“What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?” The man’s low and deep voice slid into her ears like thick red wine.Madeline suddenly withdrew her thoughts. In the dark, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.“It’s nothing. I just thought of a funny joke all of a sudden,” she said indifferently, but her eyes were burning.‘That’s right, it’s a joke. A very big joke.‘He may love any woman in this world, but he’ll never love me.’The next day after Madeline got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for Jackson, she then sent him to kindergarten with Jeremy.It was obvious that Jackson's current state was much better than before.Madeline had never seen a child who became happier and more at ease after being without their biological mother.What kind of a devil was Meredith to be able to destroy her own flesh and blood to the point of depression and mental damage?Whitman Corporation.After the morning meeting was over, Jeremy took Madeline to the department specializing in jewe

Yvonne turned her head abruptly when she heard Madeline’s words, only to see a surveillance camera.Yvonne’s confidence deflated instantly. She looked extremely embarrassed.Jeremy’s icy cold eyes swept over Yvonne’s face. “Don’t let me see you get any closer to Vera.”Yvonne trembled with fright. “Jez, I…”“Get lost.”“…”Yvonne was not happy about it, but she saw the employees whispering on the side while looking at her. She suddenly felt her cheeks heating up immensely. She glared at Madeline angrily before running off.Jeremy walked toward Madeline, the coldness in his eyes dispersing immediately. “Did she hurt you?”Madeline shook her head and smiled calmly. “I’m okay.”Jeremy seemed to be more relieved after hearing this. He gently held her hand and walked to the elevator. “Are you tired after working all morning?”“All my fatigue went away when I saw you.” Madeline smiled with curved eyes.Jeremy looked at her bright, smiling face, and a warm shade covered his cold fa

Madeline erased all her traces, then put the laptop back in place.She held the light USB flash drive in her hand, but it felt heavy for some reason.Although she had not been educated by her parents since she was a child, her grandpa always taught her to be a kind-hearted and honest person.She always had a clear conscience and never did anything that caused harm.However, at this moment, she actually felt hesitant.‘Is this considered dishonest?‘No, it’s not.‘Jeremy Whitman, back then, you worked with Meredith to ruin me completely. Even on the day of my ‘death’, I still had to bear the cruel, critical attacks from you two.‘Those non-existent sins, the harm from your tyrannical methods, the pain from three years of unjust charges, and the separation of flesh and blood are all vivid to me.‘You’ve bestowed me such misfortune, so don’t blame me for fighting back now.‘Jeremy, you owe me.’Madeline held the USB flash drive tightly. She then turned around and left the offic

Madeline's outstretched hand was suddenly hauled up and Felipe was immediately interrupted right when he touched the corner of the thumb drive.He looked up unhappily with his cold eyes and saw an angry face."Vera Quinn, how could you be so shameless?!"Yvonne yelled, "As soon as Cousin Jeremy walked away, you immediately came to have a sweet lunch with another man. Both of you are even holding hands publicly. You’re so cheap, you don’t deserve to be my cousin-in-law! I’m going to tell Cousin Jeremy about this right away!"Madeline really did not expect Yvonne to have tailed her. As she was listening to Yvonne's slanderous words, she withdrew her hand unhappily and said, "Speak with your respect. This ‘other man’ you’re talking about is Jeremy’s uncle.""What?" Shocked, Yvonne looked at Felipe who had a cold facial expression. It was only then she noticed that this man not only looked handsome and extraordinary, but his facial features were indeed somewhat similar looking to Jeremy’s

She paused for a few seconds before picking it up.A man's deep and hoarse voice sounded softly, "Have you returned to the company?""No, I returned to my store," Madeline said calmly, "Aren't you busy? Why do you have the time to call me?"“I suddenly missed you,” he said softly. After saying this, he added, "For real."These two words made Madeline's heartbeat skip all of a sudden. Her gaze shifted to the computer screen, her heart feeling disturbed."Vera, I might not be able to go back tonight. Will you miss me like how I miss you?"Madeline was silent for a while as she listened to his words.Not knowing how much time had passed, she then replied softly, "Of course, of course I’ll miss you."After obtaining her answer, Jeremy chuckled softly and said with a sweet tone, "Don't worry, everything will be resolved soon. We’ll never be separated again after this."Madeline listened to Jeremy’s words blankly. By the time she had come back to her senses, it was unknown to her when the ca

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.Felipe's gaze turned cold. "Jeremy, aren't you on a business trip?""Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn’t come back just in time?" Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline's hand in his palm. "Let's go in."He ignored Felipe and turned away while bringing Madeline to the door.Madeline looked back at Felipe, then followed Jeremy into the corporation silently.Upon returning to the office, Madeline thought that Jeremy would question her, but he did not ask anything."Don't you have something to ask me?" Madeline inquiringly looked at the man who had a calm expression.Jeremy took off his coat and replied in a soft tone, "Do I have something to ask?""Won’t you ask me what is in this thumb drive and why I was giving it to Felipe?""If you wanted to tell me, you woul
Chapter 434
Diana’s sister looked like an honest person. However, her tone was extremely disdainful when she spoke, “About 28 years ago, my sister Diana handed me a child. She said it’s a child who someone had abandoned. As she pitied the child, she asked me to adopt her.“Back then, she gave me a huge sum of money to keep the child, so I took care of the baby for a few days because I needed the cash. However, that child would cry non-stop every night. I thought she was too annoying and gave her to my father.”When Eloise and Sean heard about the truth, they were so heartbroken that they could not breathe.Their daughter had cried every night because she wanted her parents’ cuddles and comfort. However, no one was giving that to her.

Even though Madeline could guess this from Meredith’s replies, when Jeremy gave her an affirmative answer, she was still stunned all the same.The cold wind from the early winter caressed her face. That bone-chilling coldness made Madeline recall the man’s cruelness back then.She could never forget about his cruel and cold-blooded actions as well as his gaze. After a while, Madeline curled her lips superficially. “You hate Madeline so much, so why did you even erect a tombstone for her? You’re even giving her roses. I don’t understand this,” she smiled as she said. She could not accept this reality.He hated her so much that he wanted to crush her into dust, so why was he commemorating her passing?Jeremy smiled when he heard that. His gentle gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “I know you won’t believe me because even I’ve lied to myself a few times.”Madeline turned her head. “Lied to yourself?”Jeremy smiled and looked at Madeline. “I lied to myself that her passing is just a l
