"Stop... Stop talking. My head hurts! Jeremy, Jeremy…""Linnie!"Jeremy, who just returned from prison, arrived at the entrance of the villa and witnessed the entire scene.Madeline cried out to his name desperately while Felipe was grabbing onto Madeline's hands.He quickly parked his car, rushed under the rain in huge strides, and hugged Madeline who was still muttering desperately in his arms."I'm here, Linnie. Don't be afraid.” He hugged Madeline in his arms. He felt as if his heart was being stabbed when he saw her suffering expression.Rage coursed through him as he turned to face Felipe with a malicious glare. Cold words were spewed from his thin lips, "Get lost. Stop disturbing my wife. You’d better vanish this instant."Felipe did not get angry and only let out a smile. His pair of cold orbs shifted from Madeline's pale face to Jeremy's eyes that were brewing with rage.He said nothing and only revealed a smile.Jeremy retrieved his glare after Felipe left. He then l

All the servants and bodyguards were awakened and came rushing out, but none of them could stop Jeremy who was giving off a murderous aura."Ask Felipe to come out and meet me." He walked to the center of the hall and glared at the bodyguards who were blocking him."Why the crowd when it's my nephew who wants to meet me?" Felipe's voice was heard coming from upstairs.Jeremy's cold eyes shifted over to see Felipe taking his own sweet time to come down.Felipe was in a loose bathrobe with a carefree expression on his face. "You guys should be resting when it's time to rest. Don't interrupt my reunion with my lovely nephew." He then sent the servants and bodyguards away.Soon, there were only the two of them in the hall."Felipe Whitman, is this your way of snatching someone's wife? By constantly giving pressure to Linnie and making her suffer? Are you happy about it?" Rage was brewing within Jeremy's orbs as he questioned.Felipe smirked," I pressured Linnie just so she could reg

Jeremy slammed the chopsticks on the table.Karen immediately went silent. She raised her gaze only to find that even the old master was glaring at her, exasperated as if he was not satisfied.Madeline, on the other hand, offered to wipe the old master's mouth before meeting Karen's gaze. She let out a smile and said, "I guess the saying about how one's personality will not change is referring to people like you, right?"…"You know that spouting out such nonsense will make everyone unhappy, yet you still blurt it out. I can't comprehend your actions. I wonder whether you're a fool or if you just have low EQ?"Karen's face went pink. "You…""Stop it! Eat your food!" Winston cut her short, not allowing her to finish her comment.However, Karen was not willing to give in. Staring at Madeline's smirk, she felt as if Madeline was making fun of her.Infuriated, Karen picked up her purse and went outside without finishing her breakfast.She claimed to be heading out shopping when in

Karen rushed back to the villa after having a thorough discussion with Yvonne at the condominium.She noticed Madeline coming down from upstairs when she entered the villa. She put on a smile and greeted her as usual to prevent Madeline from suspecting her."My daughter-in-law," Karen called out to Madeline. "I apologize for what happened in the morning. You're right, I’m a person with a low EQ. I'm not good with words, so please don't take my words to heart."Madeline replied with a smile, "I won't take those foolish comments to heart."Karen could not tolerate Madeline's straightforward reply. Her smile on her face froze as rage coursed through her. "Madeline, I apologized to you in a pleasant tone, yet you’re using this attitude against me? You—""Something fishy must be going on if something unusual happens. Haven't you heard about it before?" Madeline cut her short, raising her proud gaze to glance at Karen. "Better use a smarter way if you want to go against me."Madeline t

Karen knew well that the opportunity had landed and she quickly went up to steal Madeline's design. She also noticed the laptop on the coffee table that was displaying the software of the design. Immediately, she logged in to her email on the laptop and sent the electronic manuscript of the design to Yvonne. She also deleted the archive on the laptop.After all the commotion, Karen picked up a glass of water and poured it over the sheets of paper. Then, she placed the glass at the top corner so that it would appear as if someone had accidentally tipped the glass over, drenching the pile of papers.Meanwhile, Yvonne was thrilled as she had received the design sent by Karen.She quickly called Karen to double confirm it was the one Madeline had decided to go with for the competition.Yvonne looked at the design with satisfaction. "Madeline, I'll acknowledge your talent. Unfortunately, no matter how good your drawing is, it's still going to end up being my product! Haha!"She burst i

The audience’s reaction was the total opposite of the judges’ as they looked as though they had been mesmerized by the design.Seeing the expressions displayed on the judges and the audience made Yvonne's lips curl in excitement.'It looks like this design has stolen the spotlight. Just look at these people! Their jaws have all dropped to the ground after looking at it!'Karen, who was sitting among the audience, was proud as well when she heard the praises given by the crowd.Her gaze met Yvonne's, then she turned to look at Madeline who was sitting at the contestants' area.Both Karen and Yvonne were joyous to see Madeline dumbfounded.'Hmph, I bet you never saw this coming, right, Madeline?'Your hard work is now mine!'"The sixth designer, are you sure this is the design that you submitted for this contest?" Mr. Lewinski, who was previously courted by Yvonne back at a charity banquet, pointed at the screen and asked.Yvonne blinked her eyes, acting all obedient as she nodd

???After hearing what the judges had to say, Yvonne's expression slowly changed to become much more awful.She stared at the design that was displayed on the screen, finding it hard to believe. She was absent-minded for a few seconds.'This... This is the work of a famous jewelry designer?'How did it come down to this?'Damn it!'It must be Madeline who copied that designer's work, planning to use it for the contest!'Then doesn’t that mean I’ve become the scapegoat for Madeline?!'That was what was coursing through Yvonne's mind. Exasperated, she glared at Madeline.Madeline sat under the lights quietly and elegantly. Her stunning face remained composed.Madeline could not help but curl her red, sexy lips into a smile when she saw Yvonne glaring at her while clenching her teeth."Yvonne, how dare you say that this is the product of your hard work when all you did was copy a great designer's work and submit it for the contest? You're indeed hilarious and foolish. Designing

'What?!'Karen never expected that Madeline would so boldly call her foolish on such an occasion.Even though her status was not the same as previously, most people in Glendale knew Madeline was Jeremy’s wife. As such, they would also know that the mother-in-law Madeline mentioned was no one other than Karen!A commotion broke out at the scene as the crowd started heatedly discussing.Jeremy was sitting not far away. His face was covered with a thin layer of ice even though he was not speaking.Eloise and Sean, who were sitting in front of Karen, spun around. "Karen, did you do something to harm my daughter again? What's with those statements blurted by your niece?!" Eloise questioned.With Eloise’s comment, everyone came to realize that Karen was the foolish mother-in-law who Madeline mentioned.Facing so many suspicious gazes, Karen immediately stood up. "Madeline, what are you blabbering in this kind of situation? I still want to conserve my dignity even if you plan to discar
