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

Before this, Madeline already knew how to face everyone.However, when she looked at the white-haired Old Master Whitman in front of her, she felt an ache in her heart. However, she still looked into his eyes calmly.“Grandpa, you’re right. I am Maddie.”She finally admitted this to the old master. She could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes.“Grandpa, thank you for trusting and supporting me in all those years. You were the only person who’s good to me in this family. I will remember this forever.”Old Master Whitman walked in front of Madeline slowly with the support of his cane. His aged and murky eyes looked at her dotingly and understandingly.“Child, you’re finally admitting it. I’m happy.”Looking at the old master’s loving gaze, Madeline felt apologetic all of a sudden. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’m afraid that I’m going to disappoint you.”“No. I’m happy to see the new you.” The old master lifted his hand and grabbed Madeline’s hand. His palm was cold, but he was

Did Karen tell Eloise about her true identity?Perhaps not.Karen would not cause more trouble for herself at this time.As Madeline pondered, she picked up the phone.“Miss Vera, this is Eloise Montgomery. I was wondering if you can come over to my place now. Jack can’t sleep and he said he wants to see you.”When Madeline knew that it was because of this, she agreed. “I’ll go over in a bit.”“That’s great.” Eloise’s voice sounded joyful.Perhaps, seeing her face right now would be something that would make her and her husband happy.After hanging up the phone, Madeline ate something and left.Felipe sat in his seat, his long fingers holding his wine glass. He swirled the liquid in his glass and looked straight ahead.“Vera, he’s not as benevolent and kind as you think. He’s not worthy of your mercy.”…About 20 minutes later, Madeline arrived at Montgomery Manor.Eloise and Sean welcomed her with open arms when they saw her.The moment Jackson saw Madeline, his childish

Despite Madeline being surprised about Jeremy’s early return, she remained calm. She even had a thought-provoking smile on her face.The man walked over to her, the icy aura around him making him look as domineering as a tyrant. Everything around him was only serving as props now.He was looking straight ahead as if he could not see the other people in the room. His dark eyes only reflected Madeline’s beautiful face.He walked forward, and with every step, his heartbeat accelerated until he got in front of Madeline.After one of the shareholders came back to his senses, he said, “You’re back just in time, Mr. Whitman. Your wife said—”“All of you, get out.”Jeremy interrupted him coldly, his eyes still glued on Madeline’s face.The shareholders were looking at each other in confusion. However, they still walked out.Madeline and Jeremy were the only ones left in the large meeting room now.Madeline said as she broke the silence, “You’re back so quickly. Since that’s the case,

“Don’t touch me,” Madeline said in disgust, “Don’t touch me with your hands that have touched other women. I feel disgusted.”Hiss.Jeremy felt as if something had stabbed his heart after he heard Madeline’s hateful words.It turned out that the word ‘disgusted’ could hold so much power.However, he had kept using this word back then as a weapon to attack her again and again.Madeline took a deep breath when Jeremy did not say anything. She peered at Jeremy, her eyes filled with anger. She mocked, saying, “Why? Are you unhappy that I’m treating you like this? Who are you to be unhappy about it? Did you forget how you used to treat me? You said I was a wh*re with loose morals. You said I disgusted you. You said I wasn’t worthy to be Jeremy Whitman’s wife. Did you forget all of these?”After she questioned him, Jeremy frowned.He recounted everything he did to her in the past. He had indeed done innumerable crimes.He did not say anything and only stared straight at her.His red

Madeline finished saying that without hesitation. Her piercing gaze scanned across Jeremy’s face before she strode away.Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand, causing her to stop in her tracks. She peered at him with a cold gaze. “What’s wrong? Do you want to punish me with your barbaric ways? Jeremy, I’m not that Madeline who’d allow you to insult and humiliate her anymore. I’m not afraid of you!”She looked into the man’s deep eyes fearlessly. There was an invulnerable expression in her eyes that made her look as domineering and arrogant as a monarch.Jeremy was not angry. His passionate eyes were glued on Madeline’s flawless face as he looked straight at her.Actually, he already knew the things she told him were just lies.He would only have the chance to get close to her as long as he continued lying to himself.Eventually, this day still came crashing on him.After staying silent, Jeremy said with a small smile on his face, “I have a question for you.”Madeline looked at the

Karen was taken aback. However, she did not intend to leave. On the other hand, she walked in front of Jeremy.“Jeremy, I have something important to tell you!” Karen looked frenetic. “Madeline is not dead! She’s Vera Quinn! She admitted to it two days ago! She really is Madeline!” Karen said in a flustered manner. However, she saw that Jeremy was unperturbed. Something clicked in her brain. “Jeremy, you… Did you already know this? You knew that the b*tch is Madeline?”After she said that, Jeremy lifted his gaze to look at her.His eyes were icy, making Karen shut up after seeing it.Jeremy stood up frigidly and left without taking anything.Karen chased after him. “Jeremy, w-what’s happening now? Are you going to just ignore Madeline? Do you know what she did in the past two days? Jeremy, don’t be too careless. That woman came back for revenge! Jeremy, Jeremy!”No matter how much Karen called after him, Jeremy did not pay attention to her.Karen stomped her feet in annoyance. T
