Chapter 1523
Madeline walked to the door of the office. When she was about to lift her hand to knock, she could see that there was no one inside through the glass.She pushed the glass door open curiously. After she went in, she placed the document on the desk.She was curious about where Jeremy had gone to when the landline on the desk started ringing.Madeline picked it up since she was there. Then, she heard a man’s voice from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Whitman, the final proposal for ZS has been sent to your inbox this morning. The customer is urging us pretty urgently, so please reply to me as soon as possible. I’ll be waiting here.”After Madeline heard this, she replied naturally, “I’ll tell Mr. Whitman about this. Please hold on.”The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback when he heard the hoarse sound of a woman. After a few seconds, he replied, “Thanks.”“You’re welcome.” After Madeline said that, she hung up the phone.She wanted to call Jeremy, but she notice

“It feels like a waste if I don’t hire you as my secretary,” Jeremy said as if he was feeling rueful. Suddenly, he walked over to Madeline and said, “Do you want to be my secretary? The kind who’s always around me no matter the time and place?”“...”Madeline felt as if she had never seen Jeremy like this before. He was saying this in such a serious manner and yet there was a frivolous smirk on his handsome face.This should not be the expression he should have.Madeline had nothing to say to that. However, Jeremy took one step closer to her.His body towered over hers, and his aura that was like a shadow quickly enveloped Madeline.Madeline sensed that something was amiss with Jeremy. She took a step back, but Jeremy suddenly grabbed her wrist.“Are you declining my invitation?” There was a smile on his lips, and beneath his bottomless eyes, there was an unclear sense of sentiment.Madeline tried to control herself and pretended to be calm. “Mr. Whitman, you’re different from

‘What?’Madeline widened her crystal clear eyes, and for a moment, she could not understand what Jeremy just said.However, while she was feeling confused, Jeremy suddenly lifted her face. Through the thin layer of her mask, he leaned down and pressed his lips against Madeline’s lips.“...”Madeline widened her eyes in shock. She had no words to describe how she was feeling now.‘Jeremy, what’s wrong with you?’Madeline thought she was pretty quick-witted, but at this moment, she could not see through Jeremy at all.When she came back to her senses to push Jeremy away, she could feel his fingers landing on her ear. He wanted to take off her mask.Madeline lifted her hand abruptly and grabbed his hand.“Jeremy Whitman.”She was calling him by his full name.Jeremy lifted his alluring eyes and looked into Madeline’s infuriated ones.“Mr. Whitman, don’t forget that you’re someone with a family,” Madeline reminded him.“Of course, I know that.” Jeremy smirked, his expression s

“Are you only treating me like this because my eyes look like your wife’s, Mr. Whitman?”“I told you, it’s the feeling.”Jeremy emphasized seriously. He tilted his handsome face down and approached the space between Madeline’s neck and shoulder. While she was not paying attention, he planted a soft kiss on her neck.Madeline felt a surge of strong electricity across her heart, and she knew she had been successfully seduced by Jeremy.“Don’t you think you’re letting your wife Eveline down by doing this, Mr. Whitman?”“I don’t think so.”“...”Jeremy’s direct answer caused Madeline to be speechless.‘Jeremy, you b*stard. How dare you say no when you didn’t even stop to think about it.”Bang!Madeline slammed the coffee cup in her hand down and escaped from Jeremy’s arms.“I won’t serve you and make you coffee anymore. I also won’t stay with you the entire night to help you reorganize your documents!” After Madeline roared furiously, she pushed the man in front of her away and

What else could Madeline not handle after experiencing so much?She could even guess what Ada had said to Carter’s mother. Indeed, Carter’s mother then asked in an extremely displeased tone, “Are you the mistress Carter is hiding from the world after a meticulous selection process?”Madeline was stunned when she heard this. She wanted to say she had nothing to do with being someone’s mistress or the meticulous selection process the woman mentioned.However, after some serious consideration about how Ada was deliberately targeting her with malicious intentions, Madeline could only smile and nod.“Yes, Aunty. Carter said I’m his girlfriend.”“Who are you calling ‘Aunty’? Don’t you address people willy-nilly!” Carter’s mother corrected. Even though she looked extremely pissed, one could still see that she was educated and refined from her every move.Even though she was mad, she still looked poised.“Miss, I don’t care what stage you’re at with Carter, but as his mother, I will nev

“Shameless?” Madeline snorted and asked, “I think the behavior of barging here and calling oneself the matriarch of the family with thick skin even when one knows the man doesn’t like her is even more shameless, don’t you think?”“...”“...”Ada’s stunning face was covered with dark clouds after she heard what Madeline said.Of course, she knew Madeline was mocking her!She immediately looked at her mother.Ada’s mother understood quickly and retorted Madeline angrily, “You freak! You don’t even have the right to stand here and you have the audacity to talk big to me? Who are you? Do you know who we are?“Hmph! How dare a disfigured woman like you be so delusional to think that you’ll have a chance to end up with Carter? You’re having such an unrealistic dream!’’The woman rattled off, and everything she said sounded extremely ear-piercing.Madeline noticed Carter’s mother frowning. It was as if she also could not stand Ada’s mother acting like a shrew in front of her.Howeve

Carter walked over from the door lazily. He was wearing a black suit and looked as if he was just back from finishing his business.When he walked next to Camille Abbot, he stopped walking. There was finally a grin on his emotionless face.Camille looked like she was satisfied when she saw her son. “Carter.”She called out to Carter and spread her arms to hug him for a while. They even placed their faces close to each other intimately.Their style of greeting was pretty European.After Carter let go, he said warmly, “Why didn’t you tell me before you came over?”Camille looked at Madeline. “Why? Are you worried that I’ll scare your girlfriend by coming here unannounced?”Carter looked at Madeline after he heard that. The smile on his face grew wider. “Eveline is tough, so she won’t get shocked by just this.”“Oh? Really? You know your girlfriend pretty well, then,” Camille said profoundly. Then, her gaze landed on Madeline again.Madeline was still wearing her mask, but her be

Camille knew what this woman was trying to do because she was siding with Ada and her mother. “Carter, since you’re dating Miss Montgomery, then shouldn’t you let me see what she looks like? She’s a little disrespectful for having the mask on this whole time, don’t you think?”Carter looked at Madeline after he heard that. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to grab Madeline’s hand.Madeline could not escape from him, and her hand was hurting from his grip.“Eveline hurt her face in an accident and hasn’t recovered yet. I hope you can understand, Mom.”“She hasn’t recovered yet? How long has it been? Will she never recover?” Camille asked continuously, and her expression suddenly looked very solemn. “Carter, you should know the first rule for every daughter-in-law of the Louis family is that they have to have a dignified and fitting appearance.”Actually, Madeline did not mind their standards for their daughters-in-law. After all, she was just a person Carter was using. Besides, she
