Chapter 627
With her statement recorded, Madeline left the station to find Jeremy waiting for her by the door. He was standing under the sun with his eyes closed. The man seemed like he was deep in thought. The fair complexion of his cheeks held a youthful tint. A similar scene suddenly flashed through Madeline’s mind, as if she too had stared at Jeremy from afar years ago. She tried to think deeper about it, but that only resulted in a headache. She knew that it was most likely the sequelae of the car crash. Perhaps only when she had recalled all her memories would the pain subside. Madeline walked toward him, realizing that Jeremy was looking down at the wedding ring on his left ring finger. The corners of the man’s eyes were filled with adoration as his lips curled mirthfully. Not too long ago, Jermey had claimed with certainty that she was legally his wife. Curious, Madeline asked, “We’ve already signed the divorce papers long ago, so why did you say that I’m your legal wife?

Taking a good look at Jeremy’s gaze, she found it akin to the one from years ago. It looked like anger when in truth he was scared, afraid, and worried. Madeline was surprised by her revelation. “Are you alright, Linnie?” Jeremy asked softly as he helped Madeline up. “I’m alright.” Madeline straightened her shirt. “I’d like to go back and take care of Grandfather.” “I’ll bring you there.” “Okay.” Madeline did not reject him. On the way back, Madeline’s mind was plagued with Jeremy’s frantic gaze that made him look like he was furious. The car arrived at the villa, and Jeremy’s phone rang. He picked it up, and it seemed like he had pressing matters to attend to. “I’m going out for a bit, Linnie. Just ignore whatever my mom says.” He especially reminded. Madeline nodded and turned to walk into the house without much of a reply. Jeremy frowned as he watched Madeline leave, his mind reminding him of her desire to officially divorce him. It was inevitable. He had

Madeline turned around to see Jeremy standing by the entrance. While the fact that Jeremy had turned back around shocked her, she ensured that her expression betrayed nothing. She did not care whether Jeremy had heard the words she said. “Jeremy! You heard what this woman said, right? She admitted it! She admitted to hitting Aunty Karen! How could she be so cruel? Even after doing something like that, she still has the galls to act innocent too!” Yvonne took the chance to make Madeline look bad.“You can’t possibly still believe that she’s innocent, right, Jeremy? All it took was a bit of taunting from me and she admitted everything! How can she be so wicked?” Furious flames flared in Karen’s eyes. Jeremy stared at a poised Madeline and slowly walked over. His gaze dimmed with every step, the look on his face turning into disappointment. “I can’t believe that it really was you, Linnie.” He seemed to have believed her. Karen’s expression bloomed into a relieved smile at J

“Alright.” Madeline followed behind the police officers in a dignified manner.Brushing past Jeremy, she halted and questioned ironically, “This is your unbridled trust?” The corner of her lips quirked prettily as she chuckled. The sight of her blossoming smile was reflected in Jeremy’s eyes. It reminded him of a blooming rose—beautiful, casual, and perhaps extraverted in its own way. Yvonne’s eyes swam secretly with mirth as she watched the police bring Madeline away in their car. Karen reverted to her energetic self as if the dark clouds had lifted. When she turned to see Jeremy making the move to leave, she immediately ran up to stop him. “Now do you see her true colors, Jeremy? You can’t possibly yearn for such a woman, right? So what if we’ve framed and hurt her in the past? The Whitman family doesn’t owe her anything. She deserved it!” The fact that she truly believed herself not to have done any wrong had Jermey’s brows knitting tightly. Not wishing to deal with K

Yvonne’s hands halted the moment the lights flickered on. “So it was you.” An assured voice sounded from behind. “Although, I didn’t expect you to be impatient enough to act so quickly.” “...” Yvonne was in disbelief when she recognized the voice. Turning around frantically, she watched Madeline take elegant steps toward her with a dignified smile. “Madeline Crawford!” Yvonne was dazed as Madeline slowly approached her. The hands she used to hold the pillow were suddenly pushed off. She was shocked as she thought that Old Master Whitman could move. When she turned to look, her frightful eyes spotted Jeremy’s alluring features instead!Yvonne was dumbfounded. She could not believe that these two people were in the room with her. Slowly it dawned on her that she had walked into a trap! It was a trap both Madeline and Jeremy had set. They had just been waiting for her to take the bait! Yvonne was frantic, but upon remembering that she had a mask on and could not be co

“It had nothing to do with Linnie. This woman is the actual culprit.” Jeremy trailed his cold gaze to Yvonne who was trembling in the corner. “You can keep hiding there, but I can promise you it won’t change the fact of things. Do you think you can still protest and defend yourself?” “...” Karen was confused. “What’s going on? Who’s this woman?” Winston walked over and ripped Yvonne’s mask off her face before pushing her toward Karen. “Take a good look. This is the woman who hit you and stole both your wallet and your jewelry!” Looking at the person in front of her, Karen was dazed. “Yvonne!”“It’s not me, Aunty Karen!” Yvonne argued frantically. “Madeline is the one who set a trap to frame me! It really wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything! You’re my aunt, the only family I have in Glendale. Why would I hit you and steal your things? It really wasn’t me!” “You’ve already been exposed, so why try and shift the blame to Linnie?” Jeremy had long lost his patience. “The fact that

Karen turned to look as well and was taken by surprise. “Old... Old Master?” The care worker pushed Old Master Whitman into the room. Yvonne’s lips twitched as she felt her body grow cold. The old master might not be in the best state of mind, but his eyes were sharp and awake. He glared at Yvonne and spat out the words slowly but clearly.“You... That day… You were the one. I saw. You ran down the stairs with a jewelry box. There was blood on the box! You... You wanted to run... But did not expect Mad-Madeline to be there. You had no choice, so you hid in the flowerbed. When Madeline came in… she became your scapegoat!” “...” While the words were said with difficulty, they were clear and left Yvonne with no way to deny it. “You! You heard him, Yvonne! How could you still deny that it wasn’t you?” Fuming, Karen slapped Yvonne again. Yvonne shouted and stopped protesting as she cupped her cheek. “You b*tch! How could you be so cruel as to steal my money and hit me?! Y

She clenched her fists indignantly before suddenly turning to push Karen harshly out of the way. She then ran toward the gates. “Ow!” Caught off guard, Karen knocked into Winston. “Take care of Grandfather, Linnie. I’ll catch her.” Jeremy immediately ran after her.“That b*tch! I should never have taken care of such an unfilial rascal!” Karen shouted.The care worker looked at Madeline sheepishly from behind the old master’s wheelchair. “My apologies, Miss Crawford. I’ve misunderstood you.” “My name’s Eveline Montgomery. You can call me Miss Montgomery.” Madeline smiled softly. “I don’t blame you for telling the truth.” She walked toward Old Master Whitman and broke into a smile. “That was cheeky, Grandfather. I didn’t know you could speak such coherent sentences already.” Old Master Whitman responded with a deep gaze. “You’ve been wronged again, my child.” Madeline shook her head with a smile. “Misunderstandings tend to unfurl sooner or later. I don’t mind being misunder
