“Linnie, I have to discuss something with you.”Madeline knew immediately what was going on. “Since you came to see me in such a hurry, did that person send you something strange again? Is it because you’re worried that something might happen to me?”Jeremy looked at Madeline in surprise. “Linnie, how did you know?”“Because I saw it.”“You saw it?”“Yeah.” Madeline explained, “When I first arrived at my dad's office, it felt like someone was watching me. But the moment I wanted to go out, my dad came in.”Upon hearing this, Jeremy became more worried.He handed the photo he received to Madeline not long ago. After a glance, Madeline was still very calm.“Jeremy, you really don't have to worry about me too much. I know how to handle this.”“Then, you should tell me about what you know. Who’s trying to be so mysterious?”Madeline smiled. “We all know this person, and didn't she warn us a while ago?”After hearing what Madeline said, a face gradually appeared in Jeremy's mind.
Chapter 2115
Jeremy did not want to hear Madeline persuade himself in any euphemistic way, but as he listened to Madeline, he started to slowly come to a compromise.After Madeline finished telling him her suggestion, she raised her eyes and blinked at the serious-looking man. “What do you think, honey? Is this a good idea?”Jeremy looked at the eyes as bright as the stars in front of him and nodded almost strangely. “Okay, I’ll listen to my wife.”Very satisfied with Jeremy's answer, Madeline smiled sweetly and pecked Jeremy's cheek lightly.Jeremy was delighted, and he hugged Madeline.“Darling, let's go to sleep. We’ll get a good night's sleep and deal with the troublesome people and troubles tomorrow.”“Okay.”Madeline agreed.Since she went to bed early, Madeline woke up early the next day.When she got up, she went to prepare breakfast for Jackson and checked his schoolbag. After that, she sat at one side and watched her son eat.Jackson saw Madeline's gaze on him so he could not he

It had happened so suddenly that Jackson was stunned.Madeline intuitively tried to protect Jackson when suddenly a knife was placed at her back.“Eveline, drive where I tell you to.”The commanding voice of a woman came from behind her, and Madeline raised her eyes to glance at the rearview mirror. She was not surprised at the face that appeared in the mirror.“Eveline, did you hear me? I asked you to drive!”“Why are you yelling at my mommy? Hurry up and get that dangerous thing away from my mommy!” Jackson tried to stop her.“Hmph, you little thing. I’d suggest that you do not talk. If you dare to speak again, I won’t be so courteous toward you!” the woman threatened.“I'm driving now. Don’t argue with a child.” Madeline glanced in the rearview mirror, lowered her eyes to Jackson, and hinted at him, “Jack, don't worry about me. She’s just playing a game with me.”“Eveline, who wants to play games with you? You better know what’s good for you and don’t pull any stupid tricks!
Chapter 2117
Realizing this, Hannah suddenly flustered.“Eveline, you’ve been playing tricks on me this whole time.”“I didn't. You told me yourself you wouldn’t let this rest so easily,” Madeline replied calmly.“You…”Hannah’s eyes turned red from anger. She then suddenly took a sharp fruit knife from her pocket and pointed it to Madeline.“You’ve been playing me like a monkey!” Hannah roared out, looking very aggressive. “I will not let you leave today! I will definitely not let you leave! Ah!”Suddenly, Hannah lost control of her emotions and rushed toward Madeline.At this moment, the door of the rooftop was kicked open and a figure rushed toward Hannah’s side like a sharp sword being pulled out of its sheath.Hannah was pushed over by a strong force. When she looked up and saw clearly, Jeremy had come to Madeline's side, tightly protecting her in his arms.Hannah gritted her teeth fiercely. When she got up to continue attacking Madeline, Jeremy suddenly lifted his long legs and kicke

“Hallucinations? Have I been hallucinating it all?” Hannah asked, but her eyes turned malevolent. “Eveline, do you think I don't know? You just made up such a lie to prevaricate me because you don’t want me to seek justice for myself. I’m not a three-year-old kid. I can tell right from wrong!”“You can't. When you lost consciousness, you didn’t even know that you had merely been dreaming.”Madeline still patiently explained, “Hannah, if you don’t believe it, you can go to a hospital for an examination. The doctor will tell you your current physical condition, and you’ll immediately know that your body is still intact because everything you thought has happened is just a dream in your head.”“A dream? Heh.”Hannah smiled bitterly. The redness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and endless tears escaped from her eyes.“So, all this while, I’ve been the dramatic one? I was just having wishful thinking of ending up with Mr. Whitman. And I even went to the lobby of Whitman Corporation

Jeremy was not joking. His sharp eyes told Hannah that he did not have the patience to be kind to her. His tolerance for her had already reached its limit.After Jeremy had said that, Hannah momentarily fell silent.She looked at Jeremy dazedly, thinking about her wishful thinking of wanting to end up with this man who had done nothing but ignore her until the very end. She then felt even more disrespected and humiliated.When she heard Jeremy talking to her like that, even though Hannah’s heart was ridden with fear, she felt that Jeremy was just scaring her and that he would not really let go. Moreover, Madeline would never allow him to let go even if he would.After thinking about it, Hannah braced herself, gritted her teeth, and said, “Just let go! I didn't even ask you two to help me. Mr. Whitman, if you’re siding with this woman, you should just side with her till the end. Out of sight, out of mind. Let go now!”Hannah looked sterned and seemed to be welcoming death, but her

Hannah looked at Madeline who approached her, and after a brief pause, she cried even harder now.Madeline knelt slowly. “Don't cry.”Through Hannah's misty and teary eyes, she saw a clean handkerchief appearing in front of her.“Wipe your tears. Stop crying.” Madeline comforted, “If someone who cares about you knows that you’re crying so hard now, they will definitely feel distressed.”Upon hearing Madeline's words, Hannah laughed self-mockingly and spoke slowly.“I’ve been the apple of my family’s eyes since I was a child, and my parents regarded me as their treasure. Gradually, I became very proud and complacent. I went to Gray Manor to be a maid not because I wanted to be a maid, but to prove myself.”As Hannah said that, she cried even harder.Madeline squatted in front of Hannah, quietly and patiently listening to Hannah talk about the dissatisfaction and depression in her heart.“Soon after that, I was able to prove myself because only exceptional girls could work as mai

Madeline stood up and reached out to Hannah.“Get up.”After hearing Madeline's urging, Hannah lifted her head and she dazedly stared at Madeline's palm outstretched in front of her.How could this be?Was this not her hallucination?“Even if we can’t be friends, we don’t have to be enemies, right?”Madeline asked with a generous smile, and her palm moved closer to Hannah.Hannah felt more ashamed in her heart when she saw Madeline’s warm smile.“I’m sorry.”Finally, those two words came out of Hannah's mouth.She did not have the slightest perfunctory or hypocrisy. This apology was entirely sincere.Madeline curled her lips into a smile. “I accept your apology.”As she said that, she shook her hand lightly.Hannah instantly understood Madeline's meaning, and she finally reached out her hand to gently hold Madeline's hand.At that moment, she felt her palm turning warm in the cold winter wind.This warm touch slowly reached all the way to her heart.“Thank you, Eveline.
