Chapter 126
“Don’t do it! Jeremy!” Madeline shouted, but Jeremy ignored her.She stared as he raised his hand, tossing that important earring right into the lake. Madeline’s heart froze, she had no more cards to play.However, the heavens really might be helping her. There was a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the earring did not fall in, instead landing on the ice!Jeremy was obviously very unhappy. He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to think of what to do when Madeline ran across like the wind.He stared in disbelief as Madeline suddenly ran like crazy toward the lake, just to retrieve that earring. The thin ice was quite a distance from the shores, and Madeline could not reach it. She tried to find a tree branch to hook the earring over, but she was afraid she would accidentally push the earring into the lake. Seeing that, Jeremy walked to her side, pulling Madeline up. “Madeline, what are you doing?”“Mr. Whitman, can’t you see? I’m trying to retrieve some evidence, evidence that M

Jeremy unhappily knocked at the door. “Madeline, open the door.”“Jeremy, just leave, I don’t want to see you.” Madeline coldly rejected him, turning around to leave.She hid the earring before taking a bath. Changing into some dry and comfortable clothes before turning the heater on, finally warming herself up. Madeline looked at the time, and more than half an hour had passed. Jeremy should have already left. She walked to the door and listened, making sure she could hear nothing outside before opening the door. The moment she opened the door, Jeremy’s long and handsome figure was right in front of her! His entire body was still wet, even his hair was dripping, and his expression did not look too good. His deep eyes stared at Madeline, causing her heart to skip a beat. She did not expect him to stay in front of the door despite it being a windy winter day.Madeline was shocked, and her first response was to close the door, but it was blocked by Jeremy’s hand. He used a littl

Madeline froze in her steps, she did not believe what she just heard, but she felt Jeremy’s grip on her tighten. “Linnie…”He was calling her Linnie.What a familiar yet foreign name. Madeline’s eyes suddenly reddened, staring at Jeremy’s sleeping face, her vision slowly blurred. Remembering the chance encounter all those years ago, Madeline’s heart felt a sense of longing.“Mer, don’t worry, what I’ve promised you, I’ll definitely make it happen…”Madeline’s heart that had just begun to warm suddenly froze yet again. She bit her lips as she pulled her hand away. The Linnie Jeremy was crying out for was not her, it was Meredith. That was true, Meredith currently called herself Eveline Montgomery.Madeline felt incredibly humiliated, laughing at herself as she left. She really deserved the pain she felt right now, how could she feel anything for that man even after all that has happened?Madeline bought the fever medication, and just as she was about to wake Jeremy up, his

Madeline had a calm expression. “Mr. Whitman, please leave after you finish eating, it would be best if you stop coming back from now on.”Jeremy smiled as he said, “Madeline, why do you need to pretend you want me away from you? You were so into it when I kissed you during the day!”“Don’t mention that anymore!” Madeline said, losing control of herself for a moment. “Jeremy Whitman, you’ve disappointed me too much.”“So what? It won’t change the fact that you love me.”Madeline was so angry she felt like exploding. Her heart hurt, and so did her stomach.“I loved you once, but now, even being touched by you disgusts me!”Hearing those words, the food in Jeremy’s mouth stopped tasting good. He put down his utensils, getting up, and walking toward Madeline.Madeline felt something was wrong, so she turned around to leave. However, Jeremy was much faster, with both his hands, he pinned her against the wall. Madeline did not dare look at Jeremy, but he bent his head, deliberately

Madeline struggled to breathe, her face red as she forced a smile. “Slander? Jeremy, do you know what slander truly is?”“Jeremy, when you were dreaming in the afternoon, did you not dream of our dead child? Has your consciousness never hurt for it?” Madeline looked at the man that had a conflicted expression.“That child was not mine.” He said through clenched teeth, his eyes coldly gazing at Madeline, but there was a sliver of doubt in them.Madeline laughed, her tears dropping on Jeremy’s hands. Jeremy suddenly felt it was abnormally hot, burning him until he let go of Madeline’s throat. He uncomfortably avoided Madeline's case, starting the car.“If you don’t want to die, then stop provoking me.”Madeline inhaled deeply, not speaking again.At least for the moment, she really did not want to die. She wanted to live until Meredith’s true face was revealed. Madeline was forcefully brought to the hospital by Jeremy. Meredith was in the VIP ward, and Madeline could vaguely he

Her heart had long since been hurt so much that it could never recover again, but now, these people still wanted to continue hurting her. Eloise turned around, shooting a hateful gaze at Madeline. “Madeline! Just look at what you’ve done to Meredith. Jeremy was Meredith’s fiancé, but you used despicable means to snatch him away. Now, you even called Meredith with Jeremy’s phone and said those shameless things to hurt her! Do you have no shame?!”Madeline finally understood what was going on. Meredith plotted this suicide scheme during the phone call she received when Jeremy was having a fever.Madeline pursed her lips while smiling at Meredith. “Meredith, just keep on lying. Aren’t you just hoping that Jeremy and I will get a divorce so that you, the mistress, can take my spot? Isn’t that why you did this? Then listen to me. Even if I die, I’ll keep holding onto the title of Mrs. Whitman!”The moment she finished those words, Madeline received a slap from Eloise.“Shameless!” she
Chapter 132
Madeline looked at Jeremy’s determined promise to Meredith. It was just a few simple words, but they caused Madeline boundless pain.It would seem like they were only suited to leave each. Madeline slowly teared up. She saw Meredith looking at Jeremy with a face full of tears. “Jeremy, are you telling the truth? Will you really marry me?”Jeremy looked at her tenderly. “Of course, it’s true. I’ll definitely fulfil my promise.”“Jeremy, we finally won’t have to hide our love...” Meredith hugged Jeremy tightly, crying into his chest.She turned her face around, showing Madeline a sly and evil look.Beside them, Eloise was elated. She then shot a hateful glance at Madeline.Her suffering and pain threatened to spill out as Madeline clenched her fists. She turned to leave.Jeremy noticed that Madeline was leaving and looked over. He gently pushed Meredith aside, looking like he was going to leave.Meredith pulled onto his shirt. “Jeremy, are you reluctant to leave Madeline?” “N

As she said that, Jeremy’s exquisite face seemed to freeze. His eyes glared piercingly at her. “Madeline, what did you say? What’s the meaning of this?”Thinking that she would be dead soon and remembering her laughable wish that she had held onto for over ten years, Madeline’s eyes reddened as she smiled at Jeremy. “What I mean is, I won’t let that fake b*tch Meredith get what she wants. Even if I die, I’ll bring the title of Mrs. Whitman with me!” Madeline’s red eyes widened, her tears falling against her wishes.“Jeremy, even if you’re disgusted with me and hate me, it’ll never change the fact that I am your wife!” Saying that, Madeline felt excruciating pain in her heart.A lifetime’s worth of her love and passion had been poured onto him. It started with love, and it was now going to end because of love. Now, their love had soured, and everything was going up in smoke. However, why did her heart still hurt so much?Was death the only escape she could have from her pain?
