Madeline looked at Jeremy indifferently when she heard that. The man flipped through a stack of documents in his hand slowly without raising his head. “What’s going on?”Ken looked at Madeline hesitantly.Madeline understood what he meant and smiled before getting up. “You guys should talk. I’ll go back to the jewelry department.”“Vera is my wife. There’s nothing she’s not allowed to know.” Jeremy stopped Madeline from leaving.Ken nodded and said, “Mr. Whitman, the project in Cielo Aqua Bay with ZF is met with a bit of a hiccup.”Jeremy took care of the work in front of him and asked slowly, “The project has not started yet, so what can happen?”“Since it hasn’t started yet, someone snatched it away from us.”After Ken said that, Jeremy stopped flipping through his documents.He lifted his eyes that were as deep as the ocean. “Someone snatched it from us?”Ken nodded. “It’s a company named Simis. They signed the contract with the relevant department of ZF yesterday.”“Simis

‘I will leave a ray of light for you in the winter for the sake of Grandpa and Jack.‘This is my last act of kindness to you.’Two days later, not only was the crisis not solved, but the shares of Whitman Corporation were also greatly affected. There were also a lot of rumors about the possibility of them closing transactions.However, Jeremy did not look worried. On the other hand, he brought Madeline back to have dinner in Whitman Manor.During dinner, Jeremy’s phone rang non-stop. This time, he received a call and walked away. His mother placed down her fork in worry.“Aunt Karen, what’s wrong?” Yvonne looked concerned.“What else can be wrong? So many things have been happening to the company recently. I have no idea what’s going on. They all happened at the same time.”“Aunt Karen, don’t worry. With Jeremy’s abilities, he’ll be able to settle anything.” Yvonne had a look of admiration on her face as she flattered.“What do you know? This is related to ZF as well. I think t

“Shut up!” Jeremy roared angrily.Yvonne immediately kept quiet out of fear. She saw a coldness in Jeremy’s eyes and did not even dare to breathe too loudly.Jeremy walked past Yvonne and his mother as he approached Madeline. When he saw Madeline’s displeased expression, he asked gently, “Are you full? If you are, then let’s go home.”Madeline got up slowly, her arrogant eyes scanning across Yvonne and Jeremy’s mother. She said slowly, “I don’t want to eat anymore. How can I have an appetite when I’m facing those people.”“...” Jeremy’s mother exploded immediately. “Jeremy, did you hear that? She’s talking about me with that kind of attitude!”Madeline smiled coldly. “So what if I’m talking to you that way? Do you think I’ll let you bully me like Madeline?”“Y-You…” Jeremy’s mother was at a loss for words. “Vera Quinn, what do you mean? Are you outraged by the injustice Madeline suffered? How interesting. But you can’t stop me from scolding her when she is a b*tch! She said Mer

‘However, now you’re ridiculously exploiting my death and saying that you love me?‘Jeremy, you’re pathetic.’“I need to go to F Country three hours later. I’ll be gone for about two days.” The man’s deep voice sounded.F Country?Madeline’s eyes twinkled. Then, she replied flatly, “Okay.”When Jeremy heard her emotionless answer, he lifted his eyes and saw Madeline’s cold expression from the rearview mirror.After the car stopped, Madeline got out of the car and went into the house herself. When she wanted to go see Jackson, she remembered that Eloise had picked him up this morning.Although Jackson was not their biological grandson, he was still Eloise and Sean’s grandson in their hearts. They genuinely loved this child as well.Madeline went back to her room and grabbed her pajamas. She was about to go take a shower.However, when she turned around, she saw Jeremy looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes.“What’s wrong? Are you going to berate me for talking to y

After Karen finished barking her orders in an imposing manner, the entire room went quiet. They were all staring blankly at her and Yvonne.Yvonne was beaming as she loved the feeling of being in the center of attention.Madeline burst out laughing when she saw the aunt and niece duo in front of her. “You’re taking over? What are you going to be responsible for? Being the clown?”Karen’s face fell. “Vera, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You’re just Jeremy’s wife, so what qualifications do you have to manage Whitman Corporation?”She said before looking at Yvonne, “Yvonne, from this day on, you’ll sit here. When Jeremy comes back, I’ll tell him that you’re his secretary now.”Yvonne was elated after she heard that. “Thank you, Aunt Karen!” She smiled and sat down on Madeline’s seat.“What are you still doing here? Get out! Go manage your Miss L.ady. You have no business being in Whitman Corporation.” Karen chased Madeline away. Then, she sat upright an

How would Karen be satisfied with that? However, she did not have a choice, so she could only leave while fuming.Yvonne puffed up her cheeks and gritted her teeth in anger. However, she could only follow Karen out of the meeting room.“Aunt Karen, Vera is so despicable! It’s fine that she doesn’t respect me, but she doesn’t even want to respect you in front of all those heads of departments!”Yvonne felt indignant and she started egging Karen on.“Aunt Karen, since Jeremy isn’t around, you should crack down on Vera’s spirits and teach her a lesson! If not, she’ll think that she’s the boss.”Karen scoffed. “You’re right. Tonight, I’ll let her know who’s the real boss.”A few moments after the meeting, Madeline got a call from Whitman Manor. The caller told her that Old Master Whitman wanted her to drop by tonight.If it was six years ago, Madeline would believe that it was the old master who wanted to see her. However, after her death, she would not be so naive anymore.Yet, Ma

After Madeline said that, Karen’s face was flushed white. She widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the beautiful yet icy face in front of her in disbelief.When Yvonne saw Karen’s pale and dumbfounded face, she was confused. She was even more confused with what Madeline had said just now.“Aunt Karen, you…”“W-What did you just say?” Karen ignored Yvonne. She reached out her finger and pointed to Madeline, saying, “Say that again. W-Who are you?”Madeline leaned back on her chair nonchalantly when she saw Karen stammering in terror.She lifted her eyebrow and stared straight at her. “It happened here on that day. You said I could only become one of the Whitmans and marry Jeremy if the dead could come back to life. Now, as a ‘dead person’, I’m standing in front of you. How is it? Are you surprised?”“...”Karen felt her heart skip a beat. She stood up from the chair in terror. “Y-Y-You’re not Vera Quinn!”Madeline smiled nonchalantly. “It’s only been three years. Did you

Madeline smiled happily when she saw Karen avoiding her.“If I remember correctly, you said that everyone would be happy if I died. However, from the looks of it now, it seems pretty difficult for you to be happy now.”“...” Karen was speechless. She looked more and more defeated.Yvonne looked at Karen behind her, then yelled at Madeline with an arrogant look on her face, “So you’re Jeremy’s dead ex-wife Madeline. If you’re not dead, why did you pretend to be dead to scare my aunt? I’m warning you, if you dare to be so unrestrained, I’ll—”“This is between me and them. It’s best if you mind your own business.” Madeline interrupted domineeringly with a cold gaze. “Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. If you don’t want to get burnt, you’d better step aside.”“...” Yvonne wanted to stand up for Karen, but she was stunned when she saw Madeline’s imposing manner.When she saw Madeline walking over, Yvonne shut up in fear and stepped aside.With nothing in front of her, Karen lifted her
