Chapter 47
Meredith had become one of the socialites from the four major rich families in Glendale. If they crossed her, they might not be able to keep staying here.She did not want Ava to get into trouble because of her.After pondering about her painful experience, Madeline decided to start over.She could only avenge herself and her dead child if she rose from the brambles.Two days later, Madeline went to work in her new company.Some of the wounds on her face had not healed yet, so Madeline used some concealer to hide the bruises.The moment she arrived at her office, before she could even sit down, she was called over by Eve Garcia—her superior.Eve looked like a strong and powerful businesswoman. She was dressed in the trendiest outfit and was beautiful. However, she had a resting b*tch face, so she looked dead serious. This made Madeline extremely nervous. She was worried that she would mess things up and fail her probation. However, Eve was courteous to her. She told Madeline s

Indeed, the reason she could get this job so easily was because of Meredith pulling some strings behind the scenes.However, Madeline was not an idiot. How would Meredith be so kind?“Stop pretending. You don’t feel disgusted, but I do.” She pushed away Meredith’s hand that was trying to reach out to her in contempt.Meredith tilted her body as if she was too weak and fragile. Then, she leaned against Eloise.Eloise saw that her precious daughter was being bullied, so she walked over to Madeline in agitation and shielded Meredith behind her.“Madeline, don’t be blind to what’s good for you! If Mer hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let a person like you work in my company!” Eloise said angrily.“Even though you’re not Mer’s biological sister, she never bickered with you despite you bullying her relentlessly. She was even so thoughtful of you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to bite the hand that feeds you!”It was this same phrase again.Madeline was abo

Madeline’s eyes became dispirited. She could clearly see the ring Meredith was wearing and it was the very ring she had designed!“Madeline, you’re talented. This ring looks nice. I like it, but most importantly, Jeremy was the one who put it on for me.”She was flaunting her ring, her pride clearly written all over her eyes.Madeline curled her fingers and held the phone that was recording a video the entire time tightly in her hand. She smiled as she gritted her teeth.“Meredith, did you just admit to framing me for plagiarism even though I’m clearly the original creator?”Meredith scoffed. “So what? Who’s going to believe you? Who are you to compete with me?”“That’s enough.” Madeline tugged the corner of her lips and turned around after she said that.When Meredith saw Madeline behaving weirdly, she could feel that something was amiss. When she finally realized what was wrong, Madeline had already gotten into the car.After a while, a video went viral on the internet.In t

It was evident that Jeremy did not expect Madeline to have the courage to talk to him this way.He initially wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but suddenly, the expression in his eyes changed. His tone was as frigid as usual. “What do you mean by you won’t live long?”Madeline did not expect Jeremy to be concerned about this. Should he not be yelling at her and warning her not to harass Meredith?She could not guess what Jeremy was thinking about. However, she did not want to tell him about the tumor in her body.“It’s nothing. You don’t have to be bothered by what a woman like me says, Mr. Whitman.” After Madeline finished saying that, she pushed Jeremy away. Perhaps it was the psychological effect, but the spot in her body where the tumor was began to hurt.However, Jeremy did not give up just like that. “Madeline, you’re so stubborn. Are you trying to put on a pathetic act so that I’ll feel sorry for you?”Madeline was taken aback before she laughed lightly. “Yeah, I’m puttin

If it was him, what identity was he using to help her repay her debt? Her husband?However, Madeline’s expectations were soon crushed. The other party stated a name—Daniel.Madeline called Daniel immediately. After a while, he arrived.When Madeline told him about this, he let out a sigh of relief. “I thought something bad happened to you, Maddie. It turns out it’s about this. It’s nothing. You don’t have to put this to heart.”“It’s not nothing.” Madeline looked at Daniel seriously. “Dan, I don’t know when I’ll be able to pay you back. Thank you so much.”“No rush. I don’t need the money urgently.”“I know you don’t, but—”“If you really want to thank me, Maddie, then you can treat me to a meal. I came here with an empty stomach.” Daniel interrupted Madeline. He looked at her intensely with a gentle gaze. “I’m happy to be able to share your burdens with you.”Madeline could detect the intimate kind of love between a man and a woman in Daniel’s eyes.She averted her gaze abrup
Chapter 52
Madeline’s face turned white. She was indeed so dirty and battered in his heart.“Jeremy, put some respect in your words!” Daniel pulled Madeline behind him and the atmosphere between them suddenly became a state of mutual hostility.Jeremy chuckled lowly. “Respect? You’re in cahoots with a wedded woman in public and you’re still trying to talk to me about respect?He was using sharp words, showing that he did not even care about Madeline’s feelings.“When have you treated Maddie as your wife? Plus, she’s not your wife anymore!” Daniel was not afraid of Jeremy. He was facing him head-on.Jeremy’s face was covered with a layer of cold air. He looked at Madeline with an eerie look in his eyes. “Is this how you seduce a man outside?”Madeline felt a chill running down her spine. She did not understand the frustration in Jeremy’s eyes.He reached his hand over and pulled Madeline to his side. His arrogant eyes peered at Daniel. “She’s still my lawfully wedded wife, and even if I’m t

His low and deep voice lingered in her ears, and Madeline's heart beat faster. However, she would not have the naive expectations that she used to have anymore. Now, her love for Jeremy was overpowered by her hatred toward him.Madeline did not expect that Old Master Whitman would not mind that she had been to prison for three years. Instead, he kindly told Madeline to restart her life and live a good life with Jeremy.The old master was obviously an old-fashioned person. Therefore, it stood to reason that he should be furious and even disgusted by his granddaughter-in-law for having done such a crime. However, at this moment, Madeline was stunned. She felt grateful and warm.The old master also reminded her of her grandfather who had passed away. They were all such kind-hearted old men.Madeline ate dinner at Whitman Manor. She could clearly feel that everyone except for the old master was sneering at her, especially Jeremy's mother.After the old master left, Jeremy's mother sho

The little guy turned around as he probably heard the sound of footsteps approaching. His cute and blank face was facing Madeline now. His bright and clear eyes were like glazed tiles as they blinked and stared at Madeline.The spark of hatred in Madeline's heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Then, it was replaced by unspeakable love and kindness.Tears stung the corner of her eyes and she suddenly had an urge to cry.‘If my baby’s still here, she would be as cute as him too.’After all, Jeremy was so outstanding. His offspring who inherited his genes would surely be as good-looking.Madeline bent over and stroked his delicate, cute face. “What's your name, honey?”The little guy blinked and said adorably, “My mommy and daddy call me Jack.”‘Mommy and daddy’.Those words hurt Madeline.Her baby should have her mommy and daddy as well, but now...“Maddie, what are you trying to do again? You can do anything to me but please don't hurt my and Jeremy’s son!”Meredith
