her eyes fell on Madeline’s hand in Ryan’s and how he was defending her. “What’s wrong with a woman like me? How am I worse than this b*tch? She just got divorced and she’s already your girlfriend? That just means that you’ve been together before she got divorced!“Hmph! She acts like this dignified and kind lady when in truth, she’s the kind who’d even steal from charity funds! Eveline Montgomery, you’re nothing but a fake b*tch!”Ryan, who was rarely angered, was now enraged.However, Madeline held him back and replied calmly, “Ryan and I are an upright couple, Naomi. Don’t just

Lana’s expression shifted, and her heart grew uneasy.No way.Her plan was sound, and she had even used cash when she bribed Eve. How could she have miscalculated?Lana thought that Madeline was bluffing.She could not help but fan the flames. “Your accomplice has already admitted it, Eveline. There’s no use in arguing.”Madeline knew then that Lana was the person behind this entire play.However, she was Eveline Montgomery, not Madeline Crawford. There was no way she would just forgive and forget when someone was trying to frame her.“You’re right, there’s no use in arguing at all. Which is why I’m calling the police.” Madeline pulled out her phone and made a report in front of everyone.Still sitting on the floor, Eve’s eyes flashed to Lana before she quickly got up to keep acting. “You can’t call the police! How could you set me up, Eveline? You were the one who said you’d keep me safe even if they found out. How could you—”Instead of getting angry, Madeline smiled and con

The crowd began to berate her, saying, “How vile must you be to steal from the charity funds? She has to spend at least a few years in jail for this!”A few years? In jail?Eve’s heart raced at the words and she asked in disbelief as Madeline walked past, “Did you admit it, Eveline Montgomery?”Madeline halted to shrug hopelessly at Eve. “You already identified me, didn’t you? What more can I deny?”“...” Eve was stunned by Madeline’s expression of acceptance.Staring at Eve’s conflicted expression, Madeline continued, “Although the police did say that they haven’t found any evidence that I was the one who instructed you, so I might not be charged in the end. I’ll be out in a few days, but I can’t say the same for you…”Madeline paused intentionally as she stared at Eve’s frantic expression meaningfully.“The police found camera footage of you transferring the funds, so you most definitely would be charged. The transfer is quite the amount, so you might spend at least a decade i

Feeling the suspicious gazes of those around her falling on her, Lana knew that she could not run. Instead, she put on a wronged and lost expression.“I don’t even know you, miss. Please don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do!”“What do you mean you don’t know me? You were the one who waited by my office last Friday and called after me! You were the one who told me to work together!” Eve accused, getting progressively frustrated. “You were just using me to deal with Eveline Montgomery, weren’t you? How could you be so sinister?”Hearing this, Madeline turned to whisper to her secretary, Coco, who was standing by her side.Coco nodded and quickly walked off.Madeline looked up to stare at Lana but found her eyes landing on Jeremy who was standing behind the woman instead.Their eyes met and Madeline coldly averted her gaze.Lana’s composure had completely fallen apart by now as she glared at Eve to tell her to shut up. It only enraged Eve further.“What are you glaring at me f

Jeremy glanced at her calmly. “There’s nothing to be afraid of if you’re innocent.”“Of course I am!” Lana exclaimed, then turned to glare at Eve.She merely rolled her eyes when another pair of handcuffs were brought to her wrists.She was dazed. “Why are you arresting me, officers? I already told you everything I know. Why are you still arresting me?”“Who else would they arrest, then? Me?” Madeline smiled and fired back. “You say you’re innocent, Eve, and that you’ve been used. But none of this would’ve happened tonight if you didn’t have the heart to harm me in the first place.”“...”Speechless, Eve stared at Madeline’s tranquil expression. Not only was she feeling like an idiot for being used, but she had also completely lost to Madeline.With Lana and Eve brought away, Naomi was left to stomp her feet in infuriation.She watched with eyes reddened by envy as Ryan defended Madeline.Everyone who spoke ill of and suspected Madeline went up to give their sincere apologies.
Chapter 1027
Jeremy’s footsteps came to a heavy stop and he could not take another step.He watched as Madeline smiled at Ryan, her lips spreading as dimples bloomed on her face. Oh, how he wished that the smile was for him.Yet Jeremy knew that he was no longer worthy of such a smile.Taking Ryan’s hand, Madeline turned and stopped by Jeremy’s side as they brushed shoulders. “Why are you still here? Go and bail your girlfriend from the police station already. With a boyfriend as skilled as you, I’m sure she’ll be out in no time.”Jeremy knew that Madeline was mocking him.Smiling nonchalantly, he looked at Madeline’s dignified and distant eyes. “Thank you for the reminder, Miss Montgomery. I shall fetch my girlfriend home, then.”Fetch her home.Home.Madeline’s hand in Ryan’s tightened slightly as the chill blew through the riddled holes in her heart.Ignoring Jeremy, she turned to smile at Ryan.“You know, Rye, my last marriage was an absolute failure. Well, essentially, I got married

‘Why did I have to reach the shore?‘It’s not your fault, Linnie. I never deserved you to begin with.‘I hope you’ll never think of me again, the man who made you cry countless times.’Jeremy made sure not to bail Lana out. Instead, he made sure she stayed the full 48 hours under police custody first before he went to bail her out.When Lana returned to the villa, she began to scold Madeline to the heavens.“Your ex-wife sure has quite the tricks up her sleeve, Jeremy.” She mocked, saying, “Is she not afraid that I’ll kill her one day?”Jeremy’s brows knitted as a flurry of frost flashed through his eyes. “Eveline and I are already divorced. Why must you give yourself unnecessary trouble by going to bother her?”Lana ground her teeth indignantly as she walked toward Jeremy with suspicion in her eyes. “You still love Eveline, don’t you, Jeremy?”“I fancied her before, yes. After all, she’s a beautiful woman.” Jeremy’s tone was unfeeling as if he was talking about a random person
Chapter 1029
"Eveline!"Ryan was too late to stop it and quickly hailed a cab from the side of the road, wanting to chase after the car.He immediately dialed Madeline's number, but as soon as it connected, he was cut off.Worried about what crazy thing the people in the car would do, Ryan did not hesitate to return the call that was made to him just now. “Deploy Team A immediately. Get online and track my vehicle. Make sure that the people in the car are not in any danger!"The person on the other end received Ryan's instructions and immediately followed suit.Currently in Ryan's car.A shiny dagger was pressed against Madeline's neck, and in front of her, she saw Naomi clutching the steering wheel with one hand and squirming away frantically.She drove the car awkwardly and had run a few red lights.Madeline had just settled the matter of the charity night two days ago and only spared some time today to have a meal with Ryan. She did not expect Naomi to come to troubling them again at thi
