Chapter 1979
When Madeline said that, Jeremy suddenly felt like he was at a loss.However, it was understandable that she wanted to be by herself.“Linnie, I'll be outside the study. Call me if you need me,” Jeremy said and was about to turn around and go out.However, Madeline grabbed his hand. “Jeremy, your injury isn’t healed yet, so move as little as possible. I'll wait in the room for a bit.”After she said that, Madeline let go of Jeremy's hand and walked toward the door to the study.Jeremy's heart suddenly became empty.If his leg hurt, so, too, did her scalded foot. However, at this moment, nothing hurt more than her heart.Jeremy was truly irritated. He really had been careless back then. He had not kept his guard up against the maid, so he did not think that there was a problem with the cake.He recalled the situation in detail, and there was still a particular scene in his mind that he did not want to remember. How could he touch a woman other than his Linnie?He could not acce

‘Are you so disappointed in me that you don’t want to care about this?’Countless questions appeared in Jeremy’s heart. He was so conflicted that it hurt.Madeline, who seemed to see through what Jeremy was thinking, smiled and held Jeremy’s slightly stiff hand.“I’ll be lying if I say I don’t mind, but this isn’t your fault. Carter was the one who had deliberately done this. His goal was to cause a misunderstanding between us, but I won’t let him get what he wants.”Madeline’s heart was clear.“Jeremy, we’ve been through far too much throughout this journey, and it’s been very challenging. It’s impossible for me to not feel the feelings you have for me up to this day. And that’s why I don’t want to let other people influence us. Just let time wash away those unhappy memories, okay?”After listening to what Madeline had said, Jeremy was slightly moved.His Linnie understood him, and instead of blaming him in any way, she still comforted him.Jeremy, however, blamed himself even
Chapter 1981
The woman suddenly stopped Coco who was about to leave. The woman then lifted her pejorative gaze to peer at Madeline.“Why are you asking this woman to leave? Eveline, are you afraid to talk to me justly and honorably?” The woman chuckled softly, but her eyes looked abnormally arrogant.When Coco saw this, she knew this woman came here to cause trouble.However, Madeline remained smiling calmly.“Are you here to talk to me or are you here to chat with my secretary? We’re all adults, and I know what you’re thinking, so don’t waste time. Coco, you should go on with your business. No need to make the coffee.”“...” The woman’s face froze when she heard that.Coco, who immediately understood what Madeline meant, nodded, turned around, and left.Even though she was curious why this woman was here, she did not have the habit of snooping. She thus closed the door and left.Inside the reception room.Elegantly, Madeline turned around, pulled out a chair, and sat down.She had a domi

Upon looking at the maid at this moment, Madeline was already trying her best to keep her emotions under control. However, when she heard what the maid said, she subconsciously furrowed her brows.“Carter tried to set you up with my husband?” Madeline asked curiously. “So, you’re saying that you knew something would happen between you and my husband?”When Hannah saw Madeline looking shocked, she felt much relieved for some reason.She crossed her arms and laughed proudly. “I didn’t know how Mr. Carter would try to get us together. When I found out, I didn’t mind. I’m willing to sacrifice everything for someone I like, including my body!”“...”The maid’s words shocked Madeline. She could not understand what Hannah was saying. Was this something a self-respecting woman would say?Obviously not.Hannah was not an ordinary person.Madeline slowly stood up; the polite smile could no longer be seen on her beautiful, petite face.“So, Miss Bolton, what do you want?”“I want Jeremy
Chapter 1983
“Miss Bolton, you just said that you knew Carter was setting you up with my husband. You also knew Carter was using such an unethical method to ‘match’ you and my husband, didn’t you?”Madeline reminded Hannah of what she had just said.Hannah froze for a moment. She still did not quite understand what Madeline wanted to express.However, what Madeline said next quickly woke her up.“So, Miss Bolton, you had done it knowingly. Not only did you not reject Carter's so-called ‘kind arrangement’, but you also thought that you were giving yourself up nobly. Is that true?”“...” Hannah had an embarrassed look on her face; her eyes seemed to dart around hurriedly.“You voluntarily and knowingly acted when my husband was only faintly conscious, so my husband is the only victim in this matter. What right do you have to talk about taking responsibility? My husband should be the one holding you accountable.”After hearing these words from Madeline, Hannah's face fell. “Eveline, you…”“Shu

Madeline frowned slightly. This was unexpected. Hannah was more arrogant than Madeline had thought.This girl seemed to only be in her twenties, but her temper was truly ferocious.However, her willfulness might also be due to her youth.It was still working hours, and there were not many people in the lobby downstairs of the company, but Hannah was crying and shrieking very loudly.Madeline walked over, clicking her heels, exuding a very domineering aura.Some confused employees were recording videos with their mobile phones. When they saw Madeline coming, they immediately put down their phones and pretended to be busy with their work.Hannah, too, saw Madeline coming, but she did not stop making a fuss.With a sad look on her face, she lifted her eyes, pretending to only have seen Madeline now, and then she suddenly turned and ran towards Madeline.As soon as she ran up to Madeline, she grabbed Madeline's sleeves, and with a sob, she said, “Miss Montgomery, I know I was wrong
Chapter 1985
Madeline had very keen observation skills. She could tell what tricks this woman had up her sleeves.However, just when Madeline was about to take precautions, Hannah suddenly took out a fruit knife from her pocket!Hannah stood up abruptly, holding the fruit knife in one hand, and aimed it at her wrist.A timid female employee around them screamed in terror.Madeline looked at Hannah's reaction, and of course, she knew that this was one of the woman’s methods.However, Madeline asked Coco to call the police and an ambulance, just in case.The number of people who came to watch this gradually began to increase, and Hannah also felt that it was almost time to continue the second act of the performance.She held the fruit knife and looked at her wrist as if she was struggling.Madeline, who had guessed Hannah's motives, did not panic in any way. “Hannah, please stop your irrational behavior. If you want to use this to achieve your goals, you are still too naive.”Upon seeing Mad
Chapter 1986
The clanging sound of something falling onto the ground then followed. Madeline, who suddenly had a thought, immediately turned around and looked back, and then she saw bright red blood dripping down from Hannah's left wrist and the blood-stained fruit knife which had already fallen to the ground.In barely a moment, Hannah's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and glared hatefully at Madeline. “Eveline, if I die, you’re the murderer.”After gritting her teeth and saying these words, her body gradually fell limp to the ground.With Hannah’s life at stake, Madeline did not care about Hannah's unreasonable and savage behavior, and she strode forward and held Hannah instead.However, Hannah broke away from Madeline."I don't need your help, Eveline. Stop being so hypocritical. You just want me to die!”Hannah pulled Madeline's sleeve with all her strength.“Everyone, look. This woman, Eveline Montgomery, is the one who forced me to my death! It’s all because I had a one-night
