His answer surprised Madeline. However, his serious expression told Madeline that he was not joking.“I’ll do anything for you as long as you’re happy.”“Jeremy, Jeremy!”After Jeremy said that, Meredith barged into their vision while looking all frenetic and anxious.Madeline looked behind her subconsciously. However, she did not see Jackson.“Jeremy, Jack’s missing again!”Meredith ran in front of Jeremy with her eyes red.“It’s all my fault. I didn’t watch Jack properly. Jeremy, you should scream at me. It’s all because of my negligence. I was so focused on watching you that I neglected Jack. Boo-hoo…”Madeline despised Meredith’s pretentious acts. “Miss Crawford, there’s no use in crying. If you’re really concerned about this child, you won’t keep losing him from under your eyes.”“Vera, he’s not your child, so that’s why you’re able to say such things. Jack is my and Jeremy’s child. You’ll never be able to understand this feeling!”“Enough.” Jeremy frowned and interrupte

Jeremy heard some noises coming from the forest. Then, he saw Meredith’s figure as it flashed past.He looked around but did not see Madeline anywhere. Suddenly, his heart started beating erratically.He tried to call Madeline’s number, but there was no signal on his phone.Looking at the misty forest in front of him, Jeremy started feeling more and more uneasy.Meredith wanted to kill Jackson, then shift the blame to Vera. However, she changed her mind at the last minute and decided to kill both of them.She might as well, right?Meredith smirked when she recalled her plan.She knew Jeremy would look for Madeline after he got here.Jeremy indeed went looking for Vera first. Then, using this opportunity, Meredith fed Jackson some water that was mixed with crushed sleeping pills. After that, she asked a man who was pretending to be a parent to suffocate Jackson before abandoning his body.No one would know about her evil plan.This was the outdoors where there were no cameras.

She was so impressed with her decisiveness.Indeed, the best ending would be Vera dying.If not, Jeremy would never return to her as long as this woman was alive.Jeremy looked for her along the steep incline. However, he could not pinpoint where Madeline had fallen from.He felt as if he was going insane. He could not focus. He could not think nor deduce.It was as if the rain was falling straight into his heart, interfering with his emotions.The more time had passed, the more danger she would be in.Jeremy went back to where Meredith was. His handsome face was drenched with rainwater and it was filled with coldness.At this moment, Meredith got out of a car. Eloise had arrived unbeknownst to him. She hurried out of the car to hold the umbrella for Meredith.Meredith ran in front of Jeremy and asked, her voice all choked up from crying, “Jeremy, have you found Jack’s body?”Jeremy’s eyes darkened. There was a fit of intense anger in his eyes. “Body? How are you so sure that

What?Meredith was flabbergasted when she heard Jackson saying that.It was fine that the little brat survived, but what did he say? He saw her pushing Vera down the incline?The rain was pouring outside, but it was not as violent as the storm in Jeremy’s eyes.Meredith saw Jeremy standing up, and there was a layer of frost on his face. The temperature of her body plummeted when she saw that.“Jeremy, it’s not real. Jack had a misunderstanding!” Meredith tried to explain herself. “Vera was the one who wanted to push me, but she fell accidentally. I’m innocent!”“Mer, don’t be emotional. I believe you!”Eloise comforted Meredith pitifully. Then, she turned around and walked toward Jackson.“Jack, let Granny see if you’re alright. Vera is so heartless. She even took action against such a young child. Jack, tell Granny how did that woman bully you?”Jackson frowned, his thick eyebrows knitting together tightly. “Vera is a good person,” he said seriously. Then, he turned to look a

“I gave this to Vera,” Jackson said softly.Jeremy looked at the little guy in front of him with a strange look on his face. “Did you put a chip in the bracelet?” he asked, but he did not get an answer.Jackson stood up and looked at the lake. The peaceful surface of the lake was disrupted by the rain, and Jackson’s eyes were blank.However, at this moment, Jeremy removed his coat and jumped into the lake without hesitation. He wanted to look for her…Time passed and the sky was dark.The rain had stopped and the search continued.It was early fall, so the chilly night breeze attacked them both. When the breeze blew past their wet clothes, the coldness went straight into their bones.It had been six hours since Vera fell, so Meredith knew she got this in the bag.There were so many professional divers yet they still could not find Vera. She had to have met her demise.Meredith was elated. She wanted to leave, but when she saw Jeremy still standing there, she felt perturbed.S

When Jackson saw that Madeline was safe and sound, his large eyes shone brightly.He did not say anything. However, the relief he felt was written on his face.“Vera Quinn, you did so many cruel things and you’re still safe and sound! You even have the guts to saunter back here!” Eloise pointed at Madeline and shouted, “What crimes do you want to accuse my daughter of now?”Madeline lifted her crystal-like eyes. “Mrs. Montgomery, do you want me to die so much?” she asked with a smile. Her eyes looked bottomless as she continued, “I’m afraid that you’ll never feel peace again if I did die, Mrs. Montgomery.”“Hmph, a woman like you will not be remembered even if you’re dead. Why would I feel uneasy if you’re dead?” Eloise peered at her coldly. “Vera, I advise you to stop what you’re doing. Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction!”“You should tell that to your precious daughter, Meredith,” Madeline said, throwing the man she was holding captive to Meredith’s feet.The man

“...” The man was speechless.Madeline slowly took out a tissue from the pocket of her waterproof tracksuit. Then, she bent down and picked up the envelope from its corner.“Did you call the police, Mrs. Montgomery?” She smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons.Eloise glared at her. “Vera, the police will be here soon. Don’t even think about quibbling about this.”“You should leave the chance of quibbling to your precious daughter.” Madeline shook the envelope in her hand. “Thank you for giving me the evidence. I think the fingerprints of the dealer should be on this.”“...”“...”The man’s expression froze as he looked at Meredith subconsciously.On the other hand, the corner of Meredith’s lips were twitching. She looked as if she was at a loss.Madeline smiled wider when she saw their expressions. “Mrs. Montgomery, you can hire a lawyer for your daughter now. I’m curious about what you’re going to tell them when they ask you why your daughter’s fingerprints are on the e

“H-How is that possible…” Eloise could not accept what she was hearing from the conversation on the phone.Meredith’s sinister and malicious words... How she had called Jackson ‘that damned child’...“No! It’s impossible! That’s not Mer’s voice!” Eloise denied in certainty. “Vera Quinn, how dare you fake evidence?! You must’ve had someone pretend to be Meredith!”Meredith came back to her senses. She did not expect that when Vera got close to her, she had already started recording.However, she would not admit to her dirty deeds with just this.“Mom, you have to believe me. That’s not me. That person in the video is not me!” Meredith denied. “Jeremy, someone must be trying to harm me. That video must be fake! Why would I want to harm Jack? He’s our flesh and blood!”Meredith turned around and looked at Madeline with tears in her eyes.“Vera Quinn, you really can do anything just to get Jeremy. That man has already pointed you out and you still want to twist the truth to blame me
