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
Chapter 416
“How ridiculous. You had so eloquently said just now that you would avenge your own daughter, but now you dare not even acknowledge this daughter of yours.”“…”“Although Brittany had lived the life of a rich daughter, she was really pitiful for having a mother like you. Even till the day Brittany died, she had never really called her biological mother ‘Mom’. Even now when she’s already dead, she still can’t die in peace. And you’ll also regret this for life.”“You shut up! Just shut up! Stop talking!” Diana lost control of her emotions again. She stood up and wanted to raise a hand at Madeline.Jeremy coldly reached out and clamped down on her wrist, pushing her away.Diana plopped to the ground.“If you dare raise a hand at Vera again, I’ll smash Brittany’s grave!”What?!Diana trembled in horror. She crawled toward Jeremy and knelt at his feet, begging for mercy with a pale face.“Mr. Whitman, don’t! Please don’t destroy Brittany’s grave. I was wrong! I wouldn’t dare! I won

Diana was instantly dumbfounded after hearing such an answer. She shook her head with an expression of disbelief. She could not accept it.“How can that be? Impossible! How could that b*tch be Madam’s daughter? She’s not worthy. She’s not worthy of the title of the Montgomeries’ young lady at all. She’s just a b*tch—”‘You shut up!” Eloise was outraged. “Who are you to curse my daughter like that? If my daughter isn’t worthy, then are you worthy? You did these despicable and shameless things that are lower than the low, and yet you still have the gall to criticize my daughter? Diana, you don’t have humanity or conscience. You’re simply not worthy of being human!”Eloise reprimanded her furiously. Thinking of the hardships that Madeline might have experienced during the years after she was swapped, Eloise’s heart hurt beyond words.“Eloise, what’s the matter?” Seeing Eloise teetering as if she was about to faint, Sean held her nervously.Eloise burst into tears and raised her hand

“Eveline…”Eloise moved her lips and whispered the name.Madeline was a little stunned, knowing that it was her real name.“Mom and Dad are sorry. We’re really sorry. You had obviously shown up in front of us long ago, but we were blind. We hurt and mistreated you time and time again for that vicious woman Meredith…“I know that there’s no way to compensate you in this lifetime. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely make up for the harm done to you…”Eloise reached out her hand with tears all over her face and she suddenly hugged Madeline.“Eveline, my Eveline…” she called out lightly in a trembling voice.Perhaps she was in a trance, but looking at Madeline’s face, it was really hard not to be in a trance—especially in the state of grief and indignation she was in at this moment.Madeline silently let Eloise hug her tightly, a touch of wetness appearing in her calm eyes…This was probably the first time she was experiencing a mother’s love. It turned out to be so warm. She

When Madeline turned around and saw the man standing not far away, she realized she had unconsciously responded to him calling her ‘Maddie’ just now.Meeting Jeremy’s unfathomable eyes, Madeline very calmly put on a smile.“Maddie? Don’t tell me you’re just like Mrs. Montgomery, unable to disengage from the show earlier and are still treating me as Madeline?”Her tone made it sound as if she was joking. She then stepped toward Jeremy with a deep smile.“But I didn’t think you would call Madeline so intimately. She is, after all, the woman you abhor, no?”Madeline smiled slightly. She passed by Jeremy and picked up a magazine. Then, she sat on the bed and spoke casually, “It was quite unexpected. As it turns out, Madeline was really Mrs. Montgomery’s biological daughter. Moreover, she was swapped by a servant in the family right after she was born.“What a shame that Madeline is already dead. The truth came too late.”Jeremy listened to Madeline quietly. He turned around and sat

Felipe suddenly called and Madeline collected herself before answering the phone. The man’s gentle voice sounded magnetically in her ears. “Are you okay? Did you see the video?”Madeline seemed to understand something clearly. "I just finished watching it. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.""It seems that they really love you. It’s just that they were blinded back then." Felipe explained on behalf of Eloise and Sean."Love..."Madeline smiled while uttering the word, feeling strange all of a sudden. "Felipe, I’ll come to where you are now. Let's talk about the plan."After hanging up the call, Madeline hurried to a single-family villa in the suburbs where Felipe now lived.After Madeline arrived, Felipe brought the black tea that he had just brewed. He looked at the woman who was in front of him with a smile and tender eyes. "I really want this to end soon. I think of you having to stay with him every night and it's very uncomfortable."Madeline sipped the black tea, feeling

"Look over there." Eloise pointed not far away, her eyes suddenly looking sad. "My daughter is dead and I know that I can’t make up for this regret in my life. Only by doing this can I remedy a bit of this regret.""We know that this request is very selfish and a bit overwhelming. If you’re unwilling, Miss Vera, we won’t force it." Sean's tone was gentle while his eyes were filled with pleading.Madeline looked at the photo studio not far away and smiled.It turned out that they wanted to borrow her face for a family portrait.Felipe was right. Sometimes the apology may not be done out of sincerity. They just hoped that they would feel better in their hearts, nothing more.They would be better off after taking a family portrait, but what about her?Madeline chuckled. She closed her eyes and could still clearly see the scenes of Eloise and Sean treating her coldly back then.She had given enough during this time."I'm sorry, I don't think I can agree." Madeline refused. "I don't
