Chapter 466
“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
Chapter 467
Jeremy asked the old master the question that he had been keeping in his heart. The old master looked at the grey sky, and there was a flash of sadness in his eyes. “This story started 23 years ago…”The story went back to more than 20 years ago. When Jeremy was feeling puzzled, he could guess that this might be related to Felipe’s parents.Indeed, after listening to the old master’s story, Jeremy had a concrete answer.At the same time, this also proved that Felipe was a very dangerous person. He could not allow Madeline to get so close to Felipe.The old master stopped Jeremy when he was about to leave. “Maddie might know about this sooner or later. Plus, Felipe helped her through the most difficult moments of her life, so she trusts Felipe a lot. On the other hand, Maddie resents and despises you, so she won’t believe anything you say.”“I don’t long for her to believe me, but I won’t allow Felipe to lie to her or even hurt her.” Jeremy frowned, his gaze intense and determined.

When he was contemplating about that, the lights in the apartment went off.Jeremy felt his breath hitch as his mind started wandering.He tossed the empty wine bottle to the bin and turned around without hesitating.However, when he was about to go into the apartment, he saw Felipe walking out.Some of Jeremy’s pent up frustration disappeared and he stopped walking. When he saw Felipe driving away with a grim expression on his face, he finally went into the building.Jeremy went to Madeline’s unit with ease. He still remembered that she had invited him to her apartment before when she came back to his life as Vera.At that moment, he discovered that she was not actually living with Felipe.Now, Jeremy walked slowly to the door and stood there quietly.The wind and snow fluttered into the building from the window. The bone-chilling coldness pierced through his skin like needles, but Jeremy was not bothered.This was nothing compared to the hurt he had once caused Madeline.He

The man’s voice was soft and certain. However, it also sounded like he was begging her. His eyes were hazy and fazed. Though he looked sober, he also looked intoxicated at the same time.Madeline looked at him indifferently and said, “I don’t want to listen to anything you say. I feel disgusted when I see you.”Her words were a blatant show of her disdain toward him while her resentful eyes caused Jeremy to stand there feeling dumbfounded.He felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss where the bone-chilling coldness spread from his heart to his entire body.He missed this so much. Back then, she would look at him with so much admiration and love in her twinkling eyes.Now, she was looking at him with a gaze that was even colder than how one would look at a stranger.When she saw Jeremy looking at her with a dazed look on his face, Madeline’s attitude was more firm than before. “Jeremy, if you don’t leave now, I’ll call the security.”Hearing this, Jeremy quivered

Amidst the silence, Jeremy could hear Madeline chuckling lightly.“Jeremy, everything’s too late. I won’t have any feelings for you no matter what you say now,” Madeline said coldly. She no longer had the same yearning for him any longer.“Because I don’t love you anymore.”Even though he knew that she did not love him, when he heard her saying it out loud, Jeremy finally felt what it was like to have a million arrows to his heart.He felt like invisible knives were raining down on him, slicing away his flesh from his body. What was left of him now was just his bones.Madeline lifted her hand suddenly and pushed away Jeremy’s lifeless arms.She turned around and looked sarcastically at the dispirited man.“Jeremy, I’m done with you. The moment you asked someone to break open my grandpa’s tombstone, I instantly regretted falling in love with a cold-blooded and heartless man like you.”When he heard her saying this, Jeremy felt the cold wind taking over his body. The temperature

Maybe it was out of surprise, but Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.She wanted to ignore the man on the floor at first, but when she saw Jeremy’s brows knitted together and the way he looked like he was in pain, she subconsciously squatted down before taking his temperature.His cheek was cold, but his forehead was burning.When she got closer to him, aside from his scent, there was also a strong smell of alcohol.He had drunk a lot and even stayed out in the cold wind the entire night. It was likely he was suffering from a fever now.Madeline did not want anything to do with Jeremy, so she thought of calling 911 so that the ambulance could take him away instead. When she turned around to do so, however, Jeremy grabbed her hand.His hand was so cold, feeling as if it had been frozen into ice. The coldness from his hand penetrated her bones.“Don’t go…” he muttered like he was still in a dream, his eyelashes moving slightly. Then, he slowly opened his narrow eyes.“Don’t go, plea
Chapter 472
The rumors about Jeremy’s debt and fall from grace started increasing as well.A lot of people were waiting for Jeremy’s response. However, after a long while, his Twitter was never updated.Felipe was also predicting what Jeremy would do. However, even after one day, Jeremy never appeared.It was as if he had gone missing. He even switched off his phone.On the other hand, Madeline knew Jeremy was in her apartment. However, it had been a day. Was he still unconscious?It would be impossible for him to not react after seeing today’s press conference. Did he get even sicker?Madeline was contemplating about this in silence. Then, she followed Felipe to the most luxurious restaurant in Glendale. To celebrate, Felipe opened a bottle of the most expensive wine.“Congratulations on finally achieving your goal. Now, Whitman Corporation is yours.” Madeline lifted her wine glass in celebration.Felipe was smiling from his eyes. “Before I met you, my biggest wish and goal was to avenge
Chapter 473
This was the sixth year.Six years passed in a blink of an eye.Madeline placed her finger down on the ID fingerprint lock and opened the door of the apartment. At this moment, her thoughts had wandered. She recalled how she was wrongfully imprisoned and how she was tortured during all those years there.She could not forget how she was forcefully induced into labor by those female inmates on that stormy night. How could she forget that tomorrow was her child’s birthday?However, this year would be different because she would not cry at the empty grave.She knew that her child was not dead.“Mommy, tomorrow is my birthday,” Jackson said. His voice that was as clear as bells brought Madeline back to reality. She was slightly taken aback and could not suppress the pain in her heart.Jackson was Meredith and Jeremy’s child. The ironic thing was that her child was born on the same day as Jackson.“Mommy, you’ll celebrate my birthday with me tomorrow, right?” The little guy tugg
