Madeline realized Ava’s last sentence had completely offended Jeremy.He suddenly put out the cigarette and looked like Satan from the underworld. Then, he pulled Madeline into his arms.Ava, who had lost Madeline's support, faltered and fell to the ground with a loud thud.“Ava!”Madeline shouted nervously as she tried to run over and help Ava. However, Jeremy forcibly pushed her into the car.The man was full of hostility. “Madeline, is this what you did? You lied to your good friend that I let you down and portrayed yourself as a victim? You’re really something else.”Jeremy stared at Madeline angrily. It was as if he was trying to penetrate her with his eyes.“The promise between us? What promise did I make to you? Can you stop dreaming?”Once again, he erased the promises and agreements he had made to her back then.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to remember those beautiful vows anymore.Those memories had long been left with only a black outline. They would disappear in

His voice was frigid, making Madeline stop in her tracks. Then, she said, “Laundry.”Jeremy came over and glanced at the black shirt in Madeline's hand. A storm suddenly set off under his eyes. “Are you washing another man's clothes at home?”He was furious and kicked the washing bucket in front of Madeline.The water splashed onto Madeline's body, instantly drenching her.Madeline stood up in fear, her white sweater clinging to her body as her beautiful curves fell into Jeremy’s vision.It was as if ice and fire had collided behind his eyes. A primitive impulse surged up his body.Jeremy reached out his hand to pull Madeline into his arms. Then, he pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.“It seems that after three years in prison, not only have you not learned how to behave, but you’ve also learned how to provoke me, hmm?”His gentle breath hit Madeline on her face.Madeline could not help but laugh. “Mr. Whitman, I don't want to die yet, so I won't be caught dead provo

Jeremy stared at Madeline intensely with his brows furrowed together. The raging fire in his eyes seemed to disappear in an instant.He lowered his body to get close to her. Then, he pushed the strands of her stray hair away from her forehead. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle when he said, “You said that you were pregnant with my child before you get incarcerated. How did you lose the child?”It would be fine if he had not asked her. The moment he asked her, the unhealed wound in Madeline’s heart was split open. Blood started pouring out from it profusely.She looked at Jeremy who asked her this question all of a sudden in amusement. “Just like you said, Mr. Whitman. She’s dead, so why bother asking? Would she come back to life?”“Madeline, answer me.”Jeremy looked at Madeline who had a fake smile on her face. Her heart was being clamped tightly by an invisible pair of pliers. “Mr. Whitman, you’re such an expert at sprinkling salt on someone else’s wound.” Madeline smiled sa

Madeline smiled. When she was about to leave, she saw Jeremy looking over at her. “Come have breakfast.”What?Madeline stopped in her tracks in disbelief.When had he ever talked to her in such a gentle tone and when had she ever eaten alone with him, especially when it was such a heartfelt breakfast?“Madam, your breakfast is ready.” Mrs. Hughes smiled at Madeline benevolently.After hesitating, Madeline walked over.She looked at the dining table. There were bowls of cereal and plates of toasts along with some of Mrs. Hughes’ homemade bread. Madeline liked this spread of typical breakfast food.“Sit here.” Jeremy pulled out the chair next to him.Glancing at him, she said, “No, it’s too near. I’m afraid that I might dirty you, Mr. Whitman.”Then, she sat down opposite Jeremy.Jeremy’s face went dark immediately. It was as if a storm was coming.Seeing this, she felt nervous. She lowered her head to eat her cereal and did not say anything.Jeremy looked at her nervous fac

When Meredith heard this, she could not hold it in anymore. “Jeremy, I came looking for you the moment I woke up. I haven’t even had breakfast yet. What should I do if you leave?”Jeremy did not turn around. “You can use this time to have breakfast.”“...” Meredith stood on her ground with a dazed look. She watched as Jeremy ignored her and walked toward Madeline instead. She grabbed her purse tightly, feeling as if she was about to explode.Madeline was surprised about Jeremy’s actions as well. However, it seemed like he was being serious. When he walked past her, he intentionally slowed down and looked at her profoundly. “Come with me.”Madeline did not understand why Jeremy was doing this, but when she saw Meredith’s livid face, she smiled and cooperated. She got into Jeremy’s car.To prevent any unnecessary arguments, Madeline did not say anything the entire way. Jeremy did not say anything as well.Madeline stole a glance at Jeremy and saw his gorgeous side profile that was

Madeline felt aggrieved now. How would he feel remorseful?Even if he did, it was already too late.…Madeline slowly got used to her new working environment. Her colleagues were friendly and they were discussing a celebration for Madeline the newbie during lunch.When it was lunchtime, everyone was discussing what they wanted to eat when the department manager, Elizabeth Snow walked over.Elizabeth was very beautiful and young. She was dressed in a very stylish outfit as well. When she walked in, she clapped her hands and said with a serious face. “We just accepted a very important project. The current rising influencer, Lolly Tate is about to get engaged with her boyfriend. They came to Mr. Whitman and asked us to design a pair of couple rings, a necklace, and a bracelet for them. They placed a ten-million-dollar customization fee. If we have this deal, our department can get a 10% award bonus.”“Wow!”“Does it mean every one of us will get tens of thousands?”Everyone was el

Madeline clutched her aching right cheek. She was confused.“Madeline, you vile woman! You evil witch!” Eloise shrieked as she pointed at Madeline’s nose.Madeline did not understand why she felt so horrible when she saw Eloise’s piercing gaze.“Mrs. Montgomery, why did you hit me?” Madeline tried to keep calm but her heart was beating fiercely.“You still have the cheek to ask me why?” Eloise pointed at Madeline furiously. “You kidnapped my grandson with another person and you bullied my precious daughter, Meredith! Now, you’re even inciting another man to make him side with you. He sent Mer a lawyer’s letter and said she deliberately assaulted someone with hot coffee!”As she said that, she threw the letter angrily at Madeline’s face.“Madeline, you’re such an evil woman! Thank god your parents died early, if not, they’d die from shame! If you’re my daughter, I would have kicked you out of the family!”As Madeline heard Eloise yelling at her, each one of her words stabbed in h

Madeline was wondering if Elizabeth had Multiple Personality Disorder. The way she treated her was so inconsistent.At this moment, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door.Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Whitman, why are you here?”Her attitude changed. She was now extremely gentle.When the rest of the employees heard this, they placed down their bags and smiled respectfully at Felipe. “Mr. Whitman.”Madeline finally came back to her senses. However, everyone had already finished greeting him. It would be as if she was trying to stand out if she greeted him now. So, she only nodded and smiled at Felipe.Felipe smiled at Madeline before walking in. He had an imposing manner to him. He was very handsome and elegant.“Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Good luck on the new project,” he said with a gentle tone.Elizabeth eyed her colleagues immediately and everyone understood what she meant immediately. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Whitman. We’ll do our best!”“Oka
