Chapter 59
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

Madeline’s vision was blurred by the rain, but she could clearly feel Jeremy’s wrath.He grabbed her collar tightly, making Madeline almost unable to breathe.Looking at her red face that was on the brink of suffocation, he finally let go of his hands as if he was releasing his anger. Then, he pushed her away.Madeline gasped for air as her body was drenched in the rain.She picked up her wet phone and saw her messages on the screen.There was a message from an unknown sender at the top of the list. ‘The kid refuses to listen to me, so I beat him up good. He’s not making a sound now. When can you make the Whitmans pay up to get this kid back?’When she read this message, Madeline’s brain exploded. Then, her mind went blank.It was obviously a message about the kidnapping, but why was this message sent to her?“Madeline, you’re really something else. You even went as far as working with a ruffian to kidnap my son. If my son is hurt in any way, I’ll slice a piece of your flesh of

The man told her his location before hanging up.Madeline called Jeremy instantly, but she noticed that he had probably blocked her number.Then, she looked at her empty contact list. The only number she could dial now was Old Master Whitman’s.However, after thinking about it, Madeline gave up that thought.Time did not wait, and Madeline did not have any other choice. She called a cab and told the driver the address.The driver was a friendly-looking man. When he saw that Madeline was pale and in pain, he wanted to send her to the hospital out of kindness. After Madeline thanked and rejected him, they continued their way to their destination.About half an hour later, she finally reached the location the man gave her.It was somewhere in the countryside that was surrounded by mountains and bodies of water. Trees with yellowing leaves were everywhere.The night wind blew past her, the bone-chilling coldness invading her entire body.Madeline shivered, and the tumor in her sto

After Tanner said that, Madeline’s shirt was ripped open.Madeline was in so much pain that she did not have the energy to struggle. When she thought Tanner was about to get away with this, the door was kicked open with a loud thud.The door tilted to one side before falling on the floor.Madeline turned her head and saw Jeremy’s handsome yet terrifying face that looked similar to that of Satan’s.When her eyes met his sinister and treacherous gaze, she shivered.Jeremy strode over and pulled Tanner, who was pressing on top of Madeline, away.“How dare you kidnap my son? Are you tired of living?”He punched Tanner heavily on the side of his face, making Tanner wail in pain. One of his teeth fell out and blood started pouring from his mouth. Jeremy kicked Tanner to the corner of the wall, and in that instant, Tanner could not get up from the pain.Madeline fell on the floor limply. She tried to cover her naked body with her tattered clothes.Jeremy glanced at her in disgust. “M
