Chapter 459
Even though the car window was closed, Madeline could clearly hear that Eloise’s voice was shaking.Eloise was obviously trying to suppress some kind of emotions, and Madeline already knew what emotion that was.Knock, knock, knock.Eloise knocked on the window again lightly.She did not dare to use too much force. She was scared that Madeline would be upset, but at the same time, she was scared that Madeline would ignore her.“Miss Vera, Vera…”Eloise called out to her. Suddenly, with a click, Madeline unbuckled her seatbelt.When they saw that Madeline was finally getting out of the car, Eloise and Sean’s faces lit up with joy.Madeline opened the door and finally got out.Looking at their wet and longing eyes, Madeline looked at them calmly. “Is Jack in his room?” she asked flatly.Eloise and Sean looked at her intensely and nodded. “He’s in his room!”“Got it,” Madeline said and turned around without saying another word more.When they saw Madeline walking in through th

Eloise and Sean saw this scene when they were outside the room and their hearts were in excruciating pain.They did not dare to go disturb them. At the same time, they did not dare to tell Madeline that Jackson was actually her biological son without careful consideration.Eloise covered her mouth when she saw this. She swallowed her sobs and ran away quickly.“Ellie!”Sean called out to Eloise in a low voice. Then, he looked at Madeline longingly before chasing after his wife.Eloise went back to her room and collapsed on her bed. She covered her face as she started bawling.Even though Sean was also in debilitating sadness, as a husband and a man, he had to be stronger and more composed than Eloise at this moment.“Ellie, stop crying. Don’t be like this.” Sean patted Eloise’s shoulder and comforted her. “No matter what, our daughter is still alive and she’s living her best life. We should be happy and proud of her.”Eloise cried even harder after she heard that.Of course, s

When Madeline heard voices, she turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at her with smiles on their faces.Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.It had already come to this, so Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore.“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Madeline asked calmly.Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Madeline in shock after she asked that question.After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”“Miss Vera,” Madeline repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”“...”“...”Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.“Eveline!”Eloise was crying heavily as she ran over to Madeline emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were fill

When Eloise and Sean heard how Madeline addressed them, they looked at her worriedly and were at a loss. Eloise called out with a broken heart, “Eveline…”Madeline smiled lightly, lifting her beautiful eyes to look around. She walked to the European-styled sofa and ran her fingers across the surface.“That time, you guys invited me for dinner for Meredith’s sake and were willing to be courteous just to entertain an enemy like me. You guys must feel extremely uncomfortable now that the tables have turned, right?”Eloise and Sean felt even more distressed when they heard that.Madeline smiled calmly, saying, “Mrs. Montgomery, you asked me whether I found my parents after so many years.”As she looked into Eloise’s apologetic gaze, she continued, “Mrs. Montgomery, do you remember what my answer was?”“Eveline…”“I said I found them, but we can’t reunite because even though I was standing right in front of them, they wouldn’t want to acknowledge me.”Eloise’s eyes were bright red

After Madeline said that, Eloise was already crying hysterically. On the other hand, Sean could not control his tears anymore.They remembered when they went to see Madeline in the conjugal room the time Brittany was murdered.Madeline’s face had appeared white and haggardly. That image kept on appearing in their heads, as well as their brutal and cruel treatment toward her.They had cursed and slapped Madeline all to defend Meredith. Sean even slapped Madeline who was already weak so hard that she collapsed to the floor. Their hearts were hurting now as they thought back to it.They could not endure the pain in their hearts that was caused by remorse.Eloise and Sean could not imagine how strong Madeline had to be to not cry in that situation.At this moment, Madeline was as tough and strong as she used to be. She smiled lightly when she recalled her miserable past.“It’s all in the past. I don’t want to look into anything anymore.”She smiled lightly as a disappointed glint

Madeline could understand his dissatisfaction. After all, how could reputation mend the pain and ache of a destroyed family?Felipe turned around and looked at Madeline. The ominous glint in his eyes disappeared quickly and there was just gentleness left.“Vera, from now on, everything will belong to us.”Madeline smiled and nodded. “It’s yours. After all, it’s the Whitmans’ property. I never wanted to take over this company. Now that it’s back to you, it’s going back to its rightful owner.”Felipe was shocked. “You don’t want any of this?”“The thing I want the most right now is to see Jeremy dispirited while having nothing,” Madeline said and frowned as if she was in deep thought.“However, I keep feeling like the reason why I could hack into Jeremy’s computer so easily to transfer the stocks and important information is that he’s purposely allowing me to do so.”“You’re saying that he knows you’d do this but he didn’t stop you?” Felipe frowned.Madeline was quiet. What Jerem

Madeline was shocked by Jeremy’s sudden appearance. However, for some reason, she let out a sigh of relief.Felipe was annoyed as his profession of love and proposal was abruptly interrupted. A hint of anger appeared in his gentle black eyes. “Jeremy, why are you here? You no longer have a position here.”Jeremy’s narrow eyes stared straight at Felipe, then his eyes landed on Madeline’s face.When he met her cold stare, his gaze turned soft.“I know you hate me and you want me to die. I accept all kinds of revenge from you, but I won’t allow you to be with him… Let alone get married to him.”Jeremy had no room for negotiation in his tone, and there was a domineering aura in his dark eyes.When Madeline was about to say something, she heard Felipe chuckling behind her.“You won't allow this?” he laughed as he questioned, “Who are you to not allow this? Did you forget how you used to treat Maddie? What were you doing when she was sick and injured? You were having the time of your

“If this will make Madeline feel better, anything is possible.”“W-What? Jeremy, what did you say?” Karen widened her eyes in shock. “You despise that woman so much, so why are you… Did you really fall in love with Madeline?”Jeremy did not answer Karen. However, his softened gaze was the best answer.“I’ll find a suitable place for you to move out soon. Don’t annoy me if there’s nothing urgent.”After he finished saying that, he turned around to leave. However, he stopped when he saw the old master in front of him. Old Master Whitman was holding his cane, and although his shrunken face looked strict, his eyes were still benevolent.“Follow me,” he said to Jeremy before turning around.Jeremy hesitated for two seconds before following after him.Study.Old Master Whitman was facing the grey sky outside the french window. After a long while, he sighed.“What are you going to do now?”“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve lost Whitman Corporation but I’ll definitely get it back.”Jere
