Chapter 136
Madeline was so petrified that her face had turned pale. She wanted to run, but she was trapped.Jeremy pinched her cheek and forced her to look at him.She kept shaking her head as she struggled. “No! Jeremy, don’t touch me! Let go!”“You were so happy when Daniel kissed you, but now you’re so reluctant when I touch you?”Looking at Madeline’s conflicting and resisting gaze, Jeremy’s face was grim while his eyes were extremely icy.“Madeline, look closely. I’m your husband.” His deep and seductive voice sounded next to Madeline’s ear. In the next second, she felt him biting her shoulder.“I don’t want this, Jeremy!”She knew what he was going to do to her, and it made her so scared that even her bones were shaking.However, it was as if the man was possessed. He ripped her clothes garment by garment before devouring her viciously.Madeline fell asleep groggily. She had a dream that she had gone back to the happiest time of her life.However, when she woke up, the reality was

She did not know where she was. When she opened her eyes, she saw Meredith towering over her while looking down on her disdainfully.“You’re awake? I thought you were dead. It’d be so boring if you were.”Meredith scoffed and squatted. She then grabbed Madeline’s face.Looking at the disfigured yet pretty face, Meredith was so jealous that malice started filling her eyes.“Madeline, I underestimated you. Even at a time like this, you could still seduce men!” She grabbed Madeline’s wound that had just started to heal. “How did you seduce Jeremy? With your pitiful eyes?”Madeline finally understood what was happening after she heard what Meredith said.Meredith knew about him spending the night with her. Plus, Meredith even successfully imagined the scene of them entangled in bed.She scoffed and burst out laughing. She was laughing sarcastically and at the same time, she was laughing while feeling pleased. “Are you mad? Looks like Jeremy doesn’t love you that much, huh? If he doe

Due to the effects of the tranquilizer, Madeline did not know long she was unconscious for.When she finally regained consciousness, she felt numbness in her arm. Then, she felt a stinging pain in her eyes.She opened her eyes slowly and noticed that her vision was blurry. It was even near to complete darkness.Was it nighttime?When she remembered what Meredith said before knocking her unconscious, Madeline sat up quickly and ignored her wounds. Madeline felt about the floor frantically in the darkness.Photo…Her child’s photo!Madeline started searching in the dark. However, she did not see anything nor feel anything.She took out her phone from her pocket and pressed the screen hurriedly. However, the screen would not light up. Did it run out of battery?As she contemplated that, she felt something that felt like a card with her fingertips. She was sure that it was the photo Meredith had thrown at her before she passed out.Madeline picked it up happily. She put it in fro

After she left the station, a smile appeared on Madeline’s face.She could finally convict Meredith of the crime she did.If they were able to find Brittany’s blood on the earring, then Meredith would be unable to defend herself.Madeline was waiting to receive updates from the police, but she still got nothing after two days.She was unable to wait anymore, so she went to the police station again. However, she ran into Meredith and Jeremy at the entrance of the station.Madeline could not see who they were from a distance. She was holding an umbrella while standing in the rain. She could only hear Meredith’s voice from a mile away.“Jeremy, why won’t Madeline leave me alone? Will she only be happy if I die?” After Meredith said this, she saw Madeline. Her voice sounded surprised. “Maddie?”Madeline tried to open her eyes, then she vaguely saw Meredith’s face getting close to her.“Maddie, what can I do for you to leave me alone? Why did you accuse me of killing Brit? Brit is m

The rain became heavier while Madeline was still kneeling on the wet floor. Her hands fumbled frantically around her.Cars drove past her and splashed water on her again and again. However, she still could not find her umbrella.Jeremy was about to start the car, but he could not help but keep looking at the rearview mirror.Meredith noticed this and immediately shifted Jeremy’s attention. “Jeremy, let’s go. We need to bring Jack to check his face.”Jeremy turned his head. “Don’t worry, there won’t be a scar on Jack’s face.”“I didn’t think that Maddie would hate me to this extent. I also didn’t think my father would ask people to slash Maddie on the face just to avenge me and Jack,” Meredith said innocently.“Jeremy, you won’t blame my father, right?”“You dummy, why would I blame him?” Jeremy smiled.He looked at the rearview mirror again. He saw Madeline standing up after finding her umbrella. Then, he watched her walk away while following the path. He scoffed in a fit of un

Jeremy’s face became colder. “Madeline, I’m asking you to sign the papers.”“I won’t do it,” Madeline finally said, her tone sounding oddly calm.Jeremy saw Madeline sitting in front of him coldly and motionlessly while her eyes were on somewhere else. She did not once look into his eyes. Jeremy felt anger rising in his chest. “Madeline, don’t try to challenge my patience. You know the consequences to that.”When she was faced with his threats and warnings, Madeline did not have any fear on her face. On the contrary, she smiled.“Jeremy, I’ll tell you this one last time. I won’t sign your divorce papers. If you want to marry Meredith, sure. Then you should just wait for me to sue you for bigamy.”“Madeline Crawford!” Jeremy was completely enraged. “I’m going to ask you one last time as well. Are you signing or not?”“No!” Madeline said firmly.Jeremy’s face became icy. When he saw that Madeline was still acting arrogant and refusing to look at him, he strode over to her and forc

After he said that, Madeline felt a warmth on the back of her handJeremy held her hand tightly and forced her to sign her name ‘Madeline Crawford’ on the last page.It was her name but in his handwriting. After Jeremy was done, he swung her hand aside and pulled the papers away. He looked at the name on the paper and felt an uneasiness in his heart. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he also felt an abnormally heavy weight pressing on him.He lowered his eyes and looked at Madeline who was still on the floor. Her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes. Other than that, there was also blood on her lips as if she had bitten her lip too hard. She looked battered and pitiful.Jeremy frowned. “Madeline, do you have any requests?”“500,000 dollars,” she said without hesitating.After Jeremy heard that, he scoffed in disdain. “It looks like you came prepared. I’ll ask someone to transfer the money into your account immediately.”After he said that, his phone rang.When

Jeremy held the steering wheel even tighter. He was starting to suspect whether his eyes were not working. However, it was obvious that Madeline was the one whose eyes were not working.She was blind.She was really blind.She was not joking earlier when she had difficulty signing the divorce papers. It was real.However, she was just fine previously. Why was she blind now?Jeremy watched as Madeline crawled on the ground as she looked for something while sobbing. He felt that it was getting hard to breathe and even felt like he was going to suffocate. The snow was getting heavier and even rain started to fall.The people around her started to leave, leaving the street empty. However, Madeline was still looking for something.She was crying. She was so anxious, looking like a child who had lost their favorite toy.Jeremy got out of the car while feeling dispirited. He slowly walked toward Madeline, his footsteps feeling abnormally heavy.However, she did not notice his prese
