Chapter 408
When you looked out from one side of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you would see a thick riverbank. The other side allowed those in the office to oversee every inch of the city below. It was a great place for an office, and most certainly not somewhere any Tom, Dick, or Harry could own should they wish. She had once been stripped away of the right to visit this place.He was her husband, and while she was never allowed into his office, he would let another woman come and go as she wished. Madeline’s lips quirked at the thought as she quietly took out the food she had bought. She would never wear an apron and cook for him again, for whatever willingness to give she once had no longer existed. Jeremy was obviously in a great mood as he ate away happily without suspecting if Madeline had indeed made the dishes or not. Rays of the mid-autumn afternoon sun scattered over the man’s black button-up shirt, casting a gentle light over his deep gaze. After lunch, Madelin

Madeline had no time to stop her when Eloise already blurted out such a sentence.The surrounding air seemed to quiet down for a moment, and Madeline looked at Jeremy's reaction out of the corner of her eyes. His expression was a bit complicated, as if he had just heard an unexpected piece of news. However, it also seemed calm.Madeline pondered for a few seconds before breaking the silence. "Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Montgomery, do you really think Madeline is your biological daughter?"Eloise stared at her, saying, "Although there’s no scientific verification yet, I’m already 90 percent sure that Madeline is my daughter!"Her tone was very positive, and her eyes that were glazed over with a fog looked at Madeline's face with incomparable nostalgia."Miss Vera has a daughter, yes?" Eloise asked all of a sudden.Madeline nodded. "Yeah.""When I saw your daughter at the entrance of the kindergarten, I was surprised. Your daughter looked really similar to my daughter when she was born.

Madeline smiled and was about to say something when the phone rang.She looked at the screen and saw that it was from Felipe.She answered the phone naturally and hung up after a few brief sentences."Jeremy, something has come up at my shop. I have to go back now.""I’ll see you off.""No, we’ll see each other tonight,” Madeline said as she turned around. As she was about to leave, Jeremy stretched out his hand to hold her. When Madeline looked back doubtfully, Jeremy lowered his head and kissed her lips."A goodbye kiss.""..."Madeline accepted with a smile despite her rejection.After seeing her turn around and leave, the smile on the corners of his lips gradually disappeared while the sharpness in his eyes faded away, leaving only a touch of regret.When Eloise said that Madeline was actually her biological daughter just now, the assumption had given the most perfect answer to the entangled questions in Jeremy's heart."Linnie..."The name was gently uttered from betwe

Jeremy held his mobile phone quietly, listening to Sean telling him the result of the identification word for word…Sean's tone was indescribably complicated. There was happiness, but there was still a touch of sorrow in this joy.Sure enough, after listening to what Sean had to say, a tsunami rose in Jeremy's heart."Jeremy, you’re back."The call had not been hung up yet when a sweet voice sounded in front of him.Jeremy raised his eyes and saw Madeline walking toward him.The picturesque face hidden deep in his heart gradually magnified in his deep eyes."I was just waiting for you to come back for dinner." Madeline walked toward Jeremy and reached out to him to help him take off his suit jacket.Jeremy quietly hung up, his eyes staying on Madeline's faintly smiling face the whole time.Seeing her turning around to hang up the clothes, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.Madeline looked back questioningly. "What's the matter?""It's nothing. I just missed you a little," he sai

Eloise and Sean followed behind Jeremy with heavy footsteps. They finally reached the grave that had been destroyed into pieces."This... This is the place Madeline is buried?" Eloise’s eyes widened with surprise.She really could not accept the scene before her.The grave was a destroyed mess, and even the tombstone was broken to pieces till the point it was no longer able to be pieced back together."It was Meredith who caused the destruction," Jeremy answered lightly.Eloise and Sean's eyes lit up with anger in unison, but there were more heartache and grief at this moment.Eloise put down the bouquet in her hands, walked to the scattered stones, and crouched down slowly.She picked up a small piece of gravel and stroked it gently and very cautiously as if she was holding a treasure.Tears of regret dripped quietly onto the rocks, leaving heavy tear stains."My baby girl..."Sean crouched down and put his arm around Eloise as well, crying with regret.If they had not hate

When Eloise said this, Jeremy and Sean looked at her at the same time.Although Madeline had been referring to Len Samuels as her grandfather, it was clear that he was not Madeline's real grandfather.How could Eloise know Len Samuels?"Eloise, have you really seen this name at home?" Sean was surprised.Whether it was a servant or their relatives or friends, he was sure that none of them were named Len Samuels.Eloise nodded with certainty. "With Diana!"“Diana?" Jeremy frowned slightly."She’s our housekeeper. She has been working for us since her 20s. It has been 32 years." Eloise explained. "I saw the name Len Samuels from her side.""Diana’s full name is Diana Samuels, and her surname is Samuels..." Saying this, Eloise's emotions gradually became more agitated as a certain conjecture appeared in her heart."Sean, could it be that... We should go back and ask her about this clearly!"Eloise hurriedly pulled Sean up and turned around.Jeremy glanced at the tombstone, then

Her smile was like a flower while her eyes were quick-witted, shining in his eyes like bright stars.After hanging up the call, Jeremy got up and walked toward Madeline. "Vera, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery want to invite us to their home tonight."Madeline's actions of setting out his lunch paused slightly. "Why would they invite us to be their guest all of a sudden?""They have a request and hope you can help them."Jeremy looked at Madeline, then informed her of the specific content of the unreasonable demand.Madeline turned around and pulled Jeremy's tie with her slender fingers, revealing a womanly, charming, and lively smile."Looking at your face, I’ll agree."Jeremy's eyes gently admired the bright face in front of him as his heartbeat accelerated more than a little...At dusk, the light of the setting sun shone through the branches and was cut into pieces of gold as it sprinkled on the ground.Madeline held Jeremy's hand and they sweetly stepped through the Montgomeries’ d

“You have good eyes. That’s right, I’m not Vera at all. I’m Madeline!”Jeremy, who was standing outside the kitchen, had heard what Madeline said then. A subtle but shattered light shone in his deep sea-like eyes. It gradually condensed into a noiseless tsunami that surged in his heart. However, he just stood there in silence.Diana, on the other hand, blew up instantly when she heard this.“You really are her! You’re really that b*tch Madeline!”She swung the kitchen knife in her hand and pointed it in Madeline’s direction. Those angry eyes saw red as if they were about to swallow Madeline alive.“I must avenge my Brit today!”“Your Brit? That was Mrs. Montgomery’s Brittany. What does she have to do with you? I’ve never even touched a strand of Brittany’s hair. Even if I really did kill Brittany, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery who should be looking for me for revenge. What right do you, a servant, have to teach me a lesson?”“Who says I don’t have the right? No one else in this w
