Chapter 56
Jeremy’s grip on her was strong, and despite Madeline struggling to escape, she was still forced into the car.Madeline did not know when he stopped thinking that she would dirty his car. He was even letting her sit in the passenger seat now.The sky suddenly became gloomy. Soon, it was accompanied by strong wind and heavy rain.Madeline's mood started to take a hit. Whenever it rained heavily, she would think of the night when she was inducted to give birth.In the narrow carriage, the fear in her heart was infinitely magnified. She did not want to look back on that dark night, that bloody night that separated her and her daughter.“Jeremy, where are you taking me? Are you planning to kill me as well because I refuse to divorce you? I won't let you succeed again!” Madeline lost control of her emotions and she even tried to open the car door.She could not die. She had not avenged her daughter yet!Jeremy quickly locked the door and slammed the brakes.“Madeline, are you insane

“Do you see them? Mr. Whitman, thank you for your concern. You allowed me to live such a fulfilling life every day during my thousand over days in prison.”Madeline smiled bitterly, her hot tears falling on the back of Jeremy's hand. His slender fingers trembled lightly. He never knew that tears could be so hot.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Madeline heard the sound of the wiper wiping against the windshield.The air around her body seemed to quiet down suddenly. Madeline wiped away her tears, the look in her eyes becoming calmer all of a sudden.“Jeremy, if I could do it all over again, I would rather that I never met you.”After hearing Madeline's words, Jeremy seemed to come back to his senses. He stared at her with his bottomless eyes.“Madeline, you have no choice. You’ve become my wife, and you’ll never be able to change this fact in this lifetime.”Madeline sneered sarcastically, “Oh? Really? Mr. Whitman, you’re saying that you’ll never divorce me in this

Meredith pointed at Madeline and yelled at her. She abandoned her usual hypocritical and gentle image.Mrs. Hughes was not surprised by Meredith's fierceness and viciousness. It was obvious that she had seen Meredith's true face a long time ago.Madeline originally wanted to leave, but seeing Meredith being all flustered and exasperated at this moment, she simply sat on the sofa and parted her lips unhurriedly. “I’m the matriarch of this house, so is it strange that I’m here? What’s weird is why an outsider like you is inside my house?”“You’re the matriarch of this house?” It was as if Meredith had heard a huge joke. “Madeline, did you become stupid while you were in prison? I’m the real matriarch of this house! And you’re just a dog who’s chasing after Jeremy!”Her words were extremely insulting and slanderous. She looked malicious with her snarling teeth, and she did not have the demeanor of a young lady from a rich family at all.Madeline chuckled lightly. "If I were a dog, so

To be honest, Madeline was still extremely disturbed and uneasy. With her current ability, she could not fight Meredith at all.Furthermore, she could not read Jeremy's attitude toward her today.When she was thinking about it, there was a movement from the hallway.Madeline raised her head just as Jeremy's noble and elegant body came into her vision.The rain had not stopped yet, and his usual frigid temperament seemed a little colder because of the rain.He happened to look over, his eyes meeting Madeline's. His eyes were too deep. It was as if she would sink deep into his eyes with one more look.Madeline's heart jumped inexplicably. When she was about to avoid this gaze, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side.Meredith clutched one side of her face and ran to Jeremy while sobbing. Then, she buried herself in his chest.“Jeremy…” Her voice trembled as if she had been greatly wronged.Alright.This two-faced bitch was about to start acting again.Madeline lifted the c

Meredith blinked innocently and harmlessly, her tone soft and weak.However, men seemed to be blind to the most obvious performances. A performance like this was especially effective on men.Madeline knew Jeremy would agree without even thinking about it. Soon, she saw him nodding. “Stay, then.”Sure enough.Madeline found it ridiculous, and she could feel Meredith looking at her provocatively from the corner of her eyes.However, Meredith could only feel proud for a few seconds as she soon saw Jeremy glancing at Mrs. Hughes. He ordered, “Go and prepare a guest room for Miss Crawford.”Madeline was drinking her soup and almost choked when she heard this.The triumphant color on Meredith's face almost completely disappeared in an instant.What the hell?Meredith felt that this was too unbelievable. ‘Am I the Miss Crawford he mentioned?’When she thought about it, Madeline felt that it was not right.How could Jeremy neglect the love of his life?However, the fact was that he

She had to stay alive until the day Meredith got her retribution!Madeline did not successfully leave Glendale. Jeremy would bring her back to Whitman Manor occasionally.Old Master Whitman was weirdly fond of Madeline and was oddly kind to her. He even patted her shoulder and said, “This child looks so familiar. Do you think we were grandfather and granddaughter in our previous lives?”To be honest, it was not only the old master who had this feeling, but Madeline also felt the same.The moment she met the old master, she felt like she had seen him before.Whenever Madeline went to Whitman Manor, aside from pretending to be gentle and kind to Jeremy, everyone was treating her as if she was an eyesore—especially Meredith.Initially, she was able to kick her away and get the position of Mrs. Whitman successfully, but now, they could not get past Old Master Whitman. Getting the position of Mrs. Whitman now was as difficult as flying.Monday afternoon, Madeline was looking for a jo

Madeline’s head felt heavy. After she was shaken by Meredith, she felt even dizzier.“Maddie, why are you so cruel? I don’t care how much you hate me and resent me, but my child is innocent. Why’d you do this to Jack?”This sounded so familiar.Madeline did not forget how she almost said the same things to Meredith.However, what was going on now?What was Meredith saying to her?“Maddie, tell me, where did you hide Jack? Tell me!”When Madeline was still confused, Meredith screeched and questioned her hysterically again.“Jack?” Madeline remembered what happened before she fell asleep. Then, she looked at her whereabouts. She was at her current home.She was taking Jackson back to Whitman Manor earlier. Why was she here now?Madeline felt a cold gust of air creeping up from the bottom of her feet. She quivered. She did not dare to imagine what had happened.“Madeline, I didn’t expect you to really do what you claimed you would.” A bone-chilling voice said from above her hea

One minute was up in a blink of an eye.Madeline was woken by Meredith’s cries. Jeremy looked at her coldly and pressed three numbers on his phone. He was about to call the cops!“No!”Madeline’s tightly wound nerve finally snapped.She walked in front of Jeremy with a pale face. “Jeremy, I truly didn’t hide your son! I won’t do that kind of thing even if I despise Meredith!“I experienced the pain of being separated from my own flesh and blood, so I know it feels even worse than death. I’d never—”“So you’ll only be happy if Mer goes through this pain as well, right?” Jeremy interrupted Madeline. His gaze was like sharp knives, stabbing Madeline’s heart mercilessly.“Madeline, a leopard never changes its spots. A woman like you can die 1,000 times and still the resentment in my heart will never be diminished!”Hiss.His furious words penetrated Madeline’s heart like bullets that she was unable to dodge away from.“Don’t even think about coming out after going in now,” Jeremy
