Nonetheless, Madeline shook her head and smiled bitterly. What was the difference between telling him and not telling him?He would not care about her. To Jeremy, it would be best if she died.For the sake of the child in her stomach, Madeline had to live positively.The doctor told her that the child was counteracting her.The more the child grew inside her, the worse Madeline would become since the little dumpling’s position was directly above the tumor that would worsen day by day.Madeline submitted countless resumes online, and they elicited no response. However, in the end, she got an order.It was from a small company. They wanted Madeline to design a pair of rings, and they offered her a decent price.Of course, Madeline accepted the order. She worked the entire day in her room and only came downstairs to make some food.The child was three months old. However, it was winter, so she did not look like she was pregnant while wearing her sweater.During this period, Jerem

When Ava heard this, she became worried. “Madeline, Crawford, what on earth are you saying?”“I’m serious.” Madeline smiled lightly. She looked at the azure ocean in front of her, and the beautiful memories resurfaced in her head once again.“This is where Jeremy and I pledged our love to each other,” she said before quickly correcting herself, “Or rather, this is where my one-sided love began.”Ava was stunned. Then, her brain registered what was going on. “So this is the place where you first met each other.”Madeline nodded and closed her eyes. The sunlight shone down on her round but bony face. “Back then, he told me, ‘Linnie, when we grow up, I’ll take you as my bride’.”Madline said before slowly reopening her eyes. Subsequently, tears escaped her eyes and silently rolled down her cheeks.Ava was furious. “All men are liars! Jeremy knew how to lie to girls at such a young age; you even fell into his trap!”“Yeah, I thought he was sincere. Not only did I think that, but I e

Madeline was surprised by Jeremy’s attitude. However, she did not try to flatter him like she used to. She calmly asked, “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy was unhappy with how Madeline was addressing him that way. “What did you call me?”“Is there any difference? You never pay attention to me anyway, Mr. Whiteman.”Jeremy frowned. After a few moments of silence, he said, “Mer’s stomach is getting bigger and bigger. I want to give her status.”Even though Madeline knew Jeremy would force her to divorce him one day, it still felt like a bolt from the blue now that it was happening.Madeline looked at the frigid man in front of her. She laughed in self-mockery. “What about me?”She asked. All of a sudden, she felt like she and the baby in her stomach were the biggest jokes in the world.Jeremy’s intense and piercing gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “If you remain obedient, we can stay this way.”Madeline burst out laughing after being dazed. “Mr. Whitman, are yo

Madeline went to look for Jeremy immediately. The man looked as refined as always. He was sitting at his desk reading a few documents; he did not even lift his head.When he heard that Madeline wanted to loan three hundred thousand from him, he burst out laughing. “Madeline, money is just a number for me. However, I won’t give you a single cent.”Madeline gritted her teeth and continued pleading, “My grandpa has lung cancer, and he needs the money for his treatment. Jeremy, please, loan me the money. I’ll definitely pay you back.”“Pay me back? With what?” He knew she did not have the ability to pay him back. However, he suddenly said, “I can loan you the money, but you have to agree to what I asked that day.”Madeline clenched the corner of her shirt.He wanted Meredith to take her position. Consequently, she would become his mistress.Madeline suppressed the pain in her heart. She tried her best to stay calm. “Jeremy, aside from that, I can agree to anything.”Jeremy slammed h

Sell her body?Madeline had never said that she was there to sell her body, yet Meredith assumed as such immediately.There was an ominous glint in Jeremy’s cold yet domineering eyes. It was getting more and more terrifying. He looked like Satan who had just ascended from hell. He wanted to rip Madeline into pieces very badly.She had really come to sell herself.She could accept every man on earth for money!She had even boasted that she had had only him so shamelessly before.How cheap.“Maddie, listen to me. Go home. If not, Jeremy will be mad. I won’t be able to hold him back when that happens.”Madeline was disgusted by Meredith’s soft and gentle tone.She looked at Meredith while feeling amused. “Home? Do I still have a home? Isn’t my home being dominated by a shameless mistress like you?”Meredith looked awkward. The corner of her lips twitched, and she looked at Jeremy aggrievedly. “Jeremy, don’t be mad at Maddie. It’s all my fault. It’s my fault for falling head over

Before Madeline could finish talking, she was interrupted by Tanner.He was able to point out a characteristic of her body. It was as if he had confirmed his past relationship with Madeline.However, at this moment, Meredith had a surprised look on her face as she exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! Maddie, this guy isn’t your ex-boyfriend? He gave you money every time you guys did that? Doesn’t that mean you were selling your body for money? Maddie, how could you do that to yourself? You can sleep with any man as long as they pay you a hundred dollars!”Madeline felt disgusted. She wanted to refute Meredith, but she felt a sudden intense pain at the place where the tumor was, and she could not say anything.Her silence only seemed like tacit approval to Jeremy.Before this, there was Daniel. Now, there was Tanner.How many men did this woman have?The veins on Jeremy’s forehead begna to protrude, and he felt disgusted.“Jeremy, why is Maddie like this? I feel so horrible.” Meredith looked

‘Madeline, you disgust me.’His words of disgust felt like a million arrows to her heart. They had all been aimed at her already heavily damaged heart.He believed Meredith’s words so much that he would not even give her the chance to explain herself.The icy water rushed into her mouth and nose. She was beginning to drown. However, she suddenly did not want to struggle anymore.Wouldn’t it be nice if she just died like this?Nevertheless, just when Madeline closed her eyes in despair, Jeremy pulled her up and threw her to the floor.Madeline was like a broken rag doll. Soaking wet, she curled up on the floor lifelessly.The tumor in her body was extremely painful. It was so painful that even breathing made her suffer. Nonetheless, she lifted her head unbendingly.“I don’t know that man. Jeremy, why won’t you believe what I say…”“Why should I believe a sinister and cruel woman like you?”Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s collar angrily. The mole on her left breast was showing throug
