Chapter 521
Somehow, Madeline suddenly fell into a trance.Seeing Jeremy's signature on the divorce agreement, not only did she not have any emotions of being relaxed or free. In fact, she felt a small prickling sensation.Those fond memories from her youth, the throbbing secret love of childhood, and the failed marriage had all come to an end at this moment.Walking out of the door of the law firm, Jeremy looked at Madeline with nostalgia. "Linnie, can I hold you one last time?"Madeline should have refused, but she nodded her head as if possessed.Jeremy smiled slightly, then spread his arms to embrace her.He closed his eyes and greedily enjoyed this last moment of warmth. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was already blurred.Things could have been very happy.However, he had personally destroyed this happiness.He had hurt her deeply yet still tried to gain her forgiveness. He really was despicable. "Can I be with Jack for a few more days?"Madeline nodded gently. "Yes.""T

"There’s no need to thank me. It’s all because of you that I’m able to regain the things that originally belonged to my parents."When the words reached her ears, Madeline suddenly felt as if she had profoundly sinned.Being able to come back to life, her purpose was to seek revenge.She was delighted to see Jeremy in such misery, ending up with nothing left. However, she would not want to see the flames of her revenge affect Old Master Whitman.After Felipe left the scene, Madeline gave Jeremy a call.Jeremy was surprised when he received her call, but he still appeared at the place where Madeline wanted to meet him.After they met, he drove the car and finally arrived at a nursing home."Is this where Grandpa is currently staying?" Madeline felt it to be rather unacceptable."The environment and facilities here are very good." Jeremy then led the way forward.Madeline knew that for an old man, it would not matter how well his living environment was or how well he ate. It woul

Old Master Whitman’s gaze was serious.Madeline's heart thumped as she asked in confusion, "The truth of that incident? Grandpa, which incident are you talking about?"Old Master Whitman smiled kindly and gently. "Silly girl, the truth is, it was not I who decided the marriage between you and Jeremy."..." Madeline was dumbfounded. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Weren’t you the main reason why Jeremy and I got married back then...""No." Old Master Whitman interrupted Madeline's doubts. "It was someone else. It was this person who had taken the initiative to look for me and ask me to host the marriage between you and Jeremy."Upon hearing this, Madeline felt even more lost. "Who is it? Grandpa, who is this person?""It was Jeremy.""..." Madeline’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Jeremy? How could that be possible? How could he be the one to initiate marrying me?""Because that b*stard liked you, but he was prideful and refused to admit it.""..."Madeline felt her heart i

‘He likes me?’Madeline still thought this reason was absurd.Even if he did say he loved her every now and then, the torture that had engulfed her in darkness in the past was still vivid.“I’ll send you back.” Jeremy’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and Madeline returned to her senses.She looked at the man beside her, her gaze full of questions.‘No, Eveline Montgomery. Don’t believe this man.‘If he had had any trace of affection for you, you wouldn’t be harboring such deep hatred today.’Jeremy noticed that Madeline was looking at him a little strangely. He delusionally wished that she still had some attachment toward him.It was a pity that a fantasy was just fantasy after all.Madeline called a cab by the roadside and went back alone. Jeremy only left after desolately watching Madeline who drifted away.Not long after he left, a figure entered stealthily into the nursing home.That person went straight to the front desk and announced, “I’m Old Mr. Whitman’s granddaugh

The sudden change in Yvonne’s behavior reminded Madeline of Meredith.She vaguely noticed something, then heard familiar footsteps behind her.“Cousin Jeremy, you came just in time. I happened to bump into Vera just now, but she suddenly scolded me and even pushed me to the ground. It hurts, boo-hoo…”Tsk.Sure enough, Yvonne’s sudden change in behavior was because Jeremy was here.This was similar to the two-faced drama that was still fresh in Madeline’s memory.Meredith used to play such tricks repeatedly in front of Jeremy. What made her bitterly disheartened was that Jeremy chose to believe Meredith time and time again.At this moment, Madeline already did not look forward to Jeremy’s opinion.It did not matter to her whether he believed or not.“Cousin Jeremy, my foot seems to be twisted. It hurts and I can’t stand up. Can you help me up?” Yvonne stretched out her hand to Jeremy pitifully with expectant eyes.Just when Madeline thought that Jeremy would definitely help h

Madeline’s expression changed a little hearing that. “Bring Jack down immediately. You should’ve already seen what kind of attitude your cousin sister has toward me just now. I don’t wish for another Meredith to appear and spread her resentment to Jack just because she hates me.”Jeremy wanted to say something but did not in the end. He immediately went up to carry Jackson down obediently.Karen chased them to the door and asked Jeremy why he was suddenly taking Jackson away.Jeremy did not answer her but it was Yvonne who was following him who opened her mouth to instigate defamation. “Aunty, it’s all because Madeline is causing trouble! I met her downstairs just now and not only did she bully me, she even told Jeremy that she’s afraid you’ll hurt Jack, so she asked him to bring him back to her immediately!”Hearing this, Karen ground her teeth in anger. “That b*tch. She was restless before, but she’s even more restless now! I must let her know how great I am!”Seeing Karen gnash

Madeline picked up the object that was lying in Jeremy’s palm.Her eyes flickered as the memories suddenly dragged her back to that summer long, long ago…At the age of ten, she met a 12-year-old Jeremy.At that time, she had given him that colorful seashell and said she hoped he would always be happy.Jeremy’s eyes were full of caution back then, but he still showed Madeline a rare smile in the end.The ten-year-old Madeline was ignorant and naive. She later realized that at the moment when Jeremy looked at her, the throbbing of her heart signified a love at first sight that would last for a thousand years.Later, Jeremy made a bookmark with leaves and gave it to her.She had been treasuring it carefully, keeping it in her diary and sometimes taking a glance at it.Although, once when she had wanted to read the contents of her previous diary, she realized the diary was missing along with the bookmark wedged in it.She had been sad for a long time.After all, that was the onl

Seeing the person already seated in front of her, she sneered. She walked over and sat down slowly. “You came.”Her tone was irreverent and she looked at ease with death.“Don't talk nonsense. Do you still have five million in your account?” Tanner asked impatiently.“I’ve been with Jeremy for so many years, so I’ve gained some benefits,” Meredith sneered arrogantly as she leaned back on the chair. “You can first go to my other account to withdraw one million. After everything is done, I’ll tell you the password for another account.”Tanner’s eyes shone instantly, but he still had some doubts. “Don’t play games with me.”“Hmph, I’m going to die in half a month. What can I get from keeping this money?” Meredith said nonchalantly, but suddenly, she clenched her fists as a burst of frenzy set off in her eyes. “But before I die, I must first witness that b*tch Madeline’s death with my own eyes!”“As long as you can help me settle this matter, that five million is yours!” Meredith tem
