Chapter 2001
Karen had not thought that this woman would dare to speak to her like this.Her chest rose and fell fiercely. She was so angry that she could not speak for a while.Madeline hurried to appease her. “Mom, calm down. I’ll accompany you upstairs to rest for a while.”Karen waved her hand and her brows were furrowed tightly. “Don't worry about me. I don't understand what you are doing, and I don't want to care.Karen said and turned around. Before going upstairs, she stared at Hannah in displeasure and said, “I don't care what you two are doing, but if you want to join this family, it’ll be over my dead body!”Karen said harshly, her fury evident.Madeline and Jeremy shared a look. They felt apologetic in their hearts, but now that things had turned out this way, this was the only way.Although Hannah disliked Karen's attitude, she was happy that she could stay here.After working so long with the Grays, she felt that Gray Manor was very imposing and that it was not a place where a

Displeased, Hannah glared at Madeline. “What are you doing?”Madeline raised her sharp and stern eyes before saying aggressively, “I said, don't touch my things.”After she finished reminding Hannah in a cold tone, she swung Hannah’s hand away and turned around.“Leave. Don't disturb my work. You can enjoy afternoon tea at this time.”As Madeline spoke, she noticed that Hannah was not speaking, but Madeline heard some movements instead.She turned her head to look over and found that Hannah was still reaching out and grabbing the perfume she had just made.This was the only finished product at the present, and Madeline had made an appointment to let the client try out this perfume tonight.Hannah noticed Madeline’s eyebrows furrowing, so she probably realized that Madeline cared about the perfume a lot.She curled her lips into a smirk. She held the bottle of perfume high in her hand and then pretended to let go.“Eveline, you care about this perfume a lot, don’t you?”Hannah
Chapter 2003
Madeline and Jeremy stopped in their tracks at the same time.Hannah's eyes were full of grievances, and her beautiful face was unyielding.“Mr. Whitman, you have agreed that I’ll live in your house and that you’ll be responsible for me, but you still stay with Eveline every day. How are you going to help me settle down?”Hannah asked very bluntly, but when she asked that question, it made her seem ignorant and simplistic.However, how simplistic could a person, willing to be used by Carter to achieve her goals, be?After hearing this, Jeremy evidently did not want to bother explaining to Hannah. His arms around Madeline's shoulder tightened slightly as he lowered his gaze and whispered to Madeline.“Linnie, let’s not allow irrelevant people to affect our mood,” he said softly, his eyes were gentle and filled with love. “Let's go.”Madeline did not want to continue dealing with Hannah, so she smiled and nodded.Jeremy lifted his handsome face that instantly turned cold. After t

He gently held Madeline's hand; his deep and alluring eyes were guilt-ridden.“If I had remained vigilant at that time, then this horrible thing wouldn’t have happened,” Jeremy said guiltily. “When Hannah caused a scene the other day, her actions caused ripples that affected the shares of Whitman Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise.“If she continues to make trouble, Linnie, your projects and orders on hand will be terminated because of her.“Right now, you have to suffer this grievance. It’s the only way.”Listening to Jeremy slowly apologizing to her, Madeline smiled magnanimously.“I was the one who came up with this, so I don't feel wronged. We must prioritize this. Besides, I don't think Hannah can impact our relationship in any way. On the contrary, I don't think she deserves any sympathy.”Madeline's eyes revealed a rare icy but beautiful glint.“She had feelings about you from the beginning. And she’s not a good person, through and through. She can’t say anything about

Hannah, thinking that she would have to pester Madeline for a long time before Madeline would agree, had not expected Madeline to agree so readily.She smiled satisfactorily, but she looked pointedly at Madeline.“Since you’ve promised me, you can't go back on it.”“I won't take back what I said and the promises I made, but I want to remind you that perfume making is not an easy task, so don't give up halfway.”When she heard Madeline's words, Hannah let out a pejorative chuckle.“Thank you for being so considerate, but you can rest assured that I’ve suffered from all kinds of hardships since I was a child, so I’ve always been fearless, and I’m not afraid of hardship.”Based on Hannah’s words, Madeline finally understood why Hannah’s personality was so unrestrained.It turned out that it was all because of her life experience.However, being unrestrained was not a personality that was worth showing off.“Eveline, can I learn from you now?” Hannah asked impatiently.Madeline n

When she heard what Madeline had said, Hannah nodded gently, but her eyes were full of doubt and disdain. “Eveline, you seem very confident.”“If you don't have this confidence, customers wouldn’t pay a high price to ask me to make the perfume for them.”“Hmph.” Hannah chuckled, expressing her defiance. “I believe that no matter what it is, as long as you do it seriously, as long as you work hard at it, you’ll be rewarded! You may be good at perfume making, but practice makes perfect.”Madeline heard Hannah’s overconfident words, and Madeline did not want to make any rebuttals.She already knew that Hannah was like this.Apart from the times when she would be a little afraid in front of Carter, she was self-centered and quite conceited.Madeline said nothing. She merely allowed Hannah to stay with her in the laboratory.Hannah, who seemed very focused on learning, watched Madeline making perfume.During this time, Madeline went to the restroom and unexpectedly ran into Jeremy w
Chapter 2007
“Mess up?”Suspicious, Madeline raised her eyes and looked at Hannah, then she explained the situation in a calm tone.“What kind of mess up do you mean? A contract is signed for every order, and both parties are obligated to abide by the rules of the contract.”Hannah had never dealt with business matters before, so when Madeline asked, she was dumbfounded.However, of course, she wanted to ask what would happen if Madeline was the one who messed up.After thinking about it, Hannah spoke nonchalantly.“I’m also a member of the Whitman family, so I’m concerned about the situation in the Whitman Corporation, of course. What do you think I’m asking?”“A member of the Whitman family?”Madeline curled her lips slightly into a smile when she heard those terms.Hannah inexplicably felt that Madeline was mocking her when she saw Madeline’s smile.“What are you smiling at? Aren’t you the one who agreed to let me join the family? Mr. Whitman also said that he would be responsible for

“Who is this?”Madeline glanced at Hannah and introduced, “She just started learning with me…”“Hello, Mr. Sutton. My name is Hannah Bolton, and I am Mr. Whitman's person.”“...” Mr. Sutton was stunned.Madeline knew that Hannah had said this on purpose, and she also knew that the client had misunderstood.She smiled slightly and casually corrected Hannah, “This is Miss Bolton, and she just started to learn perfume making with me. She currently lives in Whitman Manor because of work requirements, so she is considered a guest of the Whitmans.”Upon hearing this, the client looked dazed. “I see.”“Yes.” Madeline smiled and nodded in affirmation.Hannah glared at Madeline in displeasure. When she wanted to emphasize her relationship with Jeremy, Madeline suddenly looked at her with a sharp look.Hannah had never seen Madeline look at her like this. The piercing glint in Madeline’s eyes was icy cold, and it instantly fell on Hannah’s face in a breathtaking manner.Hannah did not
