‘Thanks.’The word she uttered so softly lingered in his ear. However, it landed heavily on Jeremy’s heart.When Jeremy saw this stunning face in front of him, he felt as if he had turned into a sculpture. In that split second, he lost all of his senses and consciousness.He even felt that he might be dreaming.The beautiful face in front of him was so glaring.It was so painful!‘Maddie!’He could not control himself from screaming out her name in his heart.His heart that had fallen into a deep slumber for the past three years was abruptly woken up.Madeline smiled lightly when she saw Jeremy’s reaction.‘Are you surprised, Jeremy?‘The ex-wife you despise isn’t dead yet.‘However, I’m not that Madeline Crawford who loved you so much that she abandoned all self-respect, self-love, and even herself.’“I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll get going now.” Madeline retracted her hand and walked past Jeremy elegantly and calmly.When the

When he heard Madeline’s words, Jeremy’s face went cold.He pressed his thin lips tightly together and grabbed Madeline’s chin all of a sudden.Madeline did not expect him to do this. However, she managed to quickly dodge away. “Mr. Witman, you have a fiancée. Please have some respect for yourself.” She reminded him.However, Jeremy’s face was icy as he stared piercingly at Madeline. “You say you’re not her, but do you have the guts to show me your left chest area?”He would never forget the mole on Madeline’s left chest. It was extremely glaring on her fair and smooth skin.After he said that, Madeline’s face fell.“Mr. Whitman, are you joking? Do you think I’ll let you see that part of my body? Please let go of me.”He stared at the beautiful eyes in front of him. “Are you feeling guilty? Is that why you won’t show me? Madeline, why aren’t you dead yet?”‘Why didn’t you come back to me if you’re alive and well?’‘Why am I not dead yet?‘Am I such an obstacle in your life ju

After Jeremy heard that, his hands froze as they were trying to flip open the documents. “You’re dismissed.”Ken did not ask much before leaving.Jeremy flipped through the documents quickly, and the information on them was simple.Vera Quinn was from F Country. She grew up in F Country and had never come to Glendale before. She studied psychology in university and had lots of interests. There was close to zero information about her social life.It just stated that she had a very close male friend.Her boyfriend.Jeremy felt a thorn in his heart. When he first met her in KFC, he remembered she was wearing a ring on her ring finger.Was she engaged?Jeremy lit a cigarette and white smoke escaped from his lips. The smoke then blurred his expression.While looking at this photo, his mind started to wander.After a short while, Jeremy started to put his attention on Ava.Back then, Ava was the one who brought Madeline’s body to the funeral parlor. When he got there, she was the

Jeremy was already quite used to meeting her this way. He raised his eyebrows, gazing deeply at Madeline’s unblemished, picturesque face.He obviously did not forget that there used to be two deep wounds on the right side of Madeline’s face. Those wounds never really healed, up until the day she stopped breathing. However, the face in front of him had a flawless smile, and her skin was completely smooth. In short, she was stunning. “Miss Vera, our fates seem quite intertwined,” Jeremy said in a casual tone.Madeline looked at the man in front of her and let out a vibrant smile. “It seems like Mr. Whitman is quite sober today. You’re no longer mistaking me for your dead ex-wife.”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, looking quite dissatisfied. However, he did not voice it out and instead continued smiling as he said, “I wonder if I can have the honor of treating you to dinner?”Madeline knitted her eyebrows together. “Dinner might not be possible, but I’m free for lunch today.”Jere

When Meredith reached the place, she immediately saw Jeremy sitting next to the window. Even if she had only seen his back, Meredith would never mistaken him for anyone else.However, Meredith did not see another woman sitting in front of Jeremy. After thinking about it, she figured that the woman could have just gone to the washroom. Meredith did not bother greeting Jeremy and headed straight to the washroom instead.Looking around, she failed to find anyone who was wearing the same outfit as the woman in the picture she saw.Meredith cursed in her heart before tidying her appearance and putting on her best smile to go look for Jeremy. However, the moment she headed over, she noticed that Jeremy had disappeared as well.She hurried down the elevator but only managed to see Jeremy’s white-colored sports car speeding away in front of her, and in the passenger seat was a woman.Meredith gritted her teeth in anger, immediately calling Jeremy. The phone call went through, but no one a

Meredith felt like she was in trouble, so she once again put on a show of spraining her foot. She made Rose exaggerate the story of her injury to Jeremy, wanting to trick him into visiting her at the Montgomery household.The room was large and beautiful, elegantly decorated. Even the cloakroom was filled with various luxury goods.Meredith was obviously enjoying everything that should have belonged to Madeline. She had never felt a shred of remorse, and even Brittany’s death caused her to swell with pride at how decisively she handled it.Only an intelligent and capable woman like her deserved the life of the upper society.Madeline and Brittany were unworthy of being her opponents. As such, how could she possibly lose to Vera Quinn—a woman who had appeared out of nowhere?!While indulging in her own thoughts, Meredith heard the sound of Jeremy’s footsteps. She immediately lay in bed like a frail patient, putting on a pair of pitiful eyes. “Jeremy, you’ve come to see me.”Jere

When Meredith heard the voice, her eyes lit up in fury. These three years, she had been quite unhappy with Jeremy’s cold treatment. Now, this woman came out of nowhere to attract Jeremy’s attention, causing her to snap in anger.However, due to the incident at KFC, Meredith was working hard to control her temper. She put on a smile as she said, “So you’re that Vera woman who has been getting very close to my fiancé lately…”She said those words as she turned around. However, before she could even finish her sentence, she gazed upon Madeline’s beautiful and smiling face that instantly made her freeze.Her eyes widened as she gaped at the face in front of her in disbelief.“How, how… Madeline?!” Meredith’s tongue was tied as she retreated. “How is this possible…”She denied it in her heart.‘How is that possible?!‘That blind b*tch had long since turned into ashes, so how could she appear in front of me like this now!‘That’s impossible!’Madeline smiled as she looked at the r

“Miss Crawford, you’re free to shut up if you don’t know how to speak properly. No one will think you’re mute if you don’t talk. Mr. Crawford and I have done nothing out of the ordinary. Even if you don’t trust me, surely you should trust your own fiancé?”“You…”“If my memory serves me right, even Miss Crawford was a mistress before this. Don’t you think the words that are coming out of your mouth are quite funny?”Meredith was speechless as her face soured. She saw that the gazes surrounding them were quickly changing, so she adopted a look as if she was wronged.“Miss Quinn, I don’t know where you heard those rumors from, but I’ve always been together with Jeremy. It’s my sister Madeline who fell in love with him and hatched a plot to sleep with him, forcing Jeremy to marry her. Now, Madeline is already dead, so I don’t enjoy bringing this up, but I won’t allow anyone to insult me like that!”“You won’t allow anyone to insult you, but it’s fine if you insult me to my face?
