Chapter 89
“You don’t look too well.”When Madeline heard Felipe say that, she touched her face awkwardly.She was unwell. Her body was getting worse and worse so of course, she would not look too healthy.“Are you okay?” He asked considerately.“Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Whitman. I’m fine.”Madeline thanked him quickly before getting up.She remembered how she got Felipe involved because of Jeremy and she felt very apologetic.“You can stop calling me Mr. Whitman when there’s no one around.”Madeline hesitated and then she said, “I’ll get going now, uncle.”“Actually, I’m only older than Jeremy by three years. I don’t like being called uncle, so you can just call me by my name.”Madeline was taken aback. Then, she nodded. “Then I’ll get back to work, Mr. Whitman.”Felipe looked at Madeline and smiled. “Go on.”…Madeline focused on her work. She could only forget about the things and people that made her unhappy this way.Their one-month long project was already halfway

Jeremy said as he sat down. Meredith tugged at him pretentiously.“Jeremy, I don’t think this is a good idea. Maddie doesn’t look too pleased.”Madeline wanted so badly to throw her glass of juice on Meredith’s face. She wanted to ask her which one of her f*cking eyes saw that she was not pleased about this?Amid the silence, Madeline heard Jeremy saying calmly, “Who is she to deny us?”Hehe.Yeah, who is she?She had always been nothing to him.When Meredith saw that Madeline did not dare to say anything, she was extremely pleased.She put down her purse and sat down next to Madeline. However, she did not expect Jeremy to sit down next to Madeline.Meredith was taken aback, on the other hand, Madeline was surprised as well.However, based on their identities, there was nothing wrong with Jeremy sitting next to her.Despite feeling unhappy about this, Meredith did not dare to make a fuss. So, she could only sit next to Felipe.After she sat down, Meredith felt that this was

“I’ll send you back.” “...” Madeline was shocked. While surprise was blown wide on Meredith’s features and she began to plead coquettishly. “But you promised to go shopping with me, Jeremy.” “You can wait for me here first.” Jeremy walked over to Madeline without even sparing Meredith a glance. “Let’s go.” “It’s alright. I can go back myself.” Madeline quickly rejected him. She had no idea what Jeremy was playing at, but she did not like the atmosphere it came with. “Is there someone else you’d prefer to send you back, if not this husband of yours? Perhaps another Mr. Whitman?” Jeremy’s gaze bored into her, the words left unsaid reaching her anyway. Not wanting to fight anymore, Madeline stopped protesting and let Jeremy send her back. Madeline could not help the joy then ran through her when she turned to find Meredith’s indignantly puffed cheeks about to explode. Jeremy took the guise of sending her back as an opportunity to warn Madeline. “Don’t let me see you gett

Madeline felt her racing heart calm immediately and the heat leave, her blood cold in her veins. Haha. To think that she had actually thought that he was jealous. What ludicrousness. When it was merely just him being a possessive alpha male, asserting his dominance. She was merely a prop in his play. Madeline smiled mirthlessly, as she felt Jeremy approach from behind. “I shall leave my wife in your hands, Uncle Felipe. Thank you in advance for looking after her,” He thanked Felipe. Felipe smiled gentlemanly. “Of course.” … While Madeline had not bought another scarf, she did buy a band-aid to cover up the red mark Jeremy left on her. She sat down and began to work. Not long after, she began to receive angry texts from numerous unknown numbers. All of them scolding her about how shameless she was to seduce Jeremy. It was almost too easy to guess who the culprit behind was when no one else but Meredith would send her such texts. To warrant such a reaction from Mere
Chapter 93
Arrogantly, Meredith lifted her head to glare at Madeline. Her anger must have been driven by the humiliation of Jeremy’s actions this afternoon. Madeline chuckled lightly. “Then why are you angry if you’re so sure that he only kissed me for fun? Why spend so much money to have people send me those texts?” “You…” Words formed lumps at Meredith’s throat, unable to be said. It dawned on Madeline. “That’s why you had the Whitman servants call me? What did you call me here for?” “Important business obviously.” Meredith’s smile turned sinister as she suddenly grabbed Madeline by her wrist, her eyes harsh and fierce. “Why won’t you get lost already, Madeline? How many times must I remind you that Jeremy is mine? You should know by now what happens when you steal my man.“Did you forget why you went to prison? Did you forget how Jeremy killed the illegitimate child in your stomach to console me? Did you forget how your mentally ill grandfather died?” Meredith’s smile grew demonic b

Madeline’s abdomen crashed against the corner of the coffee table as she fell onto the floor and shivered as the pain stabbed into her and spread throughout her body in waves. Climbing back onto her feet with difficulty, she was slapped again by Mrs. Whitman before she could even stabilize herself. “You wicked woman! I’ll make your life a living hell if anything happens to my grandson!” Mrs. Whitman warned harshly, before pushing Madeline again. Already weak on her feet, Madeline found herself falling to the floor again as Mrs. Whitman pushed. This time it was her head that knocked against the coffee table. Her forehead was cut on impact and blood began to leak from her wound. Black spots appeared in her vision and her mind buzzed. “My heart hurts, Jeremy! Why does Madeline have to come after me all the time?” Meredith began to wail and complain. Jeremy’s threatening and terrifying gaze swept over Madeline again before he turned around to carry a pale Jackson. “Don’t worry,
Chapter 95
With heavy steps, she turned to leave only to have Jeremy’s voice ring out suddenly from behind. “A woman just donated her blood to my son? Which one?” “Huh? Oh, that one.” Hearing the nurse’s reply, Madeline hid herself in the emergency exit. She was afraid that Jeremy would find it disgusting to know that it was her blood, but saving Jackson took priority. Madeline hid in the corner, clenching her jaw and crouching as she saw Jeremy’s shadow pass in front of her. Her entire body ached and the blood donation had left her shivering from the cold. Curling into herself by the corner, she watched Jeremy’s figure leave and vanish from sight, just as Madeline’s consciousness began to give. It was already the following day when she woke. Her legs cramping from her position as she stood with a hand braced on the wall. The pain in her body was still present and the wound on her forehead seared. Supporting her weight on the wall, she found Meredith on the phone, approaching the
Chapter 96
Meredith threw herself into Jeremy's arms in terror, vividly creating the image of the victim.She had played the same old trick but still, he believed it without suspicion.Everyone had cast their disdainful and doubtful gazes on Madeline. Madeline had long been accustomed to these looks, but she still could not get used to the murderous and cold look Jeremy was giving her.In her mind, it was a face that she loved deeply. Yet, it no longer held the gentleness it once had.At this moment, as Jeremy was holding Meredith, his cold, blade-like eyes pierced Madeline,."Ma. De. Line!"He gritted his teeth as he spat out these three syllables, each with an engulfing force!Madeline felt a chill travel from the soles of her feet through her whole body. It was horrifying.Meredith who at this time was leaning into Jeremy’s arms was crying nonstop. “Jeremy, how could Madeline be so cruel? She told me that she herself had been pregnant with a child, but the child had died during her impri
