His deep and seductive voice slid into her ear before landing on her heart.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to ask such a question.There was visible shock on her face. Despite feeling taken aback, she was still calm. “Jeremy, do you know what you’re talking about?”“Of course, I know what I’m talking about.” He lowered his voice to make it sound even more alluring.“I’ll be marrying Felipe soon, so why would I like you?” Madeline said coldly, pushing him away.However, Jeremy merely grabbed the hand that landed on his shoulder.“Do you really not like me? Then why did you come looking for me in the hospital last night and tell me that you’re worried about me?” he asked, “You were concerned about me. Plus, I don’t think you like my uncle all that much,” he said as his dark eyes lingered on Madeline’s face. He could feel his heart skipping a beat.Despite knowing that they were two different people, he still could not ignore this face of hers that looked exactly the same as Madeli

‘Ava, I didn’t forget.‘That’s why I’m back for revenge. This is for me, but also mostly for the child.’When Ava noticed how Madeline had not spoken a word even after a long time, she ran over and grabbed her hand emotionally. “Maddie, please, come with us. Dan is the person who truly loves and cares about you. Stop getting fooled by that piece of trash!”“Stop talking.” Madeline interrupted her suddenly. “I’ve told you many times that I’m not Madeline Crawford. Plus, why can’t I stay with Mr. Whitman? What do his past actions have to do with me? I just know that I’m happy being with him. I enjoy being with him too. So please, stop harassing me!”Madeline finished saying that in an icy tone. Then, she pushed Ava’s hand away from her.She turned around and grabbed Jeremy’s arm, pretending to look intimate with him. “Jeremy, let’s talk somewhere else. These people are so annoying.”“Alright.” Jeremy gave her a one-word reply emotionlessly. He was not bothered by Madeline’s hand on

Jeremy sped to the place where he just saw the white figure. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.‘Maddie!‘Is that you, Maddie?’He screamed Madeline’s name in his heart over and over again as he was sure that he was not hallucinating.However, when he got to the grave, there was no one there.What he saw moments ago was perhaps just a dream.His heart went cold.Was he having hallucinations from missing her too much?Jeremy thought of that while feeling dispirited. When he was about to leave, he saw a trail of smoke coming from a grave nearby.He narrowed his eyes and strode over.He walked in front of Len’s grave. Len was Madeline’s grandfather. He could see the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and a candle that was still burning.Indeed, he had not been hallucinating earlier. Someone had been here to pay their respects to Len!Who else would come to pay respects to Len aside from Madeline?Jerem
Chapter 266
Madeline lifted her head and her eyes met Felipe’s narrow eyes. His eyes looked kind, enveloping her tightly into an air of warmth.“I will support you in everything you do. However, if possible, I really don’t want you to carry out your revenge this way.”Felipe reached out his hand as his fingers landed on her soft face. The coldness on his fingers made Madeline tremble.There were a lot of secrets hiding behind his bottomless eyes. It was as if one would get sucked into his eyes if they looked into his eyes and probed for more than one second.When Madeline was about to move away, Felipe walked closer to her.His handsome face was magnified in front of her, revealing a hint of overpowering dominance and possessiveness. “He’s not worthy to have you, be it now or back then.”Madeline felt her heartbeat accelerating the moment he said that.She was at a loss. When she came back to her senses, she could see Felipe’s lips slowly getting closer to hers. When she was about to dodge

They would have never expected the person who they were plotting against to appear in front of them all of a sudden. Meredith and Rose’s laughter stopped abruptly. Their equally hideous faces were filled with shock as they stared at Madeline who had just walked in.“You! Who told you to come in? How long were you standing out there? What did you hear?” Rose stood up with a woosh and pointed at Madeline as she questioned her angrily.Meredith did not say anything. She just widened her eyes and sized Madeline up.Madeline quirked her eyebrow and smiled. “Why? Did you say something you shouldn’t have and you’re scared that I’ll find out?”“...” Rose’s expression changed. She averted her gaze slightly. “You…”“If I’m not wrong, you must be Madeline’s adoptive mother. Tsk tsk, your adopted daughter has been completely tainted by you. I was wondering how a graceful and elegant woman like Mrs. Montgomery would have such a heinous and vile daughter like Meredith.”“W-What did you say?” R

“Vera Quinn, how dare you plot against me, you b*tch?!” Meredith cracked. Her weak and vulnerable exterior from the video she took was completely gone.She glowered and gnashed her teeth as she grabbed a fruit knife on the bedside table. She was about to slash the knife across Madeline’s face. On one side, Rose was not stopping her at all. She was hoping that Meredith could teach this annoying woman a lesson.When she saw the knife approaching her, Madeline recalled the two slashes Meredith left on her face back then. That scene resurfaced in her brain like a nightmare in the dark.She came back to her senses quickly and dodged away from the shiny blade in a haste.“Stop hiding, you b*tch!” A fire of rage was burning in Meredith’s chest. She lifted the fruit knife again. “Let me tell you, Vera Quinn. This is how I disfigured Madeline back then. If you dare to cross me again, I’ll let you get a taste of that pain she felt!”Madeline quickly ran away from her. However, Rose had come

Meredith touched her face in horror. When she felt a warm and sticky liquid running down her cheek, her pupils constricted. “Blood! There’s so much blood! My face!”She looked at her bloody palm and screamed. Her face was much paler now that she was losing blood profusely.Madeline lifted her head and saw the lacerated flesh on Meredith’s right cheek. She was surprised, but at the same time, she felt that it was truly ironic. At the sight before her, she smiled.She did not expect that Meredith would be disfigured one day.Was this karma?“Mer, Mer, don’t be scared. Jeremy’s here. He won’t let anything happen to you!” Rose ran up to her to comfort her. At the same time, she did not forget to involve Jeremy in this.“Jeremy, take Mer to the doctor to bandage her wounds. If not, she’ll have a scar on her face. It’ll be bad if that happens,” Rose said hurriedly, pushing Meredith to Jeremy.Meredith lifted her tearful eyes to look at Jeremy who was still holding Madeline. “Jeremy, m

‘However, you’ve never given me an ounce of warmth before.‘Do you know how much it hurt when you stabbed me in the heart?‘You have no idea…’Jeremy brought Madeline to the doctor. After making sure that she was not hurt, he was finally relieved.Despite Madeline’s rejections, Jeremy still insisted on taking her back to the apartment.Jeremy seemed to feel more at ease when he saw that Felipe was not around.Madeline decided to kick him out as she was worried that he might notice something. “Mr. Whitman, you should go visit your wife in the hospital.”“I told you, she’s not my fiancé anymore,” he said coldly. He looked into Madeline’s eyes as a weird glint appeared. “Don’t call me Mr. Whitman when we meet next time. You can call me by my name.”Madeline looked at him in surprise. When she was about to say something, Jeremy’s phone rang.He looked at the screen and his face quickly fell.He hung up the phone, but after less than two seconds, it rang again.This time, he answ
